Towards a non-selfadjoint version of Kadison's theorem.
With this paper, we intend to provide an overview of some recent work on a problem on unbounded derivations of Banach algebras that still defies solution, the non-commutative Singer-Wermer conjecture. In particular, we discuss several global as well as local properties of derivations entailing quasinilpotency in the image.
This article summarizes a series of lectures delivered at the Mathematics Department of the University of Leipzig, Germany, in April 1991, which were to overview techniques for solving operator equations on C*-algebras connected with methods developed in a Spanish-German research project on "Structure and Applications of C*-Algebras of Quotients" (SACQ). One of the researchers in this project was Professor Pere Menal until his unexpected death this April. To his memory this paper shall be dedicated....
In this survey, we summarise some of the recent progress on the structure of spectral isometries between C*-algebras.
We prove that the separating space of a Lie homomorphism from a Banach algebra onto a Banach algebra is contained in the centre modulo the radical.
