Analytic Extension of Functions from Analytic Hilbert Spaces

Let M be an invariant subspace of Hv2. It is shown that for each f∈M⊥, f can be analytically extended across (?)Bd\σ(Sz1,…, Szd).     

Representation of Connected Monounary Algebras by Means of Irreducibles

The aim of the present paper is to describe all connected monounary algebras for which there exists a representation by means of connected monounary algebras which are retract irreducible in the class _c (or in ). This work was supported by the Slovak Grant VEGA 1/0423/03.     

Linear Discrepancy of the Product of Two Chains

The linear discrepancy of a partially ordered set P = (X, ≺) is the minimum integer l such that ∣f(a) − f(b)∣ ≤ l for any injective isotone and any pair of incomparable elements a, b in X. It measures the degree of difference of P from a chain. Despite of increasing demands to the applications, the discrepancies of just few simple partially ordered sets are known. In this paper, we obtain the linear discrepancy of the product of two chains. For this, we firstly give a lower bound of the linear discrepancy and then we construct injective isotones on the product of two chains, which show that the obtained lower bound is tight.     

On the nonnegativity of operator products

Summary A bounded, not necessarily everywhere defined, nonnegative operator A in a Hilbert space <InlineEquation ID=IE"1"><EquationSource Format="TEX"><![CDATA[<InlineEquation ID=IE"2"><EquationSource Format="TEX"><![CDATA[$]]></EquationSource></InlineEquation>]]></EquationSource></InlineEquation>\mathfrak{H}$ is assumed to intertwine in a certain sense two bounded everywhere defined operators B and C. If the range of A is provided with a natural inner product then the operators B and C induce two new operators on the completion space. This construction is used to show the existence of selfadjoint and nonnegative extensions of B*A and C*A.     

Covers of Point-Hyperplane Graphs

A cover of the non-incident point-hyperplane graph of projective dimension 3 for fields of characteristic 2 is constructed. For fields of even order larger than 2, this leads to an elementary construction of the non-split extension of SL₄( )by ⁶.     

Tietze extension theorem for Hilbert -modules

We prove the following generalization of the noncommutative Tietze extension theorem: if is a countably generated Hilbert -module over a -unital -algebra, then the canonical extension of a surjective morphism of Hilbert -modules to extended (multiplier) modules, , is also surjective.

     

More on convexity numbers of closed sets in

The convexity number of a set is the least size of a family of convex sets with . is countably convex if its convexity number is countable. Otherwise is uncountably convex.

Uncountably convex closed sets in have been studied recently by Geschke, Kubis, Kojman and Schipperus. Their line of research is continued in the present article. We show that for all , it is consistent that there is an uncountably convex closed set whose convexity number is strictly smaller than all convexity numbers of uncountably convex subsets of .

Moreover, we construct a closed set whose convexity number is and that has no uncountable -clique for any 1$">. Here is a -clique if the convex hull of no -element subset of is included in . Our example shows that the main result of the above-named authors, a closed set either has a perfect -clique or the convexity number of is in some forcing extension of the universe, cannot be extended to higher dimensions.

     

A compact group which is not Valdivia compact

A compact space is Valdivia compact if it can be embedded in a Tikhonov cube in such a way that the intersection is dense in , where is the sigma-product ( the set of points with countably many non-zero coordinates). We show that there exists a compact connected Abelian group of weight which is not Valdivia compact, and deduce that Valdivia compact spaces are not preserved by open maps.

     

Obstructions to the extension of partial maps

One of the most important problems in topology is the minimization (in some sense) of obstructions to extending a partial map , i.e., of a subsetF ⊂ Z/A such thatf can be globally extended to its complement. It is shown that ifZ is a fixed metric space with dimZ ≤ n andp, q ≥−1 are fixed numbers, then obstructions to extending all partial maps can be concentrated in preselected fairly thin subsets ofZ.
