Componentwise and Cartesian decompositions of linear relations

S. Hassi, H. S. V. de Snoo, F. H. Szafraniec

Similarity:

Let A be a, not necessarily closed, linear relation in a Hilbert space ℌ with a multivalued part mul A. An operator B in ℌ with ran B ⊥ mul A** is said to be an operator part of A when A = B +̂ ({0} × mul A), where the sum is componentwise (i.e. span of the graphs). This decomposition provides a counterpart and an extension for the notion of closability of (unbounded) operators to the setting of linear relations. Existence and uniqueness criteria for an operator part are established...

Shrinking of toroidal decomposition spaces

Daniel Kasprowski, Mark Powell (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Given a sequence of oriented links L¹,L²,L³,... each of which has a distinguished, unknotted component, there is a decomposition space 𝓓 of S³ naturally associated to it, which is constructed as the components of the intersection of an infinite sequence of nested solid tori. The Bing and Whitehead continua are simple, well known examples. We give a necessary and sufficient criterion to determine whether 𝓓 is shrinkable, generalising previous work of F. Ancel and M. Starbird and others....
