Ergodic Subequivalence Relations Induced by a Bernoulli Action

Let Γ be a countable group and denote by S{\mathcal{S}} the equivalence relation induced by the Bernoulli action G\curvearrowright [0, 1]^G{\Gamma\curvearrowright [0, 1]^{\Gamma}}, where [0, 1]^Γ is endowed with the product Lebesgue measure. We prove that, for any subequivalence relation R{\mathcal{R}} of S{\mathcal{S}}, there exists a partition {X _i } _i≥0 of [0, 1]^Γ into R{\mathcal{R}}-invariant measurable sets such that R_|X0{\mathcal{R}_{\vert X_{0}}} is hyperfinite and R_|Xi{\mathcal{R}_{\vert X_{i}}} is strongly ergodic (hence ergodic and non-hyperfinite), for every i ≥ 1.     

Nilpotent algebras and affinely homogeneous surfaces

To every nilpotent commutative algebra N{\mathcal{N}} of finite dimension over an arbitrary base field of characteristic zero a smooth algebraic subvariety S ì N{S\subset\mathcal{N}} can be associated in a canonical way whose degree is the nil-index and whose codimension is the dimension of the annihilator A{\mathcal{A}} of N{\mathcal{N}}. In case N{\mathcal{N}} admits a grading, the surface S is affinely homogeneous. More can be said if A{\mathcal{A}} has dimension 1, that is, if N{\mathcal{N}} is the maximal ideal of a Gorenstein algebra. In this case two such algebras N{\mathcal{N}}, [(N)\tilde]{\tilde{\mathcal{N}}} are isomorphic if and only if the associated hypersurfaces S, [(S)\tilde]{\tilde S} are affinely equivalent. If one of S, [(S)\tilde]{\tilde S} even is affinely homogeneous, ‘affinely equivalent’ can be replaced by ‘linearly equivalent’. In case the nil-index of N{\mathcal{N}} does not exceed 4 the hypersurface S is always affinely homogeneous. Contrary to the expectation, in case nil-index 5 there exists an example (in dimension 23) where S is not affinely homogeneous.     

Actions of symbolic dynamical systems on C*-algebras. II. Simplicity of C*-symbolic crossed products and some examples

A C*-symbolic dynamical system ${(\mathcal{A}, \rho, \Sigma)}A C*-symbolic dynamical system (A, r, S){(\mathcal{A}, \rho, \Sigma)} consists of a unital C*-algebra A{\mathcal{A}} and a finite family { r_a }_{a ? S}{\{ \rho_\alpha \}_{\alpha \in \Sigma}} of endomorphisms ρ _α of A{\mathcal{A}} indexed by symbols α of Σ satisfying some conditions. The endomorphisms r_a, a ? S{\rho_\alpha, \alpha \in \Sigma } yield both a subshift Λ and a C*-algebra of a Hilbert C*-bimodule. The obtained C*-algebra is regarded as a crossed product of A{\mathcal{A}} by the subshift Λ. We will study simplicity condition of these C*-algebras. Some examples such as irrational rotation Cuntz–Krieger algebras will be studied.     

Topology and Smooth Structure for Pseudoframes

Given a closed subspace ${\mathcal{S}}Given a closed subspace S{\mathcal{S}} of a Hilbert space H{\mathcal{H}}, we study the sets F_S{\mathcal{F}_\mathcal{S}} of pseudo-frames, CF_S{\mathcal{C}\mathcal{F}_\mathcal{S}} of commutative pseudo-frames and \mathfrakX_S{\tiny{\mathfrak{X}}_{\mathcal{S}}} of dual frames for S{\mathcal{S}}, via the (well known) one to one correspondence which assigns a pair of operators (F, H) to a frame pair ({f_n}_{n ? \mathbbN},{h_n}_{n ? \mathbbN}){(\{f_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}},\{h_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}})},

Protasov 《Algebra Universalis》2009,62(4):339-343 Let ${\mathbb{A}}Let \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} be a universal algebra of signature Ω, and let I{\mathcal{I}} be an ideal in the Boolean algebra P\mathbbA{\mathcal{P}_{\mathbb{A}}} of all subsets of \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} . We say that I{\mathcal{I}} is an Ω-ideal if I{\mathcal{I}} contains all finite subsets of \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} and f(An) ? I{f(A^{n}) \in \mathcal{I}} for every n-ary operation f ? W{f \in \Omega} and every A ? I{A \in \mathcal{I}} . We prove that there are 22à0{2^{2^{\aleph_0}}} Ω-ideals in P\mathbbA{\mathcal{P}_{\mathbb{A}}} provided that \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} is countably infinite and Ω is countable.      6. Cartan-Dieudonné Theorem for {\mathcal {A}}-Modules      Patrice P. Ntumba 《Mediterranean Journal of Mathematics》2010,7(4):445-454 Like the classical Cartan-Dieudonné theorem, the sheaf-theoretic version shows that A{\mathcal {A}}-isometries on a convenient A{\mathcal {A}}-module E{\mathcal {E}} of rank n can be decomposed in at most n orthogonal symmetries (reflections) with respect to non-isotropic hyperplanes. However, the coefficient sheaf of \mathbb C{\mathbb {C}}-algebras A{\mathcal {A}} is assumed to be a PID \mathbb C{\mathbb {C}}-algebra sheaf and, if (E,f){(\mathcal {E},\phi)} is a pairing with f{\phi} a non-degenerate A{\mathcal {A}}-bilinear morphism, we assume that E{\mathcal {E}} has nowhere-zero (local) isotropic sections; but, for Riemannian sheaves of A{\mathcal {A}}-modules, this is not necessarily required.      7. Weyl’s Theorem for Functions of Operators and Approximation      Chun Guang Li  Sen Zhu  You Ling Feng 《Integral Equations and Operator Theory》2010,67(4):481-497 Let H{\mathcal{H}} be a complex separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space. In this paper, we characterize those operators T on H{\mathcal{H}} satisfying that Weyl’s theorem holds for f(T) for each function f analytic on some neighborhood of σ(T). Also, it is proved that, given an operator T on H{\mathcal{H}} and ε > 0, there exists a compact operator K with ||K|| < e{\|K\| < \varepsilon} such that Weyl’s theorem holds for T + K.      8. Repeated and Continuous Interactions in Open Quantum Systems      Laurent Bruneau  Alain Joye  Marco Merkli 《Annales Henri Poincare》2010,10(7):1251-1284 We consider a finite quantum system S{\mathcal {S}} coupled to two environments of different nature. One is a heat reservoir R{\mathcal {R}} (continuous interaction) and the other one is a chain C{\mathcal {C}} of independent quantum systems E{\mathcal {E}} (repeated interaction). The interactions of S{\mathcal {S}} with R{\mathcal {R}} and C{\mathcal {C}} lead to two simultaneous dynamical processes. We show that for generic such systems, any initial state approaches an asymptotic state in the limit of large times. We express the latter in terms of the resonance data of a reduced propagator of S+R{\mathcal {S}+\mathcal {R}} and show that it satisfies a second law of thermodynamics. We analyze a model where both S{\mathcal {S}} and E{\mathcal {E}} are two-level systems and obtain the asymptotic state explicitly (at lowest order in the interaction strength). Even though R{\mathcal {R}} and C{\mathcal {C}} are not directly coupled, we show that they exchange energy, and we find the dependence of this exchange in terms of the thermodynamic parameters. We formulate the problem in the framework of W *-dynamical systems and base the analysis on a combination of spectral deformation methods and repeated interaction model techniques. We analyze the full system via rigorous perturbation theory in the coupling strength, and do not resort to any scaling limit, like e.g. weak coupling limits, or any other approximations in order to derive some master equation.      9. Clones with finitely many relative $${\mathcal {R}}$$ -classes      Erkko Lehtonen  Ágnes Szendrei 《Algebra Universalis》2011,65(2):109-159 For each clone C{\mathcal {C}} on a set A there is an associated equivalence relation analogous to Green’s R{\mathcal {R}} -relation, which relates two operations on A if and only if each one is a substitution instance of the other using operations from C{\mathcal {C}} . We study the clones for which there are only finitely many relative R{\mathcal {R}} -classes.      10. Writing binomial coefficients as sums of three squares      Gabriel Mincu  Laurenţiu Panaitopol 《Archiv der Mathematik》2010,95(5):401-409 Let ${\mathcal{S}}Let S{\mathcal{S}} denote the set consisting of those integers which can be written as sums of three squares. We prove that if 0 ≤ k ≤ n and ((n) || 0), ((n) || 1),?, ((n) || (k)) ? S{{n\choose 0}, {n\choose 1},\ldots, {n\choose k}\in\mathcal{S}}, then k ≤ 73. We then study how many consecutive binomial coefficients may belong to S{\mathcal{S}}, and prove that for any given k we can find infinitely many values of n such that at least k consecutive coefficients ((n) || (j)), ((n) || (j+1)),?,((n) || (j+k-1)){{n\choose j}, {n\choose j+1},\ldots,{n\choose j+k-1}} belong to S{\mathcal{S}}. We also prove the existence of infinitely many quadruples of consecutive binomial coefficients that cannot be written as sums of three squares and that from five consecutive binomial coefficients at least one is a sum of three squares.      11. Factorisations of the Helmholtz Operator, Radó’s Theorem, and Clifford Analysis      C. Gonzalez–Flores  E. S. Zeron 《Advances in Applied Clifford Algebras》2011,21(1):89-101 Radó’s theorem for holomorphic functions asserts that if a continuous function is holomorphic on the complement of its zero locus, then it is holomorphic everywhere. We prove in this paper an equivalent theorem for functions lying in the kernel of a first order differential operator D{\mathcal{D}} such that the Helmholtz operator ∇2+λ can be factorized as the composition [^(D)]D{\widehat{\mathcal{D}}\mathcal{D}} . We also analyse the factorisations [^(D)]D{\widehat{\mathcal{D}}\mathcal{D}} of the Laplace and Helmholtz operators associated to the Clifford analysis and the representations of holomorphic function of several complex variables.      12. Closed-Range Composition Operators on {\mathbb{A}^2} and the Bloch Space      John R. Akeroyd  Pratibha G. Ghatage  Maria Tjani 《Integral Equations and Operator Theory》2010,68(4):503-517 For any analytic self-map j{\varphi} of {z : |z| <  1} we give four separate conditions, each of which is necessary and sufficient for the composition operator Cj{C_{\varphi}} to be closed-range on the Bloch space B{\mathcal{B}} . Among these conditions are some that appear in the literature, where we provide new proofs. We further show that if Cj{C_{\varphi}} is closed-range on the Bergman space \mathbbA2{\mathbb{A}^2} , then it is closed-range on B{\mathcal{B}} , but that the converse of this fails with a vengeance. Our analysis involves an extension of the Julia-Carathéodory Theorem.      13. Ideals of a C *-algebra generated by an operator algebra      Kate Juschenko 《Mathematische Zeitschrift》2010,266(3):693-705 In this paper, we consider ideals of a C *-algebra C*(B){C^*(\mathcal{B})} generated by an operator algebra B{\mathcal{B}} . A closed ideal J í C*(B){J\subseteq C^*(\mathcal{B})} is called a K-boundary ideal if the restriction of the quotient map on B{\mathcal{B}} has a completely bounded inverse with cb-norm equal to K −1. For K = 1 one gets the notion of boundary ideals introduced by Arveson. We study properties of the K-boundary ideals and characterize them in the case when operator algebra λ-norms itself. Several reformulations of the Kadison similarity problem are given. In particular, the affirmative answer to this problem is equivalent to the statement that every bounded homomorphism from C*(B){C^*(\mathcal{B})} onto B{\mathcal{B}} which is a projection on B{\mathcal{B}} is completely bounded. Moreover, we prove that Kadison’s similarity problem is decided on one particular C *-algebra which is a completion of the *-double of M2(\mathbbC){M_2(\mathbb{C})} .      14. On Linear Fractional Transformations Associated with Generalized J-Inner Matrix Functions      Vladimir Derkach  Harry Dym 《Integral Equations and Operator Theory》2009,65(1):1-50 A class Uk1 (J){\mathcal{U}}_{\kappa 1} (J) of generalized J-inner mvf’s (matrix valued functions) W(λ) which appear as resolvent matrices for bitangential interpolation problems in the generalized Schur class of p ×q  mvf￠s Skp ×qp \times q \, {\rm mvf's}\, {\mathcal{S}}_{\kappa}^{p \times q} and some associated reproducing kernel Pontryagin spaces are studied. These spaces are used to describe the range of the linear fractional transformation TW based on W and applied to Sk2p ×q{\mathcal{S}}_{\kappa 2}^{p \times q}. Factorization formulas for mvf’s W in a subclass U°k1 (J) of Uk1(J){\mathcal{U}^{\circ}_{\kappa 1}} (J)\, {\rm of}\, {\mathcal{U}}_{\kappa 1}(J) found and then used to parametrize the set Sk1+k2p ×q ?TW [ Sk2p ×q ]{\mathcal{S}}_{{\kappa 1}+{\kappa 2}}^{p \times q} \cap T_{W} \left[ {\mathcal{S}}_{\kappa 2}^{p \times q} \right]. Applications to bitangential interpolation problems in the class Sk1+k2p ×q{\mathcal{S}}_{{\kappa 1}+{\kappa 2}}^{p \times q} will be presented elsewhere.      15.

In this paper we determine the possible intersection configurations between Γ and H{\mathcal{H}} under the hypotheses that Γ and H{\mathcal{H}} either share two points with the same tangent lines or contain a common Baer subconic. Moreover, the intersection configurations between a degenerate Hermitian curve and a conic sharing a Baer subconic are also determined.      17. Vectorial exceptional families of elements      Y. Chiang 《Journal of Global Optimization》2010,47(1):53-62 Let Z{\mathcal{Z}} be an ordered Hausdorff topological vector space with a preorder defined by a pointed closed convex cone C ì Z{C \subset {\mathcal Z}} with a nonempty interior. In this paper, we introduce exceptional families of elements w.r.t. C for multivalued mappings defined on a closed convex cone of a normed space X with values in the set L(X, Z){L(X, {\mathcal Z})} of all continuous linear mappings from X into Z{\mathcal{Z}} . In Banach spaces, we prove a vectorial analogue of a theorem due to Bianchi, Hadjisavvas and Schaible. As an application, the C-EFE acceptability of C-pseudomonotone multivalued mappings is investigated.      18. Delsarte Set Graphs with Small c 2      S. Bang  A. Hiraki  J. H.

We showed in Bang et al. (J Combin 28:501–506, 2007) that if ψ 1 > 1 then c 2 ≥ 2 ψ 1 where y1:=|G1(x)?C |{\psi_1:=|\Gamma_1(x)\cap C |} for x ? V(G){x\in V(\Gamma)} and C a Delsarte clique satisfying d(x, C) = 1. In this paper, we classify Γ with the case c 2 = 2ψ 1 > 2. As a consequence of this result, we show that if c 2 ≤ 5 and ψ 1 > 1 then Γ is either a Johnson graph or a folded Johnson graph [`(J)](4s,2s){\overline{J}(4s,2s)} with s ≥ 3.      19. Relative universality and universality obtained by adding constants      Marie?Demlová  Václav?Koubek  Ji?í?SichlerEmail author 《Algebra Universalis》2011,65(2):179-184 A variety ${\mathbb{V}}${\mathbb{V}} is var-relatively universal if it contains a subvariety \mathbbW{\mathbb{W}} such that the class of all homomorphisms that do not factorize through any algebra in \mathbbW{\mathbb{W}} is algebraically universal. And \mathbbV{\mathbb{V}} has an algebraically universal α-expansion a\mathbbV{\alpha\mathbb{V}} if adding α nullary operations to all algebras in \mathbbV{\mathbb{V}} gives rise to a class a\mathbbV{\alpha\mathbb{V}} of algebras that is algebraically universal. The first two authors have conjectured that any varrelative universal variety \mathbbV{\mathbb{V}} has an algebraically universal α-expansion a\mathbbV{\alpha\mathbb{V}} . This note contains a more general result that proves this conjecture.      20. Triangulating Smooth Submanifolds with Light Scaffolding      Jean-Daniel Boissonnat  Arijit Ghosh 《Mathematics in Computer Science》2010,4(4):431-461 We propose an algorithm to sample and mesh a k-submanifold M{\mathcal{M}} of positive reach embedded in \mathbbRd{\mathbb{R}^{d}} . The algorithm first constructs a crude sample of M{\mathcal{M}} . It then refines the sample according to a prescribed parameter e{\varepsilon} , and builds a mesh that approximates M{\mathcal{M}} . Differently from most algorithms that have been developed for meshing surfaces of \mathbbR 3{\mathbb{R} ^3} , the refinement phase does not rely on a subdivision of \mathbbR d{\mathbb{R} ^d} (such as a grid or a triangulation of the sample points) since the size of such scaffoldings depends exponentially on the ambient dimension d. Instead, we only compute local stars consisting of k-dimensional simplices around each sample point. By refining the sample, we can ensure that all stars become coherent leading to a k-dimensional triangulated manifold [^(M)]{\hat{\mathcal{M}}} . The algorithm uses only simple numerical operations. We show that the size of the sample is O(e-k){O(\varepsilon ^{-k})} and that [^(M)]{\hat{\mathcal{M}}} is a good triangulation of M{\mathcal{M}} . More specifically, we show that M{\mathcal{M}} and [^(M)]{\hat{\mathcal{M}}} are isotopic, that their Hausdorff distance is O(e2){O(\varepsilon ^{2})} and that the maximum angle between their tangent bundles is O(e){O(\varepsilon )} . The asymptotic complexity of the algorithm is T(e) = O(e-k2-k){T(\varepsilon) = O(\varepsilon ^{-k^2-k})} (for fixed M, d{\mathcal{M}, d} and k).

Repeated and Continuous Interactions in Open Quantum Systems

We consider a finite quantum system S{\mathcal {S}} coupled to two environments of different nature. One is a heat reservoir R{\mathcal {R}} (continuous interaction) and the other one is a chain C{\mathcal {C}} of independent quantum systems E{\mathcal {E}} (repeated interaction). The interactions of S{\mathcal {S}} with R{\mathcal {R}} and C{\mathcal {C}} lead to two simultaneous dynamical processes.

We express the latter in terms of the resonance data of a reduced propagator of S+R{\mathcal {S}+\mathcal {R}} and show that it satisfies a second law of thermodynamics.

Clones with finitely many relative $${\mathcal {R}}$$ -classes

For each clone C{\mathcal {C}} on a set A there is an associated equivalence relation analogous to Green’s R{\mathcal {R}} -relation, which relates two operations on A if and only if each one is a substitution instance of the other using operations from C{\mathcal {C}} . We study the clones for which there are only finitely many relative R{\mathcal {R}} -classes.     

Writing binomial coefficients as sums of three squares

Factorisations of the Helmholtz Operator, Radó’s Theorem, and Clifford Analysis

Radó’s theorem for holomorphic functions asserts that if a continuous function is holomorphic on the complement of its zero locus, then it is holomorphic everywhere. We prove in this paper an equivalent theorem for functions lying in the kernel of a first order differential operator D{\mathcal{D}} such that the Helmholtz operator ∇²+λ can be factorized as the composition [^(D)]D{\widehat{\mathcal{D}}\mathcal{D}} . We also analyse the factorisations [^(D)]D{\widehat{\mathcal{D}}\mathcal{D}} of the Laplace and Helmholtz operators associated to the Clifford analysis and the representations of holomorphic function of several complex variables.

Ideals of a C *-algebra generated by an operator algebra

In this paper, we consider ideals of a C ^*-algebra C^*(B){C^*(\mathcal{B})} generated by an operator algebra B{\mathcal{B}} . A closed ideal J í C^*(B){J\subseteq C^*(\mathcal{B})} is called a K-boundary ideal if the restriction of the quotient map on B{\mathcal{B}} has a completely bounded inverse with cb-norm equal to K ⁻¹. For K = 1 one gets the notion of boundary ideals introduced by Arveson. We study properties of the K-boundary ideals and characterize them in the case when operator algebra λ-norms itself. Several reformulations of the Kadison similarity problem are given. In particular, the affirmative answer to this problem is equivalent to the statement that every bounded homomorphism from C^*(B){C^*(\mathcal{B})} onto B{\mathcal{B}} which is a projection on B{\mathcal{B}} is completely bounded. Moreover, we prove that Kadison’s similarity problem is decided on one particular C ^*-algebra which is a completion of the *-double of M₂(\mathbbC){M_2(\mathbb{C})} .

As a consequence of this result, we show that if c ₂ ≤ 5 and ψ ₁ > 1 then Γ is either a Johnson graph or a folded Johnson graph [`(J)](4s,2s){\overline{J}(4s,2s)} with s ≥ 3.     

Relative universality and universality obtained by adding constants

A variety ${\mathbb{V}}${\mathbb{V}} is var-relatively universal if it contains a subvariety \mathbbW{\mathbb{W}} such that the class of all homomorphisms that do not factorize through any algebra in \mathbbW{\mathbb{W}} is algebraically universal. And \mathbbV{\mathbb{V}} has an algebraically universal α-expansion a\mathbbV{\alpha\mathbb{V}} if adding α nullary operations to all algebras in \mathbbV{\mathbb{V}} gives rise to a class a\mathbbV{\alpha\mathbb{V}} of algebras that is algebraically universal. The first two authors have conjectured that any varrelative universal variety \mathbbV{\mathbb{V}} has an algebraically universal α-expansion a\mathbbV{\alpha\mathbb{V}} . This note contains a more general result that proves this conjecture.     

Triangulating Smooth Submanifolds with Light Scaffolding

We propose an algorithm to sample and mesh a k-submanifold M{\mathcal{M}} of positive reach embedded in \mathbbR^d{\mathbb{R}^{d}} . The algorithm first constructs a crude sample of M{\mathcal{M}} . It then refines the sample according to a prescribed parameter e{\varepsilon} , and builds a mesh that approximates M{\mathcal{M}} . Differently from most algorithms that have been developed for meshing surfaces of \mathbbR ³{\mathbb{R} ^3} , the refinement phase does not rely on a subdivision of \mathbbR ^d{\mathbb{R} ^d} (such as a grid or a triangulation of the sample points) since the size of such scaffoldings depends exponentially on the ambient dimension d. Instead, we only compute local stars consisting of k-dimensional simplices around each sample point. By refining the sample, we can ensure that all stars become coherent leading to a k-dimensional triangulated manifold [^(M)]{\hat{\mathcal{M}}} . The algorithm uses only simple numerical operations. We show that the size of the sample is O(e^-k){O(\varepsilon ^{-k})} and that [^(M)]{\hat{\mathcal{M}}} is a good triangulation of M{\mathcal{M}} . More specifically, we show that M{\mathcal{M}} and [^(M)]{\hat{\mathcal{M}}} are isotopic, that their Hausdorff distance is O(e²){O(\varepsilon ^{2})} and that the maximum angle between their tangent bundles is O(e){O(\varepsilon )} . The asymptotic complexity of the algorithm is T(e) = O(e^-k2-k){T(\varepsilon) = O(\varepsilon ^{-k^2-k})} (for fixed M, d{\mathcal{M}, d} and k).
