In this paper we first consider a real-linear isometry T from a certain subspace A of C(X) (endowed with supremum norm) into C(Y) where X and Y are compact Hausdorff spaces and give a result concerning the description of T whenever A is a uniform algebra on X. The result is improved for the case where T(A) is, in addition, a complex subspace of C(Y). We also give a similar description for the case where A is a function space on X and the range of T is a real subspace of C(Y) satisfying a ceratin...

Let G be a locally compact amenable group, and A(G) and B(G) the Fourier and Fourier-Stieltjes algebras of G. For a closed subset E of G, let J(E) and k(E) be the smallest and largest closed ideals of A(G) with hull E, respectively. We study sets E for which the ideals J(E) or/and k(E) are σ(A(G),C*(G))-closed in A(G). Moreover, we present, in terms of the uniform topology of C₀(G) and the weak* topology of B(G), a series of characterizations of sets obeying synthesis. Finally, closely related to...

Let ${}_{\infty }\left(B_X\right)$ be the Banach space of all bounded and continuous functions on the closed unit ball $B_X$ of a complex Banach space X and holomorphic on the open unit ball, with sup norm, and let ${}_u\left(B_X\right)$ be the subspace of ${}_{\infty }\left(B_X\right)$ of those functions which are uniformly continuous on $B_X$. A subset $B\subset B_X$ is a boundary for ${}_{\infty }\left(B_X\right)$ if $\parallel f\parallel =su{p}_{x\in B}\left|f\left(x\right)\right|$ for every $f{\in }_{\infty }\left(B_X\right)$. We prove that for X = d(w,1) (the Lorentz sequence space) and X = C₁(H), the trace class operators, there is a minimal closed boundary for ${}_{\infty }\left(B_X\right)$. On the other hand, for X = , the Schreier space,...

We prove that certain maximal ideals in Beurling algebras on the unit disc have approximate identities, and show the existence of functions with certain properties in these maximal ideals. We then use these results to prove that if T is a bounded operator on a Banach space X satisfying $\parallel T^n\parallel =O\left(n^{\beta }\right)$ as n → ∞ for some β ≥ 0, then ${\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }\parallel {(1-T)}^{n}x\parallel /\parallel {(1-T)}^{n-1}x\parallel$ diverges for every x ∈ X such that ${(1-T)}^{\left[\beta \right]+1}x\ne 0$.

Nous étudions les sous-espaces biinvariants du shift usuel sur les espaces à poids$$L_{\omega }^2=\left\{f\in L^2\left(𝕋\right):\parallel f{\parallel }_{\omega }={\left(\sum _{n\in \mathbb{Z}}\left|f\left(n\right)\right|{\omega }^2\left(n\right)\right)}^{1/2}\<+\infty \right\},$$où $\omega \left(n\right)=(1+n{)}^p,n\ge 0$ et $\frac{\omega \left(n\right)}{(1+|n|{)}^p}\overrightarrow{n\to -\infty }+\infty$, pour un certain entier $p\ge 1$. Nous montrons que la trace analytique de tout sous-espace biinvariant est de type spectral, lorsque ${\sum }_{n\ge 2}\frac{1}{nlog\omega (-n)}$ diverge, mais que ceci n’est plus valable lorsque ${\sum }_{n\ge 2}\frac{1}{nlog\omega (-n)}$ converge.
