Star structures on bounded continuous functions #
Star structures #
In this section, if β is a normed ⋆-group, then so is the space of bounded
continuous functions from α to β, by using the star operation pointwise.
If 𝕜 is normed field and a ⋆-ring over which β is a normed algebra and a
star module, then the space of bounded continuous functions from α to β
is a star module.
If β is a ⋆-ring in addition to being a normed ⋆-group, then α →ᵇ β
inherits a ⋆-ring structure.
In summary, if β is a C⋆-algebra over 𝕜, then so is α →ᵇ β; note that
completeness is guaranteed when β is complete (see
BoundedContinuousFunction.complete).
Equations
- BoundedContinuousFunction.instStarAddMonoid = { star := fun (f : BoundedContinuousFunction α β) => BoundedContinuousFunction.comp star ⋯ f, star_involutive := ⋯, star_add := ⋯ }
The right-hand side of this equality can be parsed star ∘ ⇑f because of the
instance Pi.instStarForAll. Upon inspecting the goal, one sees ⊢ ↑(star f) = star ↑f.
Equations
- BoundedContinuousFunction.instStarRing = { toInvolutiveStar := BoundedContinuousFunction.instStarAddMonoid.toInvolutiveStar, star_mul := ⋯, star_add := ⋯ }
The ⋆-algebra-homomorphism forgetting that a bounded continuous function is bounded.
Equations
- BoundedContinuousFunction.toContinuousMapStarₐ 𝕜 = { toAlgHom := BoundedContinuousFunction.toContinuousMapₐ 𝕜, map_star' := ⋯ }
