We construct the first example of a $C^*$-algebra $A$ with the properties in the title. This gives a new example of non-nuclear $A$ for which there is a unique $C^*$-norm on $A \otimes A^{op}$. This example is of particular interest in…

Nuclear C*-algebras enjoy a number of approximation properties, most famously the completely positive approximation property. This was recently sharpened to arrange for the incoming maps to be sums of order-zero maps. We show that, in…

We prove that the $L_1$-norms associated with a positive element $a$ of a unital C*-algebra are equivalent to the norm of C*-algebra if and only if $a$ is invertible.

Let $X$ be a Banach space of dimension $\geq 2$ over the real or complex field ${\mathbb F}$ and ${\mathcal A}$ a standard operator algebra in ${\mathcal B}(X)$. A map $\Phi:{\mathcal A} \rightarrow {\mathcal A}$ is said to be strong…

Motivated by the study of traces on graph $C^*$-algebras, we consider traces (additive, central maps) on Leavitt path algebras, the algebraic counterparts of graph $C^*$-algebras. In particular, we consider traces which vanish on nonzero…

We study holomorphic maps between C$^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$. When $f:B_A (0,\varrho) \longrightarrow B$ is a holomorphic mapping whose Taylor series at zero is uniformly converging in some open unit ball $U=B_{A}(0,\delta)$ and we assume…

We study bounded bilinear maps on a C$^*$-algebra $A$ having product property at $c\in A$. This leads us to the question of when a C$^*$-algebra is determined by products at $c.$ In the first part of our paper, we investigate this question…

In this paper we study the operator inequality \phi(X)\leq X and the operator equation \phi(X)= X, where \phi is a w^*-continuous positive (resp. completely positive) linear map on B(H). We show that their solutions are in one-to-one…

In this paper, we consider a (nonlinear) transformation $\Phi$ of invertible positive elements in $C^*$-algebras which preserves the norm of any of the three fundamental means of positive elements; namely, $\|\Phi(A)\mm \Phi(B)\| = \|A\mm…

Let $C$ and $A$ be two unital separable amenable simple C*-algebras with tracial rank no more than one. Suppose that $C$ satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem and suppose that $\phi_1, \phi_2: C\to A$ are two unital monomorphisms. We…

We introduce a natural concept of positive definiteness for bundle maps between Fell bundles over (possibly different) discrete groups and describe several examples. Such maps induce completely positive maps between the associated full…

Let $\Phi$ be a unital completely positive (UCP) map on the space of operators on some Hilbert space. We assume that $\Phi$ is $\eta$-idempotent, namely, $\|\Phi^2-\Phi\|_{\mathrm{cb}} \le\eta$, and construct an associated…

By the Choi matrix criteria it is easy to determine if a specific linear matrix map is completely positive, but to establish whether a linear matrix map is positive is much less straightforward. In this paper we consider classes of linear…

We show that a $C^*$-algebra $\mathfrak{A}$ which is stably isomorphic to a unital graph $C^*$-algebra, is isomorphic to a graph $C^*$-algebra if and only if it admits an approximate unit of projections. As a consequence, a hereditary…

We shall prove the following Stinespring-type theorem: there exists a triple $(\pi,\mathcal{H},\mathbf{V})$ associated with an unital completely positive map $\Phi:\mathfrak{A}\rightarrow \mathfrak{A}$ on C* algebra $\mathfrak{A}$ with…

The order relation on the set of completely n-positive linear maps from a pro-C*-algebra A to L(H), the C*-algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H, is characterized in terms of the representation associated with each…

It is proved that every separable $C^*$-algebra of real rank zero contains an AF-sub-$C^*$-algebra such that the inclusion mapping induces an isomorphism of the ideal lattices of the two $C^*$-algebras and such that every projection in a…

We obtain a characterization of the unital C*-algebras with the property that every element is a limit of products of positive elements, thereby answering a question of Murphy and Phillips.

We show that a unital involutive Banach algebra, with identity of norm one and continuous involution, is a C*-algebra, with the given involution and norm, if every continuous linear functional attaining its norm at the identity is positive.

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a factor with dim$\mathcal{A}\geq2$. For $A, B\in\mathcal{A}$, define by $[A, B]_{*}=AB-BA^{\ast}$ and $A\bullet B=AB+BA^{\ast}$ the new products of $A$ and $B$. In this paper, it is proved that a map $\Phi: \mathcal…
