Abstract

CC^*-algebras, group algebras, and the algebra A(X)\mathcal{A}(X) of approximable operators on a Banach space XX having the bounded approximation property are known to be zero product determined. We are interested in giving a quantitative estimate of this property by finding, for each Banach algebra AA of the above classes, a constant α\alpha with the property that for every continuous bilinear functional φ ⁣:A×AC\varphi\colon A \times A\to\mathbb{C} there exists a continuous linear functional ξ\xi on AA such that supa=b=1φ(a,b)ξ(ab)αsupa=b=1,ab=0φ(a,b). \sup_{\Vert a\Vert=\Vert b\Vert=1}\vert\varphi(a,b)-\xi(ab)\vert\le \alpha\sup_{\mathclap{\substack{\Vert a\Vert=\Vert b\Vert=1, \\ ab=0}}}\vert\varphi(a,b)\vert.
