Abstract We show that every free semigroup algebra has a (strongly) unique Banach space predual. We also provide a new simpler proof that a weak- $*$ closed unital operator algebra containing a weak- $*$ dense subalgebra of compact operators has a unique Banach space predual.

Abstract We show that if $E$ is a separable reflexive space, and $L$ is a weak-star closed linear subspace of $L\left( E \right)$ such that $L\cap K\left( E \right)$ is weak-star dense in $L$ , then

A well known result of Ando says that H∞(D) has a unique predual. There have been two natural extensions of this result to non-commutative algebras: Ueda showed that finite maximal subdiagonal
Lebesgue decomposition of functionals and unique preduals for commutants modulo normed ideals
We prove an analogue of the Lebesgue decomposition for continuous functionals on the commutant modulo a reflexive normed ideal of an n-tuple of hermitian operators for which there are quasicentral

Analytic Free Semigroup Algebras and Hopf Algebras
Let $\fS$ be an analytic free semigroup algebra. In this paper, we explore richer structures of $\fS$ and its predual $\fS_*$. We prove that $\fS$ and $\fS_*$ both are Hopf algebras. Moreover, the

We identify the exposed points of the unit ball of the dual space of the ball algebra. As a corollary, we show that the predual of H(Bd) has no extreme points in its unit ball.

We identify the exposed points of the unit ball of the dual space of the ball algebra. As a corollary, we show that the predual of $H^\infty(\mathbb{B}_d)$ has no extreme points in its unit ball.
Erratum to: The algebraic structure of non-commutative analytic Toeplitz algebras

The algebraic structure of the non-commutative analytic Toeplitz algebra Ln is developed in the original article. Some of the results fail for the case n = ∞, and this implies that certain other
Two-phase problems with distributed sources: regularity of the free boundary
• Mathematics
• 2014
We investigate the regularity of the free boundary for a general class of two-phase free boundary problems with non-zero right hand side. We prove that Lipschitz or flat free boundaries are
