Abstract
Let E be a Dedekind complete complex Banach lattice and let \(\mathcal L_{r}(E)\) denote the Banach lattice algebra of regular operators on E. Then a bounded linear functional \(\Phi :\mathcal L_{r}(E)\to \mathbb C\) is called a regular state if Φ(I) = ∥ Φ∥ = 1. Basic properties of regular states are derived and a detailed description of order continuous regular states is obtained for ℓ p-spaces. The regular states define the regular numerical algebra range \(V(\mathcal L_{r}(E), T)=\{\Phi (T): \Phi \mbox{ a regular state}\}\). We describe the regular algebra numerical range for operators T in the center Z(E) of E and for operators T disjoint with the center. Using the description of regular states on ℓ p(n), we characterize the regular numerical range preserving linear operators on \(\mathcal L_{r}(\ell _{p}(n))\).
