feat(analysis/normed_space/star/multiplier): construct the multiplier algebra of a C*-algebra (#15869) Define the multiplier algebra of a C⋆-algebra as the algebra (over `š•œ`) of double centralizers, for which we provide the localized notation `š“œ(š•œ, A)`. A double centralizer is a pair of continuous linear maps `L R : A →L[š•œ] A` satisfying the intertwining condition `R x * y = x * L y`. There is a natural embedding `A → š“œ(š•œ, A)` which sends `a : A` to the continuous linear maps `L R : A →L[š•œ] A` given by left and right multiplication by `a`, and we provide this map as a coercion. In this PR we put all the natural structures on `š“œ(š•œ, A)`, culminating in the fact that it is a unital C⋆-algebra when A is a (unital or non-unital) C⋆-algebra.
