Let $𝔐$ and $\Re$ be algebras of subsets of a set $\Omega$ with $𝔐\subset \Re$, and denote by $E\left(\mu \right)$ the set of all quasi-measure extensions of a given quasi-measure $\mu$ on $𝔐$ to $\Re$. We give some criteria for order boundedness of $E\left(\mu \right)$ in $ba\left(\Re \right)$, in the general case as well as for atomic $\mu$. Order boundedness implies weak compactness of $E\left(\mu \right)$. We show that the converse implication holds under some assumptions on $𝔐$, $\Re$ and $\mu$ or $\mu$ alone, but not in general.

The aim of this paper is to introduce a generalization of the classical absolute continuity to a relative case, with respect to a subset $M$ of an interval $I$. This generalization is based on adding more requirements to disjoint systems ${\left\{(a_k,b_k)\right\}}_K$ from the classical definition of absolute continuity – these systems should be not too far from $M$ and should be small relative to some covers of $M$. We discuss basic properties of relative absolutely continuous functions and compare this class with other...

Let $\mathscr{H}$ be a complex Hilbert space, $A$ a positive operator with closed range in $ℬ\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ and ${ℬ}_A\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ the sub-algebra of $ℬ\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ of all $A$-self-adjoint operators. Assume $\phi :{ℬ}_A\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ onto itself is a linear continuous map. This paper shows that if $\phi$ preserves $A$-unitary operators such that $\phi \left(I\right)=P$ then $\psi$ defined by $\psi \left(T\right)=P\phi \left(PT\right)$ is a homomorphism or an anti-homomorphism and $\psi \left(T^{♯}\right)=\psi {\left(T\right)}^{♯}$ for all $T\in {ℬ}_A\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$, where $P=A^{+}A$ and $A^{+}$ is the Moore-Penrose inverse of $A$. A similar result is also true if $\phi$ preserves $A$-quasi-unitary operators in both directions such that there...

A famous theorem of Carleson says that, given any function $f\in L^p\left(𝕋\right)$, $p\in (1,+\infty )$, its Fourier series $\left(S_{n}f\left(x\right)\right)$ converges for almost every $x\in 𝕋$. Beside this property, the series may diverge at some point, without exceeding $O\left(n^{1/p}\right)$. We define the divergence index at $x$ as the infimum of the positive real numbers $\beta$ such that $S_{n}f\left(x\right)=O\left(n^{\beta }\right)$ and we are interested in the size of the exceptional sets $E_{\beta }$, namely the sets of $x\in 𝕋$ with divergence index equal to $\beta$. We show that quasi-all functions in $L^p\left(𝕋\right)$ have a multifractal behavior with respect to...

Given a coarse space $(X,ℰ)$ with the bornology $ℬ$ of bounded subsets, we extend the coarse structure $ℰ$ from $X\times X$ to the natural coarse structure on $(ℬ\setminus \{\varnothing \left\}\right)\times (ℬ\setminus \{\varnothing \left\}\right)$ and say that a macro-uniform mapping $f:(ℬ\setminus \{\varnothing \left\}\right)\to X$ (or $f:{\left[X\right]}^2\to X$) is a selector (or 2-selector) of $(X,ℰ)$ if $f\left(A\right)\in A$ for each $A\in ℬ\setminus \left\{\varnothing \right\}$ ($A\in {\left[X\right]}^2$, respectively). We prove that a discrete coarse space $(X,ℰ)$ admits a selector if and only if $(X,ℰ)$ admits a 2-selector if and only if there exists a linear order “$\le$" on $X$ such that the family of intervals $\left\{\right[a,b]:a,b\in X,a\le b\}$ is a base for the bornology $ℬ$.

We show that every operator from ${\ell }_s$ to ${\ell }_p\otimes ̂{\ell }_q$ is compact when 1 ≤ p,q < s and that every operator from ${\ell }_s$ to ${\ell }_p\widehat{\otimes ̂}{\ell }_q$ is compact when 1/p + 1/q > 1 + 1/s.

Let M be a metrizable group. Let G be a dense subgroup of $M^X$. We prove that if G is domain representable, then $G=M^X$. The following corollaries answer open questions. If X is completely regular and $C_p\left(X\right)$ is domain representable, then X is discrete. If X is zero-dimensional, T₂, and $C_p(X,)$ is subcompact, then X is discrete.

Let $L\left(H\right)$ denote the algebra of operators on a complex infinite dimensional Hilbert space $H$. For $A,B\in L\left(H\right)$, the generalized derivation ${\delta }_{A,B}$ and the elementary operator ${\Delta }_{A,B}$ are defined by ${\delta }_{A,B}\left(X\right)=AX-XB$ and ${\Delta }_{A,B}\left(X\right)=AXB-X$ for all $X\in L\left(H\right)$. In this paper, we exhibit pairs $(A,B)$ of operators such that the range-kernel orthogonality of ${\delta }_{A,B}$ holds for the usual operator norm. We generalize some recent results. We also establish some theorems on the orthogonality of the range and the kernel of ${\Delta }_{A,B}$ with respect to the wider class of unitarily invariant...

Let ${\alpha }_i,{\beta }_i>0$, 1 ≤ i ≤ n, and for t > 0 and x = (x₁,...,xₙ) ∈ ℝⁿ, let $t•x=(t^{\alpha ₁}x₁,...,t^{\alpha ₙ}xₙ)$, $t\circ x=(t^{\beta ₁}x₁,...,t^{\beta ₙ}xₙ)$ and $\left|\right|x\left|\right|={\sum }_{i=1}^n{\left|x_i\right|}^{1/{\alpha }_i}$. Let φ₁,...,φₙ be real functions in $C^{\infty }(ℝⁿ-0)$ such that φ = (φ₁,..., φₙ) satisfies φ(t • x) = t ∘ φ(x). Let γ > 0 and let μ be the Borel measure on ${ℝ}^{2n}$ given by $\mu \left(E\right)={\int }_{ℝⁿ}{\chi }_E{(x,\phi \left(x\right))\left|\right|x\left|\right|}^{\gamma -\alpha }dx$, where $\alpha ={\sum }_{i=1}^n{\alpha }_i$ and dx denotes the Lebesgue measure on ℝⁿ. Let $T_{\mu }f=\mu \ast f$ and let $\left|\right|T_{\mu }{\left|\right|}_{p,q}$ be the operator norm of $T_{\mu }$ from $L^p\left({ℝ}^{2n}\right)$ into $L^q\left({ℝ}^{2n}\right)$, where the $L^p$ spaces are taken with respect to the Lebesgue measure. The type set $E_{\mu }$ is defined by $E_{\mu }=(1/p,1/q):\left|\right|T_{\mu }{\left|\right|}_{p,q}<\infty ,1\le p,q\le \infty$. In the case ${\alpha }_i\ne {\beta }_k$ for 1 ≤ i,k ≤ n we characterize the...

Let $X$ be the Tychonoff product ${\prod }_{\alpha <\tau }{X}_{\alpha }$ of $\tau$-many Tychonoff non-single point spaces $X_{\alpha }$. Let $p\in X^{*}$ be a point in the closure of some $G\subset X$ whose weak Lindelöf number is strictly less than the cofinality of $\tau$. Then we show that $\beta X\setminus \left\{p\right\}$ is not normal. Under some additional assumptions, $p$ is a butterfly-point in $\beta X$. In particular, this is true if either $X={\omega }^{\tau }$ or $X=R^{\tau }$ and $\tau$ is infinite and not countably cofinal.

Let $X$ be a Baire space, $Y$ be a compact Hausdorff space and $\varphi :X\to C_p\left(Y\right)$ be a quasi-continuous mapping. For a proximal subset $H$ of $Y\times Y$ we will use topological games ${𝒢}_1\left(H\right)$ and ${𝒢}_2\left(H\right)$ on $Y\times Y$ between two players to prove that if the first player has a winning strategy in these games, then $\varphi$ is norm continuous on a dense $G_{\delta }$ subset of $X$. It follows that if $Y$ is Valdivia compact, each quasi-continuous mapping from a Baire space $X$ to $C_p\left(Y\right)$ is norm continuous on a dense $G_{\delta }$ subset of $X$.
