We will show 2 that Rb is closed subspace of B (H ) and we will define an operator from T to Rb and show that this operator is injective and continuous in strong-operator topology. Keywords: Generalized Rhaly operators, weak-operator topology, strong- operator topology. 1 Introduction A Hilbert space has two useful topologies (weak and strong); the space of operators on a Hilbert space has several. The metric topology induced by the norm is one of them; to distinguish it from the others, it is usually called the norm topology or the uniform topology. The next two are natural outgrowths for operators of the strong and weak topologies for vectors. A subbase for the strong operator topology is the collection of all sets of the form fA : k(A − A0) fk < g ; correspondingly a base is the collection of all sets of the form fA : k(A − A0) fik < , i = 1; 2; : : : ; kg 2 Nuh Durna et al. Here k is a positive integer, f1; f2; : : : ; fk are vectors, and is a positive number. A subbase for the weak operator topology is the collection of all sets of the form fA : jh(A − A0) f; gij < g ; where f and g are vectors and > 0; as above (as always) a base is the collection of all finite intersections of such sets. The corresponding concepts of convergence (for sequences and nets) are easy to describe: An ! A strongly if and only if Anf ! Af strongly for each f (i.e., k(An − A) fk ! 0 for each f), and An ! A weakly if and only if Anf ! Af weakly for each f (i.e., hAnf; gi ! hAf; gi for each f and g). For a slightly different and often very efficient definition of the strong and weak operator topologies (see [3, Problems 224 and 225]). The easiest questions to settle are the ones about comparison. The weak topology is smaller (weaker) than the strong topology, and the strong topology is smaller than the norm topology. In other words, every weak open set is a strong open set, and every strong open set is norm open. In still other words: every weak neighborhood of each operator includes a strong neighborhood of that operator, and every strong neighborhood includes a metric neighborhood. Again: norm convergence implies strong convergence, and strong convergence implies weak convergence. These facts are immediate from the definitions. In the presence of uniformity on the unit sphere, the implications are reversible (see [3]). Let H (D) denotes the space of complex valued analytic function on the unit disk D, for 1 ≤ p < 1, Hp denotes the standard Hardy space on D. Integral operators have been studied of the greater part of the last century. In [5], Scott W. Young gave definition of generalized Ces`aromatrix as follows: Definition 1.1 Let g be analytic on the unit disk. The generalized Ces`aro operator on H2 with symbol g z 1 Z C (f)(z) = f (t) g (t) dt (1) g z 0 In [4], Pommerenke defined the following operator on H2 : z Z 0 IG (f) = f (t) G (t) dt: 0 He showed the following lemma: Topological Results About the Set... 3 2 Lemma 1.2 ([4, Lemma 1]) IG is bounded on H iff G 2 BMOA. Mor- ever, there is a constant K1 such that kIGkop ≤ K1 kGk∗. z R If G (z) = g (w) dw; then Pommerenke [4] showed that Cg is bounded 0 on the Hilbert space H2 if and only if G 2 BMOA: Aleman and Siskakis [1] extended Pommerenke's result to the Hardy spaces Hp for all p, 1 ≤ p < 1; p and show that Cg is compact on H if and only if G 2 V MOA. In [2], the authors defined generalized Rhaly matrix by using the general- ized Ces`aromatrix as following: 1 P k Definition 1.3 Let fbng be a scalar sequence and g (z) = akz 2 H (D). k=0 The matrix 0 1 a0b0 B C B C B a1b1 a0b1 C B C B C g B C R = B a2b2 a1b2 a0b2 C (2) b B C B C B C B a b a b a b a b C B 3 3 2 3 1 3 0 3 C B C @ . A . .. is called generalized Rhaly matrix with symbol g on H2. From (2), we can write 8 an−jbn ; n ≥ j g < (Rb )nj = . (3) : 0 ; n < j g The relation Rb = DbCg is valid similar to on Rhaly matrix, where Db = 1 1 diag f(n + 1) bngn=0. We recall that Cg = C1 for g (z) = 1−z : Since g (z) = 1 P k z , which fixes then an = 1 for all n 2 N. Thus, from (2) we get k=0 0 1 b0 B b1 b1 C g B C R = B b2 b2 b2 C = R . b B C b B b3 b3 b3 b3 C @ . A . .. 4 Nuh Durna et al. g On the other hand R1=(n+1) = Cg. Therefore this definition could be regarded as a two-way generalizing both for Rhaly and Ces`arooperator. We define the following set B: Z z B := g : D ! C : g (t) dt 2 BMOA : 0 The authors gave for bounded of generalized Rhally matrices as follows: Lemma 1.4 ([2, Lemma 3.1]) If g 2 B and f(n + 1) bng is bounded se- g quence, then Rb is bounded. For this paper, we make the convention that whenever β or βj is notated, β 1=(1−βz) it is assumed that jβj = jβjj = 1. Furthermore, Rb = Rb . The authors gave for unitarily equivalent of generalized Rhally matrices as follows: gβ Lemma 1.5 ([2, Theorem 5]) If gβ (z) = g (βz) with jβj = 1, then Rb g gβ ∼ g is unitarily equivalent to Rb . We denote this by Rb = Rb . 2 Topological Results of Generalized Rhaly Ma- trices In this part, we will investigate some topological properties of Rb set of all bounded generalized Rhally matrices given by b sequences in H2. From Lemma 1.4, Rb is g Rb = fRb : g 2 Bg where f(n + 1) bng is bounded sequence. We will show that Rb is closed sub- space of B (H2) and we will define an operator from T := fz : kzk = 1g to Rb and show that this operator is injective and continuous in strong-operator topology. Definition 2.1 The weak-operator topology, or WOT, on B (H) is the lo- cally convex topology generated by the seminorms, Tx;y = jhT x; yij for x; y 2 H and T 2 B (H). WOT Equivalently, if fTαg is a net of operators in B (H); then, Tα ! T iff hTαx; yi ! hT x; yi for each x; y 2 H. Definition 2.2 The strong-operator topology, or SOT, on B (H) is the lo- cally convex topology generated by the seminorms, Tx = kT xk for x 2 H and T 2 B (H). Topological Results About the Set... 5 As with WOT-convergence, SOT-convergence can be formulated as follows: SOT if fTαg is a net of operators in B (H); then, Tα ! T iff k(Tα − T ) xk ! 0 for each x 2 H. 2 Theorem 2.3 Rb is a Weak-Operator closed subspace of B (H ). g1 g2 g1 g2 g1+g2 Proof Let Rb ;Rb 2 Rb. Then Rb + Rb = Rb 2 Rb since g1 + g2 2 B for all g1; g2 2 B. We prove that Rb is closed in the weak operator topology. g g WOT Let fRb gα be a net of operators in Rb such that fRb gα ! S. We must h P1 k show that S = Rb for some h 2 B. Let k=0 (ak)α z be the Taylor series for 2 2 g gα. S 2 B (H ) since B (H ) is WOT-closed. Let fRb gα nj be the matrix for g 2 fRb gα in the standart basis for H . g WOT fRb gα ! S. Thus, we get g fRb gα nj ! Snj for each n; j: We know that for any bounded operator on a Hilbert space T , the nj−th 1 entry in a matrix for T in an orthonormal basis fengn=1 is Tnj = hT en; eji. g fRb gα nj = (an−j)α bn if n ≥ j. This implies that Snj = limα (an−j)α bn for g n ≥ j. For n < j, we know that fRb gα nj = 0. Therefore, Snj = 0 for n < j. So S has the form of (3). Define 1 X g n h (z) := c + fRb gα n1 z ; n=1 h where c 2 C. Then S = Rb . By Lemma 1.2, h 2 B . Thus S 2 Rb. The WOT is weaker than the norm topology, thereby giving us that Rb is 2 also norm closed.

  • AND the DOUBLE COMMUTANT THEOREM Recall
    Egbert Rijke Utrecht University [email protected] THE STRONG OPERATOR TOPOLOGY ON B(H) AND THE DOUBLE COMMUTANT THEOREM ABSTRACT. These are the notes for a presentation on the strong and weak operator topolo- gies on B(H) and on commutants of unital self-adjoint subalgebras of B(H) in the seminar on von Neumann algebras in Utrecht. The main goal for this talk was to prove the double commutant theorem of von Neumann. We will also give a proof of Vigiers theorem and we will work out several useful properties of the commutant. Recall that a seminorm on a vector space V is a map p : V ! [0;¥) with the properties that (i) p(lx) = jljp(x) for every vector x 2 V and every scalar l and (ii) p(x + y) ≤ p(x) + p(y) for every pair of vectors x;y 2 V. If P is a family of seminorms on V there is a topology generated by P of which the subbasis is defined by the sets fv 2 V : p(v − x) < eg; where e > 0, p 2 P and x 2 V. Hence a subset U of V is open if and only if for every x 2 U there exist p1;:::; pn 2 P, and e > 0 with the property that n \ fv 2 V : pi(v − x) < eg ⊂ U: i=1 A family P of seminorms on V is called separating if, for every non-zero vector x, there exists a seminorm p in P such that p(x) 6= 0.

  • Weak Operator Topology, Operator Ranges and Operator Equations Via Kolmogorov Widths
    Weak operator topology, operator ranges and operator equations via Kolmogorov widths M. I. Ostrovskii and V. S. Shulman Abstract. Let K be an absolutely convex infinite-dimensional compact in a Banach space X . The set of all bounded linear operators T on X satisfying TK ⊃ K is denoted by G(K). Our starting point is the study of the closure WG(K) of G(K) in the weak operator topology. We prove that WG(K) contains the algebra of all operators leaving lin(K) invariant. More precise results are obtained in terms of the Kolmogorov n-widths of the compact K. The obtained results are used in the study of operator ranges and operator equations. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). Primary 47A05; Secondary 41A46, 47A30, 47A62. Keywords. Banach space, bounded linear operator, Hilbert space, Kolmogorov width, operator equation, operator range, strong operator topology, weak op- erator topology. 1. Introduction Let K be a subset in a Banach space X . We say (with some abuse of the language) that an operator D 2 L(X ) covers K, if DK ⊃ K. The set of all operators covering K will be denoted by G(K). It is a semigroup with a unit since the identity operator is in G(K). It is easy to check that if K is compact then G(K) is closed in the norm topology and, moreover, sequentially closed in the weak operator topology (WOT). It is somewhat surprising that for each absolutely convex infinite- dimensional compact K the WOT-closure of G(K) is much larger than G(K) itself, and in many cases it coincides with the algebra L(X ) of all operators on X .

  • The Order Bicommutant
    B. de Rijk The Order Bicommutant A study of analogues of the von Neumann Bicommutant Theorem, reflexivity results and Schur's Lemma for operator algebras on Dedekind complete Riesz spaces Master's thesis, defended on August 20, 2012 Thesis advisor: Dr. M.F.E. de Jeu Mathematisch Instituut, Universiteit Leiden Abstract It this thesis we investigate whether an analogue of the von Neumann Bicommutant Theorem and related results are valid for Riesz spaces. Let H be a Hilbert space and D ⊂ Lb(H) a ∗-invariant subset. The bicommutant D00 equals P(D0)0, where P(D0) denotes the set of pro- jections in D0. Since the sets D00 and P(D0)0 agree, there are multiple possibilities to define an analogue of bicommutant for Riesz spaces. Let E be a Dedekind complete Riesz space and A ⊂ Ln(E) a subset. Since the band generated by the projections in Ln(E) is given by Orth(E) and order projections in the commutant correspond bijectively to reducing bands, our approach is to define the bicommutant of A on E by U := (A 0 \ Orth(E))0. Our first result is that the bicommutant U equals fT 2 Ln(E): T is reduced by every A - reducing bandg. Hence U is fully characterized by its reducing bands. This is the analogue of the fact that each von Neumann algebra in Lb(H) is reflexive. This result is based on the following two observations. Firstly, in Riesz spaces there is a one-to-one correspondence between bands and order projections, instead of a one-to-one correspondence between closed subspaces and projections.

  • The Dual Space of an Operator Algebra
    THE DUAL SPACE OF AN OPERATOR ALGEBRA BY CHARLES A. AKEMANN Introduction. The purpose of this paper is to study noncommutative C*- algebras as Banach spaces. The Gelfand representation of an abelian C*-algebra as the algebra of all continuous complex-valued functions on its spectrum has made it possible to apply the techniques of measure theory and the topological properties of compact Hausdorff spaces to the study of such algebras. No such structure theory of general C*-algebras is available at present. Many theorems about the Banach space structure of abelian C*-algebras are stated in terms of topological or measure-theoretic properties of their spectra; although much work has been done of late in studying an analogous dual object for general C*-algebras, the generalization is far from exact. For this reason we shall confine our study primarily to W*-algebras in which the lattice of self-adjoint projections will be used as a substitute for the Borel sets of the spectrum of an abelian C*-algebra. Using a theorem of Takeda [15] we shall be able to extend some of our results to general C*-algebras. In [10] Sakai proved that any C*-algebra which is the dual of some Banach space has a representation as a H/*-aIgebra on some Hubert space. Dixmier [3] has proved the converse assertion, so it is possible to consider W*-algebras in a quite abstract fashion. It is this point of view which will predominate in this paper. Let F be a Banach space and suppose that the Banach space dual F* of F is a H/*-algebra, which will be denoted by M.

  • 208 C*-Algebras
    208 C*-algebras Marc Rieffel Notes by Qiaochu Yuan Spring 2013 Office hours: M 9:30-10:45, W 1:15-2:)0, F 9-10, 811 Evans Recommended text: Davidson, C*-algebras 1 Introduction The seeds of this subject go back to von Neumann, Heisenberg, and Schrodinger in the 1920s; observables in quantum mechanics should correspond to self-adjoint operators on Hilbert spaces, and the abstract context for understanding self-adjoint operators is C*-algebras. In the 1930s, von Neumann wrote about what are now called von Neumann algebras, namely subalgebras of the algebra of operators on a Hilbert space closed under adjoints and in the strong operator topology. This subject is sometimes called noncommutative measure theory because a commutative von Neumann algebra is isomorphic to L1(X) for some measure space X. In 1943, Gelfand and Naimark introduced the notion of a C*-algebra, namely a Banach algebra with an involution ∗ satisfying ka∗k = kak and ka∗ak = kak2. They showed that if such an algebra A is commutative, then it is isomorphic to the C*-algebra C(X) of continuous complex-valued functions on a compact Hausdorff space X. This space X is obtained as the Gelfand spectrum of unital C*-algebra homomorphisms A ! C. Noncommutative examples include the algebra B(H) of bounded operators on a Hilbert space. Gelfand and Naimark also showed that any C*-algebra is *-isomorphic to a *-algebra of operators on a Hilbert space. This subject is sometimes called noncommutative topology (as C*-algebras behave like the algebra of functions on a compact Hausdorff space).

  • A Convexity Primer
    A Convexity Primer Ashwin Trisal & Micah Pedrick September 7, 2019 Credit: Much of this comes from Kadison-Ringrose's text Fundamentals of the Theory of Operator Algebras and Bollob´as' Linear Analysis. This primer was intended for use alongside Chuck Akemann's 201 course homeworks, but should serve in any discussion of basic convexity theory as applied to function spaces. The authors can be contacted at [email protected] and [email protected], respectively. Contents 1 Convex Sets 2 2 Locally Convex Topological Vector Spaces 6 3 Krein-Milman 11 4 Convex Spaces and Convex Functions 12 5 Krein-Milman in Dual Spaces 13 6 The Pettis Integral 15 A Nets 16 B Initial Topologies 17 C Seminorm Topologies 18 1 1 Convex Sets The convexity theory requires real linearity and not complex linearity, even though complex spaces are preferable for spectral theory. Therefore, although we will consider real linear combinations throughout the following section, it is important to bear in mind the results are equally applicable in real and complex vector spaces. Let V be such a vector space. Definition 1.1. A set K ⊆ V is called convex if for every x; y 2 K and t 2 (0; 1), we have tx + (1 − t)y 2 K. That is, a convex set is closed under convex combinations. You may have a lot of intuition about convexity from the finite-dimensional case; this is valuable, but relies heavily on the local compactness of these spaces. As a result, this structure has not been helpful in developing intuition for the setting that we most care about—infinite-dimensional function spaces.

  • Ideals of Operators, Approximability in the Strong Operator Topology, and the Approximation Property
    IDEALS OF OPERATORS, APPROXIMABILITY IN THE STRONG OPERATOR TOPOLOGY, AND THE APPROXIMATION PROPERTY ASVALD˚ LIMA AND EVE OJA Abstract. Let F, K, and W denote the operator ideals of finite rank operators, compact operators, and weakly compact operators. Let X be a closed subspace of a Banach space Y . We prove that, in the case when A = F or A = K and B = K or B = W, the space A(Z; X) is an ideal in B(Z; Y ) for all Banach spaces Z if and only if there exists a Hahn- Banach extension operator Á : X¤ ! Y ¤ such that, for every Banach space Z and every T 2 B(Z; Y ) there exists a net (T®) in A(Z; X) with ¤ ¤ sup® kT®k · kT k such that T® ! T ± Á in the strong operator topology. Using this result, we show that X (resp. X¤) has the approxima- tion property if and only if, for every Banach space Z and every T 2 ¤¤ W(Z; X) (resp. T 2 W(Z; X )), there exists a net (T®) in F(Z; X) with ¤ ¤ sup® kT®k · kT k such that T® ! T jX¤ in the strong operator topology. It follows that conditions considered by Grothendieck as necessary for the approximation property are in fact equivalent to it. 1. Introduction Let us recall that a linear subspace F of a Banach space E is an ideal in E if F ? is the kernel of a norm one projection in E¤. The notion of an ideal was introduced and studied by Godefroy, Kalton, and Saphar in [3].
