One of the recent advances in Functional Analysis has been the introduction of the notion of an (abstract) operator space. Proponents of this theory have, since its inception, maintained that it provides a much more solid " foundations " for Operator Algebra than the more traditional theory of Banach spaces. In this paper, we show that there exists a (non-trivial) involutive monoidal structure ...

In this paper, first we define the notion of involutive operator on bounded involutive equality algebras and by using it, we introduce a new class of equality algebras that we called it a tense like equality algebra. Then we investigate some properties of tense like equality algebra. For two involutive bounded equality algebras and an equality homomorphism between them, we prove that the tense ...

Two Banach algebras are naturally associated with a locally compact group G: the group algebra, L,(G), and the measure algebra, M(G). For these two Banach algebras we determine all isometric involutions. Each of these Banach algebras has a natural involution. We will show that an isometric involution, (*), is the natural involution on £'(<?) if and only if the closure in the strict topology of ...

We define the spectral radius and Ptak’s function on a quotient involutive Banach algebra and we extend certains results of V.Ptak to thes quotients. As an application of functional harmonic calculus we obtain theorem similar to those of K.Fan and Von Neumann.

We use the Poisson integral formula in order to establish harmonic functional calculus for quotient involutive Banach algebras. We give several properties of this functional calculus. L.Waelbroeck’s holomorphic functional calculus is a special case of ours. We use our harmonic functional calculus to extend result of J.W.M.Ford to quotient involutive Banach algebras.

We show that certain dense and spectral invariant subalgebras of a C *-algebra have the same bilateral Bass stable rank. This is a partial answer for (a version of) an open problem raised by R.G. Swan. Then, for certain Banach algebras, we indicate when the homotopy groups π i (GL n (A)) stabilize for large n. This is an improvement of a result due to G. Corach and A. Larotonda. Using some resu...

let a be a banach algebra and e be a banach a-bimodule then s = a  e, the l1-direct sum of a and e becomes a module extension banach algebra when equipped with the algebras product (a; x):(a′; x′) = (aa′; a:x′ + x:a′). in this paper, we investigate △-amenability for these banach algebras and we show that for discrete inverse semigroup s with the set of idempotents es, the module extension bana...
