چکیده
We exhibit a separable commutative C*-algebra A such that A⊗K is homotopy equivalent to zero, without Mn(A) being so for any n ≥ 1.

A note on essentially left $phi$-contractible Banach algebras
In this note, we show that cite[Corollary 3.2]{sad} is not always true. In fact, we characterize essential left $phi$-contractibility of the group algebras in terms of compactness of its related locally compact group. Also, we show that for any compact commutative group $G$, $L^{2}(G)$ is always essentially left $phi$-contractible. We discuss the essential left $phi$-contractibility of some Fou...
متن کاملThe structure of module contractible Banach algebras
In this paper we study the module contractibility ofBanach algebras and characterize them in terms the conceptssplitting and admissibility of short exact sequences. Also weinvestigate module contractibility of Banach algebras with theconcept of the module diagonal.
متن کاملContractible Fréchet Algebras
A unital Fréchet algebra A is called contractible if there exists an element d ∈ A⊗̂A such that πA(d) = 1 and ad = da for all a ∈ A where πA : A⊗̂A → A is the canonical Fréchet A-bimodule morphism. We give a sufficient condition for an infinite-dimensional contractible Fréchet algebra A to be a direct sum of a finite-dimensional semisimple algebra M and a contractible Fréchet algebra N without an...
متن کاملVector bundles on contractible smooth schemes
We discuss algebraic vector bundles on smooth k-schemes X contractible from the standpoint of A-homotopy theory; when k = C, the smooth manifolds X(C) are contractible as topological spaces. The integral algebraic K-theory and integral motivic cohomology of such schemes are that of Spec k. One might hope that furthermore, and in analogy with the classification of topological vector bundles on m...
متن کاملThe structure of a subclass of amenable banach algebras
We give sufficient conditions that allow contractible (resp., reflexive amenable) Banach algebras to be finite-dimensional and semisimple algebras. Moreover, we show that any contractible (resp., reflexive amenable) Banach algebra in which every maximal left ideal has a Banach space complement is indeed a direct sum of finitely many full matrix algebras. Finally, we characterize Hermitian ∗-alg...
