It seems hard to find references to a categorical treatment of C*-algebras. Concretely, there are several tensor products on C*-algebras. Which one is `the right one' from a categorical perspective?
Jeff Egger gave a talk on some of these ideas at the Nice PSSL - I'm somewhat surprised he hasn't replied to this thread. IIRC, the category of operator algebras is an involutive monoidal category with respect to one or other of the tensor products, and C*-algebras are exactly the involutive monoids w.r.t. this tensor product. Can't remember which one it was, though. Miles
