We establish a spectral characterization theorem for the operators on complex Hilbert spaces of arbitrary dimensions that attain their norm on every closed subspace. The class of these operators is not closed under addition. Nevertheless,…

The induction and reduction precesses of an O*-vector space $\M$ obtained by means of a projection taken, respectively, in $\M$ itself or in its weak bounded commutant $\M'_\w$ are studied. In the case where $\M$ is a partial GW*-algebra,…

The theory of M-ideals and multiplier mappings of Banach spaces naturally generalizes to left (or right) M-ideals and multiplier mappings of operator spaces. These subspaces and mappings are intrinsically characterized in terms of the…

Following previous works for the unit ball, we define quasi-radial pseudo-homogeneous symbols on the projective space and obtain the corresponding commutativity results for Toeplitz operators. A geometric interpretation of these symbols in…

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…

A complex number $\lambda$ is called an extended eigenvalue of a bounded linear operator $T$ on a Banach space $\B$ if there exists a non-zero bounded linear operator $X$ acting on $\B$ such that $XT=\lambda TX$. We show that there are…

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…

We answer, by counterexample, several open questions concerning algebras of operators on a Hilbert space. The answers add further weight to the thesis that, for many purposes, such algebras ought to be studied in the framework of operator…

It is known that the Bergman projection operator maps the space of essentially bounded functions in the unit ball in the d-dimensional complex vector space onto the Bloch space of the unit ball. This paper deals with the various semi-norms…
