We investigate some subtle and interesting phenomena in the duality theory of operator spaces and operator algebras. In particular, we give several applications of operator space theory, based on the surprising fact that certain maps are…

The first representation theorem establishes a correspondence between positive, self-adjoint operators and closed, positive forms on Hilbert spaces. The aim of this paper is to show that some of the results remain true if the underlying…

Real linear operators between two complex Banach spaces unify naturally two important classes of linear operators and antilinear operators. We give a survey of basic geometric, spectral and duality properties of real linear operators. The…

Let $A$ and $X$ be Banach algebras and let $X$ be an algebraic Banach $A-$module. Then the $\ell^1-$direct sum $A\times X$ equipped with the multiplication $$(a,x)(b,y)=(ab, ay+xb+xy)\quad (a,b\in A, x,y\in X)$$ is a Banach algebra, denoted…

Motivated by a question of Vincent Lafforgue, we study the Banach spaces $X$ satisfying the following property: there is a function $\vp\to \Delta_X(\vp)$ tending to zero with $\vp>0$ such that every operator $T\colon L_2\to L_2$ with…

A bounded linear operator $T$ on a Banach space $X$ is called subspace-hypercyclic if there is a subspace $M \subsetneq X$ and a vector $x \in X$ such that $orb{(x,T)} \cap M$ is dense in $M$. We show that every Banach space supports…

We extend to Banach space nest algebras the theory of essential supports and support function pairs of their bimodules, thereby obtaining Banach space counterparts of long established results for Hilbert space nest algebras. Namely, given a…

We consider the Lie algebra consisting of all derivations on the free associative algebra, generated by the first homology group of a closed oriented surface, which kill the symplectic class. We find the first non-trivial abelianization of…

A module endomorphism $f$ on an algebra $A$ is called an averaging operator if it satisfies $f(xf(y)) = f(x)f(y)$ for any $x, y\in A$. An algebra $A$ with an averaging operator $f$ is called an averaging algebra. Averaging operators have…

We show that if $X$ is a complete metric space with uniform relative normal structure and $G$ is a subgroup of the isometry group of $X$ with bounded orbits, then there is a point in $X$ fixed by every isometry in $G$. As a corollary, we…

We study infinite matrices $A$ indexed by a discrete group $G$ that are dominated by a convolution operator in the sense that $|(Ac)(x)| \leq (a \ast |c|)(x)$ for $x\in G$ and some $a\in \ell ^1(G)$. This class of "convolution-dominated"…

An averaging operator on an associative algebra $A$ is an algebraic abstraction of the time average operator on the space of real-valued functions defined in time-space. In this paper, we consider relative averaging operators on a bimodule…

This paper is concerned with derivations in algebras of (unbounded) operators affiliated with a von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$. Let $\mathcal{% A}$ be one of the algebras of measurable operators, locally measurable operators or, $\tau…

This paper surveys recent work on Lie algebras of differential operators and their application to the construction of quasi-exactly solvable Schroedinger operators.

Let U be a $\phi $-Johnson amenable Banach algebra in which $\phi$ is a non-zero multiplicative linear functional on U. Suppose that X is a Banach U-bimodule such that $a.x=\phi(a)x$ for all a in U and x in X or $x.a=\phi(a)x$ for all a in…

Let $H$ be a reflexive, dense, separable, infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space and let $B(H)$ be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H$. In this paper, we carry out characterizations of norm-attainable operators in normed…

Blecher and Read have recently introduced and studied a new notion of positivity in operator algebras, with an eye to extending certain $C^*$-algebraic results and theories to more general algebras. In the present paper we generalize some…

This paper is about the connection between certain Banach-algebraic properties of a commutative Banach algebra $E$ with unit and the associated commutative Banach algebra $C(X,E)$ of all continuous functions from a compact Hausdorff space…

We study reflexivity and structure properties of operator algebras generated by representations of the discrete Heisenberg semi-group. We show that the left regular representation of this semi-group gives rise to a semi-simple reflexive…

We study the existence of global implicit functions for equations defined on open subsets of Banach spaces. The partial derivative with respect to the second variable is only required to have a left inverse instead of being invertible.…
