We consider the ideal structure of Steinberg algebras over a commutative ring with identity. We focus on Hausdorff groupoids that are strongly effective in the sense that their reductions to closed subspaces of their unit spaces are all…
The main result is that there are infinitely many; in fact, a continuum; of closed ideals in the Banach algebra $L(L_1)$ of bounded linear operators on $L_1(0,1)$. This answers a question from A. Pietsch's 1978 book "Operator Ideals". The…
We investigate for a bounded semigroup of linear operators $S$ on a Banach space $E$ and a vector $x \in E$, when relative compactness of $S(I-T)x$ for every $T \in S$ implies relative compactness of the orbit $Sx$. In particular, we derive…
Let A,B be complex n,n complex matrices such that AB-BA and A commute. We show that, if n=2 then A,B are simultaneously triangularizable and if n>=3 then there exists such a couple A,B such that the pair (A,B) has not property L of…
Given a tensor-triangulated category $T$, we prove that every flat tensor-idempotent in the module category over $T^c$ (the compacts) comes from a unique smashing ideal in $T$. We deduce that the lattice of smashing ideals forms a frame.
A well-known result of Walsh states that if $\mathcal T^*$ is an ideal triangulation of an atoroidal, acylindrical, irreducible, compact 3-manifold with torus boundary components, then every properly embedded, two-sided, incompressible…
This paper has two parts, on Baumslag-Solitar groups and on general G-trees. In the first part we establish bounds for stable commutator length (scl) in Baumslag-Solitar groups. For a certain class of elements, we further show that scl is…
We determine the primitive ideal space and hence the ideal lattice of a large class of separable groupoid C*-algebras that includes all 2-graph C*-algebras. A key ingredient is the notion of harmonious families of bisections in etale…
Let $A$ and $B$ be unital semisimple commutative Banach algebras and $T$ a map from the invertible group $A^{-1}$ onto $B^{-1}$. Linearity and multiplicativity of the map are not assumed. We consider the hypotheses on $T$: (1) $\sigma…
We construct a completely normal bounded distributive lattice D in which for every pair (a, b) of elements, the set {x $\in$ D | a $\le$ b $\lor$ x} has a countable coinitial subset, such that D does not carry any binary operation -…
A decorated surface S is an oriented surface with punctures and a finite set of marked points on the boundary, such that each boundary component has a marked point. We introduce ideal bipartite graphs on S. Each of them is related to a…
Let $P$ be the isotropic nearest neighbor transition operator on a homogeneous tree. We consider the $\lambda$-eigenfunctions of $P$ for $\lambda$ outside its $\ell^2$ spectrum, i.e., the eigenfunctions with eigenvalue $\gamma=\lambda - 1$…
In a previous paper the second author introduced a compact topology on the space of closed ideals of a unital Banach algebra A. If A is separable then this topology is either metrizable or else neither Hausdorff nor first countable. Here it…
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…
In addition to Pisier's counterexample of a non-accessible maximal Banach ideal, we will give a large class of maximal Banach ideals which {\it{are accessible}}. The first step is implied by the observation that a "good behaviour" of trace…
We prove that every commutative JB$^*$-triple satisfies the complex Mazur--Ulam property. Thanks to the representation theory, we can identify commutative JB$^*$-triples as spaces of complex-valued continuous functions on a principal…
On a separable C*-algebra A every (completely) bounded map, which preserves closed two sided ideals, can be approximated uniformly by elementary operators if and only if A is a finite direct sum of C*-algebras of continuous sections…
Given a number field $k$ with the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_k$ and a matrix $M\in \mathrm{M}_{n}(\mathcal{O}_k)$. We prove that if $\mathcal{O}_k$ is a principal ideal domain, the local-global principle for triangularizability and…
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…
For positive $C_0$-semigroups $S$ and $T$ on a Banach lattice such that $S(t) \le T(t)$ for all times $t$, we prove that analyticity of $T$ implies analyticity of $S$. This answers an open problem posed by Arendt in 2004. Our proof is based…
