A Banach space X is said to have the weak λ-bounded approximation property if for every separable reflexive Banach space Y and for every compact operator T : X → Y, there exists a net (Sα) of finite-rank operators on X such that supα ||TSα|| ≤ λ||T|| and Sα → IX uniformly on compact subsets of X.We prove the following theorem. Let X** or Y* have the Radon-Nikodym property; if X has the weak λ-bounded approximation property, then for every bounded linear operator T: X → Y, there exists a net (Sα)...

We show that every Jordan isomorphism between CSL algebras is the sum of an isomorphism and an anti-isomorphism. Also we show that each Jordan derivation of a CSL algebra is a derivation.

The aim of this paper is to prove the statement announced in the title which can be reformulated in the following way. Let H be a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space and let Φ: B(H) → B(H) be a continuous linear mapping with the property that for every A ∈ B(H) there exists a sequence $\left({\Phi }_n\right)$ of automorphisms of B(H) (depending on A) such that $\Phi \left(A\right)=li{m}_n{\Phi }_n\left(A\right)$. Then Φ is an automorphism. Moreover, a similar statement holds for the set of all surjective isometries of B(H).

Let G be a locally compact group, let (φ,ψ) be a complementary pair of Young functions, and let $L^{\phi }\left(G\right)$ and $L^{\psi }\left(G\right)$ be the corresponding Orlicz spaces. Under some conditions on φ, we will show that for a Banach $L^{\phi }\left(G\right)$-submodule X of $L^{\psi }\left(G\right)$, the multiplier space $Ho{m}_{L^{\phi }\left(G\right)}(L^{\phi }\left(G\right),X*)$ is a dual Banach space with predual $L^{\phi }\left(G\right)\bullet X:=\overline{span}ux:u\in L^{\phi }\left(G\right),x\in X$, where the closure is taken in the dual space of $Ho{m}_{L^{\phi }\left(G\right)}(L^{\phi }\left(G\right),X*)$. We also prove that if $\phi$ is a Δ₂-regular N-function, then $C{v}_{\phi }\left(G\right)$, the space of convolutors of $M^{\phi }\left(G\right)$, is identified with the dual of a Banach algebra of functions on G under pointwise...

We show that every spectrally bounded linear map Φ from a Banach algebra onto a standard operator algebra acting on a complex Banach space is square-zero preserving. This result is used to show that if Φ₂ is spectrally bounded, then Φ is a homomorphism multiplied by a nonzero complex number. As another application to the Hilbert space case, a classification theorem is obtained which states that every spectrally bounded linear bijection Φ from ℬ(H) onto ℬ(K), where H and K are infinite-dimensional...

The aim of this paper is to use an abstract realization of the Weyl correspondence to define functions of pseudo-differential operators. We consider operators that form a self-adjoint Banach algebra. We construct on this algebra a functional calculus with respect to functions which are defined on the Euclidean space and have a finite number of derivatives.

We prove that the spaces of (α,β)-derivations on certain operator algebras are topologically reflexive in the weak operator topology. Characterizations of automorphisms and (α,β)-derivations on reflexive algebras are also given.

Let be an operator ideal on LCS’s. A continuous seminorm p of a LCS X is said to be - continuous if $Q{̃}_p{\in }^{inj}(X,X{̃}_p)$, where $X{̃}_p$ is the completion of the normed space $X_p=X/p^{-1}\left(0\right)$ and $Q{̃}_p$ is the canonical map. p is said to be a Groth()- seminorm if there is a continuous seminorm q of X such that p ≤ q and the canonical map $Q{̃}_{pq}:X{̃}_q\to X{̃}_p$ belongs to $(X{̃}_q,X{̃}_p)$. It is well known that when is the ideal of absolutely summing (resp. precompact, weakly compact) operators, a LCS X is a nuclear (resp. Schwartz, infra-Schwartz) space if and only if every continuous...
