Abstract Every finite subunital of any generalized hermitian unital is itself a unital; the embedding given by an quadratic field extensions. In particular, with one (i.e., it originates from separable extension).

We consider unital simple inductive limits of generalized dimension drop C∗-algebras They are so-called ASH-algebras and include all unital simple AH-algebras and all dimension drop C∗-algebras. Suppose that A is one of these C∗-algebras. We show that A ⊗ Q has tracial rank no more than one, where Q is the rational UHF-algebra. As a consequence, we obtain the following classification result: Le...

We show that standard deviation σ satisfies the Leibniz inequality σ(fg) ≤ σ(f)‖g‖ + ‖f‖σ(g) for bounded functions f, g on a probability space, where the norm is the supremum norm. A related inequality that we refer to as “strong” is also shown to hold. We show that these in fact hold also for noncommutative probability spaces. We extend this to the case of matricial seminorms on a unital C*-al...

We present a new construction of non-classical unitals from a classical unital U in PG(2, q2). The resulting non-classical unitals are B-M unitals. The idea is to find a non-standard model Π of PG(2, q2) with the following three properties: (i) points of Π are those of PG(2, q2); (ii) lines of Π are certain lines and conics of PG(2, q2); (iii) the points in U form a non-classical B-M unital in ...

An l-group G is an abelian group equipped with a translation invariant lattice order. Baker and Beynon proved that G is finitely generated projective iff it is finitely presented. A unital l-group is an l-group G with a distinguished order unit, i.e., an element 0 ≤ u ∈ G whose positive integer multiples eventually dominate every element of G. While every finitely generated projective unital l-...

We develop a matricial version of Rieffel’s Gromov-Hausdorff distance for compact quantum metric spaces within the setting of operator systems and unital C∗-algebras. Our approach yields a metric space of “isometric” unital complete order isomorphism classes of metrized operator systems which in many cases exhibits the same convergence properties as those in the quantum metric setting, as for e...
