In this article, we identify a suitable approach to define the character space of a commutative unital locally $C^{\ast}$-algebra via the notion of the inductive limit of topological spaces. Also, we discuss topological properties of the…

This work provides a generalization of the Gelfand duality to the context of noncommutative locally $C^*$ algebras. Using a reformulation of a theorem proven by Dauns and Hofmann in the 60's we show that every locally $C^*$ algebra can be…

The purpose of this article is to study the anti-coproximinal and strongly anti-coproximinal subspaces of the Banach space of all bounded (continuous) functions. We obtain a tractable necessary condition for a subspace to be stronsgly…

We consider the closed subspace of $\ell_\infty$ generated by $c_0$ and the characteristic functions of elements of an uncountable, almost disjoint family $\mathcal A$ of infinite subsets of $\mathbb N$. This Banach space has the form…

Given a metrizable space $Z$, denote by ${\rm PM}(Z)$ the space of continuous bounded pseudometrics on $Z$, and denote by ${\rm AM}(Z)$ the one of continuous bounded admissible metrics on $Z$, the both of which are equipped with the…

Given a topological dynamical system $\Sigma = (X, \sigma)$, where $X$ is a compact Hausdorff space and $\sigma$ a homeomorphism of $X$, we introduce the associated Banach $^*$-algebra crossed product $\ell^1 (\Sigma)$ and analyse its ideal…

We investigate the structure of the commutative Banach algebra formed as the direct sum of integrable radial functions on the disc and the radial operators on the Bergman space, endowed with the convolution from quantum harmonic analysis as…

We present a reflexive Banach space $\mathfrak{X}_{_{^\text{usm}}}$ which is Hereditarily Indecomposable and satisfies the following properties. In every subspace $Y$ of $\mathfrak{X}_{_{^\text{usm}}}$ there exists a weakly null normalized…

The purpose of this paper is devoted to studying representation of measures of non generalized compactness, in particular, measures of noncompactness, of non-weak compactness, and of non-super weak compactness, etc, defined on Banach spaces…

For a Banach space $X$ denote by $\mathcal{L}(X)$ the algebra of bounded linear operators on $X$, by $\mathcal{K}(X)$ the compact operator ideal on $X$, and by $Cal(X) = \mathcal{L}(X)/\mathcal{K}(X)$ the Calkin algebra of $X$. We prove…

Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a Banach space with a fundamental biorthogonal system and let $\mathcal{Y}$ be the dense subspace spanned by the vectors of the system. We prove that $\mathcal{Y}$ admits a $C^\infty$-smooth norm that locally depends on…

We generalise the definition of a group algebra so that it makes sense for non-locally compact topological groups, in particular, we require that the representation theory of the group algebra is isomorphic (in the sense of Gelfand-Raikov)…

We present an example in ZFC of a locally compact, scattered Hausdorff non-Gruenhage space $D$ having a $\G_delta$-diagonal. This answers a question posed by Orihuela, Troyanski and the author in a study of strictly convex norms on Banach…

We consider the action of a real linear algebraic group $G$ on a smooth, real affine algebraic variety $M\subset \R^n$, and study the corresponding left regular $G$-representation on the Banach space $C_0(M)$ of continuous, complex valued…

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…

Stone duality is an indispensable tool for the study of compact, zero-dimensional, Hausdorff spaces. In the case of general compact Hausdorff spaces one can get quite a bit of mileage by considering the `Wallman duality' between compact…

In this thesis we explore the the possibility of characterising C* algebras by their (non-isometric) Banach algebra structure alone. We introduce a property of Banach algebras, the Total Reduction Property, and conjecture that a Banach…

We study the relations between boundaries for algebras of holomorphic functions on Banach spaces and complex convexity of their balls. In addition, we show that the Shilov boundary for algebras of holomorphic functions on an order…

Let C(K) denote the Banach algebra of continuous real functions, with the supremum norm, on a compact Hausdorff space K. For two subsets of C(K), one can define their product by pointwise multiplication, just as the Minkowski sum of the…

We prove that C*-algebras which, as Banach spaces, are Grothendieck cannot be decomposed into a tensor product of two infinite-dimensional C*-algebras. By a result of Pfitzner, this class contains all von Neumann algebras and their…
