In 1943 Gelfand and Neumark (3) characterized uniformly closed self-adjoint algebras of bounded operators on a Hilbert space as Banach algebras with an involution (a conjugate linear anti-isomorphism of period two) satisfying several additional conditions. The main purpose of this paper is to point out that if we consider algebras of bounded operators on complex Banach spaces more general than Hilbert space, then we can represent a larger class of algebras by essentially the same methods.

The theory of *-representations of Banach *-algebras on Hilbert space is one of the most useful and most successful parts of the theory of Banach algebras. However, there are only scattered results concerning the representations of general Banach algebras on Banach spaces. It may be that a comprehensive representation theory is impossible. Nevertheless, for some special algebras interesting and worthwhile results can be proved. This is true for (Y), the algebra of all bounded operators on a Banach space Y, and for (Y), the subalgebra of (Y) consisting of operators with finite dimensional range. The representations of (Y) are studied in a recent paper by H. Porta and E. Berkson (6), and in another recent paper (8), P. Chernoff determines the structure of the representations of (Y) (and also of some more general algebras of operators). In both these papers, (Y), which is the socle of the algebras under consideration, plays an important role in the theory. This suggests the possibility that a more general representation theory can be formulated in the case of a normed algebra with a nontrivial socle. This we attempt to do in this paper.

The theory of noncommutative involutive Banach algebras (briefly Banach *-algebras) owes its origin to Gelfand and Naimark, who proved in 1943 the fundamental representation theorem that a Banach *-algebra with C*-condition(C*)is *-isomorphic and isometric to a norm-closed self-adjoint subalgebra of all bounded operators on a suitable Hilbert space.At the same time they conjectured that the C*-condition can be replaced by the B*-condition.(B*)In other words any B*-algebra is actually a C*-algebra. This was shown by Glimm and Kadison [5] in 1960.

Abstract Given Banach spaces X and Y, we ask about the dual space of the 𝒧(X, Y). This paper surveys results on tensor products of Banach spaces with the main objective of describing the dual of spaces of bounded operators. In several cases and under a variety of assumptions on X and Y, the answer can best be given as the projective tensor product of X ** and Y *.

Open Problems

In this paper we adopt the notion of orthogonality in Banach spaces introduced by the author in [6]. There, the author showed that in any two-dimensional subspace F of E, every nonzero element admits at most one orthogonal direction. The problem of existence of such orthogonal direction was not addressed before. Our main purpose in this paper is the investigation of this problem in the case where E is a real Banach space. As a result we obtain a characterisation of Hilbert spaces stating that, if in every two-dimensional subspace F of E every nonzero element admits an orthogonal direction, then E is isometric to a Hilbert space. We conclude by presenting some open problems.

AbstractLet K be any compact set. The C*-algebra C(K) is nuclear and any bounded homomorphism from C(K) into B(H), the algebra of all bounded operators on some Hilbert space H, is automatically completely bounded. We prove extensions of these results to the Banach space setting, using the key concept ofR-boundedness. Then we apply these results to operators with a uniformly bounded H∞-calculus, as well as to unconditionality on Lp. We show that any unconditional basis on Lp ‘is’ an unconditional basis on L2 after an appropriate change of density.

Abstract. The space now known as complete Erdős space was introduced by Paul Erdős in 1940 as the closed subspace of the Hilbert space ℓ2 consisting of all vectors such that every coordinate is in the convergent sequence ﹛0﹜ ∪ ﹛1/n : n ∈ℕ﹜. In a solution to a problem posed by Lex G. Oversteegen we present simple and useful topological characterizations of . As an application we determine the class of factors of . In another application we determine precisely which of the spaces that can be constructed in the Banach spaces ℓp according to the ‘Erdős method’ are homeomorphic to . A novel application states that if I is a Polishable Fσ-ideal on ω, then I with the Polish topology is homeomorphic to either ℤ, the Cantor set 2ω, ℤ × 2ω, or . This last result answers a question that was asked by Stevo Todorčević.

Many commutative semisimple Banach algebras B including B = C (X), X compact, and B = L1 (G), G locally compact, have the property that every homomorphism from B into C1[0, 1] is compact. In this paper we consider this property for uniform algebras. Several examples of homomorphisms from somewhat complicated algebras of analytic functions to C1[0, 1] are shown to be compact. This, together with the fact that every homomorphism from the disc algebra and from the algebra H∞ (∆), ∆ = unit disc, to C1[0, 1] is compact, led to the conjecture that perhaps every homomorphism from a uniform algebra into C1[0, 1] is compact. The main result to which we devote the second half of this paper, is to construct a compact Hausdorff space X, a uniformly closed subalgebra [Formula: see text] of C (X), and an arc ϕ: [0, 1] → X such that the transformation T defined by Tf = f ◦ ϕ is a (bounded) homomorphism of [Formula: see text] into C1[0, 1] which is not compact.

It is our purpose in this paper to prove some fixed point results and Fej´er monotonicity of some faster fixed point iterative sequences generated by some nonlinear operators satisfying rational inequality in complex valued Banach spaces. We prove that results in complex valued Banach spaces are valid in cone metric spaces with Banach algebras. Furthermore, we apply our results in solving certain mixed type VolterraFredholm functional nonlinear integral equation in complex valued Banach spaces.
