Abstract: Based on Smale mean value conjecture extit{[Bull. Amer. Math. Soc., 1981]} and Dubinin-Sugawa dual mean value conjecture extit{[Proc. Japan Acad. Ser. A Math. Sci., 2009]} we formulate the following conjectures. extbf{C*-algebraic Smale Mean Value Conjecture : Let $mathcalA$ be a commutative C*-algebra. Let $P(z)=(z-a_1)cdots(z-a_n)$ be a polynomial of degree $ngeq2$ over $mathcalA$, $a_1,dots,a_{n}inmathcalA$. If $zinmathcalA$ is not a critical point of $P$, then there exists a critical point $winmathcalA$ of $P$ such that �egin{align*} frac{|P(z)-P(w)|}{|z-w|}leq 1 |P'(z)| end{align*} or �egin{align*} frac{|P(z)-P(w)|}{|z-w|}leq frac{n-1}{n} |P'(z)|=frac{operatorname{deg} (P)-1}{operatorname{deg} (P)} |P'(z)|. end{align*}} extbf{C*-algebraic Dubinin-Sugawa Dual Mean Value Conjecture : Let $mathcalA$ be a commutative C*-algebra. Let $P(z)=(z-a_1)cdots(z-a_n)$ be a polynomial of degree $ngeq2$ over $mathcalA$, $a_1,dots,a_{n}inmathcalA$. If $zinmathcalA$ is not a critical point of $P$, then there exists a critical point $winmathcalA$ of $P$ such that �egin{align*} frac{|P'(z)|}{operatorname{deg} (P)} =frac{|P'(z)|}{n} leq frac{|P(z)-P(w)|}{|z-w|}. end{align*}} We show that (even a strong form of) C*-algebraic Smale mean value conjecture and C*-algebraic Dubinin-Sugawa dual mean value conjecture hold for degree 2 C*-algebraic polynomials over commutative C*-algebras.
