Abstract: The closed one-sided ideals of a C*-algebra are exactly the closed subspaces supported by the orthogonal complement of a closed projection. Let A be a (not necessarily selfadjoint) subalgebra of a unital C*-algebra B which contains the unit of B. Here we characterize the right ideals of A with left contractive approximate identity as those subspaces of A supported by the orthogonal complement of a closed projection in B** which also lies in the weak* closure of A. Although this seems quite natural, the proof requires a set of new techniques which may may be viewed as a noncommutative version of the subject of peak interpolation from the theory of function spaces. Thus, the right ideals with left approximate identity are closely related to a type of peaking phenomena in the algebra. In this direction we introduce a class of closed projections which generalizes the notion of a peak set in the theory of uniform algebras to the world of operator algebras and operator spaces.

Review text

The author develops new techniques of noncommutative peak interpolation. The techniques are used to characterize the right ideals of a \(C^*\)-subalgebra \(A\) of a unital \(C^*\)-algebra \(B\) with a left contractive approximate identity as those subspaces of \(A\) supported by the orthogonal complement of a closed projection in \(B^{**}\) which also lies in \(A^{\perp\perp}\).
