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...

Polynomially compact derivations on Banach algebras

Matej Brešar, Yuri V. Turovskii (2009)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We consider a continuous derivation D on a Banach algebra 𝓐 such that p(D) is a compact operator for some polynomial p. It is shown that either 𝓐 has a nonzero finite-dimensional ideal not contained in the radical rad(𝓐) of 𝓐 or there exists another polynomial p̃ such that p̃(D) maps 𝓐 into rad(𝓐). A special case where Dⁿ is compact is discussed in greater detail.

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.

Where to find the image of a derivation

Martin Mathieu (1994)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

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.

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...

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.

Alternative noetherian Banach algebras.

M. Benslimane, N. Boudi (1997)

Extracta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Sinclair and Tullo [6] proved that noetherian Banach algebras are finite-dimensional. In [3], Grabiner studied noetherian Banach modules. In this paper, we are concerned with alternative noetherian Banach algebras. Combining techniques from [3] with techniques and the result from [6], we prove that every alternative noetherian Banach algebra is finite-dimensional.
