Question regarding $C^*$ algebra generated by a product












1












$begingroup$


Let $V=M_{1,infty}$,the row Hilbert space. Suppose $W$ denotes the $C^*-$ algebra generated by $V^*V={x^*y : x,y in V }$




Is it true that $W= K(l_2)$, space of compact operators on $l_2$?




I can see that $V^*V$ is nothing but $M_infty$ but I cannot see the exact claim. Please help.

    Where does your notation come from? If I translate this to the terminology I am familiar with, it seems to be asking whether or not the closed linear span of the finite-rank operators on a Hilbert space is the compact operators on the Hilbert space. Is this what you are asking?

    @Aweygan The notation is taken from a paper by Ruan and Kaur. I know whatever you have written but how does that help? Are you saying that $V^*V= l_2$?

    I'm confused by the notation $M_{1,infty}$, what you refer to as a "row Hilbert space", and the product $x^*y$ in a Hilbert space.

    If you could provide a PDF link to the paper you are reading that would help. Otherwise, I feel like the notation is to nonstandard to allow anyone to provide specific advice to help you.

    @Aweygan: "row Hilbert (operator) space" is standard operator-space terminology. Same with "column". But your intuition is exactly what it is.

Since the row Hilbert operator space is ${e_{1j}: jinmathbb N}subset B(ell^2(mathbb N))$, your C$^*$-algebra $W$ is generated by the matrix units $e_{kj}=e_{1k}^*e_{1j}$. So $W=K(ell^2(mathbb N))$, the compact operators.
