Automatic continuity of operational calculi on algebras of differentiable functions
Given a Banach algebra ℱ of complex-valued functions and a closed, linear (possibly unbounded) densely defined operator A, on a Banach space, with an ℱ functional calculus we present two ways of extending this functional calculus to a much larger class of functions with little or no growth conditions. We apply this to spectral operators of scalar type, generators of bounded strongly continuous groups and operators whose resolvent set contains a half-line. For f in this larger class, one construction...
Let S be a locally compact (σ-compact) group or semigroup, and let T(t) be a continuous representation of S by contractions in a Banach space X. For a regular probability μ on S, we study the convergence of the powers of the μ-average Ux = ʃ T(t)xdμ(t). Our main results for random walks on a group G are: (i) The following are equivalent for an adapted regular probability on G: μ is strictly aperiodic; converges weakly for every continuous unitary representation of G; U is weakly mixing for any...
The Weyl criterion for uniform distribution of a sequence has an especially simple form in compact abelian groups. The authors use this and the structure of compact monothetic groups and semigroups to generalise the convergence, under certain compactness conditions, of the operator averages: where P is a projection associated with the eigenvalue one of T.
We study the stability of a-Weyl's theorem under perturbations by operators in some known classes. We establish in particular that if T is a finite a-isoloid operator, then a-Weyl's theorem is transmitted from T to T + R for every Riesz operator R commuting with T.
In the present paper, we study a-Weyl's and a-Browder's theorem for an operator T such that T or T* satisfies the single valued extension property (SVEP). We establish that if T* has the SVEP, then T obeys a-Weyl's theorem if and only if it obeys Weyl's theorem. Further, if T or T* has the SVEP, we show that the spectral mapping theorem holds for the essential approximative point spectrum, and that a-Browder's theorem is satisfied by f(T) whenever f ∈ H(σ(T)). We also provide several conditions...
We introduce and study the notions of upper and lower semiregularities in Banach algebras. These notions generalize the previously studied notion of regularity - a class is a regularity if and only if it is both upper and lower semiregularity. Each semiregularity defines in a natural way a spectrum which satisfies a one-way spectral mapping property (the spectrum defined by a regularity satisfies the both-ways spectral mapping property).
Let X, Y be Banach spaces, S: X → Y and R: Y → X be bounded operators. We investigate common spectral properties of RS and SR. We then apply the result obtained to extensions, Aluthge transforms and upper triangular operator matrices.
Let R and S be two operators on a Hilbert space. We discuss the link between the subscalarity of RS and SR. As an application, we show that backward Aluthge iterates of hyponormal operators and p-quasihyponormal operators are subscalar.
We establish a non-commutative analog of the classical Banach Principle on the almost everywhere convergence of sequences of measurable functions. The result is stated in terms of quasi-uniform (or almost uniform) convergence of sequences of measurable (with respect to a trace) operators affiliated with a semifinite von Neumann algebra. Then we discuss possible applications of this result.
Let X be a Banach space. Let 𝓐(X) be a closed ideal in the algebra ℒ(X) of the operators acting on X. We say that ℒ(X)/𝓐(X) is a Calkin algebra whenever the Fredholm operators on X coincide with the operators whose class in ℒ(X)/𝓐(X) is invertible. Among other examples, we have the cases in which 𝓐(X) is the ideal of compact, strictly singular, strictly cosingular and inessential operators, and some other ideals introduced as perturbation classes in Fredholm theory. Our aim is to present some...
Using axiomatic joint spectra we obtain a functional calculus which extends our previous Gelfand-Waelbroeck type results to include a Banach-valued Taylor-Waelbroeck spectrum.
