Let B(X) denote the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Banach space X. Let t be an element of B(X), and let edenote the identity operator on X. Since the earliest days of the theory of Banach algebras, ithas been understood that the natural setting within which to study spectral properties of t is the Banach algebra B(X), or perhaps a closed subalgebra of B(X) containing t and e. The effective application of this method to a given class of operators depends upon first translating the data into terms involving only the Banach algebra structure of B(X) without reference to the underlying space X. In particular, the appropriate topology is the norm topology in B(X) given by the usual operator norm. Theorem 1 carries out this translation for the class of compact operators t. It is proved that if t is compact, then multiplication by t is a compact linear operator on the closed subalgebra of B(X) consisting of operators that commute with t.

AbstractA recent result of Leung (Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 2015) states that the Banach algebra ℬ(X) of bounded, linear operators on the Banach space X = (⊕n∈$\mathbb{N}$ ℓ∞n)ℓ1 contains a unique maximal ideal. We show that the same conclusion holds true for the Banach spaces X = (⊕n∈$\mathbb{N}$ ℓ∞n)ℓp and X = (⊕n∈$\mathbb{N}$ ℓ1n)ℓp whenever p ∈ (1, ∞).

Throughout this paper, we suppose that T and R are continuous linear operators on the Banach spaces X and Y, respectively. One of the basic problems in the theory of automatic continuity is the determination of conditions under which a linear transformation S: X → Y which satisfies RS = ST is continuous or is discontinuous. Johnson and Sinclair [4], [6], [11; pp. 24–30] have given a variety of conditions on R and T which guarantee that all such S are automatically continuous. In this paper we consider the converse problem and find conditions on the range S(X) which guarantee that S is automatically discontinuous. The construction of such automatically discontinuous S is then accomplished by a simple modification of a technique of Sinclair's [10; pp. 260–261], [11; pp. 21–23].

AbstractThe paper [3] proved a necessary algebraic condition for a Banach algebra A with finite-dimensional radical R to have a unique complete (algebra) norm, and conjectured that this condition is also sufficient. We extend the above theorem. The conjecture is confirmed in the case where A is separable and A/R is commutative, but is shown to fail in general. Similar questions for derivations are discussed.

Many results concerning the automatic continuity of linear functions intertwining continuous linear operators on Banach spaces have been obtained, chiefly by B. E. Johnson and A. M. Sinclair [1; 2; 3; 5]. The purpose of this paper is essentially to extend this automatic continuity theory to the situation of Fréchet spaces. Our motive is partly to be able to handle the more general situation, since for example, questions about Fréchet spaces and LF spaces arise in connection with the functional calculus.

Let H be a Hilbert space and let B denote the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on H with K denoting the closed ideal of compact operators in B. If T ∈ B, σ(T) and r(T) will denote the spectrum and spectral radius of T, respectively, and π the canonical mapping of B onto the Calkin algebra B/K.

AbstractWe introduce the concept of a rare element in a non-associative normed algebra and show that the existence of such an element is the only obstruction to continuity of a surjective homomorphism from a non-associative Banach algebra to a unital normed algebra with simple completion. Unital associative algebras do not admit any rare elements, and hence automatic continuity holds.
