Abstract:
We determine the largest positive number with the property that whenever are endomorphisms, respectively unital isometries of the algebra of all bounded linear operators acting on a separable Hilbert space, holds for every nonzero and is surjective, then so is . It turns out that in the first case we have , while in the second one .
