Factor Representations and Factor States on a C*-Algebra
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Extract
Let A be a C*-algebra and H a Hilbert space of large enough (infinite at least) dimension so that every πƒ, where ƒ is a factor state on A, can be unitarily represented on H. Let Fac (A, H) denote the set of all factor representations of A on H. If π is in Fac (A, H) we call its essential subspace the smallest, closed, vector subspace KoiH such that π (A ) is null on H Θ K. We define Fac∞(A, H) to be the set of elements in Fac (A, H) whose essential subspace is H.
