‘Growth conditions on powers of Hermitian elements’

The above paper aimed to obtain Banach algebra equivalents of the elegant theorems of Roe [2] and Burkill [1] which gave characterizations of the sine function. Professor John Duncan has kindly pointed out that the paper contains two oversights, with the result that the theorems stated are not the strict Banach algebra equivalents as was claimed. (The assertion on p. 117 that T is Hermitian is false if μ > 0, and at the bottom of p. 117 it follows from Theorem 2 that F0(t) = c1eit + c2eit so that a2 – e = 0.) Whilst Theorems 1–3 are correct as stated, the conclusions of Theorems 1 and 3 must be strengthened to provide equivalent versions when μ > 0. In the basic case when μ = 0, the analysis remains as given.
