Let $A$ be a complex Banach algebra. If the spectrum of an invertible element $a\in A$ does not separate the plane, then $a$ admits a logarithm. We present two elementary proofs of this classical result which are independent of the…
We investigate when the algebraic numerical range is a $C$-spectral set in a Banach algebra. While providing several counterexamples based on classical ideas as well as combinatorial Banach spaces, we discuss positive results for matrix…
We develop the theory of Banach algebras whose multiplication (regarded as a bilinear map) is open. We demonstrate that such algebras must have topological stable rank 1, however the latter condition is strictly weaker and implies only that…
Let $X$ be a Banach space, $A\in B(X)$ and $M$ be an invariant subspace of $A$. We present an alternative proof that, if the spectrum of the restriction of $A$ to $M$ contains a point that is in any given hole in the spectrum of $A$, then…
Using principles of the theory of smoothness spaces we give systematic constructions of scales of inverse-closed subalgebras of a given Banach algebra with the action of a d-parameter automorphism group. In particular we obtain the…
In this paper we study the reflexivity of a unital strongly closed algebra of operators with complemented invariant subspace lattice on a Banach space. We prove that if such an algebra contains a complete Boolean algebra of projections of…
In this paper, we present new necessary and sufficient conditions under which the sum of two group invertible elements in a Banach algebra has group inverse. We then apply these results to block operator matrices over Banach spaces. The…
We present necessary and sufficient conditions under which the anti-triangular matrix $\left( \begin{array}{cc} a&b 1&0 \end{array} \right)$ over a Banach algebra has g-Drazin inverse. New additive results for g-Drazin inverse are obtained.…
We study exponential factorization of invertible matrices over unital complex Banach algebras. In particular, we prove that every invertible matrix with entries in the algebra of holomorphic functions on a closed bordered Riemann surface…
We give an example of a dense, simple, unital Banach subalgebra $A$ of the irrational rotation C*-algebra $B$, such that $A$ is not a spectral subalgebra of $B$. This answers a question posed in T.W. Palmer's paper [1].
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…
Let $B$ be a Banach algebra. The interest of this article lies in the study of the commutativity of B if certain specific algebraic identities hold over a non-empty open subset of B. The limitations imposed in the hypothesis of our results…
We examine the condition that a complex Banach algebra $A$ have dense invertible group. We show that, for commutative algebras, this property is preserved by integral extensions. We also investigate the connections with an old problem in…
We investigate two systematic constructions of inverse-closed subalgebras of a given Banach algebra or operator algebra A, both of which are inspired by classical principles of approximation theory. The first construction requires a closed…
We present new additive results for the pseudo core inverse in a Banach algebra with involution. The necessary and sufficient conditions under which the sum of two pseudo core invertible elements in Banach *-algebra is pseudo core…
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a complex Banach algebra. An element $a\in \mathcal{A}$ has g-Drazin inverse if there exists $b\in \mathcal{A}$ such that $$b=bab, ab=ba, a-a^2b\in \mathcal{A}^{qnil}.$$ Let $a,b\in \mathcal{A}$ have g-Drazin inverses.…
We explore the generalized Drazin inverse in a Banach algebra. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a Banach algebra, and let $a,b\in \mathcal{A}^{d}$. If $ab=\lambda a^{\pi}bab^{\pi}$ then $a+b\in \mathcal{A}^{d}$. The explicit representation of $(a+b)^d$…
This paper is concerned with general $n\times n$ upper triangular operator matrices with given diagonal entries. We characterize perturbations of the left (right) essential spectrum, the essential spectrum, as well as the left (right) the…
In this paper, we present new presentations of group inverse for the sum of two group invertible elements in a Banach algebra. We then apply these results to block complex matrices. The group invertibility of certain block complex matrices…
We give a characterization of the ''uniform closure'' of the dual of a $C^{*}$-algebra. Some applications in harmonic analysis are given.
