Extreme points of numerical ranges of quasihyponormal operators
A Banach space X is said to be an extremely non-complex space if the norm equality ∥Id +T 2∥ = 1+∥T 2∥ holds for every bounded linear operator T on X. We show that every extremely non-complex Banach space has positive numerical index, it does not have an unconditional basis and that the infimum of diameters of the slices of its unit ball is positive.
For a given linear operator L on with ∥L∥ = 1 and L(1) = 1, a notion of limit, called the L-limit, is defined for bounded sequences in a normed linear space X. In the case where L is the left shift operator on and , the definition of L-limit reduces to Lorentz’s definition of σ-limit, which is described by means of Banach limits on . We discuss some properties of L-limits, characterize reflexive spaces in terms of existence of L-limits of bounded sequences, and formulate a version of the abstract...
Dans une algèbre de Banach et dans deux cas particuliers, nous montrons la continuité du centre du plus petit disque contenant le spectre. Pour a ∈ , on donne une condition nécessaire et suffisante pour avoir où d(a) est la distance de a aux scalaires et le rayon du plus petit disque contenant K qui représente le spectre ou le domaine numérique algébrique de a. Dans un espace de Hilbert complexe, K peut représenter certains types de spectres ou de domaines numériques de a.
Let ₁, ₂ be (not necessarily unital or closed) standard operator algebras on locally convex spaces X₁, X₂, respectively. For k ≥ 2, consider different products on elements in , which covers the usual product and the Jordan triple product T₁ ∗ T₂ = T₂T₁T₂. Let Φ: ₁ → ₂ be a (not necessarily linear) map satisfying whenever any one of ’s has rank at most one. It is shown that if the range of Φ contains all rank one and rank two operators then Φ must be a Jordan isomorphism multiplied by a root...
We characterize surjective nonlinear maps Φ between unital C*-algebras 𝒜 and ℬ that satisfy w(Φ(A)-Φ(B))) = w(A-B) for all A,B ∈ 𝒜 under a mild condition that Φ(I) - Φ(0) belongs to the center of ℬ, where w(A) is the numerical radius of A and I is the unit of 𝒜.
A theorem of Rudin permits us to determine minimal projections not only with respect to the operator norm but with respect to various norms on operator ideals and with respect to numerical radius. We prove a general result about N-minimal projections where N is a convex and lower semicontinuous (with respect to the strong operator topology) function and give specific examples for the cases of norms or seminorms of p-summing, p-integral and p-nuclear operator ideals.
In this note we discuss some results on numerical radius attaining operators paralleling earlier results on norm attaining operators. For arbitrary Banach spaces X and Y, the set of (bounded, linear) operators from X to Y whose adjoints attain their norms is norm-dense in the space of all operators. This theorem, due to W. Zizler, improves an earlier result by J. Lindenstrauss on the denseness of operators whose second adjoints attain their norms, and is also related to a recent result by C. Stegall...
We prove numerical radius inequalities for products, commutators, anticommutators, and sums of Hilbert space operators. A spectral radius inequality for sums of commuting operators is also given. Our results improve earlier well-known results.
