In this paper, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions that must be met for weighted composition operators to act as zero divisors in $\mathcal{B}(\ell^p).$ We also give a necessary condition and a sufficient condition for a…

We give a characterization of zero divisors of the ring $C[a,b].$ Using the Weierstrass approximation theorem, we completely characterize topological divisors of zero of the Banach algebra $C[a,b].$ We also characterize the zero divisors…

Let $X=(X,\mathcal{B},\mu)$ be a $\sigma$-finite measure space and \mbox{$f:X\to X$} be a measurable transformation such that the composition operator $T_f:\varphi\mapsto \varphi\circ f$ is a bounded linear operator acting on…

H. J. Schwartz proved in his thesis (1969) that a nonzero bounded operator on Hardy spaces $(H^p, 1\leq p\leq\infty)$ is almost multiplicative if and only if it is a composition operator. But, his proof has a gap. In this article, we show…

In [3] S. J. Bhatt and H. V. Dedania exposed certain classes of Banach algebras in which every element is a topological divisor of zero. We identify a new (large) class of Banach algebras with the aforementioned property, namely, the class…

We study properties of the topological space of composition operators on the Banach algebra of bounded functions on an unbounded, locally finite metric space in the operator norm topology and essential norm topology. Moreover, we…

We prove, under certain conditions, the existence of zeros for a weakly continuous operator on a paracompact topological space into the dual of a Banach space.

We prove that in a large class of Banach spaces of analytic functions in the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ an (unbounded) operator $Af=G\cdot f'+g\cdot f$ with $G,\, g$ analytic in $\mathbb{D}$ generates a $C_0$-semigroup of weighted composition…

For $0<p\leq\infty$, let $F^{p}_\varphi$ be the Fock space induced by a weight function $\varphi$ satisfying $ dd^c \varphi \simeq \omega_0$. In this paper, given $p\in (0, 1]$ we introduce the concept of weakly localized operators on $…

For $0<p<\infty $, the Dirichlet-type space $\Dp$ consists of those analytic functions $f$ in the unit disc $\D$ such that $\int_\D|f'(z)|\sp p(1-|z|)^{p-1}\,dA(z)<\infty$. Motivated by operator theoretic differences between the Hardy space…

Let $\lambda_i (i=1,...,k)$ be any nonzero complex scalars and $\varphi_i (i=1,..,k)$ be any analytic self-maps of the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$. We show that the operator $\sum_{i=1}^k\lambda_iC_{\varphi_i}$ is compact on the Bloch space…

In this paper we characterize when the semi-commutator $T_fT_g-T_{fg}$ of two Toeplitz operators $T_f$ and $T_g$ on the Hardy space of the bidisc is zero. We also show that there is no nonzero finite rank semi-commutator on the bidisc.…

A famous conjecture about group algebras of torsion-free groups states that there is no zero divisor in such group algebras. A recent approach to settle the conjecture is to show the non-existence of zero divisors with respect to the length…

Let $p\in(0, 1]$. In this paper, the authors prove that a sublinear operator $T$ (which is originally defined on smooth functions with compact support) can be extended as a bounded sublinear operator from product Hardy spaces $H^p({{\mathbb…

A classical result by R. Rochberg says that every bounded Toeplitz operator $T$ on the Hilbert Paley-Wiener space $\mathrm{PW}_a^2$ admits a bounded symbol $\varphi$. We generalize this result to Toeplitz operators on the Banach…

Let F be an infinite field. We prove that the right zero divisors of a three-dimensional associative F-algebra A must form the union of at most finitely many linear subspaces of A. The proof is elementary and written with students as the…

Let $C_\varphi$ be a composition operator acting on the Hardy space of the unit disc $H^p$ ($1\leq p < \infty$), which is embedded in a $C_0$-semigroup of composition operators $\mathcal{T}=(C_{\varphi_t})_{t\geq 0}.$ We investigate whether…

Let $\lambda$ be a complex number in the closed unit disc $\overline{\Bbb D}$, and $\cal H$ be a separable Hilbert space with the orthonormal basis, say, ${\cal E}=\{e_n:n=0,1,2,\cdots\}$. A bounded operator $T$ on $\cal H$ is called a {\em…

This paper deals with the problem of when, given a collection $\mathcal C$ of weakly compact operators between separable Banach spaces, there exists a separable reflexive Banach space $Z$ with a Schauder basis so that every element in…

Using the model theory for Toeplitz operators with smooth symbols developed by the fourth author in the 80's, we study whether such operators $T_{F}$ can be embedded into a $C_{0}$-semigroup of operators on the Hardy space $H^p$ of the open…
