Given a separable, infinite-dimensional Hilbert space , what is the real rank of the minimal tensor product ? Background/Motivation: The real rank is a noncommutative dimension theory that was introduced by Brown and Pedersen in ​[1]​. It associates to each C*-algebra a number (its real rank) . The lowest and most interesting value is zero.… Weiterlesen »

Does the Calkin algebra admit an automorphism that induces the flip on ? Background/Motivation: Let be a separable, infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. The Calkin algebra is the quotient of the bounded, linear operators on by the closed, two-sided ideal of compact operators. The important problem of whether the Calkin algebra has outer automorphisms was eventually shown… Weiterlesen »
