Noncoherence of a causal Wiener algebra used in control theory.
We generalize, to the setting of Arveson’s maximal subdiagonal subalgebras of finite von Neumann algebras, the Szegő -distance estimate and classical theorems of F. and M. Riesz, Gleason and Whitney, and Kolmogorov. As a byproduct, this completes the noncommutative analog of the famous cycle of theorems characterizing the function algebraic generalizations of from the 1960’s. A sample of our other results: we prove a Kaplansky density result for a large class of these algebras, and give a necessary...
We continue the study of the completeness and completions of normed algebras of differentiable functions Dⁿ(K) (where K is a perfect, compact plane set), initiated by Bland, Dales and Feinstein [Studia Math. 170 (2005) and Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 41 (2010)]. We prove new characterizations of the completeness of D¹(K) and results concerning the semisimplicity of the completion of D¹(K). In particular, we prove that semi-rectifiability is necessary for the completion of D¹(K) to be semisimple in...
