Hypergroups and invariant complemented subspaces

Let K   be a hypergroup with a Haar measure. The purpose of the present paper is to initiate a systematic approach to the study of the class of invariant complemented subspaces of _L∞(K)$L_{\infty }(K)$ and _C0(K)$C_0(K)$, the class of left translation invariant w^?$w^{?}$-subalgebras of _L∞(K)$L_{\infty }(K)$ and finally the class of non-zero left translation invariant C^?$C^{?}$-subalgebras of _C0(K)$C_0(K)$ in the hypergroup context with the goal of finding some relations between these function spaces. Among other results, we construct two correspondences: one, between closed Weil subhypergroups and certain left translation invariant w^?$w^{?}$-subalgebras of _L∞(K)$L_{\infty }(K)$, and another, between compact subhypergroups and a specific subclass of the class of left translation invariant C^?$C^{?}$-subalgebras of _C0(K)$C_0(K)$. By the help of these two characterizations, we extract some results about invariant complemented subspaces of _L∞(K)$L_{\infty }(K)$ and _C0(K)$C_0(K)$.     

Poincaré type inequalities for group measure spaces and related transportation cost inequalities

Let G be a countable discrete group with an orthogonal representation α on a real Hilbert space H  . We prove _Lp$L_p$ Poincaré inequalities for the group measure space _L∞(_ΩH,γ)?G$L_{\infty }({\Omega }_H,\gamma )?G$, where both the group action and the Gaussian measure space (_ΩH,γ)$({\Omega }_H,\gamma )$ are associated with the representation α  . The idea of proof comes from Pisier?s method on the boundedness of Riesz transform and Lust-Piquard?s work on spin systems. Then we deduce a transportation type inequality from the _Lp$L_p$ Poincaré inequalities in the general noncommutative setting. This inequality is sharp up to a constant (in the Gaussian setting). Several applications are given, including Wiener/Rademacher chaos estimation and new examples of Rieffel?s compact quantum metric spaces.     

MF actions and K-theoretic dynamics

We study the interplay of C^?$C^{?}$-dynamics and K  -theory. Notions of chain recurrence for transformations groups (X,Γ)$(X,\Gamma )$ and MF actions for non-commutative C^?$C^{?}$-dynamical systems (A,Γ,α)$(A,\Gamma ,\alpha )$ are translated into K-theoretical language, where purely algebraic conditions are shown to be necessary and sufficient for a reduced crossed product to admit norm microstates. We are particularly interested in actions of free groups on AF algebras, in which case we prove that a K-theoretic coboundary condition determines whether or not the reduced crossed product is a matricial field (MF) algebra. One upshot is the equivalence of stable finiteness and being MF for these reduced crossed product algebras.     

Orthogonally additive polynomials on Fourier algebras

We show that an n-homogeneous polynomial P   on the Fourier algebra A(G)$A(G)$ of a locally compact group G   can be represented in the form P(f)=〈T,fⁿ〉$P(f)=〈T,f^n〉$(f∈A(G))$(f\in A(G))$ for some T   in the group von Neumann algebra VN(G)$\mathit{VN}(G)$ of G if and only if it is orthogonally additive and completely bounded.     

Derivations and local derivations on Freudenthal almost f-algebras

Let A be an Archimedean f  -algebra and let N(A)$N(A)$ be the set of all nilpotent elements of A. Colville et al. [4] proved that a positive linear map d:A→A$d:A\to A$ is a derivation if and only if d(A)⊂N(A)$d(A)\subset N(A)$ and d(A²)={0}$d(A^2)=\{0\}$, where A²$A^2$ is the set of all products ab in A.     

The approximation characteristic of diagonal matrix in probabilistic setting

In this paper, the approximation characteristic of a diagonal matrix in probabilistic and average case settings is investigated. And the asymptotic degree of the probabilistic linear (n,δ)$(n,\delta )$-width and p$p$-average linear n$n$-width of diagonal matrix M$M$ are determined.     

Remarks on a posteriori error estimation for finite element solutions

We utilize the classical hypercircle method and the lowest-order Raviart–Thomas H(div)$H(\mathrm{div})$ element to obtain a posteriori error estimates of the _P1$P_1$ finite element solutions for 2D Poisson's equation. A few other estimation methods are also discussed for comparison. We give some theoretical and numerical results to see the effectiveness of the methods.
