Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be two algebras, let $\mathcal{M}$ be a $\mathcal{B}$-bimodule and let $n$ be a positive integer. A linear mapping $D_n:\mathcal{A} \rightarrow \mathcal{M}$ is called a strongly generalized derivation of…

Let $A$, $B$ be Banach $D$-algebras. The map $f:A\rightarrow B$ is called differentiable on the set $U\subset A$, if at every point $x\in U$ the increment of map $f$ can be represented as $$f(x+dx)-f(x) =\frac{d f(x)}{d x}\circ dx +o(dx)$$…

In this article, we extend a well known result about real rank zero C* Algebras to higher real rank C* Algebras. The main technique used here is similar to the method in which we approximate continuous functions using projections. What we…

Let $B$ be a Banach algebra. The interest of this article lies in the study of the commutativity of B if certain specific algebraic identities hold over a non-empty open subset of B. The limitations imposed in the hypothesis of our results…

A classification is given of certain separable nuclear C*-algebras not necessarily of real rank zero, namely, the class of separable simple C*-algebras which are inductive limits of continuous-trace C*-algebras whose building blocks have…

Let $A$ be a C$^*$-algebra and let $D$ be a Cartan subalgebra of $A$. We study the following question: if $B$ is a C$^*$-algebra such that $D \subseteq B \subseteq A$, is $D$ a Cartan subalgebra of $B$? We give a positive answer in two…

We prove that every 2-local derivation from the algebra $M_n(\mathcal{A})(n>2)$ into its bimodule $M_n(\mathcal{M})$ is a derivation, where $\mathcal{A}$ is a unital Banach algebra and $\mathcal{M}$ is a unital $\mathcal{A}$-bimodule such…

In this paper we study derivations in subalgebras of $L_{0}^{wo}(\nu ;% \mathcal{L}(X)) $, the algebra of all weak operator measurable funtions $f:S\to \mathcal{L}(X) $, where $% \mathcal{L}(X) $ is the Banach algebra of all bounded linear…

Let $L$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space. Suppose $A$ is a C$^*$-algebra with the property that every weak-2-local derivation on $A$ is a {\rm(}linear{\rm)} derivation. We prove that every weak-2-local derivation on $C_0(L,A)$ is a…

Let $A$ be a complex unital Banach algebra. Using a connection between the spectral distance and the growth characteristics of a certain entire map into $A$, we derive a generalization of Gelfand's famous Power Boundedness Theorem.…

We define the notion of strong spectral invariance for a dense Frechet subalgebra A of a Banach algebra B. We show that if A is strongly spectral invariant in a C*-algebra B, and G is a compactly generated polynomial growth Type R Lie…

Every differential subalgebra of a unital $C^*$-algebra is spectrally invariant. We derive a quantitative version of this well-known fact and show that a minimal amount of smoothness, as given by a differential norm, already implies norm…

We consider problems associated with the computation of spectra of self-adjoint operators in terms of the eigenvalue distributions of their n x n sections. Under rather general circumstances, we show how these eigenvalues accumulate near…

In this note we extend the spectral theorem for bimodules to the higher rank graph C*-algebra context. Under the assumption that the graph is row finite and has no sources, we show that a bimodule over a natural abelian subalgebra is…

We introduce the notion of eigenstate of an operator in an abstract C*-algebra, and prove several properties. Most significantly, if the operator is self-adjoint, then every element of its spectrum has a corresponding eigenstate.

We identify a class of smooth Banach *-algebras that are differential subalgebras of commutative C*-algebras whose openness of multiplication is completely determined by the topological stable rank of the target C*-algebra. We then show…

In this note we collect some significant contributions on metric invariants for complex Banach algebras and Jordan--Banach algebras established during the last fifteen years. This note is mainly expository, but it also contains complete…

We give an example of a dense, simple, unital Banach subalgebra $A$ of the irrational rotation C*-algebra $B$, such that $A$ is not a spectral subalgebra of $B$. This answers a question posed in T.W. Palmer's paper [1].

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra. We call a pair $(G, B)$ a Gelfand theory for $A$ if the following axioms are satisfied: (G 1) $B$ is a $C^\ast$-algebra, and $G : A \to B$ is a homomorphism; (G 2) the assignment $L \mapsto G^{-1}(L)$ is a…
