$L^p$-operator algebras with approximate identities, I

David P. Blecher and N. Christopher Phillips

Vol. 303 (2019), No. 2, 401–457
Abstract

We initiate an investigation into how much the existing theory of (nonselfadjoint) operator algebras on a Hilbert space generalizes to algebras acting on Lp-spaces. In particular we investigate the applicability of the theory of real positivity, which has recently been useful in the study of L2-operator algebras and Banach algebras, to algebras of bounded operators on Lp-spaces. In the process we answer some open questions on real positivity in Banach algebras from work of Blecher and Ozawa.
