Commutators in Banach *-algebras

Bertram Yood (2008)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

The set of commutators in a Banach *-algebra A, with continuous involution, is examined. Applications are made to the case where A = B(ℓ₂), the algebra of all bounded linear operators on ℓ₂.

The algebraic size of the family of injective operators

Luis Bernal-González (2017)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper, a criterion for the existence of large linear algebras consisting, except for zero, of one-to-one operators on an infinite dimensional Banach space is provided. As a consequence, it is shown that every separable infinite dimensional Banach space supports a commutative infinitely generated free linear algebra of operators all of whose nonzero members are one-to-one. In certain cases, the assertion holds for nonseparable Banach spaces.

Invariant subspaces and spectral mapping theorems

V. Shul'man (1994)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We discuss some results and problems connected with estimation of spectra of operators (or elements of general Banach algebras) which are expressed as polynomials in several operators, noncommuting but satisfying weaker conditions of commutativity type (for example, generating a nilpotent Lie algebra). These results have applications in the theory of invariant subspaces; in fact, such applications were the motivation for consideration of spectral problems. More or less detailed proofs...

Range inclusion results for derivations on noncommutative Banach algebras

Volker Runde (1993)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let A be a Banach algebra, and let D : A → A be a (possibly unbounded) derivation. We are interested in two problems concerning the range of D: 1. When does D map into the (Jacobson) radical of A? 2. If [a,Da] = 0 for some a ∈ A, is Da necessarily quasinilpotent? We prove that derivations satisfying certain polynomial identities map into the radical. As an application, we show that if [a,[a,[a,Da]]] lies in the prime radical of A for all a ∈ A, then D maps into the radical. This generalizes...

Ideals of finite rank operators, intersection properties of balls, and the approximation property

Åsvald Lima, Eve Oja (1999)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We characterize the approximation property of Banach spaces and their dual spaces by the position of finite rank operators in the space of compact operators. In particular, we show that a Banach space E has the approximation property if and only if for all closed subspaces F of c 0 , the space ℱ(F,E) of finite rank operators from F to E has the n-intersection property in the corresponding space K(F,E) of compact operators for all n, or equivalently, ℱ(F,E) is an ideal in K(F,E). ...
