Metrics in the sphere of a C*-module

Given a unital C*-algebra and a right C*-module over , we consider the problem of finding short smooth curves in the sphere = {x ∈ : 〈x, x〉 = 1}. Curves in are measured considering the Finsler metric which consists of the norm of at each tangent space of . The initial value problem is solved, for the case when is a von Neumann algebra and is selfdual: for any element x ₀ ∈ and any tangent vector ν at x ₀, there exists a curve γ(t) = e ^tZ (x ₀), Z ∈ , Z* = −Z and ∥Z∥ ≤ π, such that γ(0) = x ₀ and (0) = ν, which is minimizing along its path for t ∈ [0, 1]. The existence of such Z is linked to the extension problem of selfadjoint operators. Such minimal curves need not be unique. Also we consider the boundary value problem: given x ₀, x ₁ ∈ , find a curve of minimal length which joins them. We give several partial answers to this question. For instance, let us denote by f ₀ the selfadjoint projection I − x ₀ ⊗ x ₀, if the algebra f ₀ f ₀ is finite dimensional, then there exists a curve γ joining x ₀ and x ₁, which is minimizing along its path.      

Complexities of finite families of polynomials,Weyl systems,and constructions in combinatorial number theory

We introduce two notions of complexity of a system of polynomials p ₁,..., p _r ∈ ℤ[n] and apply them to characterize the limits of the expressions of the form where T is a skew-product transformation of a torus and are measurable sets. The dynamical results obtained allow us to construct subsets of integers with specific combinatorial properties related to the polynomial Szemerédi theorem.

Stability of the topological pressure for piecewise monotonic maps underC 1-perturbations

Assume thatX is a finite union of closed intervals and consider aC ¹-mapX→ℝ for which {c∈X: T′c=0} is finite. Set . Fix ann ∈ ℕ. For ε>0, theC ¹-map is called an ε-perturbation ofT if is a piecewise monotonic map with at mostn intervals of monotonicity and is ε-close toT in theC ¹-topology. The influence of small perturbations ofT on the dynamical system (R(T),T) is investigated. Under a certain condition on the continuous functionf:X → ℝ, the topological pressure is lower semi-continuous. Furthermore, the topological pressure is upper semi-continuous for every continuous functionf:X → ℝ. If (R(T),T) has positive topological entropy and a unique measure μ of maximal entropy, then every sufficiently small perturbation ofT has a unique measure of maximal entropy, and the map is continuous atT in the weak star-topology.     

Exponential decay for the eigenfunctions of the two body relativistic hamiltonian

An exponential decay result for the solutionsu of the equation is proved under the hypotheses thatV converges to zero at infinity andf decays exponentially. This ensures that the eigenfunctions of the two body relativistic spinless Hamiltonian decay exponentially: this result parallels the well-known one valid in the non-relativistic case.

Quasiconformal extension of biholomorphic mappings in several complex variables

Letf(z, t) be a subordination chain fort ∈ [0, α], α>0, on the Euclidean unit ballB inC ⁿ. Assume thatf(z) =f(z, 0) is quasiconformal. In this paper, we give a sufficient condition forf to be extendible to a quasiconformal homeomorphism on a neighbourhood of . We also show that, under this condition,f can be extended to a quasiconformal homeomorphism of onto itself and give some applications.

LetW be an open Riemann surface and ap-sheeted (1<p<∞) unlimited covering surface ofW. Denote by Δ¹ (resp., ) the minimal Martin boundary ofW (resp., ). For ζ ∈ Δ, let ζ be the (cardinal) number of the set of pionts which lie over ζ and the class of open connected subsetsM ofW such thatM∪{ζ} is a minimal fine neighborhood of ζ. Our main result is the following: , where is the number of components of π^-1 M and π is the projection of ontoW. Moreover, some applications of the above results are discussed whenW is the unit disc.

A cardinal number connected to the solvability of systems of difference equations in a given function class

Let ℝ^ℝ denote the set of real valued functions defined on the real line. A map D: ℝ^ℝ → ℝ^ℝ is said to be a difference operator if there are real numbers a _i, b _i (i = 1, …, n) such that (Dƒ)(x) = ∑ _i=1 ⁿ a _i ƒ(x + b _i) for every ƒ ∈ ℝ^ℝand x ∈ ℝ. By a system of difference equations we mean a set of equations S = {D _i ƒ = g _i: i ∈ I}, where I is an arbitrary set of indices, D _i is a difference operator and g _i is a given function for every i ∈ I, and ƒ is the unknown function. One can prove that a system S is solvable if and only if every finite subsystem of S is solvable. However, if we look for solutions belonging to a given class of functions then the analogous statement is no longer true. For example, there exists a system S such that every finite subsystem of S has a solution which is a trigonometric polynomial, but S has no such solution; moreover, S has no measurable solutions. This phenomenon motivates the following definition. Let be a class of functions. The solvability cardinal sc( ) of is the smallest cardinal number κ such that whenever S is a system of difference equations and each subsystem of S of cardinality less than κ has a solution in , then S itself has a solution in . In this paper we determine the solvability cardinals of most function classes that occur in analysis. As it turns out, the behaviour of sc( ) is rather erratic. For example, sc(polynomials) = 3 but sc(trigonometric polynomials) = ω ₁, sc({ƒ: ƒ is continuous}) = ω ₁ but sc({f : f is Darboux}) = (2 ^ω )⁺, and sc(ℝ^ℝ) = ω. We consistently determine the solvability cardinals of the classes of Borel, Lebesgue and Baire measurable functions, and give some partial answers for the Baire class 1 and Baire class α functions.

To solving multiparameter problems of algebra. 11. Computing the regular spectrum of a polynomial matrix

For a general multiparameter polynomial matrix , solution of the equation at points of the finite spectrum of is considered. Points of the spectrum of are classified in terms of solutions of the determinantal system of nonlinear algebraic equations and also in terms of zeros of certain scalar polynomials (in particular, the characteristic polynomial of the matrix). Algorithms for computing points of the finite regular spectrum of the matrix and the corresponding vectors are presented.

Quantum duality in quantum deformations

In accordance with the quantum duality principle, the twisted algebra is equivalent to the quantum group and has two preferred bases: one inherited from the universal enveloping algebra and the other generated by coordinate functions of the dual Lie group . We show howthe transformation can be explicitly obtained for any simple Lie algebra and a factorable chain of extended Jordanian twists. In the algebra , we introduce a natural vector grading , compatible with the adjoint representation of the algebra. Passing to the dual-group coordinates allows essentially simplifying the costructure of the deformed Hopf algebra , considered as a quantum group . The transformation can be used to construct new solutions of the twist equations. We construct a parameterized family of extended Jordanian deformations and study it in terms of ; we find new realizations of the parabolic twist.

Generalized (anti) Yetter-Drinfeld modules as components of a braided T-category

If H is a Hopf algebra with bijective antipode and α, β ∈ Aut _Hopf (H), we introduce a category , generalizing both Yetter-Drinfeld modules and anti-Yetter-Drinfeld modules. We construct a braided T-category having all the categories as components, which, if H is finite dimensional, coincides with the representations of a certain quasitriangular T-coalgebra DT(H) that we construct. We also prove that if (α, β) admits a so-called pair in involution, then is isomorphic to the category of usual Yetter-Drinfeld modules .

On soft mappings of the unit ball of Borel measures

The main result of this paper consists of two theorems. One of them asserts that the functor U _τ takes the 0-soft mappings between spaces of weight ≤ω ₁ and Polish spaces to soft mappings. The other theorem, which is a corollary of the first one, asserts that the functor U _τ takes the AE(0)-spaces of weight ≤ω ₁ to AE-spaces. These theorems are proved under Martin’s axiom MA(ω ₁). The results cannot be extended to spaces of weight ≥ω ₂. For spaces of weight ω ₁, these results cannot be obtained without additional set-theoretic assumptions. Thus, the question as to whether the space is an absolute extensor cannot be answered in ZFC. The main result cannot be transferred to the functor U _R of the unit ball of Radon measures. Indeed, the space is not real-compact and, therefore, . __________ Translated from Fundamentalnaya i Prikladnaya Matematika, Vol. 9, No. 4, pp. 41–54, 2003.

It is shown that for every isometry f in a pseudo MV-algebra = (A, ⊕, ⁻, ^∼, 0, 1) there exists an internal direct decomposition of with commutative such that and for each x ∈ A. On the other hand, if is an internal direct decomposition of a pseudo MV-algebra = (A, ⊕, ⁻, ^∼, 0, 1) with commutative, then the mapping g: A → A defined by is an isometry in and .      

Topological and metric product\mathbb{Z}^d -actions and their applications-actions and their applications

We show that for a -action Ψ being the Kronecker sum of a symbolic strictly ergodic -actionT and a Chacon -actionS, the rank (covering number) of Ψ is the same as that forT. Using this result we construct, for a given natural numberr≥2 and a real numberb∈(0,1) withr\b≥1, a -action with rankr, covering numberb and a simple spectrum. On the other hand, for any positive integersr, m with 1≤m≤r≤∞ we construct a -action with rankr and spectral multiplicitym.
