A note on lattice ordered ‐algebras and Perron–Frobenius theory

Abstract: A classical result of Sherman says that if the space of self‐adjoint elements in a C∗‐algebra scriptA is a lattice with respect to its canonical order, then scriptA is commutative. We give a new proof of this theorem which shows that it is intrinsically connected with the spectral theory of positive operator semigroups. Our methods also show that some important Perron–Frobenius like spectral results fail to hold in any non‐commutative C∗‐algebra.

“…This interpretation of Theorem 1.3 was kindly brought to my attention by Wolfgang Arendt. A similar approach as in the proof above, using Perron–Frobenius theory and Gelfand's T=id theorem to show that a given semigroup generator equals 0, was used in [9, Section 2] to give a new proof of a classical result of Sherman about lattice ordered C‐algebras.The same comments as at the end of [9, Section 2] also apply to the proof above; in particular: (e)The Perron–Frobenius type theorem from [17, Corollary C‐III‐2.13] that we used in the proof relies on quite heavy machinery. However, we only use the result for semigroups with bounded generators, for which it is much simpler to prove — see, for instance, [9, Proposition 2.2]. (f)Our proof also uses Gelfand's T=id theorem for C0‐semigroups which is not quite trivial. But again, we apply this theorem only for semigroups with bounded generator — and for these, it can be derived from the single operator version of Gelfand's T=id theorem, which is a bit simpler (see, for instance, [1, Theorem 1.1]).…”

“…The self-adjoint part A sa := {a ∈ A : a * = a} is a real Banach space, and it becomes an ordered Banach space if we endow it with its usual cone A + sa := {a ∈ A sa : σ(a) ⊆ [0, ∞)}, where σ(a) denotes the spectrum of a. The ordered Banach space (A sa , A + sa ) is not lattice ordered unless A is commutative (this is a classical result of Sherman [47, Theorems 1 and 2], see [24] for a new approach to this result based on the spectral theory of positive operators). Now we describe the almost interior and interior points of A + sa :…”
