Abstract

In this note we collect some significant contributions on metric invariants for complex Banach algebras and Jordan--Banach algebras established during the last fifteen years. This note is mainly expository, but it also contains complete proofs and arguments, which in many cases are new or have been simplified. We have also included several new results. The common goal in the results is to seek for "natural" subsets, $\mathfrak{S}_{A},$ associated with each complex Banach or Jordan--Banach algebra $A$, sets which when equipped with a certain metric, $d_{A}$, enjoys the property that each surjective isometry from $(\mathfrak{S}_{A},d_A)$ to a similar set, $(\mathfrak{S}_{B},d_B),$ associated with another Banach or Jordan--Banach algebra $B$, extends to a surjective real-linear isometry from $A$ onto $B$. In case of a positive answer to this question, the problem of discussing whether in such a case the algebras $A$ and $B$ are in fact isomorphic or Jordan isomorphic is the subsequent question. The main results presented here will cover the cases in which the sets $(\mathfrak{S}_{A},d_A)$ and $(\mathfrak{S}_{B},d_B)$ are in one of the following situations: $(\checkmark)$ Subsets of the set of invertible elements in a unital complex Banach algebra or in a unital complex Jordan--Banach algebra with the metric induced by the norm. Specially in the cases of unital C$^*$- and JB$^*$-algebras. $(\checkmark)$ The sets of positive invertible elements in unital C$^*$- or JB$^*$-algebras with respect to the metric induced by the norm and with respect to the Thompson's metric. $(\checkmark)$ Subsets of the set of unitary elements in unital C$^*$- and JB$^*$-algebras.

Typical dynamical properties of operators on $\ell_p$

We investigate the typical dynamical properties of hypercyclic operators in $\mathcal{L}_M(X)$, the set of all bounded linear operators on $X$ whose norms are at most $M$, when $X=\ell_p$, $1< p<\infty$. We show that, with respect to SOT$^*$, a typical operator $T\in \mathcal{L}_M(X)$ is weakly mixing, is weakly disjoint from a given hypercyclic operator $S$, is not topologically ergodic, and satisfies $(T,T^2,\dotsc,T^k)$ is disjoint hypercyclic for any $k\geq 2$. We also study the typical dynamical properties for the concrete family $\mathcal{M}=\{I+B_w\in \mathcal{L}(X)\colon w\in c_0(\mathbb{Z})\}$, endowed with the norm topology, where $B_w$ is a bilateral weighted backward shift.

A bi-Lipschitz characterization of strong minimum-attainment for Lipschitz maps

We completely characterize the denseness of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz functions, a minimum analogue for strongly norm-attaining Lipschitz functions, in terms of bi-Lipschitz embeddings. More precisely, our main result shows that the set of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz functions defined on a complete metric space $M$ fails the denseness if and only if $M$ is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to a subset of $\mathbb{R}$ with positive Lebesgue measure, or equivalently, if $M$ admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into $\mathbb{R}$ and $M$ has positive 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure. As a consequence, we provide an isometric characterization of the pure 1-unrectifiability of $M$ in terms of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz maps defined on bi-Lipschitz copies of closed subsets of $M$. Several counterexamples showing that the main result cannot be naturally extended to the vector-valued setting are also presented.

On weak dominance of t-conorms over t-norms

The weak dominance of aggregation operators, particularly between triangular norms (t-norms) and triangular conorms (t-conorms), has attracted considerable attention in aggregation operator theory. While several characterizations have been obtained for Archimedean and continuous cases, a general criterion for continuous t-conorms over continuous t-norms remains to be fully clarified. In this paper, we provide a complete characterization of a continuous t-conorm weakly dominating a continuous t-norm. We first reduce the problem for ordinal sum operators to that for their single Archimedean components, and then express the weak dominance condition entirely in terms of the additive generators of these components. Our approach covers both strict and nilpotent cases uniformly, and recovers the known results for Archimedean operators as a special case.
