Scalar characterization in Banach Jordan algebras

Scalar characterization in Banach Jordan algebras

Using a Diagonalization Theorem obtained when the spectrum is Lipschitzian, we extend a result of G. Braatvedt on scalar characterization in Banach algebras to Banach-Jordan algebras. We also establish that any element of a semisimple Banach-Jordan algebra with the property that all elements in some neighbourhood of the identity are spectrally invariant under multiplication by the quadratic U operator, has analogs with the identity.
