On centralizers of certain Banach algebras

arXiv:2306.15641

Abstract

Let be an algebra with a right identity. In this paper, we study centralizers of and show that every centralizer of is a two-sided centralizer. In the case where, is normed algebra, we also prove that centralizers of are bounded. Then, we apply the results for some group algebras and verify that has a nonzero weakly compact centralizer if and only if is compact and the center of is non-zero. Finally, we investigate Jordan centralizers of and determine them.
