Norms of certain Jordan elementary operators

Let H be a complex Hilbert space and let B(H) denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. For A,B∈B(H), the Jordan elementary operator UA,B is defined by UA,B(X)=AXB+BXA, ∀X∈B(H). In this short note, we discuss the norm of UA,B. We show that if dimH=2 and ‖UA,B‖=‖A‖‖B‖, then either AB^∗ or B^∗A is 0. We give some examples of Jordan elementary operators UA,B such that ‖UA,B‖=‖A‖‖B‖ but AB^∗≠0 and B^∗A≠0, which answer negatively a question posed by M. Boumazgour in [M. Boumazgour, Norm inequalities for sums of two basic elementary operators, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 342 (2008) 386-393].

Composition operators on uniform algebras, essential norms, and hyperbolically bounded sets

Let be a uniform algebra, and let be a self-map of the spectrum of that induces a composition operator on . The object of this paper is to relate the notion of ``hyperbolic boundedness' introduced by the authors in 2004 to the essential spectrum of . It is shown that the essential spectral radius of is strictly less than if and only if the image of under some iterate of is hyperbolically bounded. The set of composition operators is partitioned into ``hyperbolic vicinities" that are clopen with respect to the essential operator norm. This partition is related to the analogous partition with respect to the uniform operator norm.

     

Rough norms in spaces of operators

We investigate sufficient and necessary conditions for the space of bounded linear operators between two Banach spaces to be rough or average rough. Our main result is that is δ‐average rough whenever is δ‐average rough and Y is alternatively octahedral. This allows us to give a unified improvement of two theorems by Becerra Guerrero, López‐Pérez, and Rueda Zoca [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 427 (2015)].     

Essential norms of weighted composition operators and Aleksandrov measures

We derive exact formulas for the essential and weak essential norms of weighted analytic composition operators acting on certain function spaces in the unit disc, extending and improving earlier results due to Sarason and to Kriete and Moorhouse. Differences of composition operators are also considered. The formulas involve the Aleksandrov measures associated to the symbol of the operator. The results are based on a variant of a general method due to Weis of constructing best compact and weakly compact approximants for linear operators on L¹ spaces.     

Unitarily invariant norms related to the numerical radius

We determine the maximum in the class of unitarily invariant norms ∥·∥ such that w(A) ? ∥A∥ for all n-square matrices A. Here w(A) denotes the numerical radius of A.     

Anderson's theorem for compact operators

Harmonic operators: the dual perspective

The study of harmonic functions on a locally compact group G has recently been transferred to a “non-commutative” setting in two different directions: Chu and Lau replaced the algebra L ^∞(G) by the group von Neumann algebra VN(G) and the convolution action of a probability measure μ on L ^∞(G) by the canonical action of a positive definite function σ on VN(G); on the other hand, Jaworski and the first author replaced L ^∞(G) by to which the convolution action by μ can be extended in a natural way. We establish a link between both approaches. The action of σ on VN(G) can be extended to . We study the corresponding space of “σ-harmonic operators”, i.e., fixed points in under the action of σ. We show, under mild conditions on either σ or G, that is in fact a von Neumann subalgebra of . Our investigation of relies, in particular, on a notion of support for an arbitrary operator in that extends Eymard’s definition for elements of VN(G). Finally, we present an approach to via ideals in , where denotes the trace class operators on L ²(G), but equipped with a product different from composition, as it was pioneered for harmonic functions by Willis. M. Neufang was supported by NSERC and the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach. V. Runde was supported by NSERC and the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach.     

Norm equality for a basic elementary operator

Let be the algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H. For , define the elementary operator M_A,B by M_A,B(X)=AXB (). We give necessary and sufficient conditions for any pair of operators A and B to satisfy the equation ‖I+M_A,B‖=1+‖A‖‖B‖, where I is the identity operator on H.     

Norms and spectral radii of composition operators acting on the Dirichlet space

We obtain new upper bounds on the norms of univalently induced composition operators acting on the Dirichlet space and compute explicitly the norms for univalent symbols whose range is the disk minus a set of measure zero. As an application, we show that the spectral radius of every univalently induced composition operator on the Dirichlet space is equal to one.
