1 The second dual of a C*-algebra The main goal is to expose a short proof of the result of Z Takeda, [Proc Japan Acad 30, (1954), 90 95], that the second dual of a C*-algebra is, in effect, the von Neumann algebra generated by its universal representation Since our understood context is within a course in operator spaces, we will cheat by assuming the structure theorem for completely bounded maps into B(H), in particular as applied to bounded linear functionals Von Neumann algebras Let us first recall that the weak operator topology (wot) on B(H) is the linear topology arising from H H It is the coarsest topology which allows each functional s sξ η, where ξ, η H, to be continuous A subalgebra M B(H) containing the identity is called a von Neumann algebra if M is self-adjoint and wot-closed It is obvious that the wot is coarser than the norm topology, hence a von Neumann algebra is a fortiori a C*-algebra Observe that if A 0 is any unital self-adjoint subalgebra of then A 0 is a von Neumann algebra Indeed, observe that if (a ), (b β ) are nets in A converging to x, y, respectively then for any ξ, η in H we have x ξ η = lim ξ a η = lim a ξ η xyξ η = lim β b β ξ x η = lim β lim a b β ξ η and hence x, ay A 0 We may weaken the assumption the A 0 is unital: we may simply assume that A 0 is non-degenerately acting, ie spana 0 H is dense in H This does require a bit of technology The norm closure A = A 0 is a C*-algebra hence contains a bounded approximate identity [Consider the set F of all finite subsets of hermitian elements of A directed by containment Then for F in F we let e F = F ( a 2 I + F ) 1 a 2 A + a F a F Then for a in A we find for F containing (aa ) 1/2 that ( (I e F )aa (I e F ) a 2 I + F ) 2 a 2 a F 1 1 F 2 I
2 and hence a e F a 2 = (I e F )aa (I e F ) 1 F 2 ] Now if ξ H, as above, approximate ξ by an element of spana 0 H, and see that e F ξ gets arbitrarily close to ξ in norm It follows that wot-lim F e F = I Approximation by bounded nets Let A 0 be a non-degenerately acting self-adjoint subalgebra of B(H) Let us establish the significant fact that any element of A 0 can be approximated by a net of bounded elements from within A 0 This does not follow form general functional analytic principles, and requires a functional calculus technique which is Kaplansky s density theorem This, in turn, requires a new topology on B(H) On B(H) we define the strong operator topology (sot) as the initial topology generated by the functionals s sξ, ξ H Observe that a neighbourhood basis for this topology is formed by the inverse images of open sets of the functionals s n sξ i 2 for ξ 1 ξ n H n, n N Indeed, n {s B(H) : sξ i s 0 ξ i < ɛ} { s B(H) : n sξ i s 0 ξ i 2 < ɛ 2} Let us also remark that wot is the coarsest topology which allows each of the following functionals to be continuous: s n sξ i η i for, η 1 η n ξ 1 ξ n H n, n N Lemma Let C be a convex set in B(H) Then the sot and wot-closures of C coincide, ie C sot = C Proof For ξ in the Hilbert space H n let C ξ = {(n s)ξ : s C} 2
3 which is convex in H n Here n s is the diagonal ampliation of s For s in B(H) observe that and (n s)ξ C ξ for all ξ H n (n s)ξ C ξ w for all ξ H n s C sot s C For example, (n s)ξ C ξ w, if and only if there is a net (s ) C such that for any η in H n we have (n s )ξ η converges in to (n s)ξ η = n (n s)ξ i η i However, the Hahn-Banach theorem tells us for each ξ that C ξ = Cξ w Hence the result follows Kaplansky s Density Theorem Let A 0 B(H) be a non-degenerately acting self-adjont subalgebra Then the unit ball B(A) is weak*-dense in B(A ) Proof We first observe that the last lemma provides that A = A sot Further, if A 0,h denotes the real vector space of hermitian elements in A 0, then A 0,h is the set of hermitian elements in A0 Indeed, since involution s s is wot-wot continuous, a net (s ) A converging wot to s = s has that (Res ) converges wot to s and (Ims ) converges wot to sot 0 Combining with the lemma above, we get A 0,h = A0,h = (A0 )h Consider f : R [ 1, 1] and g : [ 1, 1] R given by f(x) = 2x 1 + x 2 and g(y) = y y 2 Then f g = id [ 1,1] Notice that for s, t B(H) h that 2[f(s) f(t)] = 4(1 + s 2 ) 1 (s t)(1 + t 2 ) 1 f(s)(s t)f(t) Now if sot-lim s = s in B(H) h, then since (1 + s 2 ) 1 1 and f(s ) 1 we have for ξ H that [f(s ) f(s)]ξ 4 (s s)(1 + s 2 ) 1 ξ + (s s)f(s)ξ 0 3
4 ie sot-lim f(s ) = f(s) Now suppose s B(A sot ) B(H) h Then sot sot g(s) B(A 0 ) B(H)h too, since A 0 is a C*-algebra Hence there is a net (s ) A o for which sot-lim s = g(s) But then sot-lim f(s ) = f g(s) = s and each f(s ) 1 Note wot-lim f(s ) = s too Now let t B(A ) and consider the contractive hermitian element [ ] 0 t s = in M t 0 2 (A ) = M 2 (A) M 2 (B(H)) There is a net (s ) B(M 2 (A)) M 2 (A) h such that wot-lim s = s Then (s,21 ) B(A) converges wot to t We recall that the weak*-toplogy on B(H) is that arising from the predual H γ H Corollary Given a non-degenerateley acting self adjoint subalgebra A 0 of B(H), we have that its wot and weak*-closures coincide, ie A 0 = A0 Moreover, each elements in A 0 bounded elements may be weak*-approximated by a net of Proof It clearly suffices to show that A 0 A0 Since the wot is coarser that weak*-topology and is Hausdorff, by Banach-Alaoglu the topologies coincide on bounded sets Hence any element of A 0, is the wot limit of a net of bounded elements, hence the weak*-limit of such a net, and thus in the weak*-closure Though we do not require the following result, we are so close it that it would be a shame not to do it If V B(H) let the commutant of V be given by V = {x B(H) : xv = vx for all v in V} and its double commutant by V = (V ) Any commutant is easily checked to be a weak*-closed algebra Furthermore, any commutant of a self-adjoint set is easily checked to be self-adjoint Finally, it is clear that V V Von Neumann s Double Commutant Theorem Given a non-degenerateley acting self adjoint subalgebra A 0 of B(H), we have that A 0 sot = A0 = A 0 4
5 In particular, these sets also coincide with A 0 Proof From comments above, the only inclusion which needs to be checked is A sot 0 A 0 Let D = {n a : a A0 } B(H n ), which is a non-degenerately acting algebra on H n It is clear that D M n (A 0) in B(H n ) = M n (B(H)) Fix ξ H n, let K = spandξ and then let p denote the orthogonal projection onto K Notice that dp = pdp for d D, and, as D is self-adjoint, pd = (d p) = pdp too Hence p D so for x D, xp = px too, and we thus see that xξ K But hence, by definition of K, for any ɛ > 0 there there is d D so dξ xξ < ɛ Letting x = n t for some t in A 0 and writing d = n a, we obtain that n (a t)ξ i 2 < ɛ 2 which is what we wished to show The dual and second dual of a unital C*-algebra Given a unital C*-algebra A, let S(A) denote its state space, and for each f iin S(A), (π f, H f, ξ f ) its Gelfand-Naimark triple We let ϖ = π f on H ϖ = l 2 - H ( ) f where each π f is the N-ampliation of π f on H ( ) f This ampliation is not strictly necessary, but allows an aspect of the proof of part (i) of the theorem below to be seen more easily Theorem Let A be a unital C*-algebra (i) Each element of the dual A is of the form ϕ = ϖ( )ξ η for a pair of vectors ξ, η in H ϖ with ξ η = ϕ (ii) The second dual A is isometrically isomorphic with ϖ(a) B(H ϖ ) With the double commutation theorem in mind, one may wish to replace ϖ(a) with ϖ(a) Furthermore, this result holds for a non-unital C*- algebra A We must keep in mind the fact that each cyclic representation of A is non-degereate (this was not shown in the other handout, but is true) and ϖ, being the direct sum of such, enjoys the same property 5
6 Proof (i) The structure theorem for completely bounded maps tells us that each element of A if of the form ϕ = π( )ξ η for some representation π of A and ξ η in H π with ξ η = ϕ We consider a maximal family of mutually orthogonal projections {p } A where each p H π is a cyclic subspace for π Notice that A p ξ 2 = ξ 2 <, so there is a sequence of distinct indices { i } for which ξ i = p i ξ 0 Write, also, η i = p i η and π i = p i π( ) pi H Observe that η i 2 η 2 Now for each i, there is f in S(A) for which π i = πf (unitary equivalence), ie consider f = π i ( )ζ i ζ i, where ζ i is a norm 1 cyclic vector Thus π i ( )ξ i η i = π f ( )ξ i η i for some ξ i, η i in H f with ξ i η i = ξ i η i Then we have where we let ξ = ( (ξ i ) πi =πf ) ϕ = π( )ξ η ( ) = π i ( )ξ i η i = =, η = ( (η i ) πi =πf ) π f ( )ξ i η i i:π i =πf π f ( )ξ i η i = ϖ( )ξ η H ϖ = l 2 - H ( ) f We observe that the series at ( ) makes sense since each π i ( )ξ i η i ξ i η i, by Cauchy-Schwarz, and another application of Cauchy-Schwarz gives ( ) 1/2 ( ) 1/2 ξ i η i ξ i 2 η i 2 ξ η < Dual spaces are complete, so absolutely convergent series converge Finally, computations just as above show that ξ η ξ η = ϕ But, of course, the converse inequality is automatic (ii) For each A A use Goldstine s theorem to find a net (a ) A (with each a A ) so w*-lim â = A Here â denotes a as an evaluation functional on A Then define ϖ(a) B(H ϖ ) by ϖ(a)ξ η = lim ϖ(a )ξ η for ξ, η H ϖ It is easy to see that ϖ(a) is well-defined, ie independent of choice of net, that A ϖ(a) is linear and that ϖ(a) = w*- lim ϖ(a ) ϖ(a) 6
7 Furthermore, simply noting that A, ϖ( )ξ η = ϖ(a)ξ η for each ϖ( )ξ η in A whose form is guaranteed by (i), above we see that ϖ(a) = A Finally, ϖ : A ϖ(a) is surjective Indeed, given x in ϖ(a), find a net (a ) A so x = w*- lim ϖ(a ) By the corollary to Kaplansky s density theorem we may suppose (a ) is bounded Hence by there is a subnet (a (β) ) so that A = w*- lim β â (β) exists in A It follows that x = ϖ(a) Necessity of Kaplansky s Density Theorem Let us observe that the bounded net at the end of the proof requires something like Kaplansky s density theorem, and cannot be deduced from more general functional analytic principles The following is motivated by an example of N Ozawa on mathoverflow [questions/102328/] Let for H be an infinite dimensional Hilbert space Let (p i ) be an orthogonal sequence of infinite dimensional projections on H, e i a unit vector in p i H for each i Fix a state ω i on B(p i H) for which ω i (p i ) = 1 and ω i K(H) = 0 [Since dist(p i, K(H)) = 1, this is a possible by Hahn-Banach theorem] Then set V = ker(2 i e i e i ω i ) B(H) Hence if v B(V) then ve i e i = 1 ω(v) 1 Then V is a self-adjoint 2 i 2 i subspace which contains a full matrix unit in for each space p i B(H)p j (i j); and also almost a full matrix unit in each p i B(H)p i less the projection e i e i, but does contain the operator (1 1 )e 2 i i e i p i Check that V is weak*-dense in B(H), but that B(V) contains no ball in B(H) If one wishes for an example which is a unital subalgebra consider {[ ] } I v T V = : C, v V M 0 I 2 (B(H)) = B(H 2 ) Here T V = TB(H) (definition of the latter space should be evident) but again the weak*-closure of B(T V ) contains no balls in T B(H) Written by Nico Spronk, for use by students of PMath 822 at University of Waterloo 7
