Amenability of any of the algebras described in the title is known to force them to be finite-dimensional. The analogous problems for \emph{approximate} amenability have been open for some years now. In this article we give a complete…

We obtain a Bernstein-type inequality for sums of Banach-valued random variables satisfying a weak dependence assumption of general type and under certain smoothness assumptions of the underlying Banach norm. We use this inequality in order…

Let ${\mathcal B}(H)$ denote the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space $H$ with $\dim H\geq 3$, and let $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ be subsets of ${\mathcal B}(H)$ which contain all rank one operators.…

We develop the theory of topological radicals, and in particular the theory of the hypocompact radical. The results are applied for obtaining convenient formulas of calculation of the joint spectral radius of a precompact family of elements…

In our former paper we introduced the concept of localisation of ideals in the Fourier algebra of a locally compact Abelian group. It turns out that localisability of a closed ideal in the Fourier algebra is equivalent to the…

We consider the relationship between derivations $d$ and $g$ of a Banach algebra $B$ that satisfy $\s(g(x)) \subseteq \s(d(x))$ for every $x\in B$, where $\s(\, . \,)$ stands for the spectrum. It turns out that in some basic situations, say…

In previous work with Niles Johnson the author constructed a spectral sequence for computing homotopy groups of spaces of maps between structured objects such as G-spaces and E_n-ring spectra. In this paper we study special cases of this…

We prove spectral multiplier theorems for H\"ormander classes $\mathcal{H}^\alpha\_p$ for 0-sectorial operators A on Banach spaces assuming a bounded $H^\infty(\Sigma\_\sigma)$ calculus for some $\sigma \in (0,\pi)$ and norm and certain…

Given $\u$ a multiplicative sequence of polynomial ideals, we consider the associated algebra of holomorphic functions of bounded type, $H_{b\u}(E)$. We prove that, under very natural conditions verified by many usual classes of…

Famous results due to von Neumann, Sz.-Nagy and Arveson assert that the following four statements are equivalent; a Hilbert space operator $T$ is a contraction; the closed unit disk $\overline{\mathbb D}$ is a spectral set for $T$; $T$ can…

In this paper we give a short, direct proof, using only properties of the Haagerup tensor product, that if an operator algebra A possesses a diagonal in the Haagerup tensor product of A with itself, then A must be isomorphic to a finite…

We display methods that allow for computations of spectra, pseudospectra and resolvents of linear operators on Hilbert spaces and also elements in unital Banach algebras. The paper considers two different approaches, namely, pseudospectral…

A dual Banach algebra is a Banach algebra which is a dual space, with the multiplication being separately weak$^*$-continuous. We show that given a unital dual Banach algebra $\mc A$, we can find a reflexive Banach space $E$, and an…

We study Banach $\widetilde{\mathbb C}$-algebras, i.e., complete ultra-pseudo-normed algebras over the ring $\widetilde{\mathbb C}$ of Colombeau generalized complex numbers. We develop a spectral theory in such algebras. We show by explicit…

Let $G$ be a compact group and let $A^n(G)$ denote the multidimensional Fourier algebra introduced by Todorov and Turowska. In this note, we first define the multidimensional version of the Varopolous algebra and show that the…

Recently we introduced the concept of localisability of ideals in the Fourier algebra of locally compact Abelian groups. It turns out that localisability can be used to characterise synthesisability of varieties. Based on this we show that…

The Banach $^{*}$-algebra $A\hat{\otimes}B$, the operator space projective tensor product of $C^{*}$-algebras $A$ and $B$, is shown to be $^{*}$-regular if Tomiyama's property ($F$) holds for $A\otimes_{\min}B$ and $A \otimes_{\min}B=A…

We use free probability techniques to compute borders of spectra of non hermitian operators in finite von Neumann algebras which arise as `free sums' of `simple' operators. To this end, the resolvent is analyzed with the aid of the Haagerup…

Quasi *-algebras form an essential class of partial *-algebras, which are algebras of unbounded operators. In this work, we aim to construct tensor products of normed, respectively Banach quasi *-algebras, and study their capacity to…

Let $A$ be a unital Banach algebra over $\mathbb C$, and suppose that the nonzero spectral values of, respectively, $a\mbox{ and }b\in A$ are discrete sets which cluster at $0\in\mathbb C$, if anywhere. We develop a plane geometric formula…
