Let be an infinite set, a set of pseudo-metrics on and If is limited (finite) for every and every then, for each we can define a pseudo-metric on by writing st We investigate the conditions under which the topology induced on by has a basis consisting only of standard sets. This investigation produces a theory with a variety of applications in functional analysis. For example, a specialization of some of our general results will yield such classical compactness theorems as Schauder's theorem, Mazur's theorem, and Gelfand-Philips's theorem.
Given an affine projection of a -polytope onto a polygon , it is proved that the poset of proper polytopal subdivisions of which are induced by has the homotopy type of a sphere of dimension if maps all vertices of into the boundary of . This result, originally conjectured by Reiner, is an analogue of a result of Billera, Kapranov and Sturmfels on cellular strings on polytopes and explains the significance of the interior point of present in the counterexample to their generalized Baues conjecture, constructed by Rambau and Ziegler.
For every normed space , we note its closed unit ball and unit sphere by and , respectively. Let and be normed spaces such that is Lipschitz homeomorphic to , and is Lipschitz homeomorphic to .
We prove that the following are equivalent:
1. is Lipschitz homeomorphic to .
2. is Lipschitz homeomorphic to .
3. is Lipschitz homeomorphic to .
This result holds also in the uniform category, except (2 or 3) 1 which is known to be false.
under the hypothesis that is an ample vector bundle on .
It is shown that the almost Mathieu operators of the type where is real and is a rational multiple of and an orthonormal basis for a Hilbert space, is not invertible.
It is shown that if is a positive integer or , then the unilateral shift on has an invariant subspace such that its restriction to it has multiplicity .
Let be a locally compact Hausdorff space. We define a quasi-measure in , a quasi-integral on , and a quasi-integral on . We show that all quasi-integrals on are bounded, continuity properties of the quasi-integral on , representation of quasi-integrals on in terms of quasi-measures, and unique extension of quasi-integrals on to .
We consider a class of compact spaces for which the space of probability Radon measures on has countable tightness in the topology. We show that that class contains those compact zero-dimensional spaces for which is weakly Lindelöf, and, under MA + CH, all compact spaces with having property (C) of Corson.
Let be a separable inner product space over the field of real numbers. Let (resp., denote the orthomodular poset of all splitting subspaces (resp., complete-cocomplete subspaces) of . We ask whether (resp., can be a lattice without being complete (i.e. without being Hilbert). This question is relevant to the recent study of the algebraic properties of splitting subspaces and to the search for ``nonstandard' orthomodular spaces as motivated by quantum theories. We first exhibit such a space that is not a lattice and is a (modular) lattice. We then go on showing that the orthomodular poset may not be a lattice even if . Finally, we construct a noncomplete space such that with being a (modular) lattice. (Thus, the lattice properties of (resp. do not seem to have an explicit relation to the completeness of though the Ammemia-Araki theorem may suggest the opposite.) As a by-product of our construction we find that there is a noncomplete such that all states on are restrictions of the states on for being the completion of (this provides a solution to a recently formulated problem).
Let be the disk algebra. In this paper we address the following question: Under what conditions on the points do there exist operators such that
and , , for every ? Here the convergence is understood in the sense of norm in . Our first result shows that if satisfy Carleson condition, then there exists a function such that , . This is a non-trivial generalization of results of Somorjai (1980) and Partington (1997). It also provides a partial converse to a result of Totik (1984). The second result of this paper shows that if are required to be projections, then for any choice of the operators do not converge to the identity operator. This theorem generalizes the famous theorem of Faber and implies that the disk algebra does not have an interpolating basis.
A Lie subalgebra of is said to be finitary if it consists of elements of finite rank. We show that, if acts irreducibly on , and if is infinite-dimensional, then every non-trivial ascendant Lie subalgebra of acts irreducibly on too. When , it follows that the locally solvable radical of such is trivial. In general, locally solvable finitary Lie algebras over fields of characteristic are hyperabelian.
Let be a self-similar probability measure on satisfying where 0$"> and Let be the Fourier transform of A necessary and sufficient condition for to approach zero at infinity is given. In particular, if and for then 0$"> if and only if is a PV-number and is not a factor of . This generalizes the corresponding theorem of Erdös and Salem for the case
We prove that each positive operator from a Banach lattice to a Banach lattice with a disjointly strictly singular majorant is itself disjointly strictly singular provided the norm on is order continuous. We prove as well that if is dominated by a disjointly strictly singular operator, then is disjointly strictly singular.
We prove that a Banach space has the compact range property (CRP) if and only if, for any given -algebra , every absolutely summing operator from into is compact. Related results for -summing operators () are also discussed as well as operators on non-commutative -spaces and -summing operators.
