Title: The Spatial Matricial Range

Abstract:

In a certain analogy with the case of the numerical range, one can define a notion of "spatial" matricial range. It turns out that the matricial range is the C*-convex hull of the spatial matricial range. The proof of that fact is a wonderful tour-de-force along several of the most fundamental results about C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras.
