Semi-normal operators on uniformly smooth Banach spaces

Abstract

In this paper we shall examine the relationship between the numerical ranges and the spectra for semi-normal operators on uniformly smooth spaces.Let X be a complex Banach space. We denote by X* the dual space of X and by B(X) the space of all bounded linear operators on X. A linear functional F on B(X) is called state if ∥F∥ = F(I) = 1. When x ε X with ∥x∥ = 1, we denoteD(x) = {f ε X*:∥f∥ = f(x) = l}.
