Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces, $A\,:\,X\rightarrow Y$ and $B,\,C\,:\,Y\rightarrow X$ be bounded linear operators. We prove that if $A(BA)^2=ABACA=ACABA=(AC)^2A,$ then $$\sigma_{*}(AC)\setminus\{0\}=\sigma_{*}(BA)\setminus\{0\}$$ where…

In this paper we present a new extension of the theory of well-bounded operators to cover operators with complex spectrum. In previous work a new concept of the class of absolutely continuous functions on a nonempty compact subset $\sigma$…

Given a Banach algebra $ \mathcal{A} $ and a continuous homomorphism $\sigma$ on it, the notion of $\sigma$-biflatness for $ \mathcal{A} $ is introduced. This is a generalization of biflatness and it is shown that they are distinct. The…

For a certain class of algebras $\cal A$ we give a method for constructing Banach spaces $X$ such that every operator on $X$ is close to an operator in $\cal A$. This is used to produce spaces with a small amount of structure. We present…

The notion of B-convexity for operator spaces, which a priori depends on a set of parameters indexed by $\Sigma$, is defined. Some of the classical characterizations of this geometric notion for Banach spaces are studied in this new…

We introduce the numerical spectrum $\sigma_n(A)\subset \mathbb{C}$ of an (unbounded) linear operator $A$ on a Banach space $X$ and study its properties. Our definition is closely related to the numerical range $W(A)$ of $A$ and always…

Let $X,Y$ be Banach spaces, $A:X \longrightarrow Y$ and $B,C:Y \longrightarrow X$ be bounded linear operators satisfying operator equation $ABA=ACA$. Recently, as extensions of Jacobson's lemma, Corach, Duggal and Harte studied common…

We investigate some subtle and interesting phenomena in the duality theory of operator spaces and operator algebras. In particular, we give several applications of operator space theory, based on the surprising fact that certain maps are…

Lecture notes to a one-term course on operator algebras and their application in physics. Very brief and basic introduction to the subject of Banach- and C-star algebras complemented with their appearance in physics. The course is intended…

We introduce algebras which are inductive limits of Banach spaces and carry inequalities which are counterparts of the inequality for the norm in a Banach algebra. We then define an associated Wiener algebra, and prove the corresponding…

We introduce a family of Banach spaces of measures, each containing the set of measures with density of bounded variation. These spaces are suitable for the study of weighted transfer operators of piecewise-smooth maps of the interval where…

In this paper we investigate the relationship between the properties of a compact set $\sigma \subseteq \mathbb{C}$ and the structure of the space $BV(\sigma)$ of functions of bounded variation (in the sense of Ashton and Doust) defined on…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces such that the ideal of operators which factor through $Y$ has codimension one in the Banach algebra $\mathscr{B}(X)$ of all bounded operators on $X$, and suppose that $Y$ contains a complemented subspace…

An algebra of bounded linear operators on a Banach space is said to be {\em strongly compact} if its unit ball is precompact in the strong operator topology, and a bounded linear operator on a Banach space is said to be {\em strongly…

We give a brief overview of the area of Banach algebras, intended for a general mathematical audience.

Smith et al. recently gave the sufficient and necessary conditions for the boundedness of Volterra type operators on Banach spaces of bounded analytic functions when the symbol functions are univalent. In this paper, we give the complete…

We will give an outline of the main results in our recent AMS Memoir, and include some new results, exposition and open problems. In that memoir we developed a general dilation theory for operator valued measures acting on Banach spaces…

Motivated by noncommutative geometry and quantum physics, the concept of `metric operator field' is introduced. Roughly speaking, a metric operator field is a vector field on a set with values in self tensor product of a bundle of…

We show that among compact subsets of the plane which are drawings of linear graphs, two sets $\sigma$ and $\tau$ are homeomorphic if and only if the corresponding spaces of absolutely continuous functions (in the sense of Ashton and Doust)…

Analogues of the classical Banach-Stone theorem for spaces of continuous functions are studied in the context of the spaces of absolutely continuous functions introduced by Ashton and Doust. We show that if $AC(\sigma_1)$ is algebra…
