Let $A$ be a non-unital Banach algebra and let $A_e = A \oplus {\mathbb C}1$ be the unitization of $A$. It is true that if $A_e$ has the spectral extension property (SEP), then $A$ has the same. Does the converse hold? In this paper, we give some necessary as well as some equivalent conditions.
In this article, we address the following question: Is it true that the spatial numerical range (SNR) $V_A(a)$ of an element $a$ in a normed algebra $(A, \|\cdot\|)$ is always convex? If the normed algebra is unital, then it is convex \cite[Theorem 3, P.16]{BoDu:71}. In non-unital case, we believe that the problem is still open and its answer seems to be negative. In search of such a normed algebra, we have proved that the SNR $V_A(a)$ is convex in several non-unital Banach algebras.
Let $(A, \|\cdot\|)$ be any normed algebra (not necessarily complete nor unital). Let $a \in A$ and let $V_A(a)$ denote the spatial numerical range of $a$ in $(A, \|\cdot\|)$. Let $A_e = A + {\mathbb C} 1$ be the unitization of $A$. If $A$ is faithful, then we get two norms on $A_e$; namely, the operator norm $\|\cdot\|_{op}$ and the $\ell^1$-norm $\|\cdot\|_1$. Let $A^{op} = (A, \|\cdot\|_{op})$, $A_e^{op} = (A_e, \|\cdot\|_{op})$, and $A_e^1 = (A_e, \|\cdot\|_1)$. We can calculate the spatial numerical range of $a$ in all these three normed algebras. Because the spatial numerical range highly depend on the identity as well as on the completeness and the regularity of the norm, they are different. In this paper, we study the relations among them. Most of the results proved in \cite{BoDu:71, BoDu:73} will become corollaries of our results. We shall also show that the completeness and regularity of the norm is not required in \cite[Theorem 2.3]{GaHu:89}.
We prove that the faithful and uniqueness of norm properties are stable in different product algebras such as direct-sum product algebra, convolution product algebra, and module product algebra. Further, we exhibit that these properties are not stable in null product algebra, and also give a common sufficient condition in terms of algebra norm for the co-dimension of $\mathcal{A}^2 = \text{span} \{ ab : a,b \in \mathcal{A}\}$ to be finite in $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{A}^{2} = \mathcal{A} \ ( \text{when } \overline{\mathcal{A}^2} = \mathcal{A})$.
Let $ω$ be a weight on a right cancellative semigroup $S$. Let $\|\cdot\|_ω$ be the weighted norm on the weighted discrete semigroup algebra $\ell^1(S, ω)$. In this paper, we prove that the weight $ω$ satisfies F-property if and only if the operator norm $\| \cdot \|_{ωop}$ of $\| \cdot \|_ω$ is exactly equal to another weighted norm $\| \cdot \|_{\widetildeω_1}$ [Theorem 2.5 ($iii$)]. Though its proof is elementary, the result is unexpectedly surprising. In particular, $\| \cdot \|_{1 op}$ is same as $\| \cdot \|_1$ on $\ell^1(S)$. Moreover, various examples are discussed to understand the relating among $\| \cdot \|_{ωop}$, $\| \cdot \|_ω$, and $\ell^1(S, ω)$.
Let $f$ be a continuous function on the unit circle $Γ$, whose Fourier series is $ω$-absolutely convergent for some weight $ω$ on the set of integers $\mathcal{Z}$. If $f$ is nowhere vanishing on $Γ$, then there exists a weight $ν$ on $\mathcal{Z}$ such that $1/f$ had $ν$-absolutely convergent Fourier series. This includes Wiener's classical theorem. As a corollary, it follows that if $ϕ$ is holomorphic on a neighbourhood of the range of $f$, then there exists a weight $χ$ on $\mathcal{Z}$ such that \hbox{$ϕ\circ f$} has $χ$-absolutely convergent Fourier series. This is a weighted analogue of Lévy's generalization of Wiener's theorem. In the theorems, $ν$ and $χ$ are non-constant if and only if $ω$ is non-constant. In general, the results fail if $ν$ or $χ$ is required to be the same weight $ω$.
