Spectral Theory of Generalized Endomorpisms I
Let A and B be two unitary Banach algebras. We study linear mappings from A into B which preserve the polynomially convex hull of the spectrum. In particular, we give conditions under which such surjective linear mappings are Jordan morphisms.
We revisit the old result that biflat Banach algebras have the same cyclic cohomology as C, and obtain a quantitative variant (which is needed in separate, joint work of the author on the simplicial and cyclic cohomology of band semigroup algebras). Our approach does not rely on the Connes-Tsygan exact sequence, but is motivated strongly by its construction as found in [2] and [5].
Let A be an ultraprime Banach algebra. We prove that each approximately commuting continuous linear (or quadratic) map on A is near an actual commuting continuous linear (resp. quadratic) map on A. Furthermore, we use this analysis to study how close are approximate Lie isomorphisms and approximate Lie derivations to actual Lie isomorphisms and Lie derivations, respectively.
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.
The notion of a stable inverse-limit sequence is introduced. It provides a sufficient (and, for sequences of abelian groups, necessary) condition for the preservation of exactness by the inverse-limit functor. Examples of stable sequences are provided through the abstract Mittag-Leffler theorem; the results are applied in the theory of Fréchet algebras.
Let be a completely regular Hausdorff space, the space of all scalar-valued bounded continuous functions on with strict topologies. We prove that these are locally convex topological algebras with jointly continuous multiplication. Also we find the necessary and sufficient conditions for these algebras to be locally -convex.
An algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space is said to be strongly compact if its unit ball is relatively compact in the strong operator topology. A bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space is said to be strongly compact if the algebra generated by the operator and the identity is strongly compact. This notion was introduced by Lomonosov as an approach to the invariant subspace problem for essentially normal operators. First of all, some basic properties of strongly compact algebras...
We study the structure of certain classes of homologically trivial locally C*-algebras. These include algebras with projective irreducible Hermitian A-modules, biprojective algebras, and superbiprojective algebras. We prove that, if A is a locally C*-algebra, then all irreducible Hermitian A-modules are projective if and only if A is a direct topological sum of elementary C*-algebras. This is also equivalent to A being an annihilator (dual, complemented, left quasi-complemented, or topologically...
We give a necessary and a sufficient condition for a subset of a locally convex Waelbroeck algebra to have a non-void left joint spectrum In particular, for a Lie subalgebra we have if and only if generates in a proper left ideal. We also obtain a version of the spectral mapping formula for a modified left joint spectrum. Analogous theorems for the right joint spectrum and the Harte spectrum are also valid.
