Partially defined σ-derivations on semisimple Banach algebras

Tsiu-Kwen Lee, Cheng-Kai Liu (2009)

Studia Mathematica

Let A be a semisimple Banach algebra with a linear automorphism σ and let δ: I → A be a σ-derivation, where I is an ideal of A. Then Φ(δ)(I ∩ σ(I)) = 0, where Φ(δ) is the separating space of δ. As a consequence, if I is an essential ideal then the σ-derivation δ is closable. In a prime C*-algebra, we show that every σ-derivation defined on a nonzero ideal is continuous. Finally, any linear map on a prime semisimple Banach algebra with nontrivial idempotents is continuous if it satisfies the σ-derivation...

Perturbation and spectral discontinuity in Banach algebras

Rudi Brits (2011)

Studia Mathematica

We extend an example of B. Aupetit, which illustrates spectral discontinuity for operators on an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space, to a general spectral discontinuity result in abstract Banach algebras. This can then be used to show that given any Banach algebra, Y, one may adjoin to Y a non-commutative inessential ideal, I, so that in the resulting algebra, A, the following holds: To each x ∈ Y whose spectrum separates the plane there corresponds a perturbation of x, of the form z =...

Perturbation theorems for Hermitian elements in Banach algebras

Rajendra Bhatia, Driss Drissi (1999)

Studia Mathematica

Two well-known theorems for Hermitian elements in C*-algebras are extended to Banach algebras. The first concerns the solution of the equation ax - xb = y, and the second gives sharp bounds for the distance between spectra of a and b when a, b are Hermitian.

Podal subspaces on the unit polydisk

Kunyu Guo (2002)

Studia Mathematica

Beurling's classical theorem gives a complete characterization of all invariant subspaces in the Hardy space H²(D). To generalize the theorem to higher dimensions, one is naturally led to determining the structure of each unitary equivalence (resp. similarity) class. This, in turn, requires finding podal (resp. s-podal) points in unitary (resp. similarity) orbits. In this note, we find that H-outer (resp. G-outer) functions play an important role in finding podal (resp. s-podal) points. By the methods...

Point derivations on the L¹-algebra of polynomial hypergroups

Rupert Lasser (2009)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We investigate whether the L¹-algebra of polynomial hypergroups has non-zero bounded point derivations. We show that the existence of such point derivations heavily depends on growth properties of the Haar weights. Many examples are studied in detail. We can thus demonstrate that the L¹-algebras of hypergroups have properties (connected with amenability) that are very different from those of groups.

Polynomially compact derivations on Banach algebras

Matej Brešar, Yuri V. Turovskii (2009)

Studia Mathematica

We consider a continuous derivation D on a Banach algebra 𝓐 such that p(D) is a compact operator for some polynomial p. It is shown that either 𝓐 has a nonzero finite-dimensional ideal not contained in the radical rad(𝓐) of 𝓐 or there exists another polynomial p̃ such that p̃(D) maps 𝓐 into rad(𝓐). A special case where Dⁿ is compact is discussed in greater detail.
