In this paper, we prove the following result by perturbation technique. If q is a quasinilpotent element of a Banach algebra and spectrum of p + q for any other quasinilpotent p contains at most n values then q n = 0 . Applications to C* algebras are given.

The theory of noncommutative involutive Banach algebras (briefly Banach *-algebras) owes its origin to Gelfand and Naimark, who proved in 1943 the fundamental representation theorem that a Banach *-algebra with C*-condition(C*)is *-isomorphic and isometric to a norm-closed self-adjoint subalgebra of all bounded operators on a suitable Hilbert space.At the same time they conjectured that the C*-condition can be replaced by the B*-condition.(B*)In other words any B*-algebra is actually a C*-algebra. This was shown by Glimm and Kadison [5] in 1960.

AbstractLet be a unital Banach algebra. Assume that a has a generalized inverse a+. Then is said to be a stable perturbation of a if . In this paper we give various conditions for stable perturbation of a generalized invertible element and show that the equation is closely related to the gap function . These results will be applied to error estimates for perturbations of the Moore-Penrose inverse in C*–algebras and the Drazin inverse in Banach algebras.

A. M. Sinclair has proved that if is a semisimple Banach algebra then every continuous Jordan derivation from into is a derivation ([12, theorem 3·3]; ‘Jordan derivation’ is denned in Section 6 below). If is a Banach -bimodule one can consider Jordan derivations from into and ask whether Sinclair's theorem is still true. More recent work in this area appears in [1]. Simple examples show that it cannot hold for all modules and all semisimple algebras. However, for more restricted classes of algebras, including C*-algebras one does get a positive result and we develop two approaches. The first depends on symmetric amenability, a development of the theory of amenable Banach algebras which we present here for the first time in Sections 2, 3 and 4. A Banach algebra is symmetrically amenable if it has an approximate diagonal consisting of symmetric tensors. Most, but not all, amenable Banach algebras are symmetrically amenable and one can prove results for symmetric amenability similar to those in [8] for amenability. However, unlike amenability, symmetric amenability does not seem to have a concise homological characterisation. One of our results [Theorem 6·2] is that if is symmetrically amenable then every continuous Jordan derivation into an -bimodule is a derivation. Special techniques enable this result to be extended to other algebras, for example all C*-algebras. This approach to Jordan derivations appears in Section 6.

AbstractThe Arens products are the standard way of extending the product from a Banach algebrato its bidual″. Ultrapowers provide another method which is more symmetric, but one that in general will only give a bilinear map, which may not be associative. We show that ifis Arens regular, then there is at least one way to use an ultrapower to recover the Arens product, a result previously known for C*-algebras. Our main tool is a principle of local reflexivity result for modules and algebras.

AbstractWe are concerned here with the development of a more general real case of the classical theorem of Gelfand ([5], 3.1.20), which represents a complex commutative unital Banach algebra as an algebra of continuous functions defined on a compact Hausdorff space.In § 1 we point out that when looking at real algebras there is not always a one-to-one correspondence between the maximal ideals of the algebra B, denoted ℳ, and the set of unital (real) algebra homomorphisms from B into C, denoted by ΦB. This simple point and subsequent observations lead to a theory of representations of real commutative unital Banach algebras where elements are represented as sections of a bundle of real fields associated with the algebra (Theorem 3.5). After establishing this representation theorem, we look into the question of when a real commutative Banach algebra is already complex. There is a natural topological obstruction which we delineate. Theorem 4.8 gives equivalent conditions which determine whether such an algebra is already complex.Finally, in § 5 we abstractly characterize those section algebras which appear as the target algebras for our Gelfand transform. We dub these algebras “almost complex C*- algebras” and provide a natural classification scheme.

Abstract Suppose that is an algebra, σ, τ : → are two linear mappings such that both σ() and τ() are subalgebras of and 𝒳 is a (τ(), σ())-bimodule. A linear mapping D : → 𝒳 is called a (σ, τ)-derivation if D(ab) = D(a) · σ(b) + τ(a) · D(b) (a, b ∈ ). A (σ, τ)-derivation D is called a (σ, τ)-inner derivation if there exists an x ∈ 𝒳 such that D is of the form either or . A Banach algebra is called (σ, τ)-amenable if every (σ, τ)-derivation from into a dual Banach (τ(), σ())-bimodule is (σ, τ)-inner. Studying some general algebraic aspects of (σ, τ)-derivations, we investigate the relation between the amenability and the (σ, τ)-amenability of Banach algebras in the case where σ, τ are homomorphisms. We prove that if 𝔄 is a C*-algebra and σ, τ are *-homomorphisms with ker(σ) = ker(τ), then 𝔄 is (σ, τ)-amenable if and only if σ(𝔄) is amenable.

Abstract Let $(G_1,\omega _1)$ and $(G_2,\omega _2)$ be weighted discrete groups and $0\lt p\leq 1$ . We characterise biseparating bicontinuous algebra isomorphisms on the p-Banach algebra $\ell ^p(G_1,\omega _1)$ . We also characterise bipositive and isometric algebra isomorphisms between the p-Banach algebras $\ell ^p(G_1,\omega _1)$ and $\ell ^p(G_2,\omega _2)$ and isometric algebra isomorphisms between $\ell ^p(S_1,\omega _1)$ and $\ell ^p(S_2,\omega _2)$ , where $(S_1,\omega _1)$ and $(S_2,\omega _2)$ are weighted discrete semigroups.

We prove that each surjective Jordan homomorphism from a Banach algebra [Formula: see text] onto a semiprime commutative Banach algebra [Formula: see text] is a homomorphism, and each 5-Jordan homomorphism from a unital Banach algebra [Formula: see text] into a semisimple commutative Banach algebra [Formula: see text] is a 5-homomorphism.

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.

Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be Banach algebras such that [Formula: see text] is a Banach [Formula: see text]-bimodule with compatible actions. We define the product [Formula: see text], which is a strongly splitting Banach algebra extension of [Formula: see text] by [Formula: see text]. After characterization of the multiplier algebra, topological center, (maximal) ideals and spectrum of [Formula: see text], we restrict our investigation to the study of semisimplicity, regularity, Arens regularity of [Formula: see text] in relation to that of the algebras [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and the action of [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text]. We also compute the first cohomology group [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text] as well as the first-order cyclic cohomology group [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the [Formula: see text]th dual space of [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] itself when [Formula: see text]. These results are not only of interest in their own right, but also they pave the way for obtaining some new results for Lau products and module extensions of Banach algebras as well as triangular Banach algebra. Finally, special attention is devoted to the cyclic and [Formula: see text]-weak amenability of [Formula: see text]. In this context, several open questions arise.
