A variety is a class of Banach algebras , for which there exists a family of laws such that is precisely the class of all Banach algebras which satisfies all of the laws (i.e. for all , . We say that is an -variety if all of the laws are homogeneous. A semivariety is a class of Banach algebras , for which there exists a family of homogeneous laws such that is precisely the class of all Banach algebras , for which there exists 0$"> such that for all homogeneous polynomials , , where . However, there is no variety between the variety of all -algebras and the variety of all -algebras, which can be defined by homogeneous laws alone. So the theory of semivarieties and the theory of varieties differ significantly. In this paper we shall construct uncountable chains and antichains of semivarieties which are not varieties.

Depending on the curvature of , this estimate can be improved by introducing mixed-norm estimates of the form where and are conjugate exponents. 相似文献
Let be an integral domain. A saturated multiplicatively closed subset of is a splitting set if each nonzero may be written as where and for all . We show that if is a splitting set in , then is a splitting set in , a multiplicatively closed subset of , and that is a splitting set in is an lcm splitting set of , i.e., is a splitting set of with the further property that is principal for all and . Several new characterizations and applications of splitting sets are given.
Let , where and is a Banach space. Let be an extension of to all of (i.e., ) such that has minimal (operator) norm. In this paper we show in particular that, in the case and the field is R, there exists a rank- such that for all if and only if the unit ball of is either not smooth or not strictly convex. In this case we show, furthermore, that, for some , there exists a choice of basis such that ; i.e., each is a Hahn-Banach extension of .
For an element of a commutative complex Banach algebra we investigate the following property: every complete norm on making the multiplication by from to itself continuous is equivalent to .
This article presents sufficient conditions for the positive definiteness of radial functions , , in terms of the derivatives of . The criterion extends and unifies the previous analogues of Pólya's theorem and applies to arbitrarily smooth functions. In particular, it provides upper bounds on the Kuttner-Golubov function which gives the minimal value of such that the truncated power function , , is positive definite. Analogous problems and criteria of Pólya type for -dependent functions, 0$">, are also considered.
For every normed space , we note its closed unit ball and unit sphere by and , respectively. Let and be normed spaces such that is Lipschitz homeomorphic to , and is Lipschitz homeomorphic to .

3. is Lipschitz homeomorphic to .
This result holds also in the uniform category, except (2 or 3) 1 which is known to be false.
A new construction of semi-free actions on Menger manifolds is presented. As an application we prove a theorem about simultaneous coexistence of countably many semi-free actions of compact metric zero-dimensional groups with the prescribed fixed-point sets: Let be a compact metric zero-dimensional group, represented as the direct product of subgroups , a -manifold and (resp., ) its pseudo-interior (resp., pseudo-boundary). Then, given closed subsets of , there exists a -action on such that (1) and are invariant subsets of ; and (2) each is the fixed point set of any element .

A commutative Banach algebra is said to have the property if the following holds: Let be a closed subspace of finite codimension such that, for every , the Gelfand transform has at least distinct zeros in , the maximal ideal space of .

In this paper we show that if is compact and nowhere dense, then , the uniform closure of the space of rational functions with poles off , has the property for all . We also investigate the property for the algebra of real continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space.
Let be a -uniformly smooth Banach space possessing a weakly sequentially continuous duality map (e.g., ).

If is a Hilbert space, then converges strongly to the unique fixed point of closest to .
