Atomic projection in $W^*$-algebra

78 Views Asked by At

let $A$ be $C*$-algebra. $A^{**}$ is enveloping $W^*$-algebra of $A$. I want to know that what is meaning of atomic projection in $A^{**}$ and why the l.u.b of all atomic projection of $A^{**}$ is a central projection.

Any references can be very useful.
