Semi-simplicity of some semi-prime Banach algebras.
We investigate stability of various classes of topological algebras and individual algebras under small deformations of multiplication.
This paper gives some very elementary proofs of results of Aupetit, Ransford and others on the variation of the spectral radius of a holomorphic family of elements in a Banach algebra. There is also some brief discussion of a notorious unsolved problem in automatic continuity theory.
We show that every continuous derivation of a countably dominated Fréchet GB*-algebra A is spatial whenever A is additionally an AO*-algebra.
The elementary theory of stable inverse-limit sequences, introduced in stable inverse-limit sequences, is used to extend the 'stability lemma' of automatic continuity theory.
