Abstract/Résumé:
A remark on orthogonality of elements of a C*-algebra Resume/Abstract: It is shown that any two non-zero hereditary sub-C*-algebras of a C*-algebra that has no minimal projections have approximately orthogonal elements of norm one. (The question of exact orthogonality is left open.)
On démontre que, dans une C*-algèbre sans projecteur minimal, deux sous-C*-algèbres héréditaires qui ne sont pas égales à zéro possèdent des éléments de norme un qui sont approximativement orthogonals.
