Let H be a separable complex Hilbert space with orthonormal basis {ei: i ∈ ℕ}, let s be the unilateral shift defined by sei = ei+1 for each i and let K be the algebra of compact operators on H. The present paper classifies the involutory *-anti-automorphisms in the C*-algebra C*(sn, K) generated by K and a positive integral power sn of s. It is shown that, up to conjugacy by *-automorphisms, there are two such involutory *-antiautomorphisms when n is even and one when n is odd.

Let be a fixed separable, infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space, and let () denote the algebra of all (bounded, linear) operators on . The ideal of all compact operators on will be denoted by and the canonical quotient map from () onto the Calkin algebra ()/ will be denoted by π.Some open problems in the theory of extensions of C*-algebras (cf. [1]) have recently motivated an increasing interest in the class of all operators in () whose self-commuta tor is compact.

The Ideal

An operator T on a complex Hilbert space is d-symmetric if , where is the uniform closure of the range of the derivation operator δT(X)=TX−XT. It is shown that if the commutator ideal of the inclusion algebra for a d-symmetric operator is the ideal of all compact operators then T has countable spectrum and T is a quasidiagonal operator. It is also shown that if for a d-symmetric operator I(T) is the double commutant of T then T is diagonal.

The purpose of the present note is to answer the following question of T. A. Gillespie,learned from G. J. Murphy [4]: for which sequences{an} of complex numbers does there exist a quasinilpotent operator Q on a (separable, infinite-dimensional, complex) Hilbert space H, which has{an} as a diagonal, that is (Qen,en)=n for some orthonormal basis{en} in H?

AbstractLet r(T) denote the spectral radius of the operator T acting on a complex Hilbert space H. Let S be a multiplicative semigroup of operators on H. We say that r is permutable on 𝓢 if r(ABC) = r(BAC), for every A,B,C ∈ 𝓢. We say that r is submultiplicative on 𝓢 if r(AB) ≤ r(A)r(B), for every A, B ∈ 𝓢. It is known that, if r is permutable on 𝓢, then it is submultiplicative. We show that the converse holds in each of the following cases: (i) 𝓢 consists of compact operators (ii) 𝓢 consists of normal operators (iii) 𝓢 is generated by orthogonal projections.

Essentially Normal

Let H be a separable complex Hilbert space and let B(H) denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. Let π be the quotient mapping from B(H) onto the Calkin algebra B(H)/K(H), where K(H) denotes all compact operators on B(H). An operator T ∈ B(H) is said to be convexoid[14] if the closure of its numerical range W(T) coincides with the convex hull co σ(T) of its spectrum σ(T). T ∈ B(H) is said to be essentially normal, essentially G1, or essentially convexoid if π(T) is normal, G1 or convexoid in B(H)/K(H) respectively.

This paper is a continuation of [3] in which some inequalities for the Schatten p-norm were considered. The purpose of the present paper is to improve some inequalities in [3] as well as to give more inequalities in the same spirit.Let H be a separable, infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space, and let B(H) denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators acting on H. Let K(H) denote the closed two-sided ideal of compact operators on H. For any compact operator A, let |A| = (A*A)½ and s1(A), s2(A),… be the eigenvalues of |A| in decreasing order and repeated according to multiplicity. A compact operator A is said to be in the Schatten p-class Cp(1 ≤ p < ∞), if Σ s1(A)p < ∞. The Schatten p-norm of A is defined by ∥A∥p = (Σ si(A)p)1/p. This norm makes Cp into a Banach space. Hence C1 is the trace class and C2 is the Hilbert-Schmidt class. It is reasonable to let C∞ denote the ideal of compact operators K(H), and ∥.∥∞ stand for the usual operator norm.

Let H be a separable, infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space, and let B(H) denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. Let K(H) denote the ideal of compact operators on H. For any compact operator A let |A|=(A*A)1,2 and S1(A), s2(A),… be the eigenvalues of |A| in decreasing order and repeatedaccording to multiplicity. If, for some 1<p<∞, si(A)p <∞, we say that A is in the Schatten p-class Cp and ∥A∥p=1/p is the p-norm of A. Hence, C1 is the trace class, C2 is the Hilbert–Schmidt class, and C∞ is the ideal of compact operators K(H).

Simultaneous Triangularization

AbstractIf A is a norm closed algebra of compact operators on a Hilbert space and if its Jacobson radical J(A) consists of all quasinilpotent operators in A then A/ J(A) is commutative. The result is not valid for a general algebra of polynomially compact operators.
