ON SOME PROPERTIES OF BOUNDED HOMOMORPHISMS AND DERIVATIONS OF A C*-ALGEBRA

We consider some properties of the completely bounded representations of C*-algebras. We discuss the relation between the k-similarity and the property $D_k$ and get the result every k-similar C*-algebra has property $D_k$. Moreover we determine the similarity problem for the algebra C$\bigoplus$C precisely and constructively.
