Abstract:
Let
be a unital C*-algebra and G the group of units of
. A geometrical study of the action of G over the set
+ of all positive elements of
is presented. The orbits of elements with closed range by this action are provided with a structure of differentiable homogeneous space with a natural connection. The orbits are partitioned in 'components' which also have a rich geometrical structure.
