Numerical ranges of conjugations and antilinear operators on a Banach space

Abstract

In this paper, we prove that the numerical range of a conjugation on Banach spaces, using the connected property, is either the unit circle or the unit disc depending the dimension of the given Banach space. When a Banach space is reflexive,  we have the same result for the numerical range of a conjugation by applying path-connectedness which is applicable to the Hilbert space setting. In addition, we show that the numerical ranges of antilinear operators on Banach spaces are contained in annuli.
