Strong closure of a C*-algebra of operators.

353 Views Asked by At

In Arveson's book, the Kaplansky density theorem is proved in order to have this corollary: "Let $A$ be a self-adjoint algebra of operators on a separable Hilbert space $H$. Then for every operator $T$ in the strong closure of $A$, there is a sequence $T_n \in A$ such that $T_n \rightarrow T$ in the SOT" [The proof follows] "This corollary shows that in the separable case, the strong closure of a C*-Algebra of operators can be achieved by adjoining to the algebra all limits of its strongly convergent sequences."

And here I faint because I realize to have not understand at all what we did.

Isn't the strong closure of a C*-Algebra, by definition, the adjoining of all the limits of its strongly convergent sequences? Why a theorem is necessary?

The strong operator topology on $\mathscr{B}(H)$ is not metrisable if the underlying Hilbert space $H$ is infinite-dimensional. Therefore it need not be sequential a priori. What the Kaplansky density theorem really tells you is that elements in the SOT-closure of a C*-algebra are limits of (norm) bounded nets. Moreover, if the Hilbert space is separable, then bounded nets can be replaced with bounded sequences.

Elements in the strong closure are only obviously limits of nets. The Corollary says that they are limits of sequences if the Hilbert space is separable.
