Operator space
In functional analysis, a discipline within mathematics, an operator space is a normed vector space (not necessarily a Banach space) "given together with an isometric embedding into the space B(H) of all bounded operators on a Hilbert space H.". The appropriate morphisms between operator spaces are completely bounded maps.
01Equivalent formulations
Equivalently, an operator space is a subspace of a C*-algebra.
02Category of operator spaces
The category of operator spaces includes operator systems and operator algebras. For operator systems, in addition to an induced matrix norm of an operator space, one also has an induced matrix order. For operator algebras, there is still the additional ring structure.
