Weighted composition operators and locally convex algebras

The Gleason-Kahane-Zelazko theorem characterizes the continuous homomorphism of an associative, locally multiplicatively convex, sequentially complete algebra A into the field ? among all linear forms on A. This characterization will be applied along two different directions. In the case in which A is a commutative Banach algebra, the theorem yields the representation of some classes of continuous linear maps A : A→ A as weighted composition operators, or as composition operators when A is a continuous algebra endomorphism. The theorem will then be applied to explore the behaviour of continuous linear forms on quasi-regular elements, when A is either the algebra of all Hilbert-Schmidt operators or a Hilbert algebra.     

Weighted composition operators and the Gleason-Kahane-Zelazko theorem

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate extensions of the Banach-Stone theorem and of the Holsztynski theorem to some locally multiplicatively convex associative algebras. The proofs are based on a generalization of a theorem, due to A. Gleason, J.-P. Kahane and W. Zelazko, characterizing continuous characters of a unital associative Banach algebra among all its linear forms.     

Deformation in locally convex topological linear spaces

We are concerned with a deformation theory in locally convex topological linear spaces. A special "nice" partition of unity is given. This enables us to construct certain vector fields which are locally Lipschitz continuous with respect to the locally convex topology. The existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence of flows associated to the vector fields are established. Deformations related to strongly indefinite functionals are then obtained. Finally, as applications, we prove some abstract critical point theorems.     

The sets of monomorphisms and of almost open operators between locally convex spaces

If the set of monomorphisms between locally convex spaces is not empty, then it is an open subset of the space of all continuous and linear operators endowed with the topology of the uniform convergence on the bounded sets if and only if the domain space is normable. The corresponding characterization for the set of almost open operators is also obtained; it is related to the lifting of bounded sets and to the quasinormability of the domain space. Other properties and examples are analyzed.

     

A uniform boundedness theorem for locally convex cones

We prove a uniform boundedness theorem for families of linear operators on ordered cones. Using the concept of locally convex cones we introduce the notions of barreled cones and of weak cone-completeness. Our main result, though no straightforward generalization of the classical case, implies the Uniform Boundedness Theorem for Fréchet spaces.

     

A note on the duality mapping of a locally uniformly convex Banach space

Let X be a real locally uniformly convex Banach space with normalized duality mapping J:X→2^X*. The purpose of this note is to show that for every R>0 and every x₀X there exists a function , which is nondecreasing and such that (r)>0 for r>0,(0)=0 and

for all . Simply, it is shown that the necessity part of the proof of the original analogous necessary and sufficient condition of Prüß, for real uniformly convex Banach spaces, goes over equally well in the present setting. This is a natural setting for the study of many existence problems in accretive and monotone operator theories.

Comparison between algebraic and topological K-theory of locally convex algebras

This paper is concerned with the algebraic K-theory of locally convex C-algebras stabilized by operator ideals, and its comparison with topological K-theory. We show that if L is locally convex and J a Fréchet operator ideal, then all the different variants of topological K-theory agree on the completed projective tensor product , and that the obstruction for the comparison map to be an isomorphism is (absolute) algebraic cyclic homology. We prove the existence of an exact sequence (Theorem 6.2.1)We show that cyclic homology vanishes in the case when J is the ideal of compact operators and L is a Fréchet algebra whose topology is generated by a countable family of sub-multiplicative seminorms and admits an approximate right or left unit which is totally bounded with respect to that family (Theorem 8.3.3). This proves the generalized version of Karoubi's conjecture due to Mariusz Wodzicki and announced in his paper [M. Wodzicki, Algebraic K-theory and functional analysis, in: First European Congress of Mathematics, Vol. II, Paris, 1992, in: Progr. Math., vol. 120, Birkhäuser, Basel, 1994, pp. 485-496].We also consider stabilization with respect to a wider class of operator ideals, called sub-harmonic. Every Fréchet ideal is sub-harmonic, but not conversely; for example the Schatten ideal Lp is sub-harmonic for all p>0 but is Fréchet only if p?1. We prove a variant of the exact sequence above which essentially says that if A is a C-algebra and J is sub-harmonic, then the obstruction for the periodicity of K_∗(AC_⊗J) is again cyclic homology (Theorem 7.1.1). This generalizes to all algebras a result of Wodzicki for H-unital algebras announced in [M. Wodzicki, Algebraic K-theory and functional analysis, in: First European Congress of Mathematics, Vol. II, Paris, 1992, in: Progr. Math., vol. 120, Birkhäuser, Basel, 1994, pp. 485-496].The main technical tools we use are the diffeotopy invariance theorem of Cuntz and the second author (which we generalize in Theorem 6.1.6), and the excision theorem for infinitesimal K-theory, due to the first author.     

Dissipative operators and additive perturbations in locally convex spaces

Let be a densely defined operator on a Banach space X. Characterizations of when generates a C₀‐semigroup on X are known. The famous result of Lumer and Phillips states that it is so if and only if is dissipative and is dense in X for some . There exists also a rich amount of Banach space results concerning perturbations of dissipative operators. In a recent paper Tyran–Kamińska provides perturbation criteria of dissipative operators in terms of ergodic properties. These results, and others, are shown to remain valid in the setting of general non–normable locally convex spaces. Applications of the results to concrete examples of operators on function spaces are also presented.     

Fourier algebras on locally compact hypergroups

In the present paper we introduce a new definition for the Fourier space A (K) of a locally compact Hausdorff hypergroup K and prove that it is a Banach subspace of B (K). This definition coincides with that of Amini and Medghalchi in the case where K is a tensor hypergroup, and also with that of Vrem which is given only for compact hypergroups. We prove that A_p (K)* = PM_q (K), where q is the exponent conjugate to p, in particular A (K)* = VN (K). Also we show that for Pontryagin hypergroups, A (K) = L²(K) * L²(K) = F (L¹( )), where F stands for the Fourier transform on . Furthermore there is an equivalent norm on A (K) which makes A (K) into a Banach algebra isomorphic with L¹( ). (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Derivations of generalized Weyl algebras

A class of the associative and Lie algebras A[D] = A F[D] of Weyl type are studied, where A is a commutative associative algebra with an identity element over a field F of characteristic zero, and F[D] is the polynomial algebra of a finite dimensional commutative subalgebra of locally finite derivations of A such that A is D-simple. The derivations of these associative and Lie algebras are precisely determined.     

Noninvertibility preservers on Banach algebras

On the random conjugate spaces of a random locally convex module

Theoretically speaking, there are four kinds of possibilities to define the random conjugate space of a random locally convex module. The purpose of this paper is to prove that among the four kinds there are only two which are universally suitable for the current development of the theory of random conjugate spaces. In this process, we also obtain a somewhat surprising and crucial result: if the base (Ω, F , P ) of a random normed module is nonatomic then the random normed module is a totally disconnected topological space when it is endowed with the locally L0 -convex topology.     

Riemann type integrals for functions taking values in a locally convex space

A RANDOM FIXED POINT ITERATION FOR THREE RANDOM OPERATORS ON UNIFORMLY CONVEX BANACH SPACES

In the present paper we introduce a random iteration scheme for three random operators defined on a closed and convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space and prove its convergence to a common fixed point of three random operators. The result is also an extersion of a known theorem in the corresponding non-random case.
