Completely continuous operators Let A be a Banach algebra with |A| % {1}, where A := {a ∈ A : |ab| = |a| |b| for all b ∈ A} is the set of all multiplicative units in A (equivalently, A = {a ∈ A : |a| |a| = 1}). Then for any Banach modules M,N over A, an A-linear map L : M → N is continuous iff supm6=0 |L(m)| |m| < ∞. Let BA(M,N) be the space of such maps. With the norm |L| := supm6=0 |L(m)| |m|...

We investigate some subtle and interesting phenomena in the du-ality theory of operator spaces and operator algebras. In particular, we give several applications of operator space theory, based on the surprising fact that certain maps are always weak *-continuous on dual operator spaces. For example , if X is a subspace of a C *-algebra A, and if a ∈ A satisfies aX ⊂ X and a * X ⊂ X, and if X i...

We give a new Banach module characterization of W *-modules, also known as selfdual Hilbert C *-modules over a von Neumann algebra. This leads to a generalization of the notion, and the theory, of W *-modules, to the setting where the operator algebras are σ-weakly closed algebras of operators on a Hilbert space. That is, we find the appropriate weak* topology variant of our earlier notion of r...

‎Let $mathcal{A}$ be a commutative Banach algebra and $mathscr{X}$ be a left Banach $mathcal{A}$-module‎. ‎We study the set‎ ‎${rm Dec}_{mathcal{A}}(mathscr{X})$ of all elements in $mathcal{A}$ which induce a decomposable multiplication operator on $mathscr{X}$‎. ‎In the case $mathscr{X}=mathcal{A}$‎, ‎${rm Dec}_{mathcal{A}}(mathcal{A})$ is the well-known Apostol algebra of $mathcal{A}$‎. ‎We s...

Berger and Colmez introduced a theory of families of overconvergent étale (φ,Γ)-modules associated to families of p-adic Galois representations over p-adic Banach algebras. However, in contrast with the classical theory of (φ,Γ)-modules, the functor they obtain is not an equivalence of categories. In this paper, we prove that when the base is an affinoid space, every family of (overconvergent) ...

Let M be a Banach C*-module over a C*-algebra A carrying two A-valued inner products 〈., .〉1, 〈., .〉2 which induce equivalent to the given one norms on M. Then the appropriate unital C*-algebras of adjointable bounded A-linear operators on the Hilbert A-modules {M, 〈., .〉1} and {M, 〈., .〉2} are shown to be ∗-isomorphic if and only if there exists a bounded A-linear isomorphism S of these two Hi...

We use persistence modules and their corresponding barcodes to quantitatively distinguish between different fiberwise star-shaped domains in the cotangent bundle of a fixed manifold. The distance two is measured by nonlinear version classical Banach–Mazur distance, called symplectic denoted [Formula: see text]. relevant come from filtered homology are stable with respect Our main focus on space...
