On Homomorphisms between <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-Algebras and Linear Derivations on <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-Algebras

It is shown that every almost linear Pexider mappings f, g, h from a unital C*-algebra into a unital C*-algebra ℬ are homomorphisms when f(2 ⁿ _uy) = f(2 ⁿ u)f(y), g(2 ⁿ uy) = g(2 ⁿ u)g(y) and h(2 ⁿ uy) = h(2 ⁿ u)h(y) hold for all unitaries u ∈ , all y ∈ , and all n ∈ ℤ, and that every almost linear continuous Pexider mappings f, g, h from a unital C*-algebra of real rank zero into a unital C*-algebra ℬ are homomorphisms when f(2 ⁿ uy) = f(2 ⁿ u)f(y), g(2 ⁿ uy) = g(2 ⁿ u)g(y) and h(2 ⁿ uy) = h(2 ⁿ u)h(y) hold for all u ∈ {v ∈ : v = v* and v is invertible}, all y ∈ and all n ∈ ℤ. Furthermore, we prove the Cauchy-Rassias stability of *-homomorphisms between unital C*-algebras, and ℂ-linear *-derivations on unital C*-algebras.

On the <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>-Theory of Graph <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Superscript>*</Superscript>-Algebras

We classify graph C ^*-algebras, namely, Cuntz-Krieger algebras associated to the Bass-Hashimoto edge incidence operator of a finite graph, up to strict isomorphism. This is done by a purely graph theoretical calculation of the K-theory of the C ^*-algebras and the method also provides an independent proof of the classification up to Morita equivalence and stable equivalence of such algebras, without using the boundary operator algebra. A direct relation is given between the K ₁-group of the algebra and the cycle space of the graph. We thank Jakub Byszewski for his input in Sect. 2.8. The position of the unit in K ₀( _Ч) was guessed based on some example calculations by Jannis Visser in his SCI 291 Science Laboratory at Utrecht University College.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-Homomorphisms and duality of <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-discrete quantum groups

Let

on a Hilbert space H =

with a vacuum vector Ω, which gives rise to a

<Emphasis Type="Italic">tt</Emphasis><Superscript>*</Superscript>-Geometry and Pluriharmonic Maps

In this paper we use the real differential geometric definition of a metric (a unimodular oriented metric) tt^*-bundle of Cortés and the author (Topological-anti-topological fusion equations, pluriharmonic maps and special Kähler manifolds) to define a map Φ from the space of metric (unimodular oriented metric) tt^*-bundles of rank r over a complex manifold M to the space of pluriharmonic maps from M to {GL}(r)/O(p,q) (respectively {SL}(r)/SO(p,q)), where (p,q) is the signature of the metric. In the sequel the image of the map Φ is characterized. It follows, that in signature (r,0) the image of Φ is the whole space of pluriharmonic maps. This generalizes a result of Dubrovin (Comm. Math. Phys. 152 (1992; S539–S564).     

On the <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-valued triangle equality and inequality in Hilbert <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-modules

We prove that for two elements x, y in a Hilbert C*-module V over a C*-algebra the C*-valued triangle equality |x + y| = |x| + |y| holds if and only if 〈x, y〉 = |x| |y|. In addition, if has a unit e, then for every x, y ∊ V and every ɛ > 0 there are contractions u, υ ∊ such that |x + y| ≦ u|x|u* + υ|y|υ* + ɛe.      

Tensor Products of Hilbert Modules Over Locally <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Superscript>*</Superscript>-Algebras

In this paper the tensor products of Hilbert modules over locally C ^*-algebras are defined and their properties are studied. Thus we show that most of the basic properties of the tensor products of Hilbert C ^*-modules are also valid in the context of Hilbert modules over locally C ^*-algebras.

The Dedekind Completion of <Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>-Algebras

It is shown that the multiplication in an Archimedean d-algebra A can be extended to a multiplication in the Dedekind completion A of A such that A becomes a d-algebra with respect to this extended multiplication. This answers a question posed by Huijsmans in Studies in Economic Theory (Vol. 2, Springer, Berlin, 1991).     

Approximately Linear Mappings in Banach Modules over a C^＊-algebra

Let X and Y be vector spaces. The authors show that a mapping f ： X →Y satisfies the functional equation 2d f（∑^2d j=1（-1）^j＋1xj/2d）=∑^2dj=1（-1）^j＋1f（xj） with f（0） = 0 if and only if the mapping f ： X→ Y is Cauchy additive, and prove the stability of the functional equation （≠） in Banach modules over a unital C^＊-algebra, and in Poisson Banach modules over a unital Poisson C＊-algebra. Let A and B be unital C^＊-algebras, Poisson C^＊-algebras or Poisson JC^＊- algebras. As an application, the authors show that every almost homomorphism h ： A →B of A into is a homomorphism when h（（2d-1）^nuy） =- h（（2d-1）^nu）h（y） or h（（2d-1）^nuoy） = h（（2d-1）^nu）oh（y） for all unitaries u ∈A, all y ∈ A, n = 0, 1, 2,.... Moreover, the authors prove the stability of homomorphisms in C^＊-algebras, Poisson C^＊-algebras or Poisson JC^＊-algebras.     

Kaplansky Density and Kadison Transitivity Theorems for Irreducible Representations of Real C＊-Algebras

We prove analogs of the Kaplansky Density Theorem and the Kadison Transitivity Theorem for irreducible representations of a real C＊-algebra on a real Hilbert space. Specifically, if a C＊-algebra is acting irreducibly on a real Hilbert space, then the Hilbert space has either a real, complex, or quaternionic structure with respect to which the density and transitivity theorems hold.     

Translation Invariant Asymptotic Homomorphisms and Extensions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-Algebras

Let A and B be C*-algebras, let A be separable, and let B be σ-unital and stable. We introduce the notion of translation invariance for asymptotic homomorphisms from S A = C₀(?) ? A to B and show that the Connes—Higson construction applied to any extension of A by B is homotopic to a translation invariant asymptotic homomorphism. In the other direction we give a construction which produces extensions of A by B from a translation invariant asymptotic homomorphism. This leads to our main result that the homotopy classes of extensions coincide with the homotopy classes of translation invariant asymptotic homomorphisms.     

Some Notes on <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>- and <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-quotients of Frames

We characterise C*-quotients and C-quotients of completely regular frames in terms of ?ech-Stone compactifications and Lindelöfications, respectively. The latter is a frame-theoretic result with no spatial counterpart. We also characterise C*-quotients and dense C-quotients of completely regular frames in terms of normal covers.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> approximation capability of RBF neural networks

L ^p approximation capability of radial basis function (RBF) neural networks is investigated. If g: R ₊¹ → R ¹ and ∈ L _loc ^p (R ⁿ ) with 1 ≤ p < ∞, then the RBF neural networks with g as the activation function can approximate any given function in L ^p (K) with any accuracy for any compact set K in R ⁿ , if and only if g(x) is not an even polynomial.

Regular interval Cantor sets of <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript>1</Superscript> and minimality

It is known that not every Cantor set of S ¹ is C ¹-minimal. In this work we prove that every member of a subfamily of what we here call regular interval Cantor set is not C ¹-minimal. We also prove that no member of a class of Cantor sets that includes this subfamily is C ^1+∈-minimal, for any ∈ > 0. Partially supported by CNPq-Brasil and PEDECIBA-Uruguay.

On locally <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis>-convex <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>*-algebras

We endow any proper A-convex H*-algebra (E, τ) with a locally pre-C*-topology. The latter is equivalent to that introduced by the pre C*-norm given by Ptàk function when (E, τ) is a Q-algebra. We also prove that the algebra of complex numbers is the unique proper locally A-convex H*-algebra which is barrelled and Q-algebra.
