A Banach algebra $A$ is said to be a zero Jordan product determined Banach algebra if every continuous bilinear map $\varphi\colon A\times A\to X$, where $X$ is an arbitrary Banach space, which satisfies $\varphi(a,b)=0$ whenever $a$, $b\in…

It is not hard to find many complete bipartite graphs which are not determined by their spectra. We show that the graph obtained by deleting an edge from a complete bipartite graph is determined by its spectrum. We provide some graphs, each…

This paper discusses spectral synthesis for those modulation spaces $M^{p,q}_s({\mathbf R}^n)$ which form Banach algebras under pointwise multiplication. An important argument will be the ``ideal theory for Segal algebras'' by H. Reiter…

Given a Banach algebra $ \mathcal{A} $ and a continuous homomorphism $\sigma$ on it, the notion of $\sigma$-biflatness for $ \mathcal{A} $ is introduced. This is a generalization of biflatness and it is shown that they are distinct. The…

Let $A$ be a commutative Banach algebra and $X$ be a compact space. The class of Banach $A$-valued function algebras on $X$ consists of subalgebras of $C(X,A)$ with certain properties. We introduce the notion of $A$-characters on an…

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…

We introduce and study procedures and constructions in the theory of the joint spectral radius that are related to the spectral theory. In particular we devlop the theory of the scattered radical. Among applications we find some sufficient…

Let $X$ be a Banach space, $A\in B(X)$ and $M$ be an invariant subspace of $A$. We present an alternative proof that, if the spectrum of the restriction of $A$ to $M$ contains a point that is in any given hole in the spectrum of $A$, then…

Let $\{A_{i,n}\}$ be a triangular array of elements in a Banach algebra, whose norms do not grow too fast, and whose row averages converge to $A$. Let $\sigma \in S(n)$ be a permutation drawn uniformly at random. If the array only contains…

Developed in 1999 by Akemann, Anderson, and Weaver, the spectral scale of an $n\times n$ matrix $A$, is a convex, compact subset of $\mathbb{R}^3$ that reveals important spectral information about $A$ \cite{AAW}. In this paper we present…

Answering a question of Hegyv\'ari and Ruzsa , we show that if A is a set of integers having positive upper Banach density, then the set A+A-A:= {a+b-c: a, b, c are in A} contains Bohr neighborhoods of many elements of A, where the radius…

We introduce the numerical spectrum $\sigma_n(A)\subset \mathbb{C}$ of an (unbounded) linear operator $A$ on a Banach space $X$ and study its properties. Our definition is closely related to the numerical range $W(A)$ of $A$ and always…

Let $\mathcal A$ be a Banach algebra. Using the concept of module biflatness, we show that the module amenability of the second dual $\mathcal A^{**}$ (with the first Arens product) necessitates the module amenability of $\mathcal A$. We…

Let $\A$ and $\B$ be unital Banach algebras and $\phi\colon\A\to\B$ be a unital continuous homomorphism. We prove that if $\phi$ is relatively spectral (i.e., there is a dense subalgebra $X$ of $\A$ such that $\sp_\B(\phi(a))=\sp_\A(a)$ for…

Suppose that A and B are unital Banach algebras with units 1_A and 1_B, respectively, M is a unital Banach A-B-bimodule, T=Tri(A,M,B) is the triangular Banach algebra, X is a unital T-bimodule, X_{AA}=1_AX1_A, X_{BB}=1_BX1_B, X_{AB}=1_AX1_B…

A set $\Omega$ in a locally compact abelian group is called spectral if $L^2(\Omega)$ has an orthogonal basis of group characters. An important problem, connected with the so-called Spectral Set Conjecture (saying that $\Omega$ is spectral…

We establish spectral inclusion and mapping theorems for scalar type spectral operators, generalizing their counterparts for normal operators. Thereby, we extend a precise weak spectral mapping theorem, known to hold for $C_0$-semigroups of…

We prove that every isometry between two combinatorial spaces is determined by a permutation of the canonical unit basis combined with a change of signs. As a consequence, we show that in the case of Schreier spaces, all the isometries are…

We describe a general technique to study Dirac operators on noncommutative spaces under some additional assumptions. The main idea is to capture the compact resolvent condition in a combinatorial set up. Using this, we then prove that for a…

The following topics are presented in these notes: Elements of Banach algebras, Banach algebras of the form $L^1(G)$, where $G$ is a locally compact group, spectrum of elements of Banach algebras, the spectral theory of compact operators on…
