Synopsis

In this note we include two remarks about bounded (not necessarily contractive) linear projections on a von Neumann algebra. We show that if M is a von Neumann subalgebra of B(H) which is complemented in B(H) and isomorphic to M⊗M, then M is injective (or equivalently M is contractively complemented). We do not know how to get rid of the second assumption on M. In the second part, we show that any complemented reflexive subspace of a C*-algebra is necessarily linearly isomorphic to a Hilbert space.
