Essential order spectra of convolution operators (Q2367458)

Let \(G\) be a locally compact group, \(M(G)\) the Banach algebra of all bounded Borel measures on \(G\), and for \(\mu\in M(G)\) let \(T_{\mu,p}\) be the associated regular operator defined on the Banach lattice \(L^ p(G)\) by convolution, \(T_{\mu,p}(f)= \mu*f\). The spectrum of \(\mu\) in \(M(G)\) is generally larger than that of \(T_{\mu,p}\) in the algebra of all bounded linear operators on \(L^ p(G)\) (\(1\leq p\leq\infty\)). However equality holds for \(G\) amenable if the spectrum of \(T_{\mu,p}\) is computed in the smaller algebra of all regular operators (order spectrum). In this paper this result is extended, for compact \(G\), to essential order spectra. The author introduces the order Browder spectrum \(\beta_ 0(T)\) of a regular operator on a complex Banach lattice \(E\) as the Browder spectrum of \(T\) in the subalgebra \({\mathcal B}^ r(E)\) of regular operators. The properties of \(\beta_ 0\) in relation to various kinds of spectra are investigated. The author then shows that if \(G\) is compact and \(\mu\in M(G)\) then \(\omega(\mu)= W(\mu)= \beta(\mu)= \omega_ 0(T_{\mu,p})= W_ 0(T_{\mu,p})= \beta_ 0(T_{\mu,p})\), \((1\leq p\leq\infty)\), where \(\omega(\mu)\), \(W(\mu)\), \(\beta(\mu)\) are respectively the essential, Weyl, and Browder spectrum of \(\mu\) in \(M(G)\), and \(\omega_ 0(T_{\mu,p})\), \(W_ 0(T_{\mu,p})\), \(\beta_ 0(T_{\mu,p})\) are respectively the essential, Weyl and Browder spectrum of \(T_{\mu,p}\) in the algebra \({\mathcal B}^ r (L^ p(G))\).
