Derivations mapping into the socle, III

Nadia Boudi, Peter Šemrl (2010)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let A be a Banach algebra, and let d: A → A be a continuous derivation such that each element in the range of d has a finite spectrum. In a series of papers it has been proved that such a derivation is an inner derivation implemented by an element from the socle modulo the radical of A (a precise formulation of this statement can be found in the Introduction). The aim of this paper is twofold: we extend this result to the case where d is not necessarily continuous, and we give a complete...

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...

Aspects of the theory of derivations

Gerard Murphy (1994)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We survey some old and new results in the theory of derivations on Banach algebras. Although our overview is broad ranging, our principal interest is in recent results concerning conditions on a derivation implying that its range is contained in the radical of the algebra.

On the topological boundary of the one-sided spectrum

Vladimír Müller (1999)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

It is well-known that the topological boundary of the spectrum of an operator is contained in the approximate point spectrum. We show that the one-sided version of this result is not true. This gives also a negative answer to a problem of Schmoeger.

Spectrum of certain Banach algebras and ∂̅-problems

Linus Carlsson, Urban Cegrell, Anders Fällström (2007)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We study the spectrum of certain Banach algebras of holomorphic functions defined on a domain Ω where ∂̅-problems with certain estimates can be solved. We show that the projection of the spectrum onto ℂⁿ equals Ω̅ and that the fibers over Ω are trivial. This is used to solve a corona problem in the special case where all but one generator are continuous up to the boundary.
