We consider weighted algebras of holomorphic functions on a Banach space. We determine conditions on a family of weights that assure that the corresponding weighted space is an algebra or has polynomial Schauder decompositions. We study the…
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 review and analyse techniques from the literature for extending a normed algebra, A to a normed algebra, B, so that B has interesting or desirable properties which A may lack. For example, B might include roots of monic polynomials over…
We investigate when the algebraic numerical range is a $C$-spectral set in a Banach algebra. While providing several counterexamples based on classical ideas as well as combinatorial Banach spaces, we discuss positive results for matrix…
In a Banach algebra, the spectrum satisfies $\sigma(ab)\setminus\{0\} = \sigma(ba)\setminus\{0\}$ for each pair of elements $a,b$. We show that this is no longer true for the exponential spectrum, thereby solving a problem open since 1992.…
We consider linear bounded operators acting in Banach spaces with a basis, such operators can be represented by an infinite matrix. We prove that for an invertible operator there exists a sequence of invertible finite-dimensional operators…
Let $\mathscr{X}$ be a complex Banach space and $\mathcal{L}(\mathscr{X})$ be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $\mathscr{X}$. For a given elementary operator $\Phi$ of length $2$ on $\mathcal{L}(\mathscr{X})$, we determine…
A Banach algebra $A$ is said to be zero Lie product determined if every continuous bilinear functional $\varphi \colon A\times A\to \mathbb{C}$ satisfying $\varphi(a,b)=0$ whenever $ab=ba$ is of the form $\varphi(a,b)=\omega(ab-ba)$ for…
We consider a Banach algebra $A$ with the property that, roughly speaking, sufficiently many irreducible representations of $A$ on nontrivial Banach spaces do not vanish on all square zero elements. The class of Banach algebras with this…
We study linear and algebraic structures in sets of bounded holomorphic functions on the ball which have large cluster sets at every possible point (i.e., every point on the sphere in several complex variables and every point of the closed…
We prove that the resolvent of a linear operator pencil is analytic on an open annulus if and only if the coefficients of the Laurent series satisfy a system of fundamental equations and are geometrically bounded. Our analysis extends…
We furnish a simple way of constructing an unbounded closed linear operator in a complex Banach space, whose spectrum is an arbitrary nonempty closed, in particular compact, subset of the complex plane.
Motivated by recent work about band projections on spaces of regular operators over a Banach lattice, given a Banach lattice algebra $A$, we will say an element $a \in A_+$ is a band projection if the multiplication operator $L_aR_a\in…
The concept of logarithmic representation of infinitesimal generators is introduced, and it is applied to clarify the algebraic structure of bounded and unbounded infinitesimal generators. In particular, by means of the logarithmic…
Let \(\mathcal{A}\) be a unital Banach algebra such that any Jordan derivation from \(\mathcal{A}\) into any \(\mathcal{A}\)-bimodule \(\mathcal{M}\) is a derivation. We prove that any 2-local derivation from the algebra $M_n(\mathcal{A})$…
A subalgebra $\mathcal{A}$ of a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{M}$ is logmodular (resp. has factorization) if the set $\{a^*a; a\text{ is invertible with }a,a^{-1}\in\mathcal{A}\}$ is dense in (resp. equal to) the set of all positive and…
A well-known theorem due to R. C. James states that a Banach space is reflexive if and only if every bounded linear functional attains its norm. In this note we study Banach lattices on which every (real-valued) lattice homomorphism attains…
We study the differential structure of the set of real logarithms of a non-singular real matrix, under the assumption that the matrix is either semi-simple or orthogonal.
Let $A$ be a complex, commutative unital Banach algebra. We introduce two notions of exponential reducibility of Banach algebra tuples and present an analogue to the Corach-Su\'arez result on the connection between reducibility in $A$ and…
In this paper, we present new presentations of group inverse for the sum of two group invertible elements in a Banach algebra. We then apply these results to block complex matrices. The group invertibility of certain block complex matrices…
