Approximate identities in Banach function algebras

H. G. Dales, A. Ülger (2015)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

In this paper, we shall study contractive and pointwise contractive Banach function algebras, in which each maximal modular ideal has a contractive or pointwise contractive approximate identity, respectively, and we shall seek to characterize these algebras. We shall give many examples, including uniform algebras, that distinguish between contractive and pointwise contractive Banach function algebras. We shall describe a contractive Banach function algebra which is not equivalent to...

Vector space isomorphisms of non-unital reduced Banach *-algebras

Rachid ElHarti, Mohamed Mabrouk (2015)

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, sectio A – Mathematica

Similarity:

Let A and B be two non-unital reduced Banach *-algebras and φ: A → B be a vector space isomorphism. The two following statement holds: If φ is a *-isomorphism, then φ is isometric (with respect to the C*-norms), bipositive and φ maps some approximate identity of A onto an approximate identity of B. Conversely, any two of the later three properties imply that φ is a *-isomorphism. Finally, we show that a unital and self-adjoint spectral isometry between semi-simple Hermitian Banach algebras...

Banach's school and topological algebras

Wiesław Żelazko (2009)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We present here some evidence of the activity of Banach Lwów School of functional analysis in the field of topological algebras. We shall list several results connected with such names as Stanisław Mazur (1905-1981), Maks (Meier) Eidelheit (1910-1943), Stefan Banach (1892-1945) and Andrzej Turowicz (1904-1989) showing that if the war had not interrupted this activity we could expect more interesting results in this direction.

Solved and unsolved problems in generalized notions of amenability for Banach algebras

Yong Zhang (2010)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We survey the recent investigations on approximate amenability/contractibility and pseudo-amenability/contractibility for Banach algebras. We will discuss the core problems concerning these notions and address the significance of any solutions to them to the development of the field. A few new results are also included.
