Abstract

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a complex Hilbert space and $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $\mathcal{H}$. For $A \in \mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$, we refer to the sequence $\{|A^{n}|^{1/n}\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ as the normalized power sequence of $A$. In this article, we study the norm convergence property, i.e. convergence of normalized power sequence in the norm topology for operators belonging to type $\mathrm{I}_k$ von Neumann algebras acting on a separable complex Hilbert space. By utilizing continuous upper-triangular forms via unitary conjugations, we construct specific projection-valued families to prove that every operator in a type $\mathrm{I}_k$ von Neumann algebra is decomposable. As a consequence, this immediately establishes that every such operator possesses the norm convergence property, extending recent results known for matrices with complex-valued entries, compact operators on a separable Hilbert space, spectral operators, and Riesz operators. Finally, we provide a counterexample within the type $I_\infty$ factor $\mathcal{B}(l^2(\mathbb{N}))$ to demonstrate that this convergence property generally fails when the dimension $k$ is infinite.

Partial factorization and reflexivity of operator algebras

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space and $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $\mathcal{H}$. A subalgebra $\mathfrak{A}$ in $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ has the left (resp.\ right) partial factorization property if for any invertible operator $S\in\mathc...

Parabolic induction for Takiff algebras and character formulas in Chari's category $\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}$

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite-dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebra, and let $\mathcal{C}_N\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{g}\otimes (\mathbb{C}[t]/t^{N+1}\mathbb{C}[t])$ denote the $N$-th Takiff algebra of $\mathfrak{g}$. We introduce a notion of parabolic subalgebras of $\mathcal{C}_N\mathfrak{g}$ and classify them in t...

Ideals of homomorphic images of the enveloping algebra of the Witt algebra

Let $W_{\geq -1} = \mathbb{C}[t]\partial$ and $W = \mathbb{C}[t, t^{-1}]\partial$ be the Witt algebra of algebraic vector fields on $\mathbb{C}$ and $\mathbb{C}^*$ respectively. In this paper, we make significant progress toward the open conjecture that the enveloping algebras $\mathrm{U}(W_{\geq -1})$ and $\mathrm{U}(...

Isometries on algebras of locally measurable operators

Let $LS(\mathcal{M})$ be the algebra of locally measurable operators affiliated with a von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$, equipped with an $F$-norm defined via a dimension function and a probability measure. We prove that every bijective linear isometry between $LS(\mathcal{M})$ admits a canonical representation of the...

Duals of separable Banach Spaces as Calkin Algebras and Universal Ideal Quotients

For $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$ and every separable Banach space $V$, we use an oracle-relative two-sorted finite-extension construction, whose oracle records the local rational structure of $V$, to construct a separable Banach space $X_V$ such that $$ \operatorname{Cal}(X_V)=\mathcal{B}(X_V)/\mathcal{K}(X_...
