Let A be a complex unital Banach algebra with unit 1. AnHere d(z, σ(a)) denotes the distance between z and the spectrum σ(a) of a. Some examples of such elements are given and also some properties are proved. It is shown that a G 1 -class element is a scalar multiple of the unit 1 if and only if its spectrum is a singleton set consisting of that scalar. It is proved that if T is a G 1 class operator on a Banach space X, then every isolated point of σ(T ) is an eigenvalue of T . If, in addition, σ(T ) is finite, then X is a direct sum of eigenspaces of T .2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 46B99, 47A05.
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.
