Ternary Jordan homomorphisms in -ternary algebras.
A simple application of Pták theory for hermitian Banach algebras, combined with a result on normed Q-algebras, gives a non-technical new proof of the Shirali-Ford theorem. A version of this theorem in the setting of non-normed topological algebras is also provided.
By definition a totally convex algebra is a totally convex space equipped with an associative multiplication, i.eȧ morphism of totally convex spaces. In this paper we introduce, for such algebras, the notions of ideal, tensor product, unitization, inverses, weak inverses, quasi-inverses, weak quasi-inverses and the spectrum of an element and investigate them in detail. This leads to a considerable generalization of the corresponding notions and results in the theory of Banach spaces.
Let G be the multiplicative group of invertible elements of E(X), the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Banach space X. In 1945 Mackey showed that if and are any two sets of linearly independent elements of X with the same number of items, then there exists T ∈ G so that , . We prove that some proper multiplicative subgroups of G have this property.
