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...

Power-bounded elements and radical Banach algebras

Graham Allan (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Firstly, we give extensions of results of Gelfand, Esterle and Katznelson--Tzafriri on power-bounded operators. Secondly, some results and questions relating to power-bounded elements in the unitization of a commutative radical Banach algebra are discussed.

On infinite dimensional uniform smoothness of Banach spaces

Stanisław Prus (1999)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

An infinite dimensional counterpart of uniform smoothness is studied. It does not imply reflexivity, but we prove that it gives some l p -type estimates for finite dimensional decompositions, weak Banach-Saks property and the weak fixed point property.

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.
