Iterations of quasi-uniform hyperspace constructions

Summary Given a quasi-uniform space (X,U), we study its Hausdorff quasi-uniformity U_H on the set P₀(X) of nonempty subsets of the set X. In particular we are concerned with the question whether at a certain finite stage iterations of the described Hausdorff hyperspace construction applied to two distinct quasi-uniformities on X will necessarily lead to hyperspaces carrying distinct induced topologies.     

Compact composition operators on the Smirnov class

We show that a composition operator on the Smirnov class is compact if and only if it is compact on some (equivalently: every) Hardy space for . Along the way we show that for composition operators on both the formally weaker notion of boundedness, and a formally stronger notion we call metric compactness, are equivalent to compactness.

     

On Uniformly Locally Compact Quasi-Uniform Hyperspaces

We characterize those Tychonoff quasi-uniform spaces for which the Hausdorff-Bourbaki quasi-uniformity is uniformly locally compact on the family of nonempty compact subsets of X. We deduce, among other results, that the Hausdorff-Bourbaki quasi-uniformity of the locally finite quasi-uniformity of a Tychonoff space Xis uniformly locally compact on if and only if Xis paracompact and locally compact. We also introduce the notion of a co-uniformly locally compact quasi-uniform space and show that a Hausdorff topological space is -compact if and only if its (lower) semi-continuous quasi-uniformity is co-uniformly locally compact. A characterization of those Hausdorff quasi-uniform spaces for which the Hausdorff-Bourbaki quasi-uniformity is co-uniformly locally compact on is obtained.     

Cover quasi-uniformities in frames

Quasi-uniformities (not necessarily symmetric uniformities) are usually studied via entourages (special neighbourhoods of the diagonal in X×X) where one can simply forget about the symmetry requirement. This has been done successfully in the point-free context as well, but there is a demand for a covering approach, a.o. because the point-free representation of the square X×X is not without difficulties. Based on the (spatial) ideas from Gantner and Steinlage (1972) [9], a cover type quasi-uniformity was developed in Frith (1987) [6] and other papers using biframes, the point-free variant of bitopologies. In this paper we show that this can be avoided and present a cover type quasi-uniformity structure enriching that of frame directly.     

A normal countably compact not absolutely countably compact space

We construct an example of a normal countably compact not absolutely countably compact space. We also prove that every hereditarily normal countably compact space is absolutely countably compact and suggest a method for construction of hereditarily normal spaces without property .

     

Varieties generated by countably compact Abelian groups

We prove under the assumption of Martin's Axiom that every precompact Abelian group of size belongs to the smallest class of groups that contains all Abelian countably compact groups and is closed under direct products, taking closed subgroups and continuous isomorphic images.

     

Ambiguity functions, Wigner distributions and Cohen's class for LCA groups

In this paper we construct a general class of time-frequency representations for LCA groups which parallel Cohen's class for the real line. For this, we generalize the notion of ambiguity function and Wigner distribution to the setting of general LCA groups in such a way that the Plancherel transform of the ambiguity function coincides with the Wigner distribution. Furthermore, properties of the general ambiguity function and Wigner distribution are studied. In detail we characterize those groups whose ambiguity functions and Wigner distributions vanish at infinity or are square-integrable. Finally, we explicitly construct Cohen's class for the group of p-adic numbers, p prime.     

On the classification of compact quantum groups U_θ(2)

In this paper,we show that the corepresentation of compact group Uθ(2) on the vector space is determined by its infinitesimal generators B0,B2,A0,A1 and A2,where θ is an irrational number.We also show that B0 and B2 commute with Aj,j = 0,1,2,so B0,A0,A1 and A2 are sl(2,C) loop algebra.Then we exhibit all irreducible representations of Uθ(2),which are different from those of group U(2),and use above results to give the classification of quantum groups Uθ(2),which is analogous to that of irrational algebra Aθ.At the same time,we also give all the forms of automorphisms on quantum group Uθ(2).

Rational irreducible characters and rational conjugacy classes in finite groups

We prove that a finite group has two rational-valued irreducible characters if and only if it has two rational conjugacy classes, and determine the structure of any such group. Along the way we also prove a conjecture of Gow stating that any finite group of even order has a non-trivial rational-valued irreducible character of odd degree.

Differential Calculus on Compact Quantum Group Uθ（2） and its Applications

In this paper, via constructing special matrices, we will show that there exists a differential calculus on Uθ（2）, where θ is an irrational number. Then using the above results, we shall discuss the properties of infinitesimal generators of corepresentations of Uθ（2）. And in the final, we shall discuss its irreducible corepresentations and give the Peter-Weyl theorem explicitly for compact quantum group Uθ（2）.     

Atoms, anti-atoms and complements in the lattice of quasi-uniformities

We describe the atoms of the complete lattice (q(X),⊆) of all quasi-uniformities on a given (nonempty) set X. We also characterize those anti-atoms of (q(X),⊆) that do not belong to the quasi-proximity class of the discrete uniformity on X. After presenting some further results on the adjacency relation in (q(X),⊆), we note that (q(X),⊆) is not complemented for infinite X and show how ideas about resolvability of (bi)topological spaces can be used to construct complements for some elements of (q(X),⊆).

Two classes of operators with irreducibility and the small and compact perturbations of them

This paper gives the concepts of finite dimensional irreducible operators((FDI) operators)and infinite dimensional irreducible operators((IDI) operators). Discusses the relationships of(FDI)operators,(IDI) operators and strongly irreducible operators((SI) operators) and illustrates some properties of the three classes of operators. Some sufficient conditions for the finite-dimensional irreducibility of operators which have the forms of upper triangular operator matrices are given. This paper proves that every operator with a singleton spectrum is a small compact perturbation of an(FDI) operator on separable Banach spaces and shows that every bounded linear operator T can be approximated by operators in(Σ FDI)(X) with respect to the strong-operator topology and every compact operator K can be approximated by operators in(Σ FDI)(X) with respect to the norm topology on a Banach space X with a Schauder basis, where(ΣFDI)(X) := {T∈B(X) : T=Σki=1Ti, Ti ∈(FDI), k ∈ N}.

The Chern-Mather class of the multiview variety

The multiview varietyassociated to a collection of N cameras records which sequences of image points in ?^2N can be obtained by taking pictures of a given world point x∈?³ with the cameras. In order to reconstruct a scene from its picture under the different cameras, it is important to be able to find the critical points of the function which measures the distance between a general point u∈?^2N and the multiview variety. In this paper we calculate a specific degree 3 polynomial that computes the number of critical points as a function of N. In order to do this, we construct a resolution of the multiview variety and use it to compute its Chern-Mather class.     

On the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev representations of mapping class groups

We consider a central extension of the mapping class group of a surface with a collection of framed colored points. The Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev TQFTs associated to and induce linear representations of this group. We show that the denominators of matrices which describe these representations over a cyclotomic field can be restricted in many cases. In this way, we give a proof of the known result that if the surface is a torus with no colored points, the representations have finite image.
