We compute the essential Taylor spectrum of a tuple of analytic Toeplitz operators on , where D is a strictly pseudoconvex domain. We also provide specific formulas for the index of provided that is a compact subset of D.
A family T(ν), ν ∈ ℝ, of semiinfinite positive Jacobi matrices is introduced with matrix entries taken from the Hahn-Exton q-difference equation. The corresponding matrix operators defined on the linear hull of the canonical basis in ℓ2(ℤ+) are essentially self-adjoint for |ν| ≥ 1 and have deficiency indices (1, 1) for |ν| < 1. A convenient description of all self-adjoint extensions is obtained and the spectral problem is analyzed in detail. The spectrum is discrete and the characteristic equation...
We show that the existence of a trace on an ideal in a Banach algebra provides an elegant way to develop the abstract index theory of Fredholm elements in the algebra. We prove some results on the problem of the equality of the nonzero exponential spectra of elements ab and ba and use the index theory to formulate a condition guaranteeing this equality in a quotient algebra.
We show that the index defined via a trace for Fredholm elements in a Banach algebra has the property that an index zero Fredholm element can be decomposed as the sum of an invertible element and an element in the socle. We identify the set of index zero Fredholm elements as an upper semiregularity with the Jacobson property. The Weyl spectrum is then characterized in terms of the index.
Let be a commutative complex semisimple Banach algebra. Denote by the kernel of the hull of the socle of . In this work we give some new characterizations of this ideal in terms of minimal idempotents in . This allows us to show that a “result” from Riesz theory in commutative Banach algebras is not true.
The spectral problem (s²I - ϕ(V)*ϕ(V))f = 0 for an arbitrary complex polynomial ϕ of the classical Volterra operator V in L₂(0,1) is considered. An equivalent boundary value problem for a differential equation of order 2n, n = deg(ϕ), is constructed. In the case ϕ(z) = 1 + az the singular numbers are explicitly described in terms of roots of a transcendental equation, their localization and asymptotic behavior is investigated, and an explicit formula for the ||I + aV||₂ is given. For all a ≠ 0 this...
Let ϕ(z) be an analytic function in a disk |z| < ρ (in particular, a polynomial) such that ϕ(0) = 1, ϕ(z)≢ 1. Let V be the operator of integration in , 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. Then ϕ(V) is power bounded if and only if ϕ’(0) < 0 and p = 2. In this case some explicit upper bounds are given for the norms of ϕ(V)ⁿ and subsequent differences between the powers. It is shown that ϕ(V) never satisfies the Ritt condition but the Kreiss condition is satisfied if and only if ϕ’(0) < 0, at least in the polynomial...
It is shown that an operator with the properties mentioned in the title does exist in the space , 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. The maximal sector for the extended resolvent condition can be prescribed a priori jointly with the corresponding order of the exponential growth of the resolvent in the complementary sector.
We investigate relations between the spectra defined by Słodkowski [14] and higher Shilov boundaries of the Taylor spectrum. The results generalize the well-known relation between the approximate point spectrum and the usual Shilov boundary.
In this paper, the general ordinary quasi-differential expression of -th order with complex coefficients and its formal adjoint on any finite number of intervals , , are considered in the setting of the direct sums of -spaces of functions defined on each of the separate intervals, and a number of results concerning the location of the point spectra and the regularity fields of general differential operators generated by such expressions are obtained. Some of these are extensions or generalizations...
