A Banach involutive algebra is called a Krein C*-algebra if there is a fundamental symmetry (an involutive automorphism of period 2) such that the C*-property is satisfied when the original involution is replaced with the new one obtained…

We consider weighted algebras of holomorphic functions on a Banach space. We determine conditions on a family of weights that assure that the corresponding weighted space is an algebra or has polynomial Schauder decompositions. We study the…

P-algebras are a non-commutative, non-associative generalization of Boolean algebras that are for quantum logic what Boolean algebras are for classical logic. P-algebras have type <X, 0, ', .> where 0 is a constant, ' is unary and . is…

We prove that finite-spectrum representations of compact quantum groups either in unital $C^*$-algebras $A$ or on Banach spaces $E$ exhibit the same Banach-space-modeled differential-geometric structure as their classical analogues: (a)…

For $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$, we prove the slice map conjecture for ideals in the operator space projective tensor product $A \hat\otimes B$. As an application, a characterization of prime ideals in the Banach $\ast$-algebra $A\hat\otimes…

For $C^{*}$-algebras $A$ and $B$, the operator space projective tensor product $A\hat{\otimes}B$ and the Banach space projective tensor product $A\otimes_{\gamma}B$ are shown to be symmetric. We also show that $A\hat{\otimes}B$ is weakly…

We provide a complete description of those Banach algebras that are generated by an invertible isometry of an $L^p$-space together with its inverse. Examples include the algebra $PF_p(\mathbb{Z})$ of $p$-pseudofunctions on $\mathbb{Z}$, the…

In the paper we investigate the joint spectra of Banach space representations of the quantum q-plane called Banach q-modules. Based on the transversality relation from the topological homology of the trivial modules versus given a left…

Let $k$ be a field. We describe necessary and sufficient conditions for a $k$-linear abelian category to be a noncommutative projective line, i.e. a noncommutative $\mathbb{P}^{1}$-bundle over a pair of division rings over $k$. As an…

We study the spectrum $M_b(U)$ of the algebra of bounded type holomorphic functions on a complete Reinhardt domain in a symmetrically regular Banach space $E$ as an analytic manifold over the bidual of the space. In the case that $U$ is the…

Let $f(\bfz,\bar\bfz)$ be a mixed polar homogeneous polynomial of $n$ variables $\bfz=(z_1,..., z_n)$. It defines a projective real algebraic variety $V:=\{[\bfz]\in \BC\BP^{n-1} | f(\bfz,\bar\bfz)=0 \}$ in the projective space…

We prove a commutative Gelfand--Naimark type theorem, by showing that the set $C_s(X)$ of continuous bounded (real or complex valued) functions with separable support on a locally separable metrizable space $X$ (provided with the supremum…

For a tuple of square complex-valued $N\times N$ matrices $A_1,\dots,A_n$ the determinant of their linear combination $x_1A_1+\cdots +x_nA_n$, which is called \textit{a pencil}, is a homogeneous polynomial of degree $N$ in $\C[x_1,...x_n]$.…

According to the von Neumann-Halperin and Lapidus theorems, in a Hilbert space the iterates of products or, respectively, of convex combinations of orthoprojections are strongly convergent. We extend these results to the iterates of convex…

We consider a Banach algebra $A$ with the property that, roughly speaking, sufficiently many irreducible representations of $A$ on nontrivial Banach spaces do not vanish on all square zero elements. The class of Banach algebras with this…

Let $p$ be a polynomial in one variable whose roots either all have multiplicity more than 1 or all have multiplicity exactly 1. It is shown that the universal $C^*$-algebra of a relation $p(x)=0$, $\|x\| \le 1$ is semiprojective. In the…

It is an open problem whether an infinite-dimensional amenable Banach algebra exists whose underlying Banach space is reflexive. We give sufficient conditions for a reflexive, amenable Banach algebra to be finite-dimensional (and thus a…

We denote by $\bbt$ the unit circle and by $\bbd$ the unit disc of $\bbc$. Let $s$ be a non-negative real and $\omega$ a weight such that $\omega(n) = (1+n)^{s} \quad (n \geq 0)$ and such that the sequence $\dsp…

A subalgebra $\mathcal{A}$ of $\mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$ is said to be projection compressible if $P\mathcal{A}P$ is an algebra for all orthogonal projections $P\in\mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$. Likewise, $\mathcal{A}$ is said to be idempotent…
