Categorical formulation of finite-dimensional C*-algebras
<p>We develop the concept of an involution monoid, and use it to show that finite-dimensional C*-algebras are the same as special unitary †-Frobenius monoids in the category of finite-dimensional complex Hilbert spaces. This gives a new, geometrical definition of finite-dimensional C*-algebras...

| সংক্ষিপ্ত: | <p>We develop the concept of an involution monoid, and use it to show that finite-dimensional C*-algebras are the same as special unitary †-Frobenius monoids in the category of finite-dimensional complex Hilbert spaces. This gives a new, geometrical definition of finite-dimensional C*-algebras, contrasting with the conventional algebraic one.</p> |
