The Existence of Maximal w^＊-closed Submodules in Nest Algebra Modules

Using the technique of annihilators, we characterize the w^＊-closure of the finite-partition submodule R（N, ～） of a weakly closed nest algebra module U completely; and by virtue of this characterization, we obtain a sufficient and necessary condition for U to have a maximal w^＊-closed submodule.     

Homomorphisms between JC＊-algebras and Lie C＊-algebras

It is shown that every almost ＊-homomorphism h ： A→B of a unital JC＊-algebra A to a unital JC＊-algebra B is a ＊-homomorphism when h（rx） = rh（x） （r 〉 1） for all x∈A, and that every almost linear mapping h ： A→B is a ＊-homomorphism when h（2^nu o y） - h（2^nu） o h（y）, h（3^nu o y） - h（3^nu） o h（y） or h（q^nu o y） = h（q^nu） o h（y） for all unitaries u ∈A, all y ∈A, and n = 0, 1,.... Here the numbers 2, 3, q depend on the functional equations given in the almost linear mappings. We prove that every almost ＊-homomorphism h ： A→B of a unital Lie C＊-algebra A to a unital Lie C＊-algebra B is a ＊-homomorphism when h（rx） = rh（x） （r 〉 1） for all x ∈A.     

Jackson＇s Theorem on Bounded Symmetric Domains

Polynomial approximation is studied on bounded symmetric domain Ω in C^n for holomorphic function spaces X such as Bloch-type spaces, Bergman-type spaces, Hardy spaces, Ω algebra and Lipschitz space. We extend the classical Jackson＇s theorem to several complex variables：Eκ（f,X）≤ω（1/k,f,X）, where Eκ（f,X） is the deviation of the best approximation of f ∈X by polynomials of degree at most k with respect to the X-metric and ω（1/k,f,X） is the corresponding modulus of continuity.     

Weak Tensor Category and Related Generalized Hopf Algebras

There are at least two kinds of generalization of Hopf algebra, i.e. pre-Hopf algebra and weak Hopf algebra. Correspondingly, we have two kinds of generalized bialgebras, almost bialgebra and weak bialgebra. Let L = （L, ×, I, a, l, r） be a tensor category. By giving up I, l, r and keeping ×, a in L, the first author got so-called pre-tensor category L = （L, ×, a） and used it to characterize almost bialgebra and pre-Hopf algebra in Comm. in Algebra, 32（2）： 397-441 （2004）. Our aim in this paper is to generalize tensor category L = （L, ×, I, a, l, r） by weakening the natural isomorphisms l, r, i.e. exchanging the natural isomorphism ll^-1 = rr^-1 = id into regular natural transformations lll= l, rrr = r with some other conditions and get so-called weak tensor category so as to characterize weak bialgebra and weak Hopf algebra. The relations between these generalized （bialgebras） Hopf algebras and two kinds generalized tensor categories will be described by using of diagrams. Moreover, some related concepts and properties about weak tensor category will be discussed.     

On Generic Well-posedness of Restricted Chebyshev Center Problems in Banach Spaces

Let B （resp. K, BC,KC） denote the set of all nonempty bounded （resp. compact, bounded convex, compact convex） closed subsets of the Banach space X, endowed with the Hausdorff metric, and let G be a nonempty relatively weakly compact closed subset of X. Let B° stand for the set of all F ∈B such that the problem （F, G） is well-posed. We proved that, if X is strictly convex and Kadec, the set KC ∩ B° is a dense Gδ-subset of KC ／ G. Furthermore, if X is a uniformly convex Banach space, we will prove more, namely that the set B ／B° （resp. K ／ B°, BC ／B°, KC ／ B°） is a-porous in B （resp. K,BC, KC）. Moreover, we prove that for most （in the sense of the Baire category） closed bounded subsets G of X, the set K ／ B° is dense and uncountable in K.     

Lifting Unitary Elements with Application to Approximately Inner Automorphisms

Let A be a separable unital nuclear simple C＊-algebra with torsion K0 （A）, free K1 （A） and with the UCT. Let T ： A→M（K）/K be a unital homomorphism. We prove that every unitary element in the commutant of T（A） is an exponent, thus it is liftable. We also prove that each automorphism α on E with α ∈ Aut0（A） is approximately inner, where E is a unital essential extension of A by K and α is the automorphism on A induced by α.     

Universal Similarity Factorization Equalities over Generalized Clifford Algebras

For any element a in a generalized 2^n-dimensional Clifford algebra Lln （F） over an arbitrary field F of characteristic not equal to two, it is shown that there exits a universal invertible matrix Pn over Lln（F） such that Pn^-1DnPn= φ（α）∈F^2n×2n, where φ（a） is a matrix representation of α over and Dα is a diagonal matrix consisting of a or its conjugate.     

On Maximal Abelian Self-adjoint Subalgebras of Factors of Type Ⅱ1

In this note, we show that if N is a proper subfactor of a factor M of type Ⅱ1 with finite Jones index, then there is a maximal abelian self-adjoint subalgebra （masa） A of N that is not a masa in ,M. Popa showed that there is a proper subfactor R0 of the hyperfinite type Ⅱ1 factor R such that each masa in R0 is also a masa in R. We shall give a detailed proof of Popa＇s result.     

Weak Hopf Algebras Corresponding to Borcherds-Cartan Matrices

Let y be a generalized Kac-Moody algebra with an integral Borcherds-Cartan matrix. In this paper, we define a d-type weak quantum generalized Kac-Moody algebra wUq^d（y）, which is a weak Hopf algebra. We also study the highest weight module over the weak quantum algebra wUdq^d（y） and weak A-forms of wUq^d（y）.

The Density of Linear Symplectic Cocycles with Simple Lyapunov Spectrum in YIC（X, SL（2, R））

Let （X, G（X）, m） be a probability space with a-algebra G（X） and probability measure m. The set V in G is called P-admissible, provided that for any positive integer n and positive-measure set Vn∈ contained in V, there exists a Zn∈G such that Zn belong to Vn and 0 〈 m（Zn） 〈 1/n. Let T be an ergodic automorphism of （X, G） preserving m, and A belong to the space of linear measurable symplectic cocycles     

On the Order of Magnitude of the Divisor Function

Let D be an increasing sequence of positive integers, and consider the divisor functions： d（n, D） =∑d｜n,d∈D,d≤√n1, d2（n,D）=∑[d,δ]｜n,d,δ∈D,[d,δ]≤√n1, where [d,δ]=1.c.m.（d,δ）. A probabilistic argument is introduced to evaluate the series ∑n=1^∞and（n,D） and ∑n=1^∞and2（n,D）.     

Approximately Linear Mappings in Banach Modules over a C^＊-algebra

Let X and Y be vector spaces. The authors show that a mapping f ： X →Y satisfies the functional equation 2d f（∑^2d j=1（-1）^j＋1xj/2d）=∑^2dj=1（-1）^j＋1f（xj） with f（0） = 0 if and only if the mapping f ： X→ Y is Cauchy additive, and prove the stability of the functional equation （≠） in Banach modules over a unital C^＊-algebra, and in Poisson Banach modules over a unital Poisson C＊-algebra. Let A and B be unital C^＊-algebras, Poisson C^＊-algebras or Poisson JC^＊- algebras. As an application, the authors show that every almost homomorphism h ： A →B of A into is a homomorphism when h（（2d-1）^nuy） =- h（（2d-1）^nu）h（y） or h（（2d-1）^nuoy） = h（（2d-1）^nu）oh（y） for all unitaries u ∈A, all y ∈ A, n = 0, 1, 2,.... Moreover, the authors prove the stability of homomorphisms in C^＊-algebras, Poisson C^＊-algebras or Poisson JC^＊-algebras.     

An Extended Ockham Algebra with Endomorphism Kernel Property

An algebraic structure A is said to have the endomorphism kernel property if every congruence on A, other than the universal congruence, is the kernel of an endomorphism on A. In this paper, we consider the EKP （that is, endomorphism kernel property） for an extended Ockham algebra A. In particular, we describe the structure of the finite symmetric extended de Morgan algebras having EKP.     

Asymptotic Expansions of the Heat Kernel of the Laplacian for General Annular Bounded Domains with Robin Boundary Conditions：Further Results

The asymptotic expansions of the trace of the heat kernel θ(t)=∑^∞v=1^exp(-tλv) for small positive t,where {λv} are the eigenvalues of the negative Laplacian -△n=-∑^ni=1(D/Dx^1)^2 in R^2(n=2 or 3),are studied for a general annular bounded domain Ω with a smooth inner boundary DΩ1 and a smooth outer boundary DΩ2,where a finite number of piecewise smooth Robin boundary conditions(D/Dnj γh)Ф=0 on the components Гj(j= 1,...,m) of (DΩ1 and on the components Гj (j=k 1,…,m) of of DΩ2 are considered such that DΩl=U^kj=lГj and DΩ2= U^m=k 1Гj and where the coefficients γj(j=1,...,m) are piecewise smooth positive functions. Some applications of θ(t) for an ideal gas enclosed in the general annular bounded domain Ω are given. Further results are also obtained.     

Self-adjoint Analytic Operator Functions: Local Spectral Function and Inner Linearization

In this note we continue the study of spectral properties of a self-adjoint analytic operator function A(z) that was started in [5]. It is shown that if A(z) satisfies the Virozub–Matsaev condition on some interval Δ₀ and is boundedly invertible in the endpoints of Δ₀, then the ‘embedding’ of the original Hilbert space into the Hilbert space , where the linearization of A(z) acts, is in fact an isomorphism between a subspace of and . As a consequence, properties of the local spectral function of A(z) on Δ₀ and a so-called inner linearization of the operator function A(z) in the subspace are established.      

The Galois Correspondence in Field Algebra of G-spin Model

Suppose that G is a finite group and D（G） the double algebra of G. For a given subgroup H of G, there is a sub-Hopf algebra D（G; H） of D（G）. This paper gives the concrete construction of a D（G; H）-invariant subspace AH in field algebra of G-spin model and proves that if H is a normal subgroup of G, then AH is Galois closed.
