Compact failure of multiplicativity for linear maps between Banach algebras.
We prove that every weakly compact multiplicative linear continuous map from into is compact. We also give an example which shows that this is not generally true for uniform algebras. Finally, we characterize the spectra of compact composition operators acting on the uniform algebra , where is the open unit ball of an infinite-dimensional Banach space E.
We consider the compactness of derivations from commutative Banach algebras into their dual modules. We show that if there are no compact derivations from a commutative Banach algebra, A, into its dual module, then there are no compact derivations from A into any symmetric A-bimodule; we also prove analogous results for weakly compact derivations and for bounded derivations of finite rank. We then characterise the compact derivations from the convolution algebra ℓ¹(ℤ₊) to its dual. Finally, we give...
We look at normed spaces of differentiable functions on compact plane sets, including the spaces of infinitely differentiable functions considered by Dales and Davie in [7]. For many compact plane sets the classical definitions give rise to incomplete spaces. We introduce an alternative definition of differentiability which allows us to describe the completions of these spaces. We also consider some associated problems of polynomial and rational approximation.
Let Ω be a C∞-domain in Cn. It is well known that a holomorphic function on Ω behaves twice as well in complex tangential directions (see [GS] and [Kr] for instance). It follows from well known results (see [H], [RS]) that some converse is true for any kind of regular functions when Ω satisfies(P) The real tangent space is generated by the Lie brackets of real and imaginary parts of complex tangent vectorsIn this paper we are interested in the behavior of holomorphic Hardy-Sobolev functions in...
The Hilbert matrix acts on Hardy spaces by multiplication with Taylor coefficients. We find an upper bound for the norm of the induced operator.
We introduce a method to compute rigorous component-wise enclosures of discrete convolutions using the fast Fourier transform, the properties of Banach algebras, and interval arithmetic. The purpose of this new approach is to improve the implementation and the applicability of computer-assisted proofs performed in weighed Banach algebras of Fourier/Chebyshev sequences, whose norms are known to be numerically unstable. We introduce some application examples, in particular a rigorous aposteriori...
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.
