Amalgamated direct sums of operator spaces
  We consider amalgamated direct sums (and their dual counterparts -- fibre products) of operator spaces and study their behaviour with respect to different quantisations (minimal and maximal). We show examples of amalgamated direct sums of two $L^{\infty}$-spaces over a common subspace that are not minimal themselves, thus answering a question posed by Vern Paulsen.
