We establish a formula for the essential spectral radius of an endomorphism T of Lipschitz algebras under a condition which is equivalent to the quasicompactness of the endomorphism T . We also conclude a necessary and sufficient condition for an endomorphism of these algebras to be Riesz. Finally, we get a relation for the spectrum and the set of eigenvalues of a quasicompact and Riesz endomorphism of these algebras.1. Introduction. Let (X, d) be a compact metric space with infinitely many points and 0 < α ≤ 1. The Lipschitz algebra of order α, Lip(X, α), is the algebra of all complex-valued functions f on X for whichThe subalgebra of those functions f withis denoted by lip(X, α). These Lipschitz algebras were first studied by Sherbert [12, 13]. The algebras Lip(X, α) for 0 < α ≤ 1 and lip(X, α) for 0 < α < 1 are natural Banach function algebras on X under the norm ∥f ∥ α = ∥f ∥ X +p α (f ), where ∥f ∥ X = sup x∈X |f (x)|. Recall that a function algebra A on a compact Hausdorff space X is called natural if every nonzero complex homomorphism on A is an evaluation homomorphism at some point of X [3, Definition 4.1.3]. We note that Lip(X, 1) ⊆ lip(X, α) ⊆ Lip(X, α) (see [1, 7]).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
