Given any square matrix or a bounded operator $A$ in a Hilbert space such that $p(A)$ is normal (or similar to normal), we construct a Banach algebra, depending on the polynomial $p$, for which a simple functional calculus holds. When the…

We examine the condition that a complex Banach algebra $A$ have dense invertible group. We show that, for commutative algebras, this property is preserved by integral extensions. We also investigate the connections with an old problem in…

Let $A$ be a complex Banach algebra. If the spectrum of an invertible element $a\in A$ does not separate the plane, then $a$ admits a logarithm. We present two elementary proofs of this classical result which are independent of the…

We present new additive results for the pseudo core inverse in a Banach algebra with involution. The necessary and sufficient conditions under which the sum of two pseudo core invertible elements in Banach *-algebra is pseudo core…

Let $A$ be a complex, commutative unital Banach algebra. We introduce two notions of exponential reducibility of Banach algebra tuples and present an analogue to the Corach-Su\'arez result on the connection between reducibility in $A$ and…

For a tuple $A=(A_0, A_1, ..., A_n)$ of elements in a unital Banach algebra ${\mathcal B}$, its {\em projective spectrum} $p(A)$ is defined to be the collection of $z=[z_0, z_1, ..., z_n]\in \pn$ such that $A(z)=z_0A_0+z_1A_1+... +z_nA_n$…

We provide two examples of complex homogeneous quadratic polynomials P on Banach spaces of the form l_1(I). The first polynomial P has both separable and nonseparable maximal zero subspaces. The second polynomial P has the property that…

We review and analyse techniques from the literature for extending a normed algebra, A to a normed algebra, B, so that B has interesting or desirable properties which A may lack. For example, B might include roots of monic polynomials over…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a complex Banach algebra. An element $a\in \mathcal{A}$ has g-Drazin inverse if there exists $b\in \mathcal{A}$ such that $$b=bab, ab=ba, a-a^2b\in \mathcal{A}^{qnil}.$$ Let $a,b\in \mathcal{A}$ have g-Drazin inverses.…

In this paper, we introduce $p$-amenability, bounded $s$-symmetric approximate and $s$-symmetric virtual diagonals for a Banach algebra $\mathfrak{A}$ where $s$ is a non-zero element of algebraic center of $\mathfrak{A}$ that is denoted by…

This is an expository note on non-amenabilty of the Banach algebra B(\ell_p) for p=1,2. These were proved respectively by Connes (p=2) and Read (p=1) via very different methods. We give a single proof which reproves both.

In this paper, we begin by introducing some necessary and sufficient conditions for generalized $n$-strong Drazin invertibility (g$n$s-invertibility) and pseudo $n$-strong Drazin invertibility (p$n$s-invertibility) of an element in a Banach…

This article gives a new proof of the fundamental lemma of the "weakly admissible implies admissible" theorem of Colmez-Fontaine that describes the semi-stable p-adic representations. To this end, we introduce the category of spectral…

We prove that no separable Banach algebra is universal for homomorphic embeddings of all separable Banach algebras, whether embeddings are merely bounded or required to be contractive. The same holds in the commutative category. The proof…

Consider the polynomial ring in any finite number of variables over the complex numbers, endowed with the $\ell_1$-norm on the system of coefficients. Its completion is the Banach algebra of power series that converge absolutely on the…

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…

A dual Banach algebra is a Banach algebra which is a dual space, with the multiplication being separately weak$^*$-continuous. We show that given a unital dual Banach algebra $\mc A$, we can find a reflexive Banach space $E$, and an…

We extend a p-adic spectral theorem of M. M. Vishik to a certain class of p-adic Banach algebras. This class includes inductive limits of finite-dimensional p-adic Banach algebras of the form B(X), where X is a finite-dimensional p-adic…

We prove that lemniscates (i.e., sets of the form $|P(z)|=1$ where $P$ is a complex polynomial) are irreducible real algebraic curves.

We treat the following "polynomial moment problem": for a complex polynomial P(z) and distinct complex numbers a,b such that P(a)=P(b) to describe polynomials q(z)=Q'(z) orthogonal to all degrees of P(z) on the segment [a,b]. We show that…
