Identification of maximal $C^*$-covers of some operator algebras

Operator Algebras 2023-08-14 v2

Abstract

We use results on inclusions of free products and extensions of completely positive maps to determine the maximal CC^*-envelope for upper triangular 3×33 \times 3 matrices. We consider these same results in the context of larger upper triangular matrices and graph algebras associated to cycle graphs.
