This paper characterizes the Banach algebras of continuous functions on which the spectral factorization mapping 𝔖 is continuous or bounded. It is shown that 𝔖 is continuous if and only if the Riesz projection is bounded on the algebra, and that 𝔖 is bounded only if the algebra is isomorphic to the algebra of continuous functions. Consequently, 𝔖 can never be both continuous and bounded, on any algebra under consideration.
For a multiplier on a semisimple commutative Banach algebra, the decomposability in the sense of Foiaş will be related to certain continuity properties and growth conditions of its Gelfand transform on the spectrum of the multiplier algebra. If the multiplier algebra is regular, then all multipliers will be seen to be decomposable. In general, an important tool will be the hull-kernel topology on the spectrum of the typically nonregular multiplier algebra. Our investigation involves various closed...
The aim of this paper is to establish the theorem of atomic decomposition of weighted Bergman spaces Ap(Ω), where Ω is a domain of finite type in C2. We construct a kernel function H(z,w) which is a reproducing kernel for Ap(Ω) and we prove that the associated integral operator H is bounded in Lp(Ω).
We introduce two new notions of amenability for a Banach algebra A. The algebra A is n-weakly amenable (for n ∈ ℕ) if the first continuous cohomology group of A with coefficients in the n th dual space is zero; i.e., . Further, A is permanently weakly amenable if A is n-weakly amenable for each n ∈ ℕ. We begin by examining the relations between m-weak amenability and n-weak amenability for distinct m,n ∈ ℕ. We then examine when Banach algebras in various classes are n-weakly amenable; we study...
Let X be a completely regular Hausdorff space, a cover of X, and the algebra of all -valued continuous functions on X which are bounded on every . A description of quotient algebras of is given with respect to the topologies of uniform and strict convergence on the elements of .
The Riemann zeta-function ζ(s) extends to an outer function in ergodic Hardy spaces on , the infinite-dimensional torus indexed by primes p. This enables us to investigate collectively certain properties of Dirichlet series of the form for in . Among other things, using the Haar measure on for measuring the asymptotic behavior of ζ(s) in the critical strip, we shall prove, in a weak sense, the mean-value theorem for ζ(s), equivalent to the Lindelöf hypothesis.
