On Possible Values of the Interior Angle Between Intermediate Subalgebras

Abstract

We show that all values in the interval $[0,{\pi }/{2}]$ can be attained as interior angles between intermediate subalgebras (as introduced by Bakshi and the first named author [‘Lattice of intermediate subalgebras’, J. Lond. Math. Soc. (2)104(2) (2021), 2082–2127]) of a certain inclusion of simple unital $C^*$ -algebras. We also calculate the interior angles between intermediate crossed product subalgebras of any inclusion of crossed product algebras corresponding to any action of a countable discrete group and its subgroups on a unital $C^*$ -algebra.
