Distance to regular elements and polar decompositions in a C*-algebra
Hannes Thiel
We show that the distance from an element of a C*-algebra to the set of regular elements is the infimum of the for which the -cut-down of the element admits a polar decomp…

Lie ideals in properly infinite C*-algebras
Hannes Thiel
We show that every Lie ideal in a unital, properly infinite C*-algebra is commutator equivalent to a unique two-sided ideal. It follows that the Lie ideal structure of such a C*-al…

The ideal separation property for reduced group -algebras
Are Austad, Hannes Thiel
We say that an inclusion of an algebra into a -algebra has the ideal separation property if closed ideals in can be recovered by their intersection with . Such…
