One-sided M-Ideals and multipliers in operator spaces, I

David P. Blecher, Edward G. Effros and Vrej Zarikian

Vol. 206 (2002), No. 2, 287–319
Abstract

The theory of M-ideals and multiplier mappings of Banach spaces naturally generalizes to left (or right) M-ideals and multiplier mappings of operator spaces. These subspaces and mappings are intrinsically characterized in terms of the matrix norms. In turn this is used to prove that the algebra of left adjointable mappings of a dual operator space X is a von Neumann algebra. If in addition X is an operator AB-bimodule for C-algebras A and B, then the module operations on X are automatically weak continuous. One sided L-projections are introduced, and analogues of various results from the classical theory are proved. An assortment of examples is considered.
