Fréchet algebras generated by certain of their elements.
In some recent papers ([1],[2],[3],[4]) we have investigated some general spectral properties of a multiplier defined on a commutative semi-simple Banach algebra. In this paper we expose some aspects concerning the Fredholm theory of multipliers.
It is shown that reducing bands of measures yield decompositions not only of an operator representation itself, but also of its commutant. This has many consequences for commuting Hilbert space representations and for commuting operators on Hilbert spaces. Among other things, it enables one to construct a Lebesgue-type decomposition of several commuting contractions without assuming any von Neumann-type inequality.
In this paper we study the role that unimodular functions play in deciding the uniform boundedness of sets of continuous linear functionals on various function spaces. For instance, inner functions are a UBD-set in H∞ with the weak-star topology.
It is well known that any function algebra has an essential set. In this note we define an essential set for an arbitrary function space (not necessarily algebra) and prove that any function space has an essential set.
Let A be a complex, commutative Banach algebra and let be the structure space of A. Assume that there exists a continuous homomorphism h:L¹(G) → A with dense range, where L¹(G) is a group algebra of the locally compact abelian group G. The main results of this note can be summarized as follows: (a) If every weakly almost periodic functional on A with compact spectra is almost periodic, then the space is scattered (i.e., has no nonempty perfect subset). (b) Weakly almost periodic functionals...
In this work, we establish new Furi–Pera type fixed point theorems for the sum and the product of abstract nonlinear operators in Banach algebras; one of the operators is completely continuous and the other one is -Lipchitzian. The Kuratowski measure of noncompactness is used together with recent fixed point principles. Applications to solving nonlinear functional integral equations are given. Our results complement and improve recent ones in [10], [11], [17].
