Tensor Products of Maximal Abelian Subalgberas of C*-algebras

چکیده
It is shown that if C1 and C2 are maximal abelian self-adjoint subalgebras (masas) of C*-algebras A1 and A2, respectively, then the completion C1 ⊗ C2 of the algebraic tensor product C1 ⊙ C2 of C1 and C2 in any C*-tensor product A1 ⊗β A2 is maximal abelian provided that C1 has the extension property of Kadison and Singer and C2 contains an approximate identity for A2. Examples are given to show that this result can fail if the conditions on the two masas do not both hold. This gives an answer to a long-standing question, but leaves open some other interesting problems, one of which turns out to have a potentially intriguing implication for the Kadison-Singer extension problem. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 46L06

C*-algebras on r-discrete Abelian Groupoids
We study certain function algebras and their operator algebra completions on r-discrete abelian groupoids, the corresponding conditional expectations, maximal abelian subalgebras (masa) and eigen-functionals. We give a semidirect product decomposition for an abelian groupoid. This is done through a matched pair and leads to a C*-diagonal (for a special case). We use this decomposition to study ...
متن کاملOn the Tensor Products of Maximal Abelian JW-Algebras
It is well known in the work of Kadison and Ringrose 1983 that if A and B are maximal abelian von Neumann subalgebras of von Neumann algebras M and N, respectively, then A⊗B is a maximal abelian von Neumann subalgebra of M⊗N. It is then natural to ask whether a similar result holds in the context of JW-algebras and the JW-tensor product. Guided to some extent by the close relationship between a...
متن کاملOn the Exponent of Triple Tensor Product of p-Groups
The non-abelian tensor product of groups which has its origins in algebraic K-theory as well as inhomotopy theory, was introduced by Brown and Loday in 1987. Group theoretical aspects of non-abelian tensor products have been studied extensively. In particular, some studies focused on the relationship between the exponent of a group and exponent of its tensor square. On the other hand, com...
متن کاملThe non-abelian tensor product of normal crossed submodules of groups
In this article, the notions of non-abelian tensor and exterior products of two normal crossed submodules of a given crossed module of groups are introduced and some of their basic properties are established. In particular, we investigate some common properties between normal crossed modules and their tensor products, and present some bounds on the nilpotency class and solvability length of the...

In this paper we study the properties of derivations of A B, where A and B are simple separable C*-algebras, and A B is the C*-completion of A B with respect to a C*-norm Yon A B and we will characterize the derivations of A B in terms of the derivations of A and B
