Double multipliers on topological algebras.
We define a spectrum for Lipschitz continuous nonlinear operators in Banach spaces by means of a certain kind of "pseudo-adjoint" and study some of its properties.
It is well known that a power of a right invertible operator is again right invertible, as well as a polynomial in a right invertible operator under appropriate assumptions. However, a linear combination of right invertible operators (in particular, their sum and/or difference) in general is not right invertible. It will be shown how to solve equations with linear combinations of right invertible operators in commutative algebras using properties of logarithmic and antilogarithmic mappings. The...
The relationships between the JB*-triple structure of a complex spin factor S and the structure of the Hilbert space H associated to S are discussed. Every surjective linear isometry L of S can be uniquely represented in the form L(x) = mu.U(x) for some conjugation commuting unitary operator U on H and some mu belonging to C, |mu|=1. Automorphisms of S are characterized as those linear maps (continuity not assumed) that preserve minimal tripotents in S and the orthogonality relations among them.
The class of J-lattices was defined in the second author’s thesis. A subspace lattice on a Banach space X which is also a J-lattice is called a J- subspace lattice, abbreviated JSL. Every atomic Boolean subspace lattice, abbreviated ABSL, is a JSL. Any commutative JSL on Hilbert space, as well as any JSL on finite-dimensional space, is an ABSL. For any JSL ℒ both LatAlg ℒ and (on reflexive space) are JSL’s. Those families of subspaces which arise as the set of atoms of some JSL on X are characterised...
