On convergence of iterates of the Frobenius-Perron operator for expanding mappings
A review of known decompositions of pairs of isometries is given. A new, finer decomposition and its properties are presented.
We discuss some results about derivations and crossed homomorphisms arising in the context of locally compact groups and their group algebras, in particular, L¹(G), the von Neumann algebra VN(G) and actions of G on related algebras. We answer a question of Dales, Ghahramani, Grønbæk, showing that L¹(G) is always permanently weakly amenable. Then we show that for some classes of groups (e.g. IN-groups) the homology of L¹(G) with coefficients in VN(G) is trivial. But this is no longer true, in general,...
Two simple methods for approximate determination of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of linear self-adjoint operators are considered in the following two cases: (i) lower-upper bound of the spectrum of is an isolated point of ; (ii) (not necessarily an isolated point of with finite multiplicity) is an eigenvalue of .
