Mathlib.Analysis.CStarAlgebra.Unitization

The minimal unitization of a C⋆-algebra #

This file shows that when E is a C⋆-algebra (over a densely normed field 𝕜), that the minimal Unitization is as well. In order to ensure that the norm structure is available, we must first show that every C⋆-algebra is a RegularNormedAlgebra.

In addition, we show that in a RegularNormedAlgebra which is a StarRing for which the involution is isometric, that multiplication on the right is also an isometry (i.e., Isometry (ContinuousLinearMap.mul 𝕜 E).flip).

A C⋆-algebra over a densely normed field is a regular normed algebra.

This is the key lemma used to establish the instance Unitization.instCStarRing (i.e., proving that the norm on Unitization 𝕜 E satisfies the C⋆-property). We split this one out so that declaring the CStarRing instance doesn't time out.
