Commutators of quasinilpotents and invariant subspaces

A. Katavolos, C. Stamatopoulos (1998)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

It is proved that the set Q of quasinilpotent elements in a Banach algebra is an ideal, i.e. equal to the Jacobson radical, if (and only if) the condition [Q,Q] ⊆ Q (or a similar condition concerning anticommutators) holds. In fact, if the inner derivation defined by a quasinilpotent element p maps Q into itself then p ∈ Rad A. Higher commutator conditions of quasinilpotents are also studied. It is shown that if a Banach algebra satisfies such a condition, then every quasinilpotent element...

On a certain class of subspectra

Andrzej Sołtysiak (1991)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

The aim of this paper is to characterize a class of subspectra for which the geometric spectral radius is the same and depends only upon a commuting n -tuple of elements of a complex Banach algebra. We prove also that all these subspectra have the same capacity.

On generalized derivations in Banach algebras

Nadia Boudi, Said Ouchrif (2009)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We study generalized derivations G defined on a complex Banach algebra A such that the spectrum σ(Gx) is finite for all x ∈ A. In particular, we show that if A is unital and semisimple, then G is inner and implemented by elements of the socle of A.
