functional calculus under the $*$ homomorphism

If $A,B$ are two $C^*$ algebras,$psi:A rightarrow B$ is a non $*$ homomorphism.Suppose $b$ is a nonzero normal element in $B$,we have a $*$ isometric isomorphism $phi:C(sigma_B(b))to C^*(b,b^*),; fmapsto f(b)$



My question is:does there exist a $fin C(sigma_B(b)),ain A$ such that $psi(a) =f(b)$ is nonzero?

  • This is surely the case, if you assume that $f(a) in A$, which you suggest by your notation. Probably you want to know something else.

This can fail even if $psi$ is a $*$-homomorphism. Take $A=B=mathbb Coplusmathbb C$, and
$$
psi(x,y)=(x,0), b=(0,1).
$$

Then $psi(A)=mathbb Coplus 0$, while $C^*(b)=0oplusmathbb C$; so your equality can only occur when $psi(a)=0=f(b)$.
