Unless we say otherwise, every vector space we talk about is taken to be over C. A Banach algebra is a Banach space A that is also an algebra satisfying ‖AB‖ ≤ ‖A‖ ‖B‖ for A,B ∈ A. We say that A is unital if there is a nonzero element I ∈ A such that AI = A and IA = A for all A ∈ A, called a identity element. If X is a Banach space, let B(X) denote the set of bounded linear operators X → X, and...

This paper continues the investigation of the rst author begun in part one. The hereditary properties of n-homomorphism amenability for Banach algebras are investigated and the relations between n-homomorphism amenability of a Banach algebra and its ideals are found. Analogous to the character amenability, it is shown that the tensor product of two unital Banach algebras is n-homomorphism amena...

We study the range transformations 0p(/fD, Reß) and Op(/fD, B) for Banach function algebras A and B. As a special instance, the harmonicity of functions in Op(/fD, Re A) for a nontrivial function algebra A is established and is compared with previous investigations of Op( An, A) and Op((Re/l);, (Re/1)) for an interval /. In §2 we present some results on Op(AD, B) and use them to show that funct...

Let X be an infinite-dimensional separable real or complex Banach space and A a closed standard operator algebra on X. Then every local automorphism of A is an automorphism. The assumptions of infinitedimensionality, separability, and closeness are all indispensable.

Let AI, be commutative semlslmple Banach algebras and 1 02 A2 be their projective tensor product. We prove that, if 10 2 is a group algebra (measure algebra) of a locally compact abelian group, then so are A 1 and A2. As a consequence, we prove that, if G is a locally compact abelian group and A is a comutatlve semi-simple Banach algebra, then the Banach algebra LI(G,A) of A-valued Bochner inte...

In this paper, we introduce an algebra of singular integral operators containing Bessel potentials of positive order, and show that the corresponding unital Banach algebra is an inverseclosed Banach subalgebra of B(Lw), the Banach algebra of all bounded operators on the weighted space Lw, for all 1 ≤ q < ∞ and Muckenhoupt Aq-weights w. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000) 47L80, 42B20, 45P...

Let A be a complex Banach algebra. If the spectrum of an invertible element a ∈ A does not separate the plane, then a admits a logarithm. We present two elementary proofs of this classical result which are independent of the holomorphic functional calculus. We also discuss the case of real Banach algebras. As applications, we obtain simple proofs that every invertible matrix over C has a logari...

for two algebras $a$ and $b$, a linear map $t:a longrightarrow b$ is called separating, if $xcdot y=0$ implies $txcdot ty=0$ for all $x,yin a$. the general form and the automatic continuity of separating maps between various banach algebras have been studied extensively. in this paper, we first extend the notion of separating map for module case and then we give a description of a linear separa...

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra, $\Omega(A)$ be the character space of $A$ and $\alpha\in\Omega(A)$. In this paper, we examine the characteristics of $\alpha$-projective (injective) $A$-modules and demonstrate that these character-based $A$-modules also satisfy well-known classical homological properties on Banach $A$-modules.

In this paper we show that if A is a unital Banach algebra and B is a purely innite C*-algebra such that has a non-zero commutative maximal ideal and $phi:A rightarrow B$ is a unital surjective spectrum preserving linear map. Then $phi$ is a Jordan homomorphism.
