Nuclear $C^*$-algebras having a system of completely positive approximations formed with convex combinations of a uniformly bounded number of order zero summands are shown to be approximately finite dimensional.

Let $K$ be an absolutely convex infinite-dimensional compact in a Banach space $\mathcal{X}$. The set of all bounded linear operators $T$ on $\mathcal{X}$ satisfying $TK\supset K$ is denoted by $G(K)$. Our starting point is the study of the…

For a linear operator $T$ in a Banach space let $\sigma_p(T)$ denote the point spectrum of $T$, $\sigma_{p[n]}(T)$ for finite $n > 0$ be the set of all $\lambda \in \sigma_p(T)$ such that $\dim \ker (T - \lambda) = n$ and let…

For locally convex vector spaces (l.c.v.s.) $E$ and $F$ and for linear and continuous operator $T: E \rightarrow F$ and for an absolutely convex neighborhood $V$ of zero in $F$, a bounded subset $B$ of $E$ is said to be $T$-V-dentable…

We consider a class of tridiagonal operators induced by not necessary pseudoergodic biinfinite sequences. Using only elementary techniques we prove that the numerical range of such operators is contained in the convex hull of the union of…

A regular operator T on a Hilbert C^*-module is defined just like a closed operator on a Hilbert space, with the extra condition that the range of (I+T^*T) is dense. Semiregular operators are a slightly larger class of operators that may…

An operator $T\in B(H)$ is said to satisfy property ($UW${\scriptsize \it{E}}) if the complement in the approximate point spectrum of the essential approximate point spectrum coincides with the isolated eigenvalues of the spectrum. Via the…

We study containment and uniqueness problems concerning matrix convex sets. First, to what extent is a matrix convex set determined by its first level? Our results in this direction quantify the disparity between two product operations,…

It is well known that an hyponormal operator satisfies Weyl's theorem. A result due to Conway shows that the essential spectrum of a normal operator $N$ consists precisely of all points in its spectrum except the isolated eigenvalues of…

The tangled closure of a collection of subsets of a topological space is the largest subset in which each member of the collection is dense. This operation models a logical `tangle modality' connective, of significance in finite model…

We describe the norm-closures of the set $\mathfrak{C}_{\mathfrak{E}}$ of commutators of idempotent operators and the set $\mathfrak{E} - \mathfrak{E}$ of differences of idempotent operators acting on a finite-dimensional complex Hilbert…

We prove that an operator space is completely isometric to a ternary ring of operators if and only if the open unit balls of all of its matrix spaces are bounded symmetric domains. From this we obtain an operator space characterization of…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a complex, separable Hilbert space, and set $\mathfrak{c}($NIL$_2)=\{ MN - NM : N, M \in \mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H}), M^2 = 0 = N^2 \}$. When $\dim\, \mathcal{H}$ is finite, we characterise the set $\mathfrak{c}($NIL$_2)$…

In this paper we prove that the quaternionic numerical range is always star-shaped and its star-center is given by the equivalence classes of the star-center of the bild. We determine the star-center of the bild, and consequently of the…

The $n$-dimensional numerical range of a densely defined linear operator $T$ on a complex Hilbert space $\H$ is the set of vectors in $\C^n$ of the form $(< Te_1,e_1>,...,< Te_n,e_n>)$, where $e_1,...,e_n$ is an orthonormal system in $\H$,…

We introduce a numerical radius operator space $(X, \mathcal{W}_n)$. The conditions to be a numerical radius operator space are weaker than the Ruan's axiom for an operator space $(X, \mathcal{O}_n)$. Let $w(\cdot)$ be the numerical radius…

In this paper, we introduce the generalized Cauchy dual $w(T) = T(T^{*}T)^{\dagger}$ of a closed operator $T$ with the closed range between Hilbert spaces and present intriguing findings that characterize the Cauchy dual of $T$.…

We investigate the closed convex hull of unitary orbits of selfadjoint elements in arbitrary unital C*-algebras. Using a notion of majorization against unbounded traces, a characterization of these closed convex hulls is obtained.…

The problem of expressing a selfadjoint element that is zero on every bounded trace as a finite sum (or a limit of sums) of commutators is investigated in the setting of C*-algebras of finite nuclear dimension. Upper bounds -- in terms of…
