Question on whether, "An entire function, nowhere zero, has an entire logarithm," holds for matrix-valued entire functions as well

It is known that an entire function that is nowhere zero must be the exponential of another entire function. Does this hold for matrix-valued functions as well? That is, given a matrix-valued entire ...

Logarithm of a bounded operator

Let $\mathbb H$ be a Hilbert space and let $A\in \mathcal B(\mathbb H)$ such that the spectrum of $A$ does not meet a closed half-line issued from 0 in the complex plane. Then I guess that $ A=\exp L $...

Is the set of real matrices with at least one real logarithm closed under multiplication?

Let $S$ be the set of real matrices with at least one real logarithm. For some couple of its elements, for example those with at least (one real logarithm each with submultiplicative norm smaller than ...

Inequality of exponentials of Banach operators

(I have moved this question from Stackexchange). Given the operators $\{A_j\}$ in a Banach algebra and a positive integer $p$, let \begin{equation} g=\exp\left(\frac{1}{n}\sum_{j=1}^p A_j\right)\quad\...

Growth bounds for the exponential of an operator

Let $X$ be a complex Banach space and $A:X \to X$ a compact operator. It spectrum is the set $\sigma(A)=\lbrace \lambda \in \mathbb{C}, \ A-\lambda I \text{ is not invertible}\rbrace$. Let $L=\sup\...

Conditions to obtain a real logarithm of a unitary unimodular complex matrix?

The problem statement is the following: $$U=\exp\{iV\}$$ where $U$ is a unitary unimodular matrix of the following form: $$U=\begin{bmatrix}u_1+iu_2&u_3+iu_4\\-u_3+iu_4&u_1-iu_2\end{bmatrix}...

Behavior of a Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff problem at infinity

The Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff problem is to obtain $\log(e^{X}e^{Y})$ where $X,Y$ are appropriate operators. The Dynkin series $$\log(e^{tX}e^{tY})=t(X+Y)+\frac{t^2}{2}[X,Y]+o(t^3)$$ gives an expansion ...
