Elements in a Commutative Banach Algebra Determining the Norm Topology

For an element a of a commutative complex Banach algebra (A, ‖ · ‖) we investigate the following property: every complete norm | · | on A making the multiplication by a from (A, | · |) to itself continuous is equivalent to ‖ · ‖.

Unbounded Norm Topology in Banach Lattices

A net (xα) in a Banach lattice X is said to un-converge to a vector x if ∥∥|xα−x|∧u∥∥→ 0 for every u ∈ X+. In this paper, we investigate un-topology, i.e., the topology that corresponds to un-convergence. We show that un-topology agrees with the norm topology iff X has a strong unit. Un-topology is metrizable iff X has a quasi-interior point. Suppose that X is order continuous, then un-topology...

Invariant elements in the dual Steenrod algebra

‎In this paper‎, ‎we investigate the invariant elements of the dual mod $p$ Steenrod subalgebra ${mathcal{A}_p}^*$ under the conjugation map $chi$ and give bounds on the dimensions of $(chi-1)({mathcal{A}_p}^*)_d$‎, ‎where $({mathcal{A}_p}^*)_d$ is the dimension of ${mathcal{A}_p}^*$ in degree $d$‎.

On the Existence of an Absolutely Minimal Norm in a Banach Algebra

1. The norm || • || in a Banach algebra A is said to be minimal [l ] if, given any other norm || •||1 in A (with respect to which A need not be complete), the condition ||a||iá||a|| for each oG^4 implies that ||a[|i = ||a||. We shall say that || •|| is absolutely minimal if, given any other norm ||-||i whatever in A, then ||a||iè||a|| for each aEA. An absolutely minimal norm is of course minima...
