Uniqueness of the uniform norm and adjoining identity in Banach algebras

LetA _e be the algebra obtained by adjoining identity to a non-unital Banach algebra (A, ∥ · ∥). Unlike the case for aC*-norm on a Banach *-algebra,A _e admits exactly one uniform norm (not necessarily complete) if so doesA. This is used to show that the spectral extension property carries over fromA to A _e . Norms onA _e that extend the given complete norm ∥ · ∥ onA are investigated. The operator seminorm ∥ · ∥_op onA _e defined by ∥ · ∥ is a norm (resp. a complete norm) iffA has trivial left annihilator (resp. ∥ · ∥_op restricted toA is equivalent to ∥ · ∥).     

Polynomial algebras on classical banach spaces

For the classical Banach spacesX = ℓ _p ,C(K) we identify alln such that every polynomial of degreen + 1 onX is uniformly approximable on the unit ball by elements of the algebra generated by all polynomials of degree up ton onX.     

Compact homomorphisms of regular banach algebras

Let A be a complex commutative Banach algebra and let M_A be the maximal ideal space of A. We say that A has the bounded separating property if there exists a constant C > 0 such that for every two distinct points ?₁, ?₂ ∈ M_A, there is an element a ∈ A for which , and ‖a‖ ? C, where is the Gelfand transform of a ∈ A. We show that if A is a strongly regular Banach algebra with the bounded separating property, then every compact homomorphism from A into another Banach algebra is of finite dimensional range. © 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Riesz ideals in generalized effect algebras and in their unitizations

We show that quotients of generalized effect algebras by Riesz ideals preserve some important special properties, e.g., homogeneity and hereditary Riesz decomposition properties; moreover, quotients of generalized orthoalgebras, weak generalized orthomodular posets, generalized orthomodular lattices and generalized MV-algebras with respect to Riesz ideals belong to the same class. We give a necessary and sufficient condition under which a Riesz ideal I of a generalized effect algebra P is a Riesz ideal also in the unitization E of P. We also study relations between Riesz ideals and central elements in GEAs and in their unitizations. In the last section, we demonstrate the notion of Riesz ideals by some illustrative examples.

Examples of banach algebras over commutativebanach algebras of given homological dimension

We prove that, for every natural number n, there exists a unital semisimple Banach star algebra Aand a closed star subalgebra Bof the centre of A, different from C, such that the global B-homological dimension and the B-homological bidimension of Aare both equal to n. The algebras Aand Bcan be taken to be function algebras.     

Hyperreflexivity of bounded N-cocycle spaces of banach algebras

Let \(X\) and \(Y\) be Banach spaces, \(n\in \mathbb {N}\) , and \(B^n(X,Y)\) the space of bounded \(n\) -linear maps from \(X\times \ldots \times X\) ( \(n\) -times) into \(Y\) . The concept of hyperreflexivity has already been defined for subspaces of \(B(X,Y)\) , where \(X\) and \(Y\) are Banach spaces. We extend this concept to the subspaces of \(B^n(X,Y)\) , taking into account its \(n\) -linear structure. We then investigate when \(\mathcal {Z}^n(A,X)\) , the space of all bounded \(n\) -cocycles from a Banach algebra \(A\) into a Banach \(A\) -bimodule \(X\) , is hyperreflexive. Our approach is based on defining two notions related to a Banach algebra, namely the strong property \((\mathbb {B})\) and bounded local units, and then applying them to find uniform criterions under which \(\mathcal {Z}^n(A,X)\) is hyperreflexive. We also demonstrate that these criterions are satisfied in variety of examples including large classes of C \(^*\) -algebras and group algebras and thereby providing various examples of hyperreflexive \(n\) -cocyle spaces. One advantage of our approach is that not only we obtain the hyperreflexivity for bounded \(n\) -cocycle spaces in different cases but also our results generalize the earlier ones on the hyperreflexivity of bounded derivation spaces, i.e. when \(n=1\) , in the literature. Finally, we investigate the hereditary properties of the strong property \((\mathbb {B})\) and b.l.u. This allows us to come with more examples of bounded \(n\) -cocycle spaces which are hyperreflexive.

Homotopy stability of orthogonal spaces in commutative banach algebras

We study the concept of real stable rank for a complex commutative Banach algebra A (rsr A). It is shown that this invariant has a behaviour completely analogous to the classical Bass stable rank; in particular, we establish a precise relation between both invariants.Further, we use this machinery to show that the connected components of the orthogonal spaces of A, O _k ⁿ (A)={ A ^k×n:^t=id_k×k}, stabilize when k and n increase in a way that depends on rsr A Finally, we prove an analogous stabilization result for the homotopy classes of maps from the j-sphere into O _k ⁿ (A), where j is an arbitrary positive integer.Research supported by a grant of the CONICET, Argentina.     

Jordan operator algebras revisited

Jordan operator algebras are norm‐closed spaces of operators on a Hilbert space with for all . In two recent papers by the authors and Neal, a theory for these spaces was developed. It was shown there that much of the theory of associative operator algebras, in particular, surprisingly much of the associative theory from several recent papers of the first author and coauthors, generalizes to Jordan operator algebras. In the present paper we complete this task, giving several results which generalize the associative case in these papers, relating to unitizations, real positivity, hereditary subalgebras, and a couple of other topics. We also solve one of the three open problems stated at the end of our earlier joint paper on Jordan operator algebras.     

Quantum Schur algebras revisited

A geometric construction of quantum Schur algebras was given by Beilinson, Lusztig and MacPherson in terms of pairs of flags in a vector space. By viewing such pairs of flags as representations of a poset, we give a recursive formula for the structure constants of quantum Schur algebras which is related to certain Hall polynomials. As an application, we provide a direct proof of the fundamental multiplication formulas which play a key role in the Beilinson-Lusztig-MacPherson realization of quantum gl_n. In the appendix we show how to groupoidify quantum Schur algebras in the sense of Baez, Hoffnung and Walker.     

Banach algebras with unique uniform norm

Commutative semisimple Banach algebras that admit exactly one uniform norm (not necessarily complete) are investigated. This unique uniform norm property is completely characterized in terms of each of spectral radius, Silov boundary, set of uniqueness, semisimple norms; and its connection with recently investigated concepts like spectral extension property, multiplicative Hahn Banach extension property and permanent radius are revealed. Several classes of Banach algebras having this property as well as those not having this property are discussed.
