Operator Algebras
Revision of 29 pages, some conjectures in paper solved
Scientific paper
We give several applications of a recent theorem of the second author, which solved a conjecture of the first author with Hay and Neal, concerning contractive approximate identities; and another of Hay from the theory of noncommutative peak sets, thereby putting the latter theory on a much firmer foundation. From this theorem it emerges there is a surprising amount of positivity present in any operator algebras with contractive approximate identity. We exploit this to generalize several results previously available only for $C^*$-algebras, and we give many other applications.
