# DISCUSSIONS ON PARTIAL ISOMETRIES IN BANACH SPACES AND BANACH ALGEBRAS

• Published : 2017.03.31

#### Abstract

The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, we introduce the concept of semi-partial isometry in a Banach algebra and carry out a comparison and a classification study for this concept. In particular, we show that in the context of $C^*$-algebras this concept coincides with the notion of partial isometry. Our results encompass several earlier ones concerning partial isometries in Hilbert spaces, Banach spaces and $C^*$-algebras. Finally, we study the notion of (m, p)-semi partial isometries.
