A synaptic algebra is both a special Jordan algebra and a spectral order-unit normed space satisfying certain natural conditions suggested by the partially ordered Jordan algebra of bounded Hermitian operators on a Hilbert space. The…
Let R be a von Neumann algebra acting on a Hilbert space H and let R_sa be the set of selfadjoint elements of R. It is well known that R_sa is a lattice with respect to the usual partial order ≤ if and only if R is abelian. We define…
A synaptic algebra is a generalization of the Jordan algebra of selfadjoint elements of a von Neumann algebra. We study symmetries in synaptic algebras, i.e., elements whose square is the unit element, and we investigate the equivalence…
Using a representation theorem of Erik Alfsen, Frederic Schultz, and Erling Stormer for special JB-algebras, we prove that a synaptic algebra is norm complete (i.e., Banach) if and only if it is isomorphic to the self-adjoint part of a…
We show that the centre of a Dedekind complete complex Banach lattice is a commutative $\mathrm{C}^\ast$-algebra in the order unit norm. This implies that the order unit norm and the operator norm coincide. As an application of the latter,…
We extend an example of B. Aupetit, which illustrates spectral discontinuity for operators on an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, to a general spectral discontinuity result in abstract Banach algebras. This can then be used to…
Let $X$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space, let $A$ be a partially ordered algebra, and let $\pi\colon \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm c}(X)\to A$ be a positive algebra homomorphism. Under conditions on $A$ that are satisfied in a good number of…
We study Banach $\widetilde{\mathbb C}$-algebras, i.e., complete ultra-pseudo-normed algebras over the ring $\widetilde{\mathbb C}$ of Colombeau generalized complex numbers. We develop a spectral theory in such algebras. We show by explicit…
We give an example of a positive element $a$ in some ordered Banach algebra $A$ such that its spectrum is equal to $\{1\}$ and it is not greater than or equal to the unit element of $A$.
A synaptic algebra $A$ is a generalization of the self-adjoint part of a von Neumann algebra. We study a linear subspace $V$ of $A$ in regard to the question of when $V$ is a vector lattice. Our main theorem states that if $V$ contains the…
RO*-algebras are defined and studied. For RO*-algebra T, using properties of partial order, it is established that the set of bounded elements can be endowed with C*-norm. The structure of commutative subalgebras of T is considered and the…
We construct a functional model for rank one perturbations of compact normal operators acting in a certain Hilbert spaces of entire functions generalizing de Branges spaces. Using this model we study completeness and spectral synthesis…
Let $A$ be a complex semisimple Banach algebra with identity, and denote by $\sigma'(x)$ and $\rho (x)$ the nonzero spectrum and spectral radius of an element $x \in A$, respectively. We explore the relationship between elements $a, b \in…
An algebraic linear ordering is a component of the initial solution of a first-order recursion scheme over the continuous categorical algebra of countable linear orderings equipped with the sum operation and the constant 1. Due to a general…
Mitsch's natural partial order on the semigroup of binary relations is here characterised by equations in the theory of relation algebras. The natural partial order has a complex relationship with the compatible partial order of inclusion,…
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)…
We consider the relationship between derivations $d$ and $g$ of a Banach algebra $B$ that satisfy $\s(g(x)) \subseteq \s(d(x))$ for every $x\in B$, where $\s(\, . \,)$ stands for the spectrum. It turns out that in some basic situations, say…
The finite spectrum of a first-order sentence is the set of positive integers that are the sizes of its models. The class of finite spectra is known to be the same as the complexity class NE. We consider the spectra obtained by limiting…
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…
We refer to the real Jordan Banach algebra of bounded Hermitian operators on a Hilbert space as a Hermitian algebra. We define an abstract Hermitian algebra (AH-algebra) to be the directed group of an e-ring that contains a semitransparent…
