Sylvester equations $AX-XB=C$ have unique solutions for all $C$ when the spectra of $A$ and $B$ are disjoint. Here $A$ and $B$ are bounded operators in Banach spaces. We discuss the existence of polynomials $p$ such that the spectra of…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a unital complex semisimple Banach algebra, and $M_{\mathcal{A}}$ denote its maximal ideal space. For a matrix $M\in {\mathcal{A}}^{n\times n}$, $\widehat{M}$ denotes the matrix obtained by taking entry-wise Gelfand…

For given unital complex Banach algebras $\mathcal{A}_1$ and $\mathcal{A}_2$, let $\mathfrak{M}$ be a Banach module acting between them. Let $a\in \mathcal{A}_1$, $b\in\mathcal{A}_2$, and $c\in\mathfrak{M}$ be provided such that…

We aim to find conditions on two Hilbert space operators $A$ and $B$ under which the expression $AX-XB$ having low rank forces the operator $X$ itself to admit a good low rank approximation. It is known that this can be achieved when $A$…

We show that smoothness implies norm-controlled inversion: the smoothness of an element $a$ in a Banach algebra with a one-parameter automorphism group is preserved under inversion, and the norm of the inverse $a^{-1}$ is controlled by the…

In this paper, we establish some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions to the system of operator equations $ BXA=B=AXB $ in the setting of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space, where the unknown operator…

Every differential subalgebra of a unital $C^*$-algebra is spectrally invariant. We derive a quantitative version of this well-known fact and show that a minimal amount of smoothness, as given by a differential norm, already implies norm…

We show that for each of the following Banach spaces~$X$, the quotient algebra $\mathscr{B}(X)/\mathscr{I}$ has a unique algebra norm for every closed ideal $\mathscr{I}$ of $\mathscr{B}(X)\colon$ - $X=…

We present a sufficient condition for smoothness of bounded linear operators on Banach spaces for the first time. Let $T, A \in B(\mathbb{X}, \mathbb{Y}),$ where $\mathbb{X}$ is a real Banach space and $\mathbb{Y}$ is a real normed linear…

We show that any bounded operator $T$ on a separable, reflexive, infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$ admits a rank one perturbation which has an invariant subspace of infinite dimension and codimension. In the non-reflexive spaces, we…

In this article we introduce several new examples of Wiener pairs $\mathcal{A} \subseteq \mathcal{B}$, where $\mathcal{B} = \mathcal{B}(\ell^2(X;\mathcal{H}))$ is the Banach algebra of bounded operators acting on the Hilbert space-valued…

The purpose of this note is to show that, if $\mcB$ is a uniformly convex Banach, then the dual space $\mcB'$ has a "Hilbert space representation" (defined in the paper), that makes $\mcB$ much closer to a Hilbert space then previously…

We focus on a question raised by Daws [Arens regularity of the algebra of operators on a Banach space, Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 36 (2004), 493-503] concerning the Arens regularity of B(X), the algebra of operators on a Banach space X. Among…

Let X be a Banach space over field F (R or C). Denote by B(X) the set of all bounded linear operators on X and by F(X) the set of all finite rank operators on X. A subalgebra A of B(X) is called a standard operator algebra if A contain…

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…

This paper presents a solution to a problem from superanalysis about the existence of Hilbert-Banach superalgebras. Two main results are derived: 1) There exist Hilbert norms on some graded algebras (infinite-dimensional superalgebras…

Let X be a real Banach space. We prove that the existence of an injective, positive, symmetric and not strictly singular operator from X into its dual implies that either X admits an equivalent Hilbertian norm or it contains a nontrivially…

It is proved that the resolvent norm of an operator with a compact resolvent on a Banach space $X$ cannot be constant on an open set if the underlying space or its dual is complex strictly convex. It is also shown that this is not the case…

An algebra A of operators on a Banach space X is called strictly semi-transitive if for all non-zero x,y in X there exists an operator S in A such that Sx=y or Sy=x. We show that if A is norm-closed and strictly semi-transitive, then every…

Let $a$ and $b$ be elements of a semisimple, complex and unital Banach algebra $A$. Using subharmonic methods, we show that if the spectral containment $\sigma(ax)\subseteq\sigma(bx)$ holds for all $x\in A$, then $ax$ belongs to the…
