Operator Algebras with Unique Preduals

چکیده
We show that every free semigroup algebras has a (strongly) unique Banach space predual. We also provide a new simpler proof that a weak-∗ closed unital operator operator algebra containing a weak-∗ dense subalgebra of compact operators has a unique Banach space predual.

weak-topology on certain group algebras
We investigate possible preduals of the measure algebra M(G) of a locally compact group and the Fourier algebra A(G) of a separable compact group. Both of these algebras are canonically dual spaces and the canonical preduals make the multiplication separately weak∗-continuous so that these algebras are dual Banach algebras. In this paper we find additional conditions under which the preduals C0...
متن کاملA separable L-embedded Banach space has property (X) and is therefore the unique predual of its dual
We say that a Banach space X is the unique predual of its dual (more precisely the unique isometric predual of its dual) in case it is isometric to any Banach space whose dual is isometric to the dual of X. (We say that two Banach spaces Y and Z are isomorphic if there is a bounded linear bijective operator T : Y → Z with bounded inverse T; if moreover ‖T (y)‖ = ‖y‖ for all y ∈ Y we say that Y ...
متن کاملThe Daugavet Property of C-algebras, Jb-triples, and of Their Isometric Preduals
A Banach space X is said to have the Daugavet property if every rank-one operator T : X −→ X satisfies ‖Id + T ‖ = 1 + ‖T ‖. We give geometric characterizations of this property in the settings of C-algebras, JB-triples and their isometric preduals. We also show that, in these settings, the Daugavet property passes to ultrapowers, and thus, it is equivalent to an stronger property called the un...
متن کاملPreduals of semigroup algebras
For a locally compact group G, the measure convolution algebra M(G) carries a natural coproduct. In previous work, we showed that the canonical predual C0(G) of M(G) is the unique predual which makes both the product and the coproduct on M(G) weak∗-continuous. Given a discrete semigroup S, the convolution algebra l(S) also carries a coproduct. In this paper we examine preduals for l(S) making b...
متن کاملQuasicompact and Riesz unital endomorphisms of real Lipschitz algebras of complex-valued functions
We first show that a bounded linear operator $ T $ on a real Banach space $ E $ is quasicompact (Riesz, respectively) if and only if $T': E_{mathbb{C}}longrightarrow E_{mathbb{C}}$ is quasicompact (Riesz, respectively), where the complex Banach space $E_{mathbb{C}}$ is a suitable complexification of $E$ and $T'$ is the complex linear operator on $E_{mathbb{C}}$ associated with $T$. Next, we pr...
