abstract
We introduce the central Haagerup tensor product R Fh R for a von Neumann algebra R, and we show that the natural injection into tbe space CB(R, R) of completely bounded maps on R is isometric. This is used to study mappings between von Neumann algebras and to give a new characterization of injectivity. This tensor product is also studied for C*-algebras A, and we show that the injection into CB(A, A) need not always be isometric, depending on the topology of the primitive ideal space of A. 1993 Academic Press Limited.
