Let 𝒜 be a Banach algebra over ℂ with unit 1 and 𝑓: ℂ → ℂ an entire function. Let 𝐟: 𝒜 → 𝒜 be defined by 𝐟(a) = 𝑓(a) (a ∈ 𝒜), where 𝑓(a) is given by the usual analytic calculus. The connections between the periods of 𝑓 and the periods of 𝐟 are settled by a theorem of E. Vesentini. We give a new proof of this theorem and investigate further properties of periods of 𝐟, for example in C*-algebras.
We present several notions of joint spectral radius of mutually commuting elements of a locally convex algebra and prove that all of them yield the same value in case the algebra is pseudo-complete. This generalizes a result proved by the author in 1993 for elements of a Banach algebra.
Let s be the space of rapidly decreasing sequences. We give the spectral representation of normal elements in the Fréchet algebra L(s',s) of so-called smooth operators. We also characterize closed commutative *-subalgebras of L(s',s) and establish a Hölder continuous functional calculus in this algebra. The key tool is the property (DN) of s.
Let A denote a complex unital Banach algebra. We characterize properties such as boundedness, relative compactness, and convergence of the sequence for an arbitrary x ∈ A, using σ(x) and resolvent conditions. Under these circumstances, we investigate elements in the peripheral spectrum, and give further conclusions, also involving the behaviour of and .
We investigate the generalized Drazin inverse and the generalized resolvent in Banach algebras. The Laurent expansion of the generalized resolvent in Banach algebras is introduced. The Drazin index of a Banach algebra element is characterized in terms of the existence of a particularly chosen limit process. As an application, the computing of the Moore-Penrose inverse in -algebras is considered. We investigate the generalized Drazin inverse as an outer inverse with prescribed range and kernel....
