Martin Argerami - Some characterizations of enveloping structures of C*-algebras

If A is a C*-algebra, then there are a number of useful "enveloping" structures, or larger C*-algebras, that contain A as a C*-subalgebra. Among these are the enveloping von Neumann algebra A**, the multiplier algebra M(A), the local multiplier algebra Mloc (A), the -monotone and regular monotone completions, and the injective envelope I(A). In joint work with D. Farenick, we examine such structures, and we characterize them in some particular cases.
