Some remarks on general commutators theorems (Q944125): Difference between revisions

The paper under review is concerned with some generalizations of the classical theorem by Fuglede and Putnam about commutation of operators on Hilbert spaces. Let \(A\) be a unital complex Banach algebra and assume that \(a\in A\) is such that there exists \(b\in A\) with \(\max\{\|\exp(-\lambda b)\exp(\overline{\lambda} a)\|,\|\exp(-\overline{\lambda}a)\exp(\lambda b)\|\}= o(|\lambda|^{1/2})\) as \(|\lambda|\to\infty\). Among other results, it is shown that if \(x\in A\) is such that \(ax=xa\), then \(bx=xb\) and, if \(ax=xb\), then \(xa=bx\). The author also considers some asymptotical versions of the Fuglede--Putnam theorem for some operators acting on complex Banach spaces.
