Amenable traces and the joint numerical radius
Abstract
We provide necessary and sufficient characterizations of the existence of an amenable trace on a C*-algebra in terms of the joint free numerical radius of tuples of unitaries, isometries, and partial isometries in the algebra. We apply these results to obtain new obstructions to various lifting properties.
