Abstract:

Whether the spectral distance of two normals can be dominated by their norm difference is an old problem in the research of operator algebras. In this talk, we will show that, there is a constant $c_0 >1$ such that in every infinite dimensional unital simple AF algebras we can find two normals $a , b$ satisfying $D_{c}(a, b) \ge c_0 \Vert a- b \Vert$.
