Metrically and topologically projective ideals of Banach algebras

In the present paper, necessary conditions for the metric and topological projectivity of closed ideals of Banach algebras are given. In the case of commutative Banach algebras, a criterion for the metric and topological projectivity of ideals admitting a bounded approximate identity is obtained. The main result of the paper is as follows: a closed ideal of an arbitrary C*-algebra is metrically or topologically projective if and only if it admits a self-adjoint right identity.     

Algebra involutions on the bidual of a Banach algebra

Let A be a Banach algebra with bounded approximate right identity. We show that a necessary condition for the bidual of A to admit an algebra involution (with respect to the first Arens product) is that A*A=A*, i.e. the dual of A has to be essential as a right A-module. In particular, for any infinite, non-discrete, locally compact Hausdorff group G, L¹(G)** does not admit any algebra involution with respect to either Arens product. This implies that the main result of a paper of R.S. Doran and W. Tiller concerning L¹(G)** as Banach *-algebra (see [DT]) applies only to the trivial case of finite abelian groups.Essentially, the proof of the foregoing lemma is due to H.Rindler.     

Stinespring representability and Kadison’s Schwarz inequality in non-unital Banach star algebras and applications

A completely positive operator valued linear map ϕ on a (not necessarily unital) Banach *-algebra with continuous involution admits minimal Stinespring dilation iff for some scalark > 0, ϕ(x)*ϕ(x) ≤ kϕ(x*x) for allx iff ϕ is hermitian and satisfies Kadison’s Schwarz inequality ϕ(h) ² ≤ kϕ(h ²) for all hermitianh iff ϕ extends as a completely positive map on the unitizationA _e of A. A similar result holds for positive linear maps. These provide operator state analogues of the corresponding well-known results for representable positive functionals. Further, they are used to discuss (a) automatic Stinespring representability in Banach *-algebras, (b) operator valued analogue of Bochner-Weil-Raikov integral representation theorem, (c) operator valued analogue of the classical Bochner theorem in locally compact abelian groupG, and (d) extendability of completely positive maps from *-subalgebras. Evans’ result on Stinespring respresentability in the presence of bounded approximate identity (BAI) is deduced. A number of examples of Banach *-algebras without BAI are discussed to illustrate above results.     

关于Gelfand-Mazur型的两个定理

证明了两个Gelfand-Mazur型的定理，其一是：设A是一单位C^*- wa ovt ,AH≌R，且h∈AK时，e^h具有凸谱集。则A≌C。这一结果回答了Bhatt等人的问题，给出了他们的结果在实情形中的结论。其二，部分地回答了Bhatt等人的另一个问题。结果是：设A是一复单位厄米Banach^*- 代数，假设（i)对任意x∈AH，谱集σA(x)的内部是空集，且C\σA（x)是连通的，（ii)A没有非零零因子，则A同构到C。     

A note on banach partial *-algebras

A Banach partial *-algebra is a locally convex partial *-algebra whose total space is a Banach space. A Banach partial *-algebra is said to be of type (B) if it possesses a generating family of multiplier spaces that are also Banach spaces. We describe the basic properties of such objects and display a number of examples, namely L ^p -like function spaces and spaces of operators on Hilbert scales.

At the present paper, the new concepts of fuzzy quasi norm, fuzzy Banach space, fuzzy quasi continuity and fuzzy quasi boundedness is introduced. Furthermore, we define the fuzzy quasi operator norm and also it is shown that the set all of fuzzy quasi bounded operator from X to Y is fuzzy quasi Banach space. Finally, we have introduced and investigated some notions and some results on *-algebra theory.

Homomorphic Feller Cocycles on a C*-Algebra

When a Fock-adapted Feller cocycle on a C*-algebra is regular,completely positive and contractive, it possesses a stochasticgenerator that is necessarily completely bounded. Necessaryand sufficient conditions are given, in the form of a sequenceof identities, for a completely bounded map to generate a weaklymultiplicative cocycle. These are derived from a product formulafor iterated quantum stochastic integrals. Under two alternativeassumptions, one of which covers all previously considered cases,the first identity in the sequence is shown to imply the rest.     

Symplectic groups and the Klein-Gordon field

In this paper a Cohen factorization theorem x = a^t · x_t (t > 0) is proved for a Banach algebra A with a bounded approximate identity, where t ? a^t is a continuous one-parameter semigroup in A. This theorem is used to show that a separable Banach algebra B has a bounded approximate identity bounded by 1 if and only if there is a homomorphism θ from L¹($\text{R}$⁺) into B such that ∥ θ ∥ = 1 and θ(L¹($\text{R}$⁺)). B = B = B · θ(L¹($\text{R}$⁺)). Another corollary is that a separable Banach algebra with bounded approximate identity has a commutative bounded approximate identity, which is bounded by 1 in an equivalent algebra norm.     

WQ*-algebras of measurable operators

Every C*-algebra $\mathfrak{A}$ has a faithful *-representation π in a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ . Consequently it is natural to pose the following question: under which conditions, the completion of a C*-algebra in a weaker than the given one topology, can be realized as a quasi *-algebra of operators? The present paper presents the possibility of extending the well known Gelfand — Naimark representation of C*-algebras to certain Banach C*-modules.     

A Note on Reflexivity

We prove some new results on Hadwin's general version of reflexivity that reduce the study of E-reflexivity (or E-hyperreflexivity) of a linear subspace to a smaller linear subspace. By applying our abstract results, we present a simple proof of D. Hadwin's theorem, which states that every C^∗-algebra is approximately hyperreflexive. We also prove that the image of any C^∗-algebra under any bounded unital homomorphism into the operators on a Banach space is approximately reflexive. We introduce a new version of reflexivity, called approximate algebraic reflexivity, and study its properties.     

HYERS—ULAM—RASSIAS STABILITY OF QUADRATIC FUNCTIONAL EQUATIONS IN BANACH MODULES OVER A C^＊—ALGEBRA

The authors prove the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of the quadratic mapping in Banach modules over a unital C*-algebra, and prove the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of the quadratic mapping in Banach modules over a unital Banach algebra.     

Approximate and pseudo-amenability of various classes of Banach algebras

We continue the investigation of notions of approximate amenability that were introduced in work of the second and third authors together with R.J. Loy. It is shown that every boundedly approximately contractible Banach algebra has a bounded approximate identity, and that the Fourier algebra of the free group on two generators is not operator approximately amenable. Further examples are obtained of ?¹-semigroup algebras which are approximately amenable but not amenable; using these, we show that bounded approximate contractibility need not imply sequential approximate amenability. Results are also given for Segal algebras on locally compact groups, and algebras of p-pseudo-functions on discrete groups.     

BANACH ALGEBRAS WITH LARGE GROUPS OF UNITARY ELEMENTS

We study unitary Banach algebras, as defined by M. L. Hansenand R. V. Kadison in 1996, as well as some related conceptslike maximal or uniquely maximal Banach algebras. We show thata norm-unital Banach algebra is uniquely maximal if and onlyif it is unitary and has minimality of the equivalent norm.We prove that every unitary semisimple commutative complex Banachalgebra has a conjugate-linear involution mapping each unitaryelement to its inverse, and that, endowed with such an involution,becomes a hermitian *-algebra. The possibility of removing therequirement of commutativity in the above statement is alsoconsidered. The paper concludes by translating to real algebrassome results previously known in the complex case. In particular,we show that every maximal semisimple finite-dimensional realBanach algebra is isometrically isomorphic to a real C*-algebra.     

Bounded and Unitary Elements in Pro-C*-algebras

A pro-C*-algebra is a (projective) limit of C*-algebras in the category of topological *-algebras. From the perspective of non-commutative geometry, pro-C*-algebras can be seen as non-commutative k-spaces. An element of a pro-C*-algebra is bounded if there is a uniform bound for the norm of its images under any continuous *-homomorphism into a C*-algebra. The *-subalgebra consisting of the bounded elements turns out to be a C*-algebra. In this paper, we investigate pro-C*-algebras from a categorical point of view. We study the functor (−) _b that assigns to a pro-C*-algebra the C*-algebra of its bounded elements, which is the dual of the Stone-Čech-compactification. We show that (−) _b is a coreflector, and it preserves exact sequences. A generalization of the Gelfand duality for commutative unital pro-C*-algebras is also presented.
