In contrast to C*-algebras, distinct C*-norms on the algebraic tensor product of two W*-algebras produce isomorphic W*-tensor products

We extend the theory of tensor products of C*-algebras to the larger category of Fell bundles over locally compact groups. We prove that, like in the case of C*-algebras, there exist maximal and minimal tensor products. Given two Fell…

We initiate the study of definability (in the model-theoretic sense) of C*-tensor norms. We show that neither the minimal nor maximal tensor norms are definable uniformly over all C*-algebras. The proof in the case of the minimal tensor…

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…

We define continuous C*-algebras over a topological space X and establish some basic results. If X is a locally compact Hausdorff space, continuous C*-algebras over X are equivalent to ordinary continuous C_0(X)-algebras. The main purpose…

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 $A \otimes_{\rm min}B = A\otimes_{\rm max}B$.…

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…

We study tensor products of a $C_0 (X)$-algebra $A$ and a $C_0 (Y)$-algebra $B$, and analyse the structure of their minimal tensor product $A \otimes B$ as a $C_0 (X \times Y)$-algebra. We show that when $A$ and $B$ define continuous…

We show that the tensor product $A\otimes B$ over $\mathbb{C}$ of two $C^* $-algebras satisfying the \textit{NCDL} conditions has again the same property. We use this result to describe the $C^* $-algebra of the Heisenberg motion groups…

We define and systematically study nonassociative C*-algebras as C*-algebras internal to a topological tensor category. We also offer a concrete approach to these C*-algebras, as G-invariant, norm closed *-subalgebras of bounded operators…

The Banach $^{*}$-algebra $A\hat{\otimes}B$, the operator space projective tensor product of $C^{*}$-algebras $A$ and $B$, is shown to be $^{*}$-regular if Tomiyama's property ($F$) holds for $A\otimes_{\min}B$ and $A \otimes_{\min}B=A…

We show that several known results about the algebraic K-theory of tensor products of algebras with the C*-algebra of compact operators in Hilbert space remain valid for tensor products with any properly infinite C*-algebra.

Let $X$ be a compact metric space, let $A$ be a unital AH algebra with large matrix sizes, and let $B$ be a stably finite unital C*-algebra. Then we give a lower bound for the radius of comparison of $C(X) \otimes B$ and prove that the…

In the paper, we provide some examples of MF algebras by considering minimal or maximal tensor products of MF algebras and crossed products of MF algebras by finite groups or an integer group. We also present some examples of…

For any pair $M,N$ of von Neumann algebras such that the algebraic tensor product $M\otimes N$ admits more than one $\mathrm{C}^*$-norm, the cardinal of the set of $\mathrm{C}^*$-norms is at least $ {2^{\aleph_0}}$. Moreover there is a…

Given a connected and locally compact Hausdorff space X with a good base K we assign, in a functorial way, a C(X)-algebra to any precosheaf of C*-algebras A defined over K. Afterwards we consider the representation theory and the Kasparov…

We consider a class of C*-algebras associated to one parameter continuous tensor product systems of Hilbert modules, which can be viewed as continuous counterparts of Pimsner's Toeplitz algebras. By exhibiting a homotopy of…

We define a collection of tensor product norms for C*-algebras and show that a symmetric tensor product functor on the category of separable C*-algebras need not be associative.

Let $X$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space, and $A$ be a commutative semisimple Banach algebra over the scalar field $\mathbb{C}$. The correlation between different types of BSE- Banach algebras $A$, and the Banach algebra $C_{0}(X, A)$…

Given a compact metric space X and a unital C*-algebra A, we introduce a family of seminorms on the C*-algebra of continuous functions from X to A, denoted C(X, A), induced by classical Lipschitz seminorms that produce compact quantum…
