A completely bounded characterization of operator algebras.
Let A and B be standard operator algebras on Banach spaces X and Y, respectively. The peripheral spectrum σπ (T) of T is defined by σπ (T) = z ∈ σ(T): |z| = maxw∈σ(T) |w|. If surjective (not necessarily linear nor continuous) maps φ, ϕ: A → B satisfy σπ (φ(S)ϕ(T)) = σπ (ST) for all S; T ∈ A, then φ and ϕ are either of the form φ(T) = A 1 TA 2 −1 and ϕ(T) = A 2 TA 1 −1 for some bijective bounded linear operators A 1; A 2 of X onto Y, or of the form φ(T) = B 1 T*B 2 −1 and ϕ(T) = B 2 T*B −1 for some...
Using factorization properties of an operator ideal over a Banach space, it is shown how to embed a locally convex space from the corresponding Grothendieck space ideal into a suitable power of , thus achieving a unified treatment of several embedding theorems involving certain classes of locally convex spaces.
Using results on the reflexive algebra with two invariant subspaces, we calculate the hyperreflexivity constant for this algebra when the Hilbert space is two-dimensional. Then by the continuity of the angle for two subspaces, there exists a non-CSL hyperreflexive algebra with hyperreflexivity constant C for every C>1. This result leads to a kind of continuity for the hyperreflexivity constant.
An example of a nonzero quasinilpotent operator with reflexive commutant is presented.
A new example of a non-zero quasi-nilpotent operator T with reflexive commutant is presented. The norms converge to zero arbitrarily fast.
