A Banach algebra A is self-induced if the multiplication is an isomorphism from the A-balanced projective tensor-square of A to A. The class of self-induced Banach algebras is a natural generalization of unital Banach algebras, providing a…

Hecke algebras are beautiful q-extensions of Coxeter groups. In this paper, we prove several results on their characters, with an emphasis on characters induced from trivial and sign representations of parabolic subalgebras. While most of…

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra. By $\sigma(x)$ and $r(x)$ we denote the spectrum and the spectral radius of $x\in A$, respectively. We consider the relationship between elements $a,b\in A$ that satisfy one of the following two conditions: (1)…

For a tuple $A=(A_0, A_1, ..., A_n)$ of elements in a unital Banach algebra ${\mathcal B}$, its {\em projective spectrum} $p(A)$ is defined to be the collection of $z=[z_0, z_1, ..., z_n]\in \pn$ such that $A(z)=z_0A_0+z_1A_1+... +z_nA_n$…

Vector products can be defined on spaces of dimensions 0, 1, 3 and 7 only, and their isomorphism types are determined entirely by their adherent symmetric bilinear forms. We present a short and elementary proof for this classical result.

An n-dimensional complex manifold is a manifold by biholomorphic mappings between open sets of the finite direct product of the complex number field. On the other hand, when A is a commutative Banach algebra, Lorch gave a definition that an…

Let $X$ be a smooth compact manifold and $v$ a vector field on $X$ which admits a smooth function $f: X \to \mathbf R$ such that $df(v) > 0$. Let $\partial X$ be the boundary of $X$. We denote by $C^\infty(X)$ the algebra of smooth…

For a nonempty topological space X, the ring of all real-valued functions on $X$ with pointwise addition and multiplication is denoted by $F(X)$ and continuous members of $F(X)$ is denoted by $C(X)$. Let $A(X)$ be a subring of $F(X)$ and…

UNIFORM algebras have been extensively investigated because of their importance in the theory of uniform approximation and as examples of complex Banach algebras. An interesting question is whether analogous algebras exist when a complete…

It is one of the remarkable results of vertex operator algebras (VOAs) that the graded traces (one-point correlation functions) of holomorphic VOAs are modular functions. This paper explores the question of which modular functions arise as…

We show that a unital involutive Banach algebra, with identity of norm one and continuous involution, is a C*-algebra, with the given involution and norm, if every continuous linear functional attaining its norm at the identity is positive.

A topological space $X$ is called $\Cal A$-real compact, if every algebra homomorphism from $\Cal A$ to the reals is an evaluation at some point of $X$, where $\Cal A$ is an algebra of continuous functions. Our main interest lies on…
