On the transposition anti-involution in real Clifford algebras I: the transposition map

A particular orthogonal map on a finite-dimensional real quadratic vector space (V,?Q) with a non-degenerate quadratic form Q of any signature (p,?q) is considered. It can be viewed as a correlation of the vector space that leads to a dual Clifford algebra C?(V*,?Q) of linear functionals (multiforms) acting on the universal Clifford algebra C?(V,?Q). The map results in a unique involutive automorphism and a unique involutive anti-automorphism of C?(V,?Q). The anti-involution reduces to reversion (resp. conjugation) for any Euclidean (resp. anti-Euclidean) signature. When applied to a general element of the algebra, it results in transposition of the element matrix in the left regular representation of C?(V,?Q). We also give an example for real spinor spaces. The general setting for spinor representations will be treated in part II of this work [R. Ab?amowicz and B. Fauser, On the transposition anti-involution in real Clifford algebras II: Stabilizer groups of primitive idempotents, Linear Multilinear Algebra, to appear].     

On column and null spaces of functions of a pair of oblique projectors

A number of characterizations involving column and null spaces of various functions of a pair of oblique projectors are established. Particular attention is paid to properties of a product of the two projectors, but other functions of the pair (such as sum, difference or sum and difference of products) are considered as well. In many cases, the results obtained generalize those already known to be valid for orthogonal projectors.

Column space equalities for orthogonal projectors

In their paper [Y. Tian, G.P.H. Styan, Rank equalities for idempotent and involutory matrices. Linear Algebra Appl. 335 (2001) 101-117], Tian and Styan established several rank equalities involving a pair of idempotent matrices P and Q. Subsequently, these results are reinvestigated from the point of view of the following question: provided that idempotent P, Q are Hermitian, which relationships given in the aforementioned paper remain valid when ranks are replaced with column spaces? Simultaneously, some related results are established, which shed additional light on the links between subspaces attributed to various functions of a pair of orthogonal projectors.

Lattice of subalgebras of the ring of continuous functions and Hewitt spaces

The latticeA(X) of all possible subalgebras of the ring of all continuous ℝ-valued functions defined on an ℝ-separated spaceX is considered. A topological space is said to be a Hewitt space if it is homeomorphic to a closed subspace of a Tychonoff power of the real line ℝ. The main achievement of the paper is the proof of the fact that any Hewitt spaceX is determined by the latticeA(X). An original technique of minimal and maximal subalgebras is applied. It is shown that the latticeA(X) is regular if and only ifX contains at most two points. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 62, No. 5, pp. 687–693, November, 1997. Translated by A. I. Shtern
