Let B(X) denote the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Banach space X. Let t be an element of B(X), and let edenote the identity operator on X. Since the earliest days of the theory of Banach algebras, ithas been understood that the natural setting within which to study spectral properties of t is the Banach algebra B(X), or perhaps a closed subalgebra of B(X) containing t and e. The effective application of this method to a given class of operators depends upon first translating the data into terms involving only the Banach algebra structure of B(X) without reference to the underlying space X. In particular, the appropriate topology is the norm topology in B(X) given by the usual operator norm. Theorem 1 carries out this translation for the class of compact operators t. It is proved that if t is compact, then multiplication by t is a compact linear operator on the closed subalgebra of B(X) consisting of operators that commute with t.

1. Introduction. Let X be a complex Banach space and let (X) denote the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on X. In this paper we study subalgebras of (X) that contain non-zero compact operators and that are Banach algebras with respect to some norm dominating the operator norm. Our main aim is to give conditions for the existence of minimal one-sided ideals in . Barnes ((l) Theorem 2·2) has shown that if every element of a semi-simple Banach algebra has countable spectrum then the algebra has minimal one-sided ideals. If, in particular, is a uniformly closed sub-algebra of the compact operators on X, then every element of has countable spectrum by the Riesz–Schauder theory and so has minimal one-sided ideals. We extend this latter result by showing that if is a semi-simple uniformly closed subalgebra of (X) that contains some non-zero compact operator, then has minimal one-sided ideals. The proof depends heavily on the fact (see e.g. Bonsall (3)) that the spectral projection at a non-zero eigenvalue of a compact operator T belongs to the least closed subalgebra of (X) that contains T. The uniform norm is quite critical for Bonsall's result, but we are able to give a mild generalization which leads to conditions for the existence of minimal one-sided ideals in subalgebras of (X, Y,〈,〉) where (X, Y,〈,〉) are Banach spaces in normed duality.

We recall the definition and properties of an algebra cone C of a complex unital Banach algebra A. It can be shown that C induces on A an ordering which is compatible with the algebraic structure of A, and A is then called an ordered Banach algebra. The Banach algebra ℒ(E) of all bounded linear operators on a complex Banach lattice E is an example of an ordered Banach algebra, and an interesting aspect of research in ordered Banach algebras is that of investigating in an ordered Banach algebra-context certain problems that originated in ℒ(E). In this paper we investigate the problems of providing conditions under which (1) a positive element a with spectrum consisting of 1 only will necessarily be greater than or equal to 1, and (2) f (a) will be positive if a is positive, where f (a) is the element defined by the holomorphic functional calculus.

AbstractA recent result of Leung (Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 2015) states that the Banach algebra ℬ(X) of bounded, linear operators on the Banach space X = (⊕n∈$\mathbb{N}$ ℓ∞n)ℓ1 contains a unique maximal ideal. We show that the same conclusion holds true for the Banach spaces X = (⊕n∈$\mathbb{N}$ ℓ∞n)ℓp and X = (⊕n∈$\mathbb{N}$ ℓ1n)ℓp whenever p ∈ (1, ∞).

In what follows, B(H) will denote the C*-algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H. Suppose we are given a C*-subalgebra A of B(H), which we shall suppose contains the identity operator 1. We are concerned with the existence of states f of B(H) which satisfy the following trace-like relation relative to A:Our first result shows the existence of states f satisfying (*), when A is the C*-algebra C*(x) generated by a normaloid operator × and the identity. This allows us to give simple proofs of some well-known results in operator theory. Recall that an operator × is normaloid if its operator norm equals its spectral radius.

Let H be a Hilbert space and let B denote the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on H with K denoting the closed ideal of compact operators in B. If T ∈ B, σ(T) and r(T) will denote the spectrum and spectral radius of T, respectively, and π the canonical mapping of B onto the Calkin algebra B/K.

The present paper is devoted to 2-local derivations. In 1997, P. Semrl introduced the notion of 2-local derivations and described 2-local derivations on the algebra B(H) of all bounded linear operators on the infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space H. After this, a number of paper were devoted to 2-local maps on different types of rings, algebras, Banach algebras and Banach spaces. A similar description for the finite-dimensional case appeared later in the paper of S. O. Kim and J. S. Kim. Y. Lin and T. Wong described 2-local derivations on matrix algebras over a finite-dimensional division ring. Sh. A. Ayupov and K. K. Kudaybergenov suggested a new technique and have generalized the above mentioned results for arbitrary Hilbert spaces. Namely they considered 2-local derivations on the algebra B(H) of all linear bounded operators on an arbitrary Hilbert space H and proved that every 2-local derivation on B(H) is a derivation. Then there appeared several papers dealing with 2-local derivations on associative algebras. In the present paper 2-lo\-cal derivations on various algebras of infinite dimensional matrix-valued functions on a compactum are described. We develop an algebraic approach to investigation of derivations and \mbox{2-local} derivations on algebras of infinite dimensional matrix-valued functions on a compactum and prove that every such 2-local derivation is a derivation. As the main result of the paper it is established that every \mbox{2-local} derivation on a ∗-algebra C(Q,Mn(F)) or C(Q,Nn(F)), where Q is a compactum, Mn(F) is the ∗-algebra of infinite dimensional matrices over complex numbers (real numbers or quaternoins) defined in section 1, Nn(F) is the ∗-subalgebra of Mn(F) defined in section 2, is a derivation. Also we explain that the method developed in the paper can be applied to Jordan and Lie algebras of infinite dimensional matrix-valued functions on a compactum.

Operator functions e^A, sin B, cos B of the operator argument from the Banach algebra of bounded linear operators acting from E to E are considered in the Banach space E . For trigonometric operator functions sin B, cos B, formulas for the sine and cosine of the sum of the arguments are derived that are similar to the scalar case. In the proof of these formulas, the composition of ranges with operator terms in the form of Cauchy is used. The basic operator trigonometric identity is given. For a complex operator exponential function e^Z of an operator argument Z from the Banach algebra of complex operators, using the formulas for the cosine and sine of the sum, the main property of the exponential function is proved. Operator functions e^At , sin Bt, cos Bt, e^Zt of a real argument t∈(-∞;∞) are considered. The facts stated for the operator functions of the operator argument are transferred to these functions. In particular, the group property of the operator exponent e^Zt is given. The rule of differentiation of the function e^Zt is indicated. It is noted that the operator functions of the real argument t listed above are used in constructing a general solution of a linear n th order differential equation with constant bounded operator coefficients in a Banach space.

Let X be a Banach space and L(X) the Banach algebra of bounded linear operators on X. An operator T in L(X) is hermitian if ∥eitT∥ = 1 (t ∈ R), and is normal if T = R + iJ where R and J are commuting normal operators; R and J are then determined uniquely by T, and we may write T* = R–iJ. These definitions extend those for operators on Hilbert spaces. More details may be found in [1].

We continue the research on reiteration results between interpolation methods associated to polygons and the real method. Applications are given to N-tuples of function spaces, of spaces of bounded linear operators and Banach algebras.
