Enveloping Σ-C *-algebra of a smooth Frechet algebra crossed product by ℝ,K-theory and differential structure inC *-algebras

Given anm-tempered strongly continuous action α of ℝ by continuous^*-automorphisms of a Frechet^*-algebraA, it is shown that the enveloping ↡-C ^*-algebraE(S(ℝ, A^∞, α)) of the smooth Schwartz crossed productS(ℝ,A ^∞, α) of the Frechet algebra A^∞ of C^∞-elements ofA is isomorphic to the Σ-C ^*-crossed productC ^*(ℝ,E(A), α) of the enveloping Σ-C ^*-algebraE(A) ofA by the induced action. WhenA is a hermitianQ-algebra, one getsK-theory isomorphismRK _*(S(ℝ, A^∞, α)) =K ^*(C ^*(ℝ,E(A), α) for the representableK-theory of Frechet algebras. An application to the differential structure of aC ^*-algebra defined by densely defined differential seminorms is given.     

Topological *-algebras withC*-enveloping algebras II

UniversalC*-algebrasC*(A) exist for certain topological *-algebras called algebras with aC*-enveloping algebra. A Frechet *-algebraA has aC*-enveloping algebra if and only if every operator representation ofA mapsA into bounded operators. This is proved by showing that every unbounded operator representation π, continuous in the uniform topology, of a topological *-algebraA, which is an inverse limit of Banach *-algebras, is a direct sum of bounded operator representations, thereby factoring through the enveloping pro-C*-algebraE(A) ofA. Given aC*-dynamical system (G,A,α), any topological *-algebraB containingC _c (G,A) as a dense *-subalgebra and contained in the crossed productC*-algebraC*(G,A,α) satisfiesE(B) =C*(G,A,α). IfG = ℝ, ifB is an α-invariant dense Frechet *-subalgebra ofA such thatE(B) =A, and if the action α onB ism-tempered, smooth and by continuous *-automorphisms: then the smooth Schwartz crossed productS(ℝ,B,α) satisfiesE(S(ℝ,B,α)) =C*(ℝ,A,α). WhenG is a Lie group, theC ^∞-elementsC ^∞(A), the analytic elementsC ^ω(A) as well as the entire analytic elementsC ^є(A) carry natural topologies making them algebras with aC*-enveloping algebra. Given a non-unitalC*-algebraA, an inductive system of idealsI _α is constructed satisfyingA =C*-ind limI _α; and the locally convex inductive limit ind limI _α is anm-convex algebra with theC*-enveloping algebraA and containing the Pedersen idealK _a ofA. Given generatorsG with weakly Banach admissible relationsR, we construct universal topological *-algebraA(G, R) and show that it has aC*-enveloping algebra if and only if (G, R) isC*-admissible.     

On modules with <Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>-Koszul-type submodules

The so-called weakly d-Koszul-type module is introduced and it turns out that each weakly d-Koszul-type module contains a d-Koszul-type submodule. It is proved that, M ∈ W H J^d（A） if and only if M admits a filtration of submodules： 0 belong to U0 belong to U1 belong to ... belong to Up = M such that all Ui/Ui-1 are d-Koszul-type modules, from which we obtain that the finitistic dimension conjecture holds in W H J^d（A） in a special case. Let M ∈ W H J^d（A）. It is proved that the Koszul dual E（M） is Noetherian, Hopfian, of finite dimension in special cases, and E（M） ∈ gr0（E（A））. In particular, we show that M ∈ W H J^d（A） if and only if E（G（M）） ∈ gr0（E（A））, where G is the associated graded functor.     

The Atiyah-Segal completion theorem for C*-algebras

We generalize the Atiyah-Segal completion theorem to C ^*-algebras as follows. Let A be a C ^*-algebra with a continuous action of the compact Lie group G. If K _* ^G (A) is finitely generated as an R(G)-module, or under other suitable restrictions, then the I(G)-adic completion K _* ^G (A) is isomorphic to RK _*([A C(EG)]^G), where RK _* is representable K-theory for - C ^*-algebras and EG is a classifying space for G. As a corollary, we show that if and are homotopic actions of G, and if K _*(C ^* (G,A,)) and K _*(C ^* (G,A,)) are finitely generated, then K _*(C ^*(G,A,))K_*(C ^* (G,A,)). We give examples to show that this isomorphism fails without the completions. However, we prove that this isomorphism does hold without the completions if the homotopy is required to be norm continuous.This work was partially supported by an NSF Graduate Fellowship and by an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship.     

Maximal sets in α-recursion theory

Let α be an admissible ordinal, and leta ^* be the Σ₁-projectum ofa. Call an α-r.e. setM maximal if α→M is unbounded and for every α→r.e. setA, eitherA∩(α-M) or (α-A)∩(α-M) is bounded. Call and α-r.e. setM amaximal subset of α^* if α^*−M is undounded and for any α-r.e. setA, eitherA∩(α^*-M) or (⇌^*-A)∩(α^*-M) is unbounded in α^*. Sufficient conditions are given both for the existence of maximal sets, and for the existence of maximal subset of α^*. Necessary conditions for the existence of maximal sets are also given. In particular, if α ≧ ℵ ^L then it is shown that maximal sets do not exist. Research partially supported by NSF Grant GP-34088 X.

Two point problems and analyticity of solutions of abstract parabolic equations

Fort ∈ [a, b], letA(t) be the unbounded operator inH ^0,p (G) associated with an elliptic-boundary value problem that satisfies Agmon’s conditions on the rays λ=±iτ, τ ≥0. Existence and uniqueness results are obtained for weak and strict solutions of two-point problems of the type (du/dt)−A(t) u(t) =f(t),E ₁(α)u (α)=u _α,E ₂ (β)u (β)=u _β. Here [α, β) χ- [a, b],E ₁ (α) andE ₂ (β) are spectral projections associated withA(α) andA(β) respectively, andA(α)E ₁ (α) and =A (β)E ₂ (β) are infinitesimal generators of analytic semigroups. WhenA(t) andf(t) are analytic in a convex, complex neighborhoodO of [a, b] we show that for someθ _i ,i=1,2, any solution ofdu/dt =A(t)u (t)=f(t) in [a, b] is analytic and satisfies the above equation in the setO∩{t; t ≠ a, t ≠ b, | arg (t −a) | <θ ₁, | arg (b −t) |θ ₂}.

(<Emphasis Type="Italic">p, λ</Emphasis>)-Koszul algebras and modules

In this paper, the notions of (p, λ)-Koszul algebra and (p, λ)-Koszul module are introduced. Some criteria theorems for a positively graded algebra A to be (p, λ)-Koszul are given. The notion of weakly (p, λ)-Koszul module is defined as well and let WK _λ ^p (A) denote the category of weakly (p, λ)-Koszul modules. We show that M ∈ WK _λ ^p (A) if and only if it can be approximated by (p, λ)-Koszul submodules, which is equivalent to that G(M) is a (p, λ)-Koszul module, where G(M) denotes the associated graded module of M. As applications, the relationships of the minimal graded projective resolutions of M, G(M) and (p, λ)-Koszul submodules are established. In particular, for a module M ∈ WK _λ ^p (A) we prove that ⊕ _i≥0 Ext _A ⁱ (M,A ₀) ∈ gr ₀(E(A)), we also get as a consequence that the finitistic dimension conjecture is valid in WK _λ ^p (A) under certain conditions.     

Complete positivity,tensor products and C*-nuclearity for inverse limits of C*-algebras

The paper aims at developing a theory of nuclear (in the topological algebraic sense) pro-C^*-algebras (which are inverse limits of C^*-algebras) by investigating completely positive maps and tensor products. By using the structure of matrix algebras over a pro-C^*-algebra, it is shown that a unital continuous linear map between pro-C^*-algebrasA andB is completely positive iff by restriction, it defines a completely positive map between the C^*-algebrasb(A) andb(B) consisting of all bounded elements ofA andB. In the metrizable case,A andB are homeomorphically isomorphic iff they are matricially order isomorphic. The injective pro-C^*-topology α and the projective pro-C^*-topology v on A⊗B are shown to be minimal and maximal pro-C^*-topologies; and α coincides with the topology of biequicontinous convergence iff eitherA orB is abelian. A nuclear pro-C^*-algebraA is one that satisfies, for any pro-C^*-algebra (or a C^*-algebra)B, any of the equivalent requirements; (i) α =v onA ⊗B (ii)A is inverse limit of nuclear C^*-algebras (iii) there is only one admissible pro-C^*-topologyon A⊗B (iv) the bounded partb(A) ofA is a nuclear C⊗-algebra (v) any continuous complete state map A→B^* can be approximated in simple weak^* convergence by certain finite rank complete state maps. This is used to investigate permanence properties of nuclear pro-C^*-algebras pertaining to subalgebras, quotients and projective and inductive limits. A nuclearity criterion for multiplier algebras (in particular, the multiplier algebra of Pedersen ideal of a C^*-algebra) is developed and the connection of this C^*-algebraic nuclearity with Grothendieck’s linear topological nuclearity is examined. A σ-C^*-algebraA is a nuclear space iff it is an inverse limit of finite dimensional C^*-algebras; and if abelian, thenA is isomorphic to the algebra (pointwise operations) of all scalar sequences.     

Torsion in Boundary Coinvariants and K -Theory for Affine Buildings

Let (G, I, N, S) be an affine topological Tits system, and let Γ be a torsion-free cocompact lattice in G. This article studies the coinvariants H ₀(Γ; C(Ω,Z)), where Ω is the Furstenberg boundary of G. It is shown that the class [1] of the identity function in H ₀(Γ; C(Ω, Z)) has finite order, with explicit bounds for the order. A similar statement applies to the K ₀ group of the boundary crossed product C ^*-algebra C(Ω)Γ. If the Tits system has type ? ₂, exact computations are given, both for the crossed product algebra and for the reduced group C ^*-algebra.     

Cycles in Partially Square Graphs

. In this work we consider finite undirected simple graphs. If G=(V,E) is a graph we denote by α(G) the stability number of G. For any vertex x let N[x] be the union of x and the neighborhood N(x). For each pair of vertices ab of G we associate the set J(a,b) as follows. J(a,b)={u∈N[a]∩N[b]∣N(u)⊆N[a]∪N[b]}. Given a graph G, its partially squareG ^* is the graph obtained by adding an edge uv for each pair u,v of vertices of G at distance 2 whenever J(u,v) is not empty. In the case G is a claw-free graph, G ^* is equal to G ². If G is k-connected, we cover the vertices of G by at most ⌈α(G ^*)/k⌉ cycles, where α(G ^*) is the stability number of the partially square graph of G. On the other hand we consider in G ^* conditions on the sum of the degrees. Let G be any 2-connected graph and t be any integer (t≥2). If ∑ _{x ∈ S} deg _G (x)≥|G|, for every t-stable set S⊆V(G) of G ^* then the vertex set of G can be covered with t−1 cycles. Different corollaries on covering by paths are given.

Stability of semilinear ill-posed problems with a prescribed energy bound

In the present paper we discuss the stability of semilinear problems of the form A^αu + G^α(u) = ? under assumption of an a priori bound for an energy functional E^α(u) ? E, where α is a parameter in a metric space M. Following [11] the problem A^αu + G^α(u) = ?, E^α(u) ? E is called stable in a Hilbert space H at a point α ? M if for any ??H, E, ? > 0 there exists δ > 0 such that for any functions u^α1, u^α2 satisfying A^αju^αj + G^αj(u^αj) = ?^αj, E^αj(u^αj) ? E, j = 1,2 we have ‖u^α1 ? u^α2_H ? ? provided ρ_M(α_j, α) ? δ, ‖?^αj ? ?‖_H ? δ, j = 1,2. In the present paper we obtain stability conditions for the problem A^αu + G^α(u) = ?, E^α(u) ? E.     

Crossed products on the flow of groupoid with quasi-invariant measures

LetG be a second countable groupoid with Haar system {λ ^u },A be an abelian group which left invariant acts onG. Then we have aC ^*-dynamic system (C ^* (G, A, β). In this paper we have studied the existence of quasi-invariant measure with certain properties; using these measures some important results about crossed products and groupoidC ^*-algebras have been obtained.

Fourier Analysis of Semistable Distributions

We consider the generalized convolution powers G _α ^*u (x) of an arbitrary semistable distribution function G _α (x) of exponent α∈(0,2), and prove that for all j, k∈{0,1,2,…} and u>0 the derivatives G _α ^(k,j)(x;u)=∂ ^k+j G _α ^*u (x)/∂ x ^k ∂ u ^j , x∈ℝ, are of bounded variation on the whole real line ℝ. The proof, along with an integral recursion in j, is new even in the special case of stable laws, and the result provides a framework for possible asymptotic expansions in merge theorems from the domain of geometric partial attraction of semistable laws.

On Representations Associated with Completely n-Positive Linear Maps on Pro-C^＊-Algebras

It is shown that an n × n matrix of continuous linear maps from a pro-C^＊-algebra A to L（H）, which verifies the condition of complete positivity, is of the form [V^＊TijФ（·）V]^n i,where Ф is a representation of A on a Hilbert space K, V is a bounded linear operator from H to K, and j=1,[Tij]^n i,j=1 is a positive element in the C^＊-algebra of all n×n matrices over the commutant of Ф（A） in L（K）. This generalizes a result of C. Y.Suen in Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 112（3）, 1991, 709-712. Also, a covariant version of this construction is given.     

Resolvent Estimates for Operators Belonging to Exponential Classes

For a, α > 0 let E(a, α) be the set of all compact operators A on a separable Hilbert space such that s _n (A) = O(exp(-an^α)), where s _n (A) denotes the n-th singular number of A. We provide upper bounds for the norm of the resolvent (zI − A)⁻¹ of A in terms of a quantity describing the departure from normality of A and the distance of z to the spectrum of A. As a consequence we obtain upper bounds for the Hausdorff distance of the spectra of two operators in E(a, α).      

Embedding an AH-Algebra into a Simple C*-Algebra with Prescribed KK-Data

Let X be a connected finite CW complex. We show that, given a positive homomorphism Hom(K _*(C(X)), K _*(A)) with [1 _C(X)][1 _A ], where A is a unital separable simple C ^*-algebra with real rank zero, stable rank one and weakly unperforated K ₀(A), there exists a homomorphism h: C(X)A such that h induces . We also prove a structure result for unital separable simple C ^*-algebras A with real rank zero, stable rank one and weakly unperforated K ₀(A), namely, there exists a simple AH-algebra of real rank zero contained in A which determines the K-theory of A.     

The isometric extension of the into mapping from the unit sphere S 1( E ) to S 1( l ∞(Γ))

This paper considers the isometric extension problem concerning the mapping from the unit sphere S ₁(E) of the normed space E into the unit sphere S ₁(l ^∞(Γ)). We find a condition under which an isometry from S ₁(E) into S ₁(l ^∞(Γ)) can be linearly and isometrically extended to the whole space. Since l ^∞(Γ) is universal with respect to isometry for normed spaces, isometric extension problems on a class of normed spaces are solved. More precisely, if E and F are two normed spaces, and if V ₀: S ₁(E) → S ₁(F) is a surjective isometry, where c ₀₀(Γ) ⊆ F ⊆ l ^∞(Γ), then V ₀ can be extended to be an isometric operator defined on the whole space.
