Sherman-Takeda type theorems for locally C*-algebras

In this article, we will first establish some density results for a locally $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal A$ and then identify a property, called Kaplansky density property (KDP). We then give a induced faithful continuous $*$-representation $φ$ of $\mathcal A^{**}$ (equipped with unique Arens product) on the space $B_{loc}(\mathcal H)$ such that $φ(\mathcal A^{**})\subset \overline{π(\mathcal A)}^{WOT}$, where $π:\mathcal A\to B_{loc}(\mathcal H)$ is the associated universal $*$-representation and $\mathcal H$ is the associated locally Hilbert space. Finally we show that for a Fréchet locally $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal A$ possessing KDP, the second strong dual is algebraically and topologically $*$-isomorphic to $ \overline{π(\mathcal A)}^{WOT}$, which is a direct analogue of the classical Sherman-Takeda theorem for $C^*$-algebras. We shall also observe the joint continuity of some associated bilinear maps in the running.

On some Fréchet spaces associated to the functions satisfying Mulholland inequality

In this article we explore a new growth condition on Young functions, which we call Mulholland condition, pertaining to the mathematician H.P Mulholland, who studied these functions for the first time, albeit in a different context. We construct a non-trivial Young function $Ω$ which satisfies Mulholland condition and $Δ_2$-condition. We then associate exotic $F$-norms to the vector space $X_1\oplus X_2$, where $X_1$ and $X_2$ are Banach spaces, using the function $Ω$. This $F$-spaces contains the Banach space $X_1$ and $X_2$ as a maximal Banach subspace. Further, the Banach envelope $(X_1\oplus X_2,||.||_{Ω_o})$ of this $F$-space corresponds to the Young function $Ω_o$ who characteristic function is an asymptotic line to the characteristic function of the Young function $Ω$. Thus these $F$-spaces serves as "interpolation space" for Banach spaces $X_1$ and $(X_1\oplus X_2, ||.||_{Ω_o})$ in some sense. These $F$-space are well behaved in regards to Hahn-Banach extension property, which is lacking in classical $F$-spaces like $L^p$ and $H^p$ for $0<p<1$. Towards the end, some direct sums for Orlicz spaces are discussed.

Annihilators in the bidual of generalized group algebra of a discrete group

In this short note, the second dual of generalized group algebra $(\ell^1(G,\mathcal A),\ast)$ equipped with both Arens products is investigated, where $G$ is any discrete group and $\mathcal A$ is a Banach algebra containing a complemented algebraic copy of $(\ell^1(\mathbb N),\bullet)$. We give an explicit family of annihilators(w.r.t both the Arens product) in the algebra $\ell^1(G,\mathcal A)^{**}$, arising from non-principal ultrafilters on $\mathbb N$ and which are not in the topological center. As a consequence, we also deduce the fact that $\ell^1(G,\mathcal A)$ is not Strongly Arens irregular.

Geometry of Banach algebra $\mA$ and the bidual of $L^1(G,\mA)$

This article is intended towards the study of the bidual of generalized group algebra $L^1(G,\mA)$ equipped with two Arens product, where $G$ is any locally compact group and $\mA$ is a Banach algebra. We show that the left topological center of $(L^1(G)\hat\otimes\mA)^{**}$ is a Banach $L^1(G)$-module if $G$ is abelian. Further it also holds permanance property with respect to the unitization of $\mA$. We then use this fact to extend the remarkable result of A.M Lau and V. Losert\cite{Lau-losert}, about the topological center of $L^1(G)^{**}$ being just $L^1(G)$, to the reflexive Banach algebra valued case using the theory of vector measures. We further explore pseudo-center of $L^1(G,\mA)$ for non-reflexive Banach algebras $\mA$ and give a partial characterization for elements of pseudo-center using the Cohen's factorization theorem. In the running we also observe few consequences when $\mA$ holds the Radon-Nikodym property and weak sequential completeness.

On strong Arens irregularity of projective tensor product of Hilbert-Schmidt space

It was shown in [16] that the Banach algebra $A:=S_2(\ell^2)\otimes^γ S_2(\ell^2)$ is not Arens regular, where $S_2(\ell^2)$ denotes the Banach algebra of the Hilbert-Schmidt operators on $\ell^2$. In this article, employing the notion of limits along ultrafilters, we prove that the irregularity of $S_2(\ell^2)\otimes^γ S_2(\ell^2)$ is not strong. Along the way, we provide a class of functionals in $A^{**}$ which lie in the topological center but are not in $A$; and, as a consequence, we deduce that $A^{**}$ is not an annihilator Banach algebra with respect to any of the two Arens products.

On arens regularity of projective tensor product of Schatten p-class operators

In this paper we discuss the Arens regularity of projective tensor product of Schatten p-class operators. We use the biregularity condition given by Ülger to prove that $S_p(\mathcal H)\otimes^γS_q(\mathcal H)$ is not Arens regular. We further prove that $B(S_2(\mathcal H))\otimes^γS_2(\mathcal H)$ is not Arens regular(with respect to usual multiplication) while it is regular with respect to Schur product. Thus we demonstrate the importance of biregularity condition given in \cite{Ulger} and the convenience of its use to prove Arens regularity or irregularity through some concrete examples.

Some functorial properties of Schatten classes

In this paper, we begin with the study of elements in $C^*$-algebras which are mapped to Schatten class ideals through faithful left regular representation. We further give some functorial properties of Schatten classes on the category of representations of a $C^*$-algebra and category of unitary representations of a group.
