The index for Fredholm elements in a Banach algebra via a trace

J. J. GroblerH. Raubenheimer — 2008

Studia Mathematica

We show that the existence of a trace on an ideal in a Banach algebra provides an elegant way to develop the abstract index theory of Fredholm elements in the algebra. We prove some results on the problem of the equality of the nonzero exponential spectra of elements ab and ba and use the index theory to formulate a condition guaranteeing this equality in a quotient algebra.

Rank and the Drazin inverse in Banach algebras

R. M. BritsL. LindeboomH. Raubenheimer — 2006

Studia Mathematica

Let A be an arbitrary, unital and semisimple Banach algebra with nonzero socle. We investigate the relationship between the spectral rank (defined by B. Aupetit and H. Mouton) and the Drazin index for elements belonging to the socle of A. In particular, we show that the results for the finite-dimensional case can be extended to the (infinite-dimensional) socle of A.
