Arens-regularity of algebras arising from tensor norms.
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.
By investigating the extent to which variation in the coefficients of a convex combination of unitaries in a unital -algebra permits that combination to be expressed as convex combination of fewer unitaries of the same algebra, we generalise various results of R. V. Kadison and G. K. Pedersen. In the sequel, we shall give a couple of characterisations of -algebras of .
We prove that every biorthogonality preserving linear surjection from a weakly compact JB*-triple containing no infinite-dimensional rank-one summands onto another JB*-triple is automatically continuous. We also show that every biorthogonality preserving linear surjection between atomic JBW*-triples containing no infinite-dimensional rank-one summands is automatically continuous. Consequently, two atomic JBW*-triples containing no rank-one summands are isomorphic if and only if there exists a (not...
We prove that a biseparating map between spaces of vector-valued continuous functions is usually automatically continuous. However, we also discuss special cases when this is not true.
Let and be representations of a topological group G on Banach spaces X and Y, respectively. We investigate the continuity of the linear operators Φ: X → Y with the property that for each t ∈ G in terms of the invariant vectors in Y and the automatic continuity of the invariant linear functionals on X.
We introduce and study the notions of upper and lower semiregularities in Banach algebras. These notions generalize the previously studied notion of regularity - a class is a regularity if and only if it is both upper and lower semiregularity. Each semiregularity defines in a natural way a spectrum which satisfies a one-way spectral mapping property (the spectrum defined by a regularity satisfies the both-ways spectral mapping property).
In this article, we describe some basic properties of the Banach algebra which is constructed from all bounded complex-valued functionals.
