Finite Sums of Commutators
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that elements of unital C-algebras without tracial states are finite sums of commutators. Moreover, the number of commutators involved is bounded, depending only on the given C-algebra.

Spectral Characterization of Sums of Commutators Ii
For countably generated ideals, J , of B(H), geometric stability is necessary for the canonical spectral characterization of sums of (J ; B(H)){commutators to hold. This answers a question raised by Dykema, Figiel, Weiss and Wodzicki. There are some ideals, J , having quasi{nilpotent elements that are not sums of (J ; B(H)){commutators. Also, every trace on every geometrically stable ideal is a...

For countably generated ideals, J , of B(H), geometric stability is necessary for the canonical spectral characterization of sums of (J , B(H))–commutators to hold. This answers a question raised by Dykema, Figiel, Weiss and Wodzicki. There are some ideals, J , having quasi–nilpotent elements that are not sums of (J , B(H))–commutators. Also, every trace on every geometrically stable ideal is a...
متن کاملSpecial Subgroups of Gyrogroups: Commutators, Nuclei and Radical
A gyrogroup is a nonassociative group-like structure modelled on the space of relativistically admissible velocities with a binary operation given by Einstein's velocity addition law. In this article, we present a few of groups sitting inside a gyrogroup G, including the commutator subgyrogroup, the left nucleus, and the radical of G. The normal closure of the commutator subgyr...
متن کاملTrace-positive polynomials, sums of hermitian squares and the tracial moment problem
A polynomial f in non-commuting variables is trace-positive if the trace of f(A) is positive for all tuples A of symmetric matrices of the same size. The investigation of trace-positive polynomials and of the question of when they can be written as a sum of hermitian squares and commutators of polynomials are motivated by their connection to two famous conjectures: The BMV conjecture from stati...
متن کاملAlgorithmic aspects of sums of Hermitian squares of noncommutative polynomials
This paper presents an algorithm and its implementation in the software package NCSOStools for finding sums of hermitian squares and commutators decompositions for polynomials in noncommuting variables. The algorithm is based on noncommutative analogs of the classical Gram matrix method and the Newton polytope method, which allows us to use semidefinite programming. Throughout the paper several...
