On coproducts of operator $\mathcal{A}$-systems
Abstract
Given a unital -algebra , we prove the existence of the coproduct of two faithful operator -systems. We show that we can either consider it as a subsystem of an amalgamated free product of -algebras, or as a quotient by an operator system kernel. We introduce a universal -algebra for operator -systems and prove that in the case of the coproduct of two operator -systems, it is isomorphic to the amalgamated over , free product of their respective universal -algebras. Also, under the assumptions of hyperrigidity for operator systems, we can identify the -envelope of the coproduct with the amalgamated free product of the -envelopes. We consider graph operator systems as examples of operator -systems and prove that there exist graph operator systems whose coproduct is not a graph operator system, it is however a dual operator -system. More generally, the coproduct of dual operator -systems is always a dual operator -system. We show that the coproducts behave well with respect to inductive limits of operator systems.
