AMIRG.GHAZANFARIANDSEVERS.DRAGOMIR

Abstract. Let be a unital Banach -algebra, a C -seminorm or a positive A   linear functional on and X be a semi-inner product -module. We de…ne A A a real function on X by (x) = ( ( x; x ))1=2 and show that the Schwarz h i inequality holds, therefore (X; ) is a semi-Hilbert -module. We also obtain A some Grüss type inequalities for C-seminorms and positive linear functionals on . A

1. Introduction In 1934, G. Grüss [6] showed that for two Lebesgue integrable functions f; g : [a; b] R, ! 1 b 1 b 1 b 1 f(t)g(t)dt f(t)dt g(t)dt (M m)(N n); b a a b a a b a a  4 Z Z Z provided m; M; n; N are real numbers with the property < m f M < 11   1 and < n f N < a.e. on [a; b]: The constant 4 is best possible in the sense1 that it cannot  be replaced1 by a smaller constant. The following inequality of Grüss type in real or complex inner product spaces is known [3].

Theorem 1. Let (H; ; ) be an over K (K = C; R) and h i e H; e = 1. If ; ; ;  K and x; y H are such that conditions 2 k k 2 2 Re e x; x e 0; Re e y; y e 0 h i  h i  or, equivalently, + 1  +  1 x e ; y e   2  2j j 2  2j j

hold, then we have the inequality 1 (1.1) x; y x; e e; y   : jh i h i h ij  4j jj j 1 The constant 4 is best possible in (1.1). Dragomir in [5] presented re…nements of the Grüss type inequality (1.1) and some companions and applications. Iliševi´c and Varošane´c in [7] have proved a re…nement of a Grüss type inequality in proper H-modules and C-modules.

In this paper we obtain a version for the Schwarz inequality and provide inequal- ities of Grüss type in inner product Banach -modules. 

2. Preliminaries Let be a -algebra. A seminorm on is a real-valued function on such that A  A A for a; b and  C: (a) 0; (a) =  (a); (a + b) (a) + (b).A 2 A 2  j j  seminorm on is called a C-seminorm if it satis…es the C-condition: (aa) = 2 A ( (a)) (a ): By Sebestyen’stheorem [2, Theorem 38.1] every C-seminorm on a -algebra2 A is submultiplicative, i.e., (ab) (a) (b)(a; b ), and by [1,  A  2 A Section 39, Lemma 2 (i)] (a) = (a). For every a , the spectral radius of a is de…ned to be r(a) = sup  :   (a) . 2 A The Pták function  fjonj -algebra2 A gis de…ned to be  : [0; ), where 1=2  A A! 1 (a) = (r(aa)) . This function has important roles in Banach -algebras, for  example, on C-algebras,  is equal to the norm and on hermitian Banach -algebras   is the greatest C-seminorm. By utilizing properties of the spectral radius and the Pták function, V. Pták [9] showed in 1970 that an elegant theory for Banach -algebras arises from the inequality r(a) (a).  This inequality characterizes hermitian (and symmetric) Banach -algebras, and  further characterizations of C-algebras follow as a result of Pták theory. Let be a -algebra. We de…ne + by A  A n + = akak : n N; ak for k = 1; 2; :::; n ; A 2 2 A (k=1 ) X and call the elements of  positive. The set + of positiveA elements is obviously a (i.e., it is closed under convex combinationsA and multiplication by positive constants). Hence we call + the positive cone. By de…nition, zero belongs to +. It is also clear that eachA positive element is hermitian. A

De…nition 1. Let be a -algebra. A semi-inner product -module (or semi- inner product -module)A is a complex vector space which is alsoA a right -module X with a sesquilinear semi-inner product ; : X X , ful…lling A h i  !A x; ya = x; y a for x; y X; a ; (right linearity) h i h i 2 2 A x; x + for x X: (positivity) h i 2 A 2 Furthermore, if X satis…es the strict positivity condition x = 0 if x; x = 0; (strict positivity) h i then X is called an inner product -module (or inner product -module). A  Let be a seminorm or a positive linear functional on and (x) = ( ( x; x ))1=2 (x X). If is a seminorm on a semi-inner product A-module X, thenh(X; i) is said2 to be a semi-Hilbert -module. A If is a norm on anA inner product -module X, then (X; ) is said to be a pre-Hilbert -module. A A pre-HilbertA -module which is complete with respect to its norm is called a Hilbert -module.A A SCHWARZANDGRÜSSTYPEINEQUALITY 3

3. Schwarz Inequality Let ' be a positive linear functional on a -algebra and X be a semi-inner -module. We can de…ne a sesquilinear form on X X byA (x; y) = ' ( x; y ); the ASchwarz inequality for  implies that  h i

(3.1) ' ( x; y ) 2 ' ( x; x ) ' ( y; y ) : j h i j  h i h i Therefore (x) = ( ( x; x ))1=2 is a seminorm on X and (X; ) is a semi-Hilbert -module. h i A Proposition 1. Let be a -algebra and X be a semi-inner product -module. If A  1=2 A is a C-seminorm on and (x) = ( ( x; x )) (x X) then the Schwarz inequality holds, that is A h i 2

(3.2) ( ( x; y ))2 ( x; x ) ( y; y ) : h i  h i h i Therefore (x + y) (x) + (y) for every x; y X. Thus is a seminorm on X and (X; ) is a semi-Hilbert -module. 2 A Proof. First we show that has the following monotone property: (a) (b) if 0 a b (a; b ):    2 A Let J be the ideal de…ned by

J = a : (a) = 0 f 2 A g and ~ the algebra norm de…ned on the algebra =J by A ~(b) = (a)(a b =J ): 2 2 A We denote by B the completion of =J with respect to the norm ~ and we A denote also by ~ the usual extension of this norm to B . Suppose that a; b 2 A and 0 a b, then [a] = a + J b + J = [b] in =J . Since ~ is a C-norm on    A B therefore ~([a]) ~([b]) [8, Theorem 2.2.5 (3)] consequently (a) (b). The rest of the proof is similar to the proof of Lemma 15.1.3 in [10]; we include it for the sake of completion: If ( x; y ) = 0, this is trivial. Suppose that ( x; y ) = 0 put a := x; x , b := y;h y , ci:= x; y and let  be an arbitrary real number.h i 6 Then h i h i h i 2 (3.3) 0 x yc; x yc = a 2cc +  cbc:  h i Adding the self-adjoint element 2cc at both sides and taking seminorms, we obtain

2 2 2 2 2 2  (c) (a +  cbc) (a) +  (cbc) (a) +  (c) (b): j j    Now, for all  R we have the inequality 2 0 (c)2 (b) 2 2 (c)2  + (a);   j j so that the discriminant 4 (c)4 4 (c)2 (b) (a) must be non-positive. Since we suppose that (c) = 0, by dividing with 4 (c)2 we deduce the desired inequality (3.2). 6 4 GHAZANFARIANDDRAGOMIR

It follows that (x + y)2 = ( x + y; x + y ) h i ( x; x ) + ( x; y ) + ( y; x ) + ( y; y )  h i h i h i h i 1 1 ( x; x ) + 2( ( x; x )) 2 ( ( y; y )) 2 + ( y; y )  h i h i h i h i 1 1 2 = ( ( x; x )) 2 + ( ( y; y )) 2 h i h i = ((x) + (y))2: 

Therefore is a seminorm on X, and (X; ) is a semi-Hilbert -module. A  Example 1.

(a) Let be a -algebra and a positive linear functional or a C-seminorm on A. It is known that ( ; ) is a semi-Hilbert -module over itself with A A A the inner product de…ned by a; b := ab, in this case = . (b) Let be a hermitian Banachh -algebrai and  be the Pták function on . If X isA a semi-inner product -module and P (x) = (( x; x ))1=2 (x AX), then (X;P ) is a semi-HilbertA -module. h i 2 A (c) Let be a A-algebra and be the auxiliary norm on . If X is an innerA product -module andj x j = x; x 1=2 (x X), thenA (X; ) is a pre-Hilbert -module.A j j j h i j 2 j  j A Remark 1. Let ' be a positive linear functional on a unital Banach -algebra , X a semi-inner -module and x; y X. Put a := x; x ; b := y; y and c := x; yA. From (3.3) and A[1, Section 37 Lemma2 6 (iii)] we haveh i h i h i

2 2 2 2cc a +  cbc; therefore 2'(cc) '(a +  cbc) = '(a) +  '(cbc)   2 '(a) +  '(cc)r(b):  2 Thus for all  R inequality 0  '(cc)r(b) 2'(cc) + '(a) holds. So the dis- 2 2  criminant '(cc) '(cc)'(a)r(b) = '(cc)('(cc) '(a)r(b)) 0. This implies that 

(3.4) '(cc) '(a)r(b) or '( x; y y; x ) '( x; x )r( y; y ):  h i h i  h i h i Now suppose that X is a C-module on C-algebra and a; b; c are as above. By A 2 [8, Theorem 3.3.6] there is a state ' on such that '(cc) = cc = c . Using inequality (3.4) we have A k k k k

2 c = '(cc) '(a)r(b) a b : k k   k kk k Therefore (3.4) is a re…nement of Schwarz’s inequality for C-modules [10, Lemma 15.1.3].

4. Grüss Type Inequalities We assume, unless stated otherwise, throughout this section that is a unital Banach -algebra. The following Lemma 1 is a version of [4, Lemma 2.1]A for a semi- inner product -module and the following Lemma 3 is a version of ([4, Lemma 2.4]) for an inner productA -module.

Lemma 1. Let X be an semi-inner product -module, and x; y X; ; C. Then A 2 2 Re y x; x y 0 h i  if and only if + + 1 x y; x y 2 y; y : 2 2  4j j h i   Proof. Follows from the equalities: 1 Re y x; x y = ( y x; x y + x y; e x ) h i 2 h i h i  +   +  + = y; x y; y x; x + x; y 2 h i 2 h i h i 2 h i 1 + + = 2 y; y x y; x y : 4j j h i 2 2    Lemma 2. Let X be an inner product -module and x; y; e X. If e; e is idempotent, then e e; e = e, and thereforeA 2 h i h i e; e e; x = e; x ; x; e = x; e e; e : h i h i h i h i h i h i Proof. Observe that the equality e e; e e; e e; e e = e e; e ; e e; e e e; e ; e e; e e; e + e; e h h i h i i h h i h ii h h i i h h ii h i = e; e e; e e; e e; e e; e e; e e; e + e; e h i h i h i h i h i h i h i h i = 0; implies that e e; e e = 0. h i The rest follows from this fact and we omit the details. 

Lemma 3. Let X be an inner product -module and be a C-seminorm or a positive linear functional on and (x)A = ( ( x; x ))1=2 (x X). If x; e X and e; e is an idempotent thenA h i 2 2 h i 0 x; x x; e e; x  h i h i h i and ( x; x x; e e; x ) inf (x e)2: h i h i h i   C 2 Proof. Observe, for any a , that 2 A x ea; x e e; x = x; x x; e e; x ea; x + ea; e e; x h h ii h i h h ii h i h h ii = x; x x; e e; x a e; x + a e; e e; x h i h i h i h i h i h i = x; x x; e e; x : h i h i h i This implies that x; x x; e e; x = x e e; x ; x e e; x 0: h i h i h i h h i h ii  Also observe, for any  C, that 2 x e; x e e; x = x; x x; e e; x e; x + e; e e; x h h ii h i h h ii h i h h ii = x; x x; e e; x  e; x +  e; e e; x h i h i h i h i h i h i = x; x x; e e; x : h i h i h i 6 GHAZANFARIANDDRAGOMIR

Using Schwarz’sinequality, we have ( x; x x; e e; x )2 = ( x e; x e e; x )2 h i h i h i h h ii ( x e; x e ) ( x e e; x ; x e e; x )  h i h h i h ii = ( x e; x e ) ( x; x x; e e; x ); h i h i h i h i therefore giving the bound 2 ( x; x x; e e; x ) ( x e; x e ) = (x e)  C: h i h i h i  h i 2 Taking the in…mum in the above relation over  C, we deduce 2 ( x; x x; e e; x ) inf (x e)2: h i h i h i   C 2 

Let X be a semi-inner product -module, x; y X; ; C and be a C- seminorm or a positive linear functionalA on . Put2(x) = ( 2( x; x ))1=2(x X). By Lemma 1, Re y x; x y 0 impliesA that h i 2 h i  + 2 + + x y = x y; x y 2 2 2     1 2 ( y; y )  4j j h i 1 = 2(y)2: 4j j

Also, let 0 = e X and e; e be idempotent. If is a C-seminorm, then it is trivial that 6 ( e;2 e ) = 0 orh ( ie; e ) = 1, i.e., (e) 1. h i h i  Lemma 4. Let X be an inner product -module, be a C-seminorm on and (x) = ( ( x; x ))1=2 (x X). If x; y;A e X, e; e is idempotent and ;A ; ;  are real orh complexi numbers2 such that 2 h i + 1  +  1 x e ; y e   2  2j j 2  2j j     hold, then one has the inequality 1 ( x; y x; e e; y )   : h i h i h i  4j jj j Furthermore, if there is a non zero element f in X such that e; f = 0 and (f) = 1 h i 6 0; then the constant 4 is best possible. Proof. By (3.2), is a seminorm on X. It can be easily shown that, x; y x; e e; y = x e e; x ; y e e; y : h i h i h i h h i h ii From the Schwarz inequality, we obtain ( x; y x; e e; y ) h i h i h i = ( x e e; x ; y e e; y ) h h i h ii 1 1 (4.1) ( x e e; x ; x e e; x ) 2 ( y e e; y ; y e e; y ) 2  h h i h ii h h i h ii 1 1 = ( x; x x; e e; x ) 2 ( y; y y; e e; y ) 2 : h i h i h i h i h i h i SCHWARZANDGRÜSSTYPEINEQUALITY 7

Using Lemma 3 and the above assumptions, we have that

1 ( x; x x; e e; x ) 2 inf (x e) h i h i h i   C 2 + 1 x e  2  2j j   and 1 ( y; y y; e e; y ) 2 inf (y e) h i h i h i   C 2  +  1 y e   :  2  2j j   Therefore the desired inequality is obtained. 1 Now we show that the constant 4 is best possible. If f is a non zero element of X with (f) = 0 such that e; f = 0 and given  > 0; then for 6 h i +    +  x = j j f + e; y = j j f + e  2((f) + ) 2  2((f) + ) 2 the assumptions of the previous lemma hold and in this case   (f)2 ( x; y x; e e; y ) = j jj j : h i h i h i 4  ((f) + )2 1 Now if c is a constant such that 0 < c < 4 then there is a  > 0 such that (f)2 4((f)+)2 > c. Therefore

We are able now to state our …rst main result:

For every k K we have 2 x; x x; e e; x = x ke; x ke ke e e; x ; ke e e; x : h i h i h i h i h h i h ii + For k = 2 Lemma 1 implies that 1 + + x; x x; e e; x 2 e; e e e e; x ; e e e; x : h i h i h i  4j j h i 2 h i 2 h i   Therefore 1 + 2 '( x; x x; e e; x ) 2(e)2  e e e; x : h i h i h i  4j j 2 h i   Analogously 1  +  2 '( y; y y; e e; y )   2(e)2  e e e; x : h i h i h i  4j j 2 h i   Using Schwarz’sinequality and the elementary inequality for real numbers (m2 n2)(p2 q2) (mp nq)2  we obtain ('( x; y x; e e; y ))2 h i h i h i '( x; x x; e e; x )'( y; y y; e e; y )  h i h i h i h i h i h i 1 +  +  2   (e)2  e e e; x  e e e; x :  4j jj j 2 h i 2 h i      Therefore we get '( x; y x; e e; y ) h i h i h i 1 +  +    (e)2  e e e; x  e e e; x :  4j jj j 2 h i 2 h i      Other inequalities related to the Grüss inequality such as Theorem 18, Propo- sition 18, Theorem 20, Corollary 20 and Remark 23 in [5], have versions that are valid for positive linear functionals and C-seminorms on unital Banach -algebras. However, the details are omitted.  Acknowledgement 1.
