Topologies of compact families on the ideal space of a Banach algebra
Let be a family of compact sets in a Banach algebra A such that is stable with respect to finite unions and contains all finite sets. Then the sets , K ∈ define a topology τ() on the space Id(A) of closed two-sided ideals of A. is called normal if in (Id(A),τ()) and x ∈ A╲I imply . (1) If the family of finite subsets of A is normal then Id(A) is locally compact in the hull kernel topology and if moreover A is separable then Id(A) is second countable. (2) If the family of countable compact sets...
Korovkin theory in normed algebras
If A is a normed power-associative complex algebra such that the selfadjoint part is normally ordered with respect to some order, then the Korovkin closure (see the introduction for definitions) of T ∪ {t* ∘ t| t ∈ T} contains J*(T) for any subset T of A. This can be applied to C*-algebras, minimal norm ideals on a Hilbert space, and to H*-algebras. For bounded H*-algebras and dual C*-algebras there is even equality. This answers a question posed in [1].
Topologies on the space of ideals of a Banach algebra
Some topologies on the space Id(A) of two-sided and closed ideals of a Banach algebra are introduced and investigated. One of the topologies, namely , coincides with the so-called strong topology if A is a C*-algebra. We prove that for a separable Banach algebra coincides with a weaker topology when restricted to the space Min-Primal(A) of minimal closed primal ideals and that Min-Primal(A) is a Polish space if is Hausdorff; this generalizes results from [1] and [5]. All subspaces of Id(A)...
