Let $E$ be one of the spaces $C(K)$ and $L_1$, $F$ be an arbitrary Banach space, $p>1,$ and $(X,\sigma)$ be a space with a finite measure. We prove that $E$ is isometric to a subspace of the Lebesgue-Bochner space $L_p(X;F)$ only if $E$ is…

In connection with Rokhlin's question on an automorphism with a homogeneous nonsimple spectrum, we indicate a class of measure-preserving maps $T$ such that $T\times T$ has a homogeneous spectrum of multiplicity 2. The automorphisms in…

An operator $T \in \mathcal{B}(X)$ defined on a Banach space $X$ satisfies property $(gb)$ if the complement in the approximate point spectrum $\sigma_{a}(T)$ of the upper semi-B-Weyl spectrum $\sigma_{SBF_{+}^{-}}(T)$ coincides with the…

We study the polynomial algebra (over a ring containing the rationals) in an n by m matrix of variables, and subject to the relation that says that the product of any two variables in the same column is zero. We show that the sub-algebra of…

Sylvester equations $AX-XB=C$ have unique solutions for all $C$ when the spectra of $A$ and $B$ are disjoint. Here $A$ and $B$ are bounded operators in Banach spaces. We discuss the existence of polynomials $p$ such that the spectra of…

We introduce a polynomial invariant of graphs on surfaces, $P_G$, generalizing the classical Tutte polynomial. Topological duality on surfaces gives rise to a natural duality result for $P_G$, analogous to the duality for the Tutte…

Let $A$ be an algebra and let $f$ be a nonconstant noncommutative polynomial. In the first part of the paper, we consider the relationship between $[A,A]$, the linear span of commutators in $A$, and span$f(A)$, the linear span of the image…

We revisit the old result that biflat Banach algebras have the same cyclic cohomology as $\mathbb C$, and obtain a quantitative variant (which is needed in forthcoming joint work of the author). Our approach does not rely on the…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $\omega$ be a continuous weight on $G$. In this paper, we first characterize bicontinuous biseparating algebra isomorphisms between weighted $L^p$-algebras. As a result we extend previous results of…

This paper presents a systematic study for abstract harmonic analysis on classical Banach spaces of covariant functions of characters of compact subgroups. Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $H$ be a compact subgroup of $G$. Suppose…

In this paper, we construct the abstract ideal of polynomials. We show this is an ideal of Banach and, in a second moment, we explore the question of the coherence and compatibility of the pair composed by the abstract ideals of polynomials…

We introduce the notion of P-polynomial coherent configurations and show that they can have at most two fibres. We then introduce a class of two-fibre coherent configurations which have two distinguished bases for the coherent algebra,…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $p,q\in \mathbb{R}$ with $p>1$ $p\not=2$ and $q$ between $2$ and $p$ (if $p<2$ then $p<q<2$, if $p>2$ then $2<q<p.$) The main result of the paper is that $A_q(G)$ multiplies $A_p(G)$, more precisely we…

We give an example of a unital commutative complex Banach algebra having a normalized state which is not a spectral state and admitting an extreme normalized state which is not multiplicative. This disproves two results by Golfarshchi and…

Let $f,g:X \to Y$ be continuous mappings. We say that $f$ is topologically equivalent to $g$ if there exist homeomorphisms $\Phi : X\to X$ and $\Psi: Y\to Y$ such that $\Psi\circ f\circ \Phi=g.$ Let $X,Y$ be complex smooth irreducible…

Let $BV_p[0,1]$, $1\le p<\infty$, be the Banach algebra of functions of bounded $p$-variation in the sense of Wiener. Recently, Kowalczyk and Turowska \cite{KT19} proved that the multiplication in $BV_1[0,1]$ is an open bilinear mapping. We…

In this paper we construct an injection from the linear space of trigonometric polynomials defined on $\mathbb{T}^d$ with bounded degrees with respect to each variable to a suitable linear subspace $L^1_E\subset L^1(\mathbb{T})$. We give…

A recent paper of Shemesh shows triangularizability of a pair $\{A, B\}$ of complex matrices satisfying the condition $A [A,B]=[A,B] B=0$, or equivalently, the matrices $A$ and $B$ commute with their product $A B$. In this paper we extend…

We give a complete description of homomorphisms between two Banach algebras of Lipschitz functions with values in continuous functions. We also characterize the compactness of those homomorphisms.

The Tutte polynomial is a classical invariant, important in combinatorics and statistical mechanics. An essential feature of the Tutte polynomial is the duality for planar graphs G, $T_G(X,Y)\; =\; {T}_{G^*}(Y,X)$ where $G^*$ denotes the…
