Introduction. The purpose of this paper is to study noncommutative C*algebras as Banach spaces. The Gelfand representation of an abelian C*-algebra as the algebra of all continuous complex-valued functions on its spectrum has made it possible to apply the techniques of measure theory and the topological properties of compact Hausdorff spaces to the study of such algebras. No such structure theo...

in this paper, a complete description concerning linear operators of banach spaces with range in lipschitz algebras $lip_al(x)$ is provided. necessary and sufficient conditions are established to ensure boundedness and (weak) compactness of these operators. finally, a lower bound for the essential norm of such operators is obtained.

we investigate the stability of generalizedderivations on banach algebras with a bounded central approximateidentity. we show that every approximate generalized derivation inthe sense of rassias, is an exact generalized derivation. also thestability problem of generalized derivations on the faithful banachalgebras is investigated.

A new class of operator algebras, Kadison-Singer algebras (KS-algebras), is introduced. These highly noncommutative, non-self-adjoint algebras generalize triangular matrix algebras. They are determined by certain minimally generating lattices of projections in the von Neumann algebras corresponding to the commutant of the diagonals of the KS-algebras. A new invariant for the lattices is introdu...

for fr$acute{mathbf{text{e}}}$chet algebras $(a, (p_n))$ and $(b, (q_n))$, a linear map $t:arightarrow b$ is textit{almost multiplicative} with respect to $(p_n)$ and $(q_n)$, if there exists $varepsilongeq 0$ such that $q_n(tab - ta tb)leq varepsilon p_n(a) p_n(b),$ for all $n in mathbb{n}$, $a, b in a$, and it is called textit{weakly almost multiplicative} with respect to $(p_n)$ and $(q_n)$,...
