Abstract

Let A\mathcal{A} be a unital C*-algebra. Then the theory of Hilbert C*-modules tells that \begin{align*} \sum_{i=1}^{n}(a_ia_i^*)^\frac{1}{2}\leq \sqrt{n} \left(\sum_{i=1}^{n}a_ia_i^*\right)^\frac{1}{2}, \quad \forall n \in \mathbb{N}, \forall a_1, \dots, a_n \in \mathcal{A}. \end{align*} By modifications of arguments of Botelho-Andrade, Casazza, Cheng, and Tran given in 2019, for certain tuple x=(a1,,an)Anx=(a_1, \dots, a_n) \in \mathcal{A}^n, we give a method to compute a positive element cxc_x in the C*-algebra A\mathcal{A} such that the equality \begin{align*} \sum_{i=1}^{n}(a_ia_i^*)^\frac{1}{2}=c_x \sqrt{n} \left(\sum_{i=1}^{n}a_ia_i^*\right)^\frac{1}{2}. \end{align*} holds. We give an application for the integral of G. G. Kasparov. We also derive the formula for the exact constant for the continuous 12\ell_1-\ell_2 inequality.
