We show that a unital involutive Banach algebra, with identity of norm one and continuous involution, is a C*-algebra, with the given involution and norm, if every continuous linear functional attaining its norm at the identity is positive.

We review and analyse techniques from the literature for extending a normed algebra, A to a normed algebra, B, so that B has interesting or desirable properties which A may lack. For example, B might include roots of monic polynomials over…

This book treats: - spectral theory of Banach *-algebras, - basic representation theory of normed *-algebras, - spectral theory of representations of commutative *-algebras. A novel feature of the book is the construction of the enveloping…

The aim of this paper is to present a tool used to show that certain Banach spaces can be endowed with $C^k$ smooth equivalent norms. The hypothesis uses particular countable decompositions of certain subsets of $B_{X^*}$, namely…

In this paper, we first define two classes of holomorphic mappings defined on the unit ball $B^n$ of n-dimensional complex space $\mathbb{C}^n$ and obtain the lower estimates for Bloch's constant for these classes. Also, we derive the…

Let $A$ be a unital Banach algebra. We give a characterization of the left Banach $A$-modules $X$ for which there exists a commutative unital $C^*$-algebra $C(K)$, a linear isometry $i\colon X\to C(K)$, and a contractive unital homomorphism…

We study representations of Banach algebras on reflexive Banach spaces. Algebras which admit such representations which are bounded below seem to be a good generalisation of Arens regular Banach algebras; this class includes dual Banach…

Motivated by recent applications of weighted norm inequalities to maximal regularity of first and second order Cauchy problems, we study real interpolation spaces on the basis of general Banach function spaces and, in particular, weighted…

We prove an abstract theorem on keeping the compactness property of a linear operator after interpolation in Banach spaces. No analytical presentation of operators, spaces and interpolation functor is required. We use only some little-known…

We introduce a class of Banach algebras of generalized matrices and study the existence of approximate units, ideal structure, and derivations of them.

Building upon Bennett's and Grosse-Erdmann's ideas falling under the conceptual umbrella of factorization of inequalities, we propose a unified approach towards the structure of certain Banach ideal spaces defined in terms of the least…

We fully characterize those von Neumann algebras having the ball-covering property. We also study the ball-covering property of noncommutative symmetric spaces. In particular, we provide a number of new examples of non-separable…

An atomic decomposition is proved for Banach spaces which satisfy some affine geometric axioms compatible with notions from the quantum mechanical measuring process. This is then applied to yield, under appropriate assumptions, geometric…

We reformulate, modify and extend a comparison criteria of $L^{p}$ norms obtained by Nazarov-Podkorytov and place it in the general setting of interpolation theory and majorization theory. In particular, we give norm comparison criteria for…

In Euclidean spaces, every closed, bounded, convex set can be characterized by two equivalent notions of separation properties. This is not true in general for arbitrary Banach spaces. In this work, we present a ball separation…

We introduce the notion of envelope of a topological algebra (in particular, an arbitrary associative algebra) with respect to a class of Banach algebras. In the case of the class of real Banach algebras of polynomial growth, i.e.,…

Given two C*-algebras A and B, abstract A-B bimodules that can be isometrically represented as operator bimodules are characterised in terms of their norm. Various properties of such bimodules are given. Their theory is very similar to…

Interpolation inequalities for $C^m$ functions allow to bound derivatives of intermediate order $0 < j<m$ by bounds for the derivatives of order $0$ and $m$. We review various interpolation inequalities for $L^p$-norms ($1 \le p \le…

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 compute the Borel complexity of some classes of Banach spaces such as different versions of diameter two properties, spaces satisfying the Daugavet equation or spaces with an octahedral norm. In most of the above cases our computation is…
