Bounded elements of C*-inductive locally convex spaces
2013
The notion of bounded element of C*-inductive locally convex spaces (or C*-inductive partial *-algebras) is introduced and discussed in two ways: The first one takes into account the inductive structure provided by certain families of C*-algebras; the second one is linked to the natural order of these spaces. A particular attention is devoted to the relevant instance provided by the space of continuous linear maps acting in a rigged Hilbert space.
Contractivity results in ordered spaces. Applications to relative operator bounds and projections with norm one
2016
This paper provides various “contractivity” results for linear operators of the form I−C where C are positive contractions on real ordered Banach spaces X. If A generates a positive contraction semigroup in Lebesgue spaces Lp(μ), we show (M. Pierre's result) that A(λ−A)−1 is a “contraction on the positive cone”, i.e. A(λ−A)−1x≤x for all x∈L+p(μ)(λ>0), provided that p⩾2. We show also that this result is not true for 1 ⩽ p<2. We give an extension of M. Pierre's result to general ordered Banach spaces X under a suitable uniform monotony assumption on the duality map on the positive cone X+. We deduce from this result that, in such spaces, I−C is a contraction on X+ for any positive projection…
Locally convex quasi $C^*$-normed algebras
2012
Abstract If A 0 [ ‖ ⋅ ‖ 0 ] is a C ∗ -normed algebra and τ a locally convex topology on A 0 making its multiplication separately continuous, then A 0 ˜ [ τ ] (completion of A 0 [ τ ] ) is a locally convex quasi ∗-algebra over A 0 , but it is not necessarily a locally convex quasi ∗-algebra over the C ∗ -algebra A 0 ˜ [ ‖ ⋅ ‖ 0 ] (completion of A 0 [ ‖ ⋅ ‖ 0 ] ). In this article, stimulated by physical examples, we introduce the notion of a locally convex quasi C ∗ -normed algebra, aiming at the investigation of A 0 ˜ [ τ ] ; in particular, we study its structure, ∗-representation theory and functional calculus.
