Homomorphisms of commutative Banach algebras and extensions to multiplier algebras with applications to Fourier algebras

E. Kaniuth, A. T. Lau, A. Ülger (2007)

Studia Mathematica

Let A and B be semisimple commutative Banach algebras with bounded approximate identities. We investigate the problem of extending a homomorphism φ: A → B to a homomorphism of the multiplier algebras M(A) and M(B) of A and B, respectively. Various sufficient conditions in terms of B (or B and φ) are given that allow the construction of such extensions. We exhibit a number of classes of Banach algebras to which these criteria apply. In addition, we prove a polar decomposition for homomorphisms from...

Homomorphisms on algebras of Lipschitz functions

Fernanda Botelho, James Jamison (2010)

Studia Mathematica

We characterize a class of *-homomorphisms on Lip⁎(X,𝓑(𝓗 )), a non-commutative Banach *-algebra of Lipschitz functions on a compact metric space and with values in 𝓑(𝓗 ). We show that the zero map is the only multiplicative *-preserving linear functional on Lip⁎(X,𝓑(𝓗 )). We also establish the algebraic reflexivity property of a class of *-isomorphisms on Lip⁎(X,𝓑(𝓗 )).

Homotonic algebras

Michael Cwikel, Moshe Goldberg (2009)

Studia Mathematica

An algebra 𝓐 of real- or complex-valued functions defined on a set T shall be called homotonic if 𝓐 is closed under taking absolute values, and for all f and g in 𝓐, the product f × g satisfies |f × g| ≤ |f| × |g|. Our main purpose in this paper is two-fold: to show that the above definition is equivalent to an earlier definition of homotonicity, and to provide a simple inequality which characterizes submultiplicativity and strong stability for weighted sup norms on homotonic algebras.

Homotopy invariance of higher signatures and 3 -manifold groups

Michel Matthey, Hervé Oyono-Oyono, Wolfgang Pitsch (2008)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

For closed oriented manifolds, we establish oriented homotopy invariance of higher signatures that come from the fundamental group of a large class of orientable 3 -manifolds, including the “piecewise geometric” ones in the sense of Thurston. In particular, this class, that will be carefully described, is the class of all orientable 3 -manifolds if the Thurston Geometrization Conjecture is true. In fact, for this type of groups, we show that the Baum-Connes Conjecture With Coefficients holds. The...

Hopf algebras of smooth functions on compact Lie groups

Eva C. Farkas (2000)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A C -Hopf algebra is a C -algebra which is also a convenient Hopf algebra with respect to the structure induced by the evaluations of smooth functions. We characterize those C -Hopf algebras which are given by the algebra C ( G ) of smooth functions on some compact Lie group G , thus obtaining an anti-isomorphism of the category of compact Lie groups with a subcategory of convenient Hopf algebras.

Hopf Extension Theorem of Measure

Noboru Endou, Hiroyuki Okazaki, Yasunari Shidama (2009)

Formalized Mathematics

The authors have presented some articles about Lebesgue type integration theory. In our previous articles [12, 13, 26], we assumed that some σ-additive measure existed and that a function was measurable on that measure. However the existence of such a measure is not trivial. In general, because the construction of a finite additive measure is comparatively easy, to induce a σ-additive measure a finite additive measure is used. This is known as an E. Hopf's extension theorem of measure [15].

How far is C₀(Γ,X) with Γ discrete from C₀(K,X) spaces?

Leandro Candido, Elói Medina Galego (2012)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

For a locally compact Hausdorff space K and a Banach space X we denote by C₀(K,X) the space of X-valued continuous functions on K which vanish at infinity, provided with the supremum norm. Let n be a positive integer, Γ an infinite set with the discrete topology, and X a Banach space having non-trivial cotype. We first prove that if the nth derived set of K is not empty, then the Banach-Mazur distance between C₀(Γ,X) and C₀(K,X) is greater than or equal to 2n + 1. We also show that the Banach-Mazur...

How far is C(ω) from the other C(K) spaces?

Leandro Candido, Elói Medina Galego (2013)

Studia Mathematica

Let us denote by C(α) the classical Banach space C(K) when K is the interval of ordinals [1,α] endowed with the order topology. In the present paper, we give an answer to a 1960 Bessaga and Pełczyński question by providing tight bounds for the Banach-Mazur distance between C(ω) and any other C(K) space which is isomorphic to it. More precisely, we obtain lower bounds L(n,k) and upper bounds U(n,k) on d(C(ω),C(ωⁿk)) such that U(n,k) - L(n,k) < 2 for all 1 ≤ n, k < ω.

How smooth is almost every function in a Sobolev space?

Aurélia Fraysse, Stéphane Jaffard (2006)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We show that almost every function (in the sense of prevalence) in a Sobolev space is multifractal: Its regularity changes from point to point; the sets of points with a given Hölder regularity are fractal sets, and we determine their Hausdorff dimension.
