Abstract Let $N\in B(H)$ be a normal operator acting on a real or complex Hilbert space $H$. Define $N^\dagger:=N_1^{-1}\oplus 0:\mathcal{R}(N)\oplus \mathcal{K}(N)\rightarrow H$, where $N_1=N|_{\mathcal{R}(N)}$. Let the {\it fractional semigroup} $\mathfrak{F}r(W)$ denote the collection of all words of the form $f_1^\diamond f_2^\diamond \cdots f_k^\diamond~$ in which $~f_j \in L^\infty (W)~$ and $~f^\diamond~$ is either $~f~$ or $~f^\dagger$, where $f^\dagger=\chi_{ \{ f\neq 0 \}}/(f+\chi_{\{f=0\}})$ and $L^\infty(W)$ is a certain normed functional algebra of functions defined on $\sigma_\mathbb{F}(W)$, besides that, $W=W^* \in B(H)$ and $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$ indicates the underlying scalar field. The {\it fractional calculus} $(f_1^\diamond f_2^\diamond \cdots f_k^\diamond)(W)$ on $\mathfrak{F}r(W)$ is defined as $f_1^\diamond(W) f_2^\diamond (W) \cdots f_k^\diamond (W)$, where $f_j^\dagger(W)=(f_j(W))^\dagger$. The present paper studies sufficient conditions on $f_j$ to ensure such fractional calculus are unbounded normal operators. The results will be extended beyond continuous functions.

Abstract Let $x, y\in \mathbb{R}^n.$ We use the notation $x\prec_w y$ when $x$ is weakly majorized by $y$. We say that $x\prec_w y$ is decomposable at $k$ $(1\leq k < n)$ if $x\prec_w y$ has a coincidence at $k$ and $y_{k}\neq y_{k+1}$. Corresponding to this majorization we have a doubly substochastic matrix $P$. The paper presents $x\prec_w y$ is decomposable at some $k$ $(1\leq k<n)$ if and only if $P$ is of the form $D\oplus Q$ where $D$ and $Q$ are doubly stochastic and doubly substochastic matrices, respectively. Also, we write some algorithms to obtain $x$ from $y$ when $x\prec_w y$.

Approximate biprojectivity of Banach algebras with respect to their character spaces

Abstract     In this paper we introduce approximate $\phi$-biprojective Banach algebras, where $\phi$ is a non-zero character. We show that for SIN group $G$, the group algebra $L^{1}(G)$ is approximately $\phi$-biprojective if and only if $G$ is amenable, where $\phi$ is the augmentation character. Also we show that the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ over a locally compact $G$ is always approximately $\phi$-biprojective.

On Some Properties of K-g-Riesz Bases in Hilbert Spaces

Pages 31-42

Azam Shekari, Mohamad Reza Abdollahpour

Abstract In this paper, we study the K-Riesz bases and the K-g-Riesz bases in Hilbert spaces. We show that for $K \in B(\mathcal{H})$, a K-Riesz basis is precisely the image of an orthonormal basis under a bounded left-invertible operator such that the range of this operator includes the range of $K$. Also, we show that $\lbrace \Lambda_i \in B(\mathcal{H}, \mathcal{H}_i ) : \, i \in I \rbrace$ is a K-g-Riesz basis for $\mathcal{H}$ with respect to $\lbrace \mathcal{H}_i \rbrace_{i \in I}$
if and only if there exists a g-orthonormal basis $\lbrace Q_i \rbrace_{i \in I}$
for $\mathcal{H}$ and a bounded right-invertible operator $U $ on $\mathcal{H}$
such that $\Lambda_i = Q_i U$ for all $i \in I$, and $R(K) \subset R(U^{*})$.

Abstract Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a Banach algebra with a left approximate identity.
    In this paper, under each of the following conditions, we prove that $\mathcal{A}$ is zero product determined.
    
    (i) For every continuous bilinear mapping $\phi$ from ${\mathcal A}\times {\mathcal A}$ into ${\mathcal X}$, where ${\mathcal X}$ is a Banach space, there exists $k>0$ such that 
    $\Vert \phi(a,b)\Vert\leq k \Vert ab\Vert$, for all $a,b\in\mathcal{A}$.
    
    (ii) $\mathcal{A}$ is generated by idempotents.
