Theses and Dissertations
In this dissertation we investigate the algebra numerical range defined by the Banach algebra of regular operators on a Dedekind complete complex Banach lattice, i.e., V (Lr(E), T) = {Φ(T) : Φ ∈ Lr(E)∗, ||Φ|| = 1 = Φ(I)}. For T in the center Z(E) of E we prove that V (Lr(E), T) = co(σ(T)). For T ⊥ I we prove that V (Lr(E), T) is a disk centered at the origin. We then consider the part of V (Lr(E), T) obtained by restricting ourselves to positive states Φ ∈ Lr(E)∗. In this case we show that we get a …
