(APD)-property of -algebras by extensions of -algebras with (APD)

A unital -algebra is said to have the (APD)-property if every nonzero element in has the approximate polar decomposition. Let be a closed ideal of . Suppose that and have (APD). In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition that makes have (APD). Furthermore, we show that if and or is a simple purely infinite -algebra, then has (APD).

     

Automatic continuity of -derivations on -algebras

Let be a -algebra acting on a Hilbert space , let be a linear mapping and let be a -derivation. Generalizing the celebrated theorem of Sakai, we prove that if is a continuous -mapping, then is automatically continuous. In addition, we show the converse is true in the sense that if is a continuous --derivation, then there exists a continuous linear mapping such that is a --derivation. The continuity of the so-called - -derivations is also discussed.

     

Tensor products of -weakly closed nest algebra submodules

In this paper we prove that for any unital -weakly closed algebra which is -weakly generated by finite-rank operators in , every -weakly closed -submodule has . In the case of nest algebras, if are nests, we obtain the following -fold tensor product formula:

where each is the -weakly closed Alg -submodule determined by an order homomorphism from into itself.

Global dominated splittings and the Newhouse phenomenon

We prove that given a compact -dimensional boundaryless manifold , , there exists a residual subset of the space of diffeomorphisms such that given any chain-transitive set of , then either admits a dominated splitting or else is contained in the closure of an infinite number of periodic sinks/sources. This result generalizes the generic dichotomy for homoclinic classes given by Bonatti, Diaz, and Pujals (2003).

It follows from the above result that given a -generic diffeomorphism , then either the nonwandering set may be decomposed into a finite number of pairwise disjoint compact sets each of which admits a dominated splitting, or else exhibits infinitely many periodic sinks/sources (the `` Newhouse phenomenon"). This result answers a question of Bonatti, Diaz, and Pujals and generalizes the generic dichotomy for surface diffeomorphisms given by Mañé (1982).

     

Single elements and module isomorphisms of some operator algebra modules

In this paper, we first introduce the concept of single elements in a module. A systematic study of single elements in the Alg-module is initiated, where is a completely distributive subspace lattice on a Hilbert space . Furthermore, as an application of single elements, we study module isomorphisms between norm closed Alg-modules, where is a nest, and obtain the following result: Suppose that are norm closed Alg-modules and that is a module isomorphism. Then and there exists a non-zero complex number such that .

     

Lightface -indescribable cardinals

-absoluteness for forcing means that for any forcing , . `` inaccessible to reals' means that for any real , . To measure the exact consistency strength of `` -absoluteness for forcing and is inaccessible to reals', we introduce a weak version of a weakly compact cardinal, namely, a (lightface) -indescribable cardinal; has this property exactly if it is inaccessible and .

     

On an approximate automorphism on a -algebra

It is shown that for an approximate algebra homomorphism on a Banach -algebra , there exists a unique algebra -homomorphism near the approximate algebra homomorphism. This is applied to show that for an approximate automorphism on a unital -algebra , there exists a unique automorphism near the approximate automorphism. In fact, we show that the approximate automorphism is an automorphism.

     

An obstruction for the mean curvature of a conformal immersion

We prove a Pohozaev type identity for non-linear eigenvalue equations of the Dirac operator on Riemannian spin manifolds with boundary. As an application, we obtain that the mean curvature of a conformal immersion satisfies where is a conformal vector field on and where the integration is carried out with respect to the Euclidean volume measure of the image. This identity is analogous to the Kazdan-Warner obstruction that appears in the problem of prescribing the scalar curvature on inside the standard conformal class.

     

An ultrafilter with property

Let be a -supercompact cardinal. We show that carries a normal ultrafilter with a property introduced by Menas. With it we give a transparent proof of Kamo's theorem that carries a normal ultrafilter with the partition property.

     

-boundedness for the Hilbert transform and maximal operator along a class of nonconvex curves

Some sufficient conditions on a real polynomial and a convex function are given in order for the Hilbert transform and maximal operator along to be bounded on , for all in , with bounds independent of the coefficients of . The same conclusion is shown to hold for the corresponding hypersurface in under weaker hypotheses on .

Let be a countably generated Hilbert -module over a -algebra We prove that a sequence is a standard frame for if and only if the sum converges in norm for every and if there are constants such that for every We also prove that surjective adjointable operators preserve standard frames. A class of frames for countably generated Hilbert -modules over the -algebra of all compact operators on some Hilbert space is discussed.

     

On chaotic -semigroups and infinitely regular hypercyclic vectors

A -semigroup on a Banach space is called hypercyclic if there exists an element such that is dense in . is called chaotic if is hypercyclic and the set of its periodic vectors is dense in as well. We show that a spectral condition introduced by Desch, Schappacher and Webb requiring many eigenvectors of the generator which depend analytically on the eigenvalues not only implies the chaoticity of the semigroup but the chaoticity of every . Furthermore, we show that semigroups whose generators have compact resolvent are never chaotic. In a second part we prove the existence of hypercyclic vectors in for a hypercyclic semigroup , where is its generator.

     

Upper bounds for the volume and diameter of -dimensional sections of convex bodies

In this paper some upper bounds for the volume and diameter of central sections of symmetric convex bodies are obtained in terms of the isotropy constant of the polar body. The main consequence is that every symmetric convex body in of volume one has a proportional section , dim ( ), of diameter bounded by

whenever the polar body is in isotropic position ( is some absolute constant).

     

Vector measure Banach spaces containing a complemented copy of

Let a Banach space and a -algebra of subsets of a set . We say that a vector measure Banach space has the bounded Vitaly-Hahn-Sacks Property if it satisfies the following condition: Every vector measure , for which there exists a bounded sequence in verifying for all , must belong to . Among other results, we prove that, if is a vector measure Banach space with the bounded V-H-S Property and containing a complemented copy of , then contains a copy of .

     

Realizability of the Adams-Novikov spectral sequence for formal -modules

We show that the formal -module Adams-Novikov spectral sequence of Ravenel does not naturally arise from a filtration on a map of spectra by examining the case . We also prove that when is the ring of integers in a nontrivial extension of , the map of Hopf algebroids, classifying formal groups and formal -modules respectively, does not arise from compatible maps of -ring spectra .

This completes our earlier results, showing that if is a minimal surface of general type with , such that is free, then the bicanonical map of can have degree 1, 2 or 4.
