On stable maps of operator algebras

Publication date: 11 December 2018

Abstract: We define a strong Morita-type equivalence

s i m_{s i g m a D e l t a}

for operator algebras. We prove that

A s i m_{s i g m a D e l t a} B

if and only if

A

and

B

are stably isomorphic. We also define a relation

s u b s e t_{s i g m a D e l t a}

for operator algebras. We prove that if

A

and

B

are

C^{*}

-algebras, then

A s u b s e t_{s i g m a D e l t a} B

if and only if there exists an onto

*

-homomorphism

h e t a : B o t i m e s m a t h c a l K i g h t a r r o w A o t i m e s m a t h c a l K,

where

m a t h c a l K

is the set of compact operators acting on an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space. Furthermore, we prove that if

A

and

B

are

C^{*}

-algebras such that

A s u b s e t_{s i g m a D e l t a} B

and

B s u b s e t_{s i g m a D e l t a} A

, then there exist projections

r, h a t r

in the centers of

A^{* *}

and

B^{* *}

, respectively, such that

A r s i m_{s i g m a D e l t a} B h a t r

and

A (i d_{A^{* *}} - r) s i m_{s i g m a D e l t a} B (i d_{B^{* *}} - h a t r) .
