# Spaces of Operators, the ψ-Daugavet Property, and Numerical Indices

Spaces of Operators, the ψ-Daugavet Property, and Numerical Indices Suppose ψ : [0, ∞) → [1, ∞) is a strictly increasing function. A Banach space X is said to have the ψ-Daugavet Property if the inequality $$\|I_X\,{+}\,T\|\,{\geq}\, \psi(\|T\|)$$ holds for every compact operator T : X →  X. We show that, if 1 < p < ∞ and K(ℓp)↪ X ↪ B(ℓp), then X has the ψ-Daugavet Property with $$\psi(t)\,{=}\,(1\,{+}\,c_p t^q)^{1/q}$$ (here $$q\,{=}\,\max\{2,p\}$$ and c p is an absolute constant). We also prove that a C *-algebra A is commutative if and only if $$1\,{+}\,\|T\|\,{=}\,\sup\{\|I_A\,{+}\,\omega T\|\,||\omega| \,{=}\, 1\}$$ for any $$T: A \,{\rightarrow}\, A$$ . Together, these results allow us to distinguish between some types of von Neumann algebras by considering spaces of operators on them. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Positivity Springer Journals
