A Moore space with a -base which cannot be densely embedded in any Moore space with the Baire property

The author answers a question raised in the literature about twenty five years ago and raised again more recently in Open Problems in Topology, by G. M. Reed, concerning the conjecture that every Moore space with a -discrete -base can be densely embedded in a Moore space having the Baire property. Even though closely related results have made this conjecture seem likely to be true, the author shows that, surprisingly, the conjecture is false.

     

The Toda molecule equation and the -algorithm

One of the well-known convergence acceleration methods, the -algorithm is investigated from the viewpoint of the Toda molecule equation. It is shown that the error caused by the algorithm is evaluated by means of solutions for the equation. The acceleration algorithm based on the discrete Toda molecule equation is also presented.

     

A -normal, not densely normal Tychonoff space

We give an example of a -normal space which is not densely normal.

     

Baire and

Let be a locally compact Hausdorff space and let be the Banach space of all bounded complex Radon measures on . Let and be the -rings generated by the compact subsets and by the compact subsets of , respectively. The members of are called Baire sets of and those of are called -Borel sets of (since they are precisely the -bounded Borel sets of ). Identifying with the Banach space of all Borel regular complex measures on , in this note we characterize weakly compact subsets of in terms of the Baire and -Borel restrictions of the members of . These characterizations permit us to give a generalization of a theorem of Dieudonné which is stronger and more natural than that given by Grothendieck.

A characterization of

This work is devoted to the relationship between topological properties of a space and those of (= the space of continuous real-valued functions on , with the topology of pointwise convergence). The emphasis is on -compactness of and on location of in . In particular, -compact cosmic spaces are characterized in this way.

     

On the dimension of almost -dimensional spaces

Oversteegen and Tymchatyn proved that homeomorphism groups of positive dimensional Menger compacta are -dimensional by proving that almost -dimensional spaces are at most -dimensional. These homeomorphism groups are almost -dimensional and at least -dimensional by classical results of Brechner and Bestvina. In this note we prove that almost -dimensional spaces for are -dimensional. As a corollary we answer in the affirmative an old question of R. Duda by proving that every hereditarily locally connected, non-degenerate, separable, metric space is -dimensional.

     

A zero entropy endomorphism is nonstandard

We present an example of an ergodic transformation , a variant of a zero entropy non-loosely Bernoulli map of Feldman, such that the sequence of random variables generated by the [,Id] endomorphism is nonstandard.

     

Every -regular

We prove the following: Theorem A. If is a -regular ultrafilter, then either

(a)

is -regular, or

(b)

the cofinality of the linear order is , and is -regular for all .

Corollary B. Suppose that is singular, and either is regular, or . Then every -regular ultrafilter is -regular.

We also discuss some consequences and variations.

     

Paranormal spaces under

We prove that paranormal spaces of character are -
collectionwise Hausdorff assuming the set-theoretic principle . This gives an affirmative answer to problem 197 in Problems I wish I could solve, by W. S. Watson (Open Problems in Topology (1990), 37-76).

     

GO-spaces with -closed discrete dense subsets

In this paper we study the question ``When does a perfect generalized ordered space have a -closed-discrete dense subset?' and we characterize such spaces in terms of their subspace structure, -mappings to metric spaces, and special open covers. We also give a metrization theorem for generalized ordered spaces that have a -closed-discrete dense set and a weak monotone ortho-base. That metrization theorem cannot be proved in ZFC for perfect GO-spaces because if there is a Souslin line, then there is a non-metrizable, perfect, linearly ordered topological space that has a weak monotone ortho-base.

     

Ultrafilters on -their ideals and their cardinal characteristics

For a free ultrafilter on we study several cardinal characteristics which describe part of the combinatorial structure of . We provide various consistency results; e.g. we show how to force simultaneously many characters and many -characters. We also investigate two ideals on the Baire space naturally related to and calculate cardinal coefficients of these ideals in terms of cardinal characteristics of the underlying ultrafilter.

     

A note on -summable groups

We answer questions raised by P. Danchev in a recent paper in these Proceedings. It is shown that a -summable abelian -group is not determined by its socle, that is, two such groups can have isometric socles without being isomorphic. It is also demonstrated that -summability plays essentially no role in regard to the question of whether or not is totally projective, where denotes the group of normalized units of the group algebra with being a perfect field of characteristic .

     

Positivity of polarizations of -positive maps

It is shown that polarization formulas have explicit matrix representations. This enables us to prove that polarization formulas of -positive maps between -algebras are coordinatewise positive.

     

The nonarchimedean theta correspondence for

In this paper we consider the theta correspondence between the sets and when is a nonarchimedean local field and . Our main theorem determines all the elements of that occur in the correspondence. The answer involves distinguished representations. As a corollary, we characterize all the elements of that occur in the theta correspondence between and . We also apply our main result to prove a case of a new conjecture of S.S. Kudla concerning the first occurrence of a representation in the theta correspondence.

     

Order -adic field

Let be an algebraically closed field of characteristic the ring of Witt vectors and a complete discrete valuation ring dominating and containing a primitive -th root of unity. Let denote a uniformizing parameter for We study order automorphisms of the formal power series ring which are defined by a series

The set of fixed points of is denoted by and we suppose that they are -rational and that for Let be the minimal semi-stable model of the -adic open disc over in which specializes to distinct smooth points. We study the differential data that can be associated to each irreducible component of the special fibre of Using this data we show that if , then the fixed points are equidistant, and that there are only a finite number of conjugacy classes of order automorphisms in which are not the identity

     

An inductive explicit construction of -products on some Poisson manifolds

We extend the Cahen Gutt coboundary construction on cotangent bundles of -dimensional parallelisable manifolds to manifolds which admit global vector fields defining a parallelisation on a dense open set. This result is used to give an inductive explicit construction of -products on certain Poisson manifolds.
