Nuclear C*-algebra

In mathematics, a nuclear C*-algebra is a C*-algebra A such that the injective and projective C*-cross norms on A⊗B are the same for every C*-algebra B. This property was first studied by Takesaki (1964) under the name "Property T", which is not related to Kazhdan's property T.

Characterizations

Nuclearity admits the following equivalent characterizations:

The identity map, as a completely positive map, approximately factors through matrix algebras. By this equivalence, nuclearity can be considered a noncommutative analogue of the existence of partitions of unity.
The enveloping von Neumann algebra is injective.
It is amenable as a Banach algebra.
It is isomorphic to a C*-subalgebra B of the Cuntz algebra ${\mathcal {O}}_{2}$ with the property that there exists a conditional expectation from ${\mathcal {O}}_{2}$ to B. This condition is only equivalent to the others for separable C*-algebras.

gollark: I think this is that CC Tweaked bug.

gollark: Maybe.

gollark: It would be smarter to just simulate it on both sides, send player movements, and sync them up occasionally.

gollark: Why do you *want* that?!

gollark: Latency of my internet connection is about 20ms... so I think you might be able to get more than 20 a second?
