It is known that a positive commutator $C=A B - B A$ between positive operators on a Banach lattice is quasinilpotent whenever at least one of $A$ and $B$ is compact. In this paper we study the question under which conditions a positive…

In this paper we prove that a positive commutator between a positive compact operator $A$ and a positive operator $B$ is in the radical of the Banach algebra generated by $A$ and $B$. Furthermore, on every at least three-dimensional Banach…

Let $K$ be a positive compact operator on a Banach lattice. We prove that if either $[K>$ or $<K]$ is ideal irreducible then $[K>=<K]=L_+(X)\cap {K}'$. We also establish the Perron-Frobenius Theorem for such operators $K$. Finally we apply…

Let L be a Banach lattice with order continuous norm, and let S be a multiplicative semigroup of ideal-triangularizable positive compact operators on L such that, for every pair A, B in S, the atomic diagonal of the commutator AB-BA is…

Similar to the theory of finite Markov chains it is shown that in a Banach space $X$ ordered by a closed cone $K$ with nonempty interior int($K$) a power bounded positive operator $A$ with compact power such that its trajectories for…

Well-bounded operators are linear operators on a Banach space $X$ that have an $AC[a,b]$ functional calculus for some interval $[a,b]$. A well-bounded operator is of type (B) if it can be written as an integral against a spectral family of…

We consider a positive operator $A$ on a Hilbert lattice such that its self-commutator $C = A^* A - A A^*$ is positive. If $A$ is also idempotent, then it is an orthogonal projection, and so $C = 0$. Similarly, if $A$ is power compact, then…

Let $A$ be a bounded linear operator on a complex Banach space $X.$ For a given $\alpha \geq 0,$ we consider the class $\mathcal{D}_{A}^{\alpha }\left( \mathbb{R} \right) $ of all bounded linear operators $T$ on $X$ for which there exists a…

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…

Let $X,Y$ be Banach spaces, $A:X \longrightarrow Y$ and $B,C:Y \longrightarrow X$ be bounded linear operators satisfying operator equation $ABA=ACA$. Recently, as extensions of Jacobson's lemma, Corach, Duggal and Harte studied common…

We show that the symmetrized product $AB+BA$ of two positive operators $A$ and $B$ is positive if and only if $f(A+B)\leq f(A)+f(B)$ for all non-negative operator monotone functions $f$ on $[0,\infty)$ and deduce an operator inequality. We…

For a Banach algebra $A$, we say that an element $M$ in $A\otimes^\gamma A$ is a hyper-commutator if $(a\otimes 1)M=M(1\otimes a)$ for every $a\in A$. A diagonal for a Banach algebra is a hyper-commutator which its image under diagonal…

For a simple $C^*$-algebra $A$ and any other $C^*$-algebra $B$, it is proved that every closed ideal of $A \otimes^{\min} B$ is a product ideal if either $A$ is exact or $B$ is nuclear. Closed commutator of a closed ideal in a Banach…

On finite dimensional spaces, it is apparent that an operator is the product of two positive operators if and only if it is similar to a positive operator. Here, the class ${\mathcal L}^{+2}$ of bounded operators on separable infinite…

Suppose $\Cal J$ is a two-sided quasi-Banach ideal of compact operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $\Cal H$. We show that an operator $T\in\Cal J$ can be expressed as finite linear combination of commutators $[A,B]$…

Let $a$ and $b$ be elements of an ordered normed algebra $\mathcal A$ with unit $e$. Suppose that the element $a$ is positive and that for some $\varepsilon>0$ there exists an element $x\in \mathcal A$ with $\|x\|\leq \varepsilon$ such that…

In this paper we study the norm-attainment of positive operators between Banach lattices. By considering an absolute version of James boundaries, we prove that: If $E$ is a reflexive Banach lattice whose order is given by a basis and $F$ is…

In this paper we introduce a new decomposition of power-bounded operators, analogous to the Jacobs-deLeeuw-Glicksberg decomposition. This is done using so-called K\"ohler semigroups and the general theory of right topological compact…

Let X be a complex Banach space of dimension at least 2, and let S be a multiplicative semigroup of operators on X such that the rank of AB - BA is at most 1 for all pairs {A,B} in S. We prove that S has a non-trivial invariant subspace…

We consider $C$-compact orthogonally additive operators in vector lattices. After providing some examples of $C$-compact orthogonally additive operators on a vector lattice with values in a Banach space we show that the set of those…
