Abstract

We study the poset of partial isometries in \(C^{\ast}\)-algebras endowed with the \(\ast\)-order and \(\ast\)-orthogonality. We show that this structure is a complete Jordan invariant for \(AW^{\ast}\)-algebras. We prove that partial isometries in von Neumann algebras form a lower semilattice. The structures of partial isometries and projections are compared.
