Completely continuous Banach algebras

Completely Continuous Banach Algebras

For a Banach algebra $fA$, we introduce ~$c.c(fA)$, the set of all $phiin fA^*$ such that $theta_phi:fAto fA^*$ is a completely continuous operator, where $theta_phi$ is defined by $theta_phi(a)=acdotphi$~~ for all $ain fA$. We call $fA$, a completely continuous Banach algebra if $c.c(fA)=fA^*$. We give some examples of completely continuous Banach algebras and a suffici...

Weak* Continuous States on Banach Algebras

We prove that if a unital Banach algebra A is the dual of a Banach space A♯, then the set of weak* continuous states is weak* dense in the set of all states on A. Further, weak* continuous states linearly span A♯.

amenability of banach algebras

chapters 1 and 2 establish the basic theory of amenability of topological groups and amenability of banach algebras. also we prove that. if g is a topological group, then r (wluc (g)) (resp. r (luc (g))) if and only if there exists a mean m on wluc (g) (resp. luc (g)) such that for every wluc (g) (resp. every luc (g)) and every element d of a dense subset d od g, m (r)m (f) holds. chapter 3 inv...

Completely continuous endomorphisms of p-adic Banach spaces

In Dwork’s memoir [3] concerning the rationality of zeta functions, an essential role is played by the p-adic analytic function det(1− tu), where u is a certain infinite matrix. This analytic function is an entire function, exactly as in the classical Fredholm theory. It was natural to pursue this analogy and extend to u the spectral theory of F. Riesz; this is just what Dwork did ([4], §2). In...

Banach Algebras

The aim of this notes is to provide basic information about commutative Banach algebras. The final goal is to show that a unital, commutative complex Banach algebra A can be embedded as subalgebra of C(MA), the algebra of continuous functions on a w∗-compact setMA, known as the maximal ideal space or character space. Also, the non unital commutative complex Banach algebra can be embedded as a s...
