Spectral isometries

Martin Mathieu (2005)

Banach Center Publications

In this survey, we summarise some of the recent progress on the structure of spectral isometries between C*-algebras.

Stabilité du comportement des marches aléatoires sur un groupe localement compact

Driss Gretete (2008)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Dans cet article nous démontrons un théorème de stabilité des probabilités de retour sur un groupe localement compact unimodulaire, séparable et compactement engendré. Nous démontrons que le comportement asymptotique de F*(2n)(e) ne dépend pas de la densité F sous des hypothèses naturelles. A titre d’exemple nous établissons que la probabilité de retour sur une large classe de groupes résolubles se comporte comme exp(−n1/3).

Subharmonicity in von Neumann algebras

Thomas Ransford, Michel Valley (2005)

Studia Mathematica

Let ℳ be a von Neumann algebra with unit 1 . Let τ be a faithful, normal, semifinite trace on ℳ. Given x ∈ ℳ, denote by μ t ( x ) t 0 the generalized s-numbers of x, defined by μ t ( x ) = inf||xe||: e is a projection in ℳ i with τ ( 1 - e ) ≤ t (t ≥ 0). We prove that, if D is a complex domain and f:D → ℳ is a holomorphic function, then, for each t ≥ 0, λ 0 t l o g μ s ( f ( λ ) ) d s is a subharmonic function on D. This generalizes earlier subharmonicity results of White and Aupetit on the singular values of matrices.

Sums of commutators in ideals and modules of type II factors

Kenneth J. Dykema, Nigel J. Kalton (2005)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let be a factor of type II or II 1 having separable predual and let ¯ be the algebra of affiliated τ -measurable operators. We characterize the commutator space [ , 𝒥 ] for sub- ( , ) - bimodules and 𝒥 of ¯ .

The alternative Dunford-Pettis Property in the predual of a von Neumann algebra

Miguel Martín, Antonio M. Peralta (2001)

Studia Mathematica

Let A be a type II von Neumann algebra with predual A⁎. We prove that A⁎ does not have the alternative Dunford-Pettis property introduced by W. Freedman [7], i.e., there is a sequence (φₙ) converging weakly to φ in A⁎ with ||φₙ|| = ||φ|| = 1 for all n ∈ ℕ and a weakly null sequence (xₙ) in A such that φₙ(xₙ) ↛ 0. This answers a question posed in [7].

The closure of the invertibles in a von Neumann algebra

Laura Burlando, Robin Harte (1996)

Colloquium Mathematicae

In this paper we consider a subset  of a Banach algebra A (containing all elements of A which have a generalized inverse) and characterize membership in the closure of the invertibles for the elements of Â. Thus our result yields a characterization of the closure of the invertible group for all those Banach algebras A which satisfy  = A. In particular, we prove that  = A when A is a von Neumann algebra. We also derive from our characterization new proofs of previously known results, namely Feldman...
