Abstract

We introduce and study an extension of the Roberts orthogonality, in the setting of C∗-algebras. More precisely, in a C∗-algebra A, for a, b∈ A and a nonempty subset of A, say B, a is called B-Roberts orthogonal to b, denoted by a⊥RBb, if ‖ a+ bc‖ = ‖ a- bc‖ for all c∈ B. For certain special C∗-algebras, including the C∗-algebra of all 2 × 2 complex matrices, we obtain a nontrivial subset B such that the B-Roberts orthogonality coincides with the usual orthogonality. We also introduce a new concept of smoothness in normed linear spaces in terms of the additivity property of the usual Roberts orthogonality. A complete characterization of the same is obtained in the case of the classical ℓ∞n spaces.
