The monotone convergence theorem for multidimensional abstract Kurzweil vector integrals

We prove two versions of the Monotone Convergence Theorem for the vector integral of Kurzweil, , where R is a compact interval of , and f are functions with values on L(Z,W) and Z respectively, and Z and W are monotone ordered normed spaces. Analogous results can be obtained for the Kurzweil vector integral, , as well as to unbounded intervals R.     

Fixed-Point Iterations for Asymptotically Nonexpansive Mappings in Banach Spaces

In this paper, we suggest and analyze a three-step iterative scheme for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces. The new iterative scheme includes Ishikawa-type and Mann-type interations as special cases. The results obtained in this paper represent an extension as well as refinement of previous known results.     

Loop Groups and Twin Buildings

In these notes we describe some buildings related to complex Kac–Moody groups. First we describe the spherical building of SL_n() (i.e. the projective geometry PG(ⁿ)) and its Veronese representation. Next we recall the construction of the affine building associated to a discrete valuation on the rational function field (z). Then we describe the same building in terms of complex Laurent polynomials, and introduce the Veronese representation, which is an equivariant embedding of the building into an affine Kac–Moody algebra. Next, we introduce topological twin buildings. These buildings can be used for a proof which is a variant of the proof by Quillen and Mitchell, of Bott periodicity which uses only topological geometry. At the end we indicate very briefly that the whole process works also for affine real almost split Kac–Moody groups.Supported by a Heisenberg fellowship by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.     

A Homeomorphism Invariant for Substitution Tiling Spaces

We derive a homeomorphism invariant for those tiling spaces which are made by rather general substitution rules on polygonal tiles, including those tilings, like the pinwheel, which contain tiles in infinitely many orientations. The invariant is a quotient of ech cohomology, is easily computed directly from the substitution rule, and distinguishes many examples, including most pinwheel-like tiling spaces. We also introduce a module structure on cohomology which is very convenient as well as of intuitive value.
