<Emphasis Type="Italic">ψ</Emphasis>-continuous functions

Let be a ψ-density topology for a fixed function ψ. This paper is concerned with the family of ψ-continuous functions, that means continuous functions from (ℝ, ) into (ℝ, ). The family of such functions forms a lattice and is not closed under addition and uniform convergence. There exist functions ψ for which even linear functions are not ψ-continuous.      

On equivariant embedding of Hilbert <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>* modules

We prove that an arbitrary (not necessarily countably generated) Hilbert G - module on a G - C ^* algebra admits an equivariant embedding into a trivial G - module, provided G is a compact Lie group and its action on is ergodic.     

Three-dimensional sets with small sumset

We describe the structure of three dimensional sets of lattice points, having a small doubling property. Let be a finite subset of ℤ³ such that dim = 3. If and , then lies on three parallel lines. Moreover, for every three dimensional finite set that lies on three parallel lines, if , then is contained in three arithmetic progressions with the same common difference, having together no more than terms. These best possible results confirm a recent conjecture of Freiman and cannot be sharpened by reducing the quantity υ or by increasing the upper bounds for .     

On ideals and quotients of A \mathcal{T} -algebras

Some results on A -algebras are given. We study the problem when ideals, quotients and hereditary subalgebras of A -algebras are A -algebras or A -algebras, and give a necessary and sufficient condition of a hereditary subalgebra of an A -algebra being an A -algebra.     

Hyperbolic unit groups and quaternion algebras

We classify the quadratic extensions and the finite groups G for which the group ring [G] of G over the ring of integers of K has the property that the group of units of augmentation 1 is hyperbolic. We also construct units in the ℤ-order of the quaternion algebra , when it is a division algebra.     

Roots of C*-algebra elements under numerical range condition

Let be a C*-algebra with unit 1. For each a ∈ , the C*-algebra numerical range is defined by V(a) = {φ(a): φ ∈ , φ ≥ 0,φ(1) = 1}. In a 2003 paper Li, Rodman and Spitkovsky have found the ω-th roots of elements in C*-algebra under a numerical range condition, when ω ∈ [1,∞). In this paper, we will give a short proof of the above result in the case of ω is a positive integer number. We also give a simple proof for ω-th root of an element a ∈ , when ω ∈ [1,∞) and V(a)∩ {z ∈ ℂ: z ≤ 0} = .

<Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis><Subscript>0</Subscript>-group and approximate similarity invariants of strongly irreducible operators

Let H olenote a complex separable Hilbert space and L(H) denote the collection of bounded linear operators on H. An operator T ∈ L(H) is said to be strongly irreducible if T does not commute with any nontrivial idempotent. Herrero and Jiang showed that the norm-closure of the class of all strongly irreducible operators is the class of all operators with connected spectrum. This result can be considered as an approximate inverse of the Riesz decomposition theorem. In the paper, we give a more precise charact...

Similar characterizations are given for the cases when is a u-ideal in for every Banach space Y, when is a u-ideal in for every Banach space Y, and when is a u-ideal in for every Banach space Y.

Parabolic twists for the linear algebras <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>−1</Subscript>

New solutions of twist equations for the universal enveloping algebras U (A_n−1) are found. These solutions can be represented as products of full chains of extended Jordanian twists Abelian factors (“rotations”) , and sets of quasi-Jordanian twists . The latter are generalizations of Jordanian twists (with carrier b²) for special deformed extensions of the Hopf algebra U (b²). The carrier subalgebra for the composition is a nonminimal parabolic subalgebra in A _n−1 such that . The parabolic twisting elements are obtained in an explicit form. Details of the construction are illustrated by considering the examples n = 4 and n = 11. Bibliography: 21 titles. Published in Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 347, 2007, pp. 187–213.     

Perfect difference sets constructed from Sidon sets

A set of positive integers is a perfect difference set if every nonzero integer has a unique representation as the difference of two elements of . We construct dense perfect difference sets from dense Sidon sets. As a consequence of this new approach we prove that there exists a perfect difference set such that

Given two vectors x, y in a Hilbert space and a weakly closed -module , we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a compact operator T in satisfying Tx = y.     

Compact corigid objects in triangulated categories and co-<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>-structures

In the work of Hoshino, Kato and Miyachi, [11], the authors look at t-structures induced by a compact object, , of a triangulated category, , which is rigid in the sense of Iyama and Yoshino, [12]. Hoshino, Kato and Miyachi show that such an object yields a non-degenerate t-structure on whose heart is equivalent to Mod(End()^op). Rigid objects in a triangulated category can the thought of as behaving like chain differential graded algebras (DGAs). Analogously, looking at objects which behave like cochain DGAs naturally gives the dual notion of a corigid object. Here, we see that a compact corigid object, , of a triangulated category, , induces a structure similar to a t-structure which we shall call a co-t-structure. We also show that the coheart of this non-degenerate co-t-structure is equivalent to Mod(End()^op), and hence an abelian subcategory of .

The class of projectively condensed semigroups is a quasivariety of unary semigroups, the class of projective orthomonoids is a subquasivariety of . Some well-known classes of generalized completely regular semigroups will be regarded as subquasivarieties of .

The hardy and bellman operators in spaces connected with H( \mathbb{T} ) and BMO( \mathbb{T} )

Assume that 1 ≤ p < ∞ and a function f ∈ L ^p [0, π] has the Fourier series $ \sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {a_n } Assume that 1 ≤ p < ∞ and a function f ∈ L ^p [0, π] has the Fourier series cos nx. According to one result of G.H. Hardy, the series cos nx is the Fourier series for a certain function (f) ∈ L ^p [0, π]. But if 1 < p ≤ ∞ and f ∈ L ^p [0, π], then the series cos nx is the Fourier series for a certain function (f) ∈ L ^p [0, π]. Similar assertions are true for sine series. This allows one to define the Hardy operator on L ^p (), 1 ≤ p < ∞, and to define the Bellman operator on L ^p (), 1 < p ≤ ∞. In this paper we prove that the Bellman operator boundedly acts in VMO(), and the Hardy operator also maps a certain subspace C() onto VMO(). We also prove the invariance of certain classes of functions with given majorants of modules of continuity or best approximations in the spaces H(), L(), VMO() with respect to the Hardy and Bellman operators.

Some functional equations on standard operator algebras

The main purpose of this paper is to prove the following result. Let H be a complex Hilbert space, let (H) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H, and let (H) ⊂ (H) be a standard operator algebra which is closed under the adjoint operation. Suppose that T: (H) → (H) is a linear mapping satisfying T(AA* A) = T(A)A* A − AT(A*)A + AA*T(A) for all A ∈ (H). Then T is of the form T(A) = AB + BA for all A ∈ (H), where B is a fixed operator from (H). A result concerning functional equations related to bicircular projections is proved
