For completely contractive Banach algebras $A$ and $B$ (respectively operator algebras $A$ and $B$), the necessary and sufficient conditions for the operator space projective tensor product $A\widehat{\otimes}B$ (respectively the Haagerup…

We analyze certain algebraic structures of the Banach space projective tensor product of $C^*$-algebras which are comparable with their known counterparts or the Haagerup tensor product and the operator space projective tensor product of…

For $C^{*}$-algebras $A$ and $B$, the operator space projective tensor product $A\hat{\otimes}B$ and the Banach space projective tensor product $A\otimes_{\gamma}B$ are shown to be symmetric. We also show that $A\hat{\otimes}B$ is weakly…

For unital $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$, we completely characterize the isometric ($*$-) automorphisms of their Banach space projective tensor product $A\otimes^\gamma B$. This leads to the characterization of inner and outer isometric…

For $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$, we prove the slice map conjecture for ideals in the operator space projective tensor product $A \hat\otimes B$. As an application, a characterization of prime ideals in the Banach $\ast$-algebra $A\hat\otimes…

In this note, we study the Arens regularity of projective tensor product $A\hat{\otimes}B$ whenever $A$ and $B$ are Arens regular. We establish some new conditions for showing that the Banach algebras $A$ and $B$ are Arens regular if and…

We study the spectral synthesis for the Banach *-algebra $A\oop B$, the operator space projective tensor product of $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$. It is shown that if $A$ or $B$ has finitely many closed ideals, then $A\oop B$ obeys spectral…

We construct several new classes of bifunctors $(A,B)\mapsto A\otimes_{\alpha} B$, where $A\otimes_\alpha B$ is a cross norm completion of $A\odot B$ for each pair of C*-algebras $A$ and $B$. For the first class of bifunctors considered…

Given a Hausdorff compact space X, we study the C^*-(semi)-norms on the algebraic tensor product $A\otimes_{alg,C(X)} B$ of two C(X)-algebras A and B over C(X). In particular, if one of the two C(X)-algebras defines a continuous field of…

For a simple $C^*$-algebra $A$ and any other $C^*$-algebra $B$, it is proved that every closed ideal of $A \otimes^{\min} B$ is a product ideal if either $A$ is exact or $B$ is nuclear. Closed commutator of a closed ideal in a Banach…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a $C^*$-algebra, and consider the Banach algebra $\mathcal{A} \otimes_\gamma \mathcal{A}$, where $\otimes_\gamma$ denotes the projective Banach space tensor product; if $\mathcal{A}$ is commutative, this is the…

Recently, E.\ Kirchberg [K1--2] revived the study of pairs of $C^*$-algebras $A,B$ such that there is only one $C^*$-norm on the algebraic tensor product $A\otimes B$, or equivalently such that $A \otimes_{\rm min}B = A\otimes_{\rm max}B$.…

The injective tensor product of normal representable bimodules over von Neumann algebras is shown to be normal. The usual Banach module projective tensor product of central representable bimodules over an Abelian C$^*$-algebra is shown to…

For $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$, we study the bi-continuity of the canonical embedding of $A^{**}\ot_{\gamma} B^{**}$ ($A^{**}\hat{\ot} B^{**}$) into $(A \ot_{\gamma} B)^{**}$ (resp. $(A \hat{\ot} B)^{**}$), and its isomorphism. Ideal…

We identify all closed Lie ideals of $A \otimes^{\alpha} B$ and $B(H) \otimes^{\alpha} B(H)$, where $\otimes^{\alpha}$ is either the Haagerup tensor product, the Banach space projective tensor product or the operator space projective tensor…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the left projectivity and biprojectivity of Banach algebras defined by locally trivial continuous fields of Banach algebras. We identify projective $C^*$-algebras $\A$ defined by locally…

The purpose of the present paper is to lay the foundations for a systematic study of tensor products of operator systems. After giving an axiomatic definition of tensor products in this category, we examine in detail several particular…

We prove that for operator spaces $V$ and $W$, the operator space $V^{**}\otimes_h W^{**}$ can be completely isometrically embedded into $(V\otimes_h W)^{**}$, $\otimes_h$ being the Haagerup tensor product. It is also shown that, for exact…

Let ${\cal A}_1$ be the class of all unital separable simple $C^*$-algebras $A$ such that $A\otimes U$ has tracial rank at most one for all UHF-algebras of infinite type. It has been shown that amenable ${\cal Z}$-stable $C^*$-algebras in…

We systematically investigate $C^*$-norms on the algebraic graded product of $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded $C^*$-algebras. This requires to single out the notion of a compatible norm, that is a norm with respect to which the product grading is…
