The paper studies properties of twisted sums of a Banach space $X$ with $c_0(\kappa)$. We first prove a representation theorem for such twisted sums from which we will obtain, among others, the following: (a) twisted sums of $c_0(I)$ and…

In this paper we study the ideal amenability of Banach algebras. Let $\cal A$ be a Banach algebra and let $I$ be a closed two-sided ideal in $\cal A$, $\cal A$ is $I$-weakly amenable if $H^{1}({\cal A},I^*)=\{0\}$. Further, $\cal A$ is…

A remarkable theorem of R. C. James is the following: suppose that $X$ is a Banach space and $C \subseteq X$ is a norm bounded, closed and convex set such that every linear functional $x^* \in X^*$ attains its supremum on $C$; then $C$ is a…

A Banach algebra $A$ is said to be a zero Jordan product determined Banach algebra if every continuous bilinear map $\varphi\colon A\times A\to X$, where $X$ is an arbitrary Banach space, which satisfies $\varphi(a,b)=0$ whenever $a$, $b\in…

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…

Let $X$ be a real or complex Banach space and $T_t:X\to X$ is a power bounded operator (or a $C_0$-semigroup). If there exists a "occasionally" attracting compact subset K (for each x$ in unit ball $\liminf_n \rho(T^n x, K)=0$ then there…

The article is devoted to quasilinear operators in spaces over quaternions and octonions. Spectral theory of bounded and unbounded operators is investigated. Analogs of C^* algebras are defined and studied. Among main results are analogs of…

We study operator semigroups in the Calkin algebra $\mathcal{Q}(\mathcal{H})$, represented as a subalgebra of the algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space via one of `canonical' Calkin's representations. Using the BDF theory,…

We study the space $c_{0,\mathcal{I}}$ of all bounded sequences $(x_n)$ that $\mathcal{I}$-converge to $0$, endowed with the sup norm, where $\mathcal{I}$ is an ideal of subsets of $\mathbb{N}$. We show that two such spaces,…

Let $\mathscr{B}(X)$ denote the Banach algebra of bounded operators on $X$, where~$X$ is either Tsirelson's Banach space or the Schreier space of order $n$ for some $n\in\mathbb N$. We show that the lattice of closed ideals…

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…

Let $M$ be a commutative homogeneous space of a compact Lie group $G$ and $A$ be a closed $G$-invariant subalgebra of the Banach algebra $C(M)$. A function algebra is called antisymmetric if it does not contain nonconstant real functions.…

We define continuous C*-algebras over a topological space X and establish some basic results. If X is a locally compact Hausdorff space, continuous C*-algebras over X are equivalent to ordinary continuous C_0(X)-algebras. The main purpose…

It is shown that if $A$ is a uniform algebra generated by real-analytic functions on a suitable compact subset $K$ of a real-analytic variety such that the maximal ideal space of $A$ is $K$, and every continuous function on $K$ is locally a…

In this article, we characterize the left symmetric points in $C(K,X)$, where $K$ is a compact Hausdorff space and $X$ is a Banach space. We also provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the right symmetric points in $C(K,X)$.…

A detailed study of the semigroup $C^\ast$-algebra is presented. This $C^\ast$-algebra appears as a "deformation" of the continuous functions algebra on a compact abelian group. Considering semigroup $C^\ast$-algebras in this framework we…

We prove that if $X,Y$ are Banach spaces, $\Omega$ a compact Hausdorff space and $U\hbox{\rm :} C(\Omega,X)\to Y$ is a bounded linear operator, and if $U$ is a Dunford--Pettis operator the range of the representing measure $G(\Sigma)…

There exists a real hereditarily indecomposable Banach space $X$ such that the quotient space $L(X)/S(X)$ by strictly singular operators is isomorphic to the complex field (resp. to the quaternionic division algebra). Up to isomorphism, the…
