Abstract:

Consider a countably generated Hilbert $C^\ast$-module $\mathcal{M}$ over a unital $C^\ast$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$. There is a measure of noncompactness $\lambda$ defined, roughly as the distance from finitely generated sets, which is independent of any topology. We compare $\lambda$ to the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness with respect to the family of seminorms that induce a topology recently introduced by Troitsky, denoted by $\chi$. We obtain $\lambda\equiv\chi$. Related inequalities involving other known measures of noncompactness, e.g., Kuratowski and Istrăţescu are also obtained, as well as, some related results on adjointable operators.

Keywords: Hilbert $C^\ast$-module, measures of noncompactness, uniform structure
