We choose to do mathematics, not because it is easy, but because it is hard.

comment Norms involving positive operators
A simple counterexample comes from $ -2I \leq I $. Of course, if both $ A $ and $ B $ are required to be positive, then a counterexample is a little harder to find.

comment Norms involving positive operators
@julien: I think saying that $ A \leq B $ requires both $ A $ and $ B $ to be at least self-adjoint operators.

comment Help with proving: If $X$ is a Hilbert $A$-$B$-module, then $ \| _A \langle x,x \rangle \| = \| \langle x,x \rangle _B \| $ for all $x\in X $.
@Euthenia: Do you understand the explanation given here? I hope that I’ve managed to clear your doubts. Wegge-Olsen’s book K-Theory and C$ ^{\ast} $-Algebras also contains a proof of this result.

comment In a C*-algebra, put $a^*a \sim aa^*$. Transitivity fails?
I get your point now, Mike. Yes, it’s important to show that $ a_{1} \in A $ because it’ll be used to establish an equivalence between $ x^{1/2} $ and $ y^{1/2} $ within $ A $ itself, and you certainly don’t want to step outside of $ A $ into $ B(\mathcal{H}) \setminus A $ in order to do that. It’s a clever argument! :) Once again, impressive job!

comment In a C*-algebra, put $a^*a \sim aa^*$. Transitivity fails?
Yes. My comment was simply a prompt to you to provide some explanation for that fact, which isn’t immediately obvious. Further, as $$ a = w x^{1/2} = w x^{1/4} x^{1/4}, $$ you can simply write $ a_{1} = w x^{1/4} $ without the need of mentioning any polynomial approximation. Otherwise, the proof looks watertight. Good job! :)
