Spectrally bounded -derivations on Banach algebras

Applying the density theorem on algebras with -derivations, we show that if a -derivation of a unital Banach algebra is spectrally bounded, then . Also, if and only if , where denotes the spectral radius of .

     

A hereditarily subspace of without the Schur property

Let p_1 > p_2 > \cdots > 1$">. We construct an easily determined -symmetric basic sequence in , which spans a hereditarily subspace without the Schur property. An immediate consequence is the existence of hereditarily subspaces of without the Schur property.

     

Automatic continuity of -derivations on -algebras

Let be a -algebra acting on a Hilbert space , let be a linear mapping and let be a -derivation. Generalizing the celebrated theorem of Sakai, we prove that if is a continuous -mapping, then is automatically continuous. In addition, we show the converse is true in the sense that if is a continuous --derivation, then there exists a continuous linear mapping such that is a --derivation. The continuity of the so-called - -derivations is also discussed.

     

-bounding and -induction

Working in the base theory of , we show that for all , the bounding principle for -formulas ( ) is equivalent to the induction principle for -formulas ( ). This partially answers a question of J. Paris.

     

-theory of -pseudo-differential algebras

We are concerned with the so-called -pseudo-differential calculus. We describe the spectrum of the unital and commutative -algebra given by the norm closure of the space of -order pseudo-differential operators modulo compact operators; other related algebras are also considered. Finally, their -theory is computed.

     

-actions with

Suppose that is a smooth -action on a closed smooth -dimensional manifold such that all Stiefel-Whitney classes of the tangent bundle to each connected component of the fixed point set vanish in positive dimension. This paper shows that if 2^k\dim F$"> and each -dimensional part possesses the linear independence property, then bounds equivariantly, and in particular, is the best possible upper bound of if is nonbounding.

     

Local automorphisms and derivations on certain -algebras

It is shown that continuous -local derivations on -algebras are derivations and surjective -local *-automorphisms on prime -algebras or on -algebras such that the identity element is properly infinite are *-automorphisms.

     

An ultrafilter with property

Let be a -supercompact cardinal. We show that carries a normal ultrafilter with a property introduced by Menas. With it we give a transparent proof of Kamo's theorem that carries a normal ultrafilter with the partition property.

     

Near-symmetry in and refined Jones factorization

We use variants of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal and the Cruz-Uribe-Neugebauer minimal operators to give direct characterizations of and that clarify their near symmetry and yield elementary proofs of various known results, including Cruz-Uribe and Neugebauer's refinement of the Jones factorization theorem.

     

A new representation of the Dedekind completion of -spaces

A new representation of the Dedekind completion of is given. We present a necessary and sufficient condition on a compact Hausdorff space for which the Dedekind completion of is , the space of real valued bounded functions on some set .

     

Interpolation between and

We show that if is a rearrangement invariant space on that is an interpolation space between and and for which we have only a one-sided estimate of the Boyd index 1/p, 1 < p < \infty$">, then is an interpolation space between and . This gives a positive answer for a question posed by Semenov. We also present the one-sided interpolation theorem about operators of strong type and weak type .

     

The projective -character bounds the order of a -base

All spaces below are Tychonov. We define the projective - character of a space as the supremum of the values where ranges over all (Tychonov) continuous images of . Our main result says that every space has a -base whose order is ; that is, every point in is contained in at most -many members of the -base. Since for compact , this is a significant generalization of a celebrated result of Shapirovskii.

     

Sharply -transitive groups with point stabilizer of exponent or

Using the fact that all groups of exponent are nilpotent, we show that every sharply -transitive permutation group whose point stabilizer has exponent or is finite.

     

On mixing and completely mixing properties of positive -contractions of finite von Neumann algebras

Akcoglu and Suchaston proved the following result: Let be a positive contraction. Assume that for the sequence converges weakly in . Then either or there exists a positive function , such that . In the paper we prove an extension of this result in a finite von Neumann algebra setting, and as a consequence we obtain that if a positive contraction of a noncommutative -space has no nonzero positive invariant element, then its mixing property implies the completely mixing property.

     

Gromov hyperbolicity of the and metrics

In this note it is shown that the metric is always Gromov hyperbolic, but that the metric is Gromov hyperbolic if and only if has exactly one boundary point. As a corollary we get a new proof for the fact that the quasihyperbolic metric is Gromov hyperbolic in uniform domains.

Purely periodic -expansions with Pisot unit base

Let 1$"> be a Pisot unit. A family of sets defined by a -numeration system has been extensively studied as an atomic surface or Rauzy fractal. For the purpose of constructing a Markov partition, a domain constructed by an atomic surface has appeared in several papers. In this paper we show that the domain completely characterizes the set of purely periodic -expansions.
