The existence of angular derivatives of holomorphic maps of Siegel domains in a generalization of \(C^*\)-algebras (Q1892725)

For complex Hilbert spaces \(H\) and \(K\), let \({\mathfrak L} (H, K)\) be the Banach space of all bounded linear operators from \(H\) to \(K\) with the operator norm. A closed complex linear subspace \({\mathfrak B}\) of \({\mathfrak L} (H,K)\) is a \(J^*\)-algebra if \(XX^* X\in {\mathfrak B}\) whenever \(X\in {\mathfrak B}\). Let \({\mathfrak B} \subset {\mathfrak L} (H,K)\) be a \(J^*\)-algebra. For a partial isometry \(V\in {\mathfrak B}\), let \({\mathfrak M}_V= \{X\in {\mathfrak B}\): \(2\text{Re } V^* X- X^* (I_K- VV^*)X+ I_H- V^* V> 0\}\). The main objective of this paper is to define and characterize in \({\mathfrak M}_V\) (\(V\) a partial isometry) and in \({\mathfrak N}_V\) (\(V\) an isometry) infinite dimensional angular sets and solve the general problems concerning the existence of angular limits and angular derivatives for holomorphic maps \(F: {\mathfrak M}_V\to {\mathfrak M}_V\) and \(F: {\mathfrak N}_V\to {\mathfrak R}_V\) in such angular sets, respectively. Since \(J^*\)-algebras are natural generalizations of \(C^*\)-algebras, \(B^*\)-algebras, \(JC^*\)-algebras, ternary algebras, complex Hilbert spaces and others, therefore, in particular, various important results follow from this fact. Examples are given. The principal tool are general results of the Pick-Julia type for Siegel domains in \(J^*\)-algebras. This paper is a continuation of the author's previous studies [J. Math. Anal.
