Commutators greater than a perturbation of the identityDrnovšek, Roman (Avtor) Kandić, Marko (Avtor) Banach latticespositive operatorscommutatorsordered normed algebrasLet $a$ and $b$ be elements of an ordered normed algebra ${\mathcal A}$ with unit $e$. Suppose that the element $a$ is positive and that for some $\varepsilon > 0$ there exists an element $x\in {\mathcal A}$ with $\|x\|\leq \varepsilon$ such that $ab-ba \geq e+x$. If the norm on ${\mathcal A}$ is monotone, then we show $\|a\|\cdot \|b\|\geq \tfrac{1}{2} \ln \tfrac{1}{\varepsilon}$, which can be viewed as an order analog of Popa's quantitative result for commutators of operators on Hilbert spaces. We also give a relevant example of positive operators $A$ and $B$ on the Hilbert lattice $\ell^2$ such that their commutator $A B - B A$ is greater than an arbitrarily small perturbation of the identity operator.20252024-09-21 05:10:36Članek v reviji162296sl
