The Cone of Lower Semicontinuous Traces on a C*-algebra
نویسنده
چکیده
The cone of lower semicontinuous traces is studied with a view to its use as an invariant. Its properties include compactness, Hausdorffness, and continuity with respect to inductive limits. A suitable notion of dual cone is given. The cone of lower semicontinuous 2-quasitraces on a (non-exact) C*-algebra is considered as well. These results are applied to the study of the Cuntz semigroup. It is shown that if a C*-algebra absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra, then the subsemigroup of its Cuntz semigroup consisting of the purely non-compact elements is isomorphic to the dual cone of the cone of lower semicontinuous 2-quasitraces. This yields a computation of the Cuntz semigroup for the following two classes of C*-algebras: C*-algebras that absorb the Jiang-Su algebra and have no non-zero simple subquotients, and simple C*-algebras that absorb the Jiang-Su algebra.

On the Comparison of Positive Elements of a C*-algebra by Lower Semicontinuous Traces
It is shown in this paper that two positive elements of a C*algebra agree on all lower semicontinuous traces if and only if they are equivalent in the sense of Cuntz and Pedersen. A similar result is also obtained in the more general case where the two elements are comparable by their values on the lower semicontinuous traces. This result is used to give a characterization of the functions on t...
متن کاملOn the Cones of Lower Semicontinuous Traces and 2-quasitraces of a C*-algebra
The basic properties of the cones of lower semicontinuous traces and 2-quasitraces are studied. These properties include: compactness and Hausdorffness of the given cone, continuity of the corresponding functor, and a suitable notion of dual space. These results are applied to the study of the Cuntz semigroup of some classes of C*-algebras. It is shown that if a C*-algebra absorbs the Jiang-Su ...
متن کاملOn some open problems in cone metric space over Banach algebra
In this paper we prove an analogue of Banach and Kannan fixed point theorems by generalizing the Lipschitz constat $k$, in generalized Lipschitz mapping on cone metric space over Banach algebra, which are answers for the open problems proposed by Sastry et al, [K. P. R. Sastry, G. A. Naidu, T. Bakeshie, Fixed point theorems in cone metric spaces with Banach algebra cones, Int. J. of Math. Sci. ...
متن کاملOn the topological equivalence of some generalized metric spaces
The aim of this paper is to establish the equivalence between the concepts of an $S$-metric space and a cone $S$-metric space using some topological approaches. We introduce a new notion of a $TVS$-cone $S$-metric space using some facts about topological vector spaces. We see that the known results on cone $S$-metric spaces (or $N$-cone metric spaces) can be directly obtained from...
متن کاملPositive Cone in $p$-Operator Projective Tensor Product of Fig`a-Talamanca-Herz Algebras
In this paper we define an order structure on the $p$-operator projective tensor product of Herz algebras and we show that the canonical isometric isomorphism between $A_p(Gtimes H)$ and $A_p(G)widehat{otimes}^p A_p(H)$ is an order isomorphism for amenable groups $G$ and $H$.
