Some model theory of SL(2,ℝ)

Jakub Gismatullin, Davide Penazzi, Anand Pillay (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study the action of G = SL(2,ℝ), viewed as a group definable in the structure M = (ℝ,+,×), on its type space $S_{G} (M)$ . We identify a minimal closed G-flow I and an idempotent r ∈ I (with respect to the Ellis semigroup structure * on $S_{G} (M)$ ). We also show that the “Ellis group” (r*I,*) is nontrivial, in fact it is the group with two elements, yielding a negative answer to a question of Newelski.

Ordinal remainders of classical ψ-spaces

Alan Dow, Jerry E. Vaughan (2012)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let ω denote the set of natural numbers. We prove: for every mod-finite ascending chain $T_{α} : α < λ$ of infinite subsets of ω, there exists $ℳ \subset {[ω]}^{ω}$ , an infinite maximal almost disjoint family (MADF) of infinite subsets of the natural numbers, such that the Stone-Čech remainder βψ∖ψ of the associated ψ-space, ψ = ψ(ω,ℳ ), is homeomorphic to λ + 1 with the order topology. We also prove that for every λ < ⁺, where is the tower number, there exists a mod-finite ascending chain $T_{α} : α < λ$ , hence a ψ-space with...

On the K-theory of the $C^{*}$ -algebra generated by the left regular representation of an Ore semigroup

Joachim Cuntz, Siegfried Echterhoff, Xin Li (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We compute the $K$ -theory of $C^{*}$ -algebras generated by the left regular representation of left Ore semigroups satisfying certain regularity conditions. Our result describes the $K$ -theory of these semigroup $C^{*}$ -algebras in terms of the $K$ -theory for the reduced group $C^{*}$ -algebras of certain groups which are typically easier to handle. Then we apply our result to specific semigroups from algebraic number theory.

Fundamental relation onm-idempotent hyperrings

Morteza Norouzi, Irina Cristea (2017)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

The γ*-relation defined on a general hyperring R is the smallest strongly regular relation such that the quotient R/γ* is a ring. In this note we consider a particular class of hyperrings, where we define a new equivalence, called [...] εm∗ $ε_{m}^{*}$ , smaller than γ* and we prove it is the smallest strongly regular relation on such hyperrings such that the quotient R/ [...] εm∗ $ε_{m}^{*}$ is a ring. Moreover, we introduce the concept of m-idempotent hyperrings, show that they are a characterization for...

The algebra of the subspace semigroup of $M ₂ (_{q})$

Jan Okniński (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

The semigroup $S = S (M ₂ (_{q}))$ of subspaces of the algebra $M ₂ (_{q})$ of 2 × 2 matrices over a finite field $_{q}$ is studied. The ideal structure of S, the regular -classes of S and the structure of the complex semigroup algebra ℂ[S] are described.

On semigroups with an infinitesimal operator

Jolanta Olko (2005)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let $F^{t} : t \geq 0$ be an iteration semigroup of linear continuous set-valued functions. If the semigroup has an infinitesimal operator then it is a uniformly continuous semigroup majorized by an exponential semigroup. Moreover, for sufficiently small t every linear selection of $F^{t}$ is invertible and there exists an exponential semigroup $f^{t} : t \geq 0$ of linear continuous selections $f^{t}$ of $F^{t}$ .

Convergence of orthogonal series of projections in Banach spaces

Ryszard Jajte, Adam Paszkiewicz (1997)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

For a sequence $(A_{j})$ of mutually orthogonal projections in a Banach space, we discuss all possible limits of the sums $S_{n} = \sum_{j = 1}^{n} A_{j}$ in a “strong” sense. Those limits turn out to be some special idempotent operators (unbounded, in general). In the case of X = L₂(Ω,μ), an arbitrary unbounded closed and densely defined operator A in X may be the μ-almost sure limit of $S_{n}$ (i.e. $S_{n} f \to A f$ μ-a.e. for all f ∈ (A)).

Topologies on groups determined by right cancellable ultrafilters

Igor V. Protasov (2009)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

For every discrete group $G$ , the Stone-Čech compactification $β G$ of $G$ has a natural structure of a compact right topological semigroup. An ultrafilter $p \in G^{*}$ , where $G^{*} = β G ∖ G$ , is called right cancellable if, given any $q, r \in G^{*}$ , $q p = r p$ implies $q = r$ . For every right cancellable ultrafilter $p \in G^{*}$ , we denote by $G (p)$ the group $G$ endowed with the strongest left invariant topology in which $p$ converges to the identity of $G$ . For any countable group $G$ and any right cancellable ultrafilters $p, q \in G^{*}$ , we show that $G (p)$ is homeomorphic to $G (q)$ if...

Algebra in the superextensions of twinic groups

Taras Banakh, Volodymyr Gavrylkiv

Similarity:

Given a group X we study the algebraic structure of the compact right-topological semigroup λ(X) consisting of all maximal linked systems on X. This semigroup contains the semigroup β(X) of ultrafilters as a closed subsemigroup. We construct a faithful representation of the semigroup λ(X) in the semigroup ${(X)}^{(X)}$ of all self-maps of the power-set (X) and show that the image of λ(X) in ${(X)}^{(X)}$ coincides with the semigroup $E n d_{λ} ((X))$ of all functions f: (X) → (X) that are equivariant, monotone and symmetric...

A local Landau type inequality for semigroup orbits

Gerd Herzog, Peer Christian Kunstmann (2014)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Given a strongly continuous semigroup ${(S (t))}_{t \geq 0}$ on a Banach space X with generator A and an element f ∈ D(A²) satisfying $| | S (t) f | | \leq e^{- ω t} | | f | |$ and $| | S (t) A ² f | | \leq e^{- ω t} | | A ² f | |$ for all t ≥ 0 and some ω > 0, we derive a Landau type inequality for ||Af|| in terms of ||f|| and ||A²f||. This inequality improves on the usual Landau inequality that holds in the case ω = 0.

On the central limit theorem for some birth and death processes

Tymoteusz Chojecki (2011)

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, sectio A – Mathematica

Similarity:

Suppose that ${X n : n \geq 0}$ is a stationary Markov chain and $V$ is a certain function on a phase space of the chain, called an observable. We say that the observable satisfies the central limit theorem (CLT) if $Y_{n} : = N^{- 1 / 2} \sum_{n = 0}^{N} V (X_{n})$ converge in law to a normal random variable, as $N \to + \infty$ . For a stationary Markov chain with the $L^{2}$ spectral gap the theorem holds for all $V$ such that $V (X_{0})$ is centered and square integrable, see Gordin [7]. The purpose of this article is to characterize a family of observables $V$ for which the CLT holds...

Spaces with star countable extent

A. D. Rojas-Sánchez, Angel Tamariz-Mascarúa (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

For a topological property $P$ , we say that a space $X$ is star $P$ if for every open cover $𝒰$ of the space $X$ there exists $A \subset X$ such that $s t (A, 𝒰) = X$ . We consider space with star countable extent establishing the relations between the star countable extent property and the properties star Lindelöf and feebly Lindelöf. We describe some classes of spaces in which the star countable extent property is equivalent to either the Lindelöf property or separability. An example is given of a Tychonoff star Lindelöf...

On upper triangular nonnegative matrices

Yizhi Chen, Xian Zhong Zhao, Zhongzhu Liu (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We first investigate factorizations of elements of the semigroup $S$ of upper triangular matrices with nonnegative entries and nonzero determinant, provide a formula for $ρ (S)$ , and, given $A \in S$ , also provide formulas for $l (A)$ , $L (A)$ and $ρ (A)$ . As a consequence, open problem 2 and problem 4 presented in N. Baeth et al. (2011), are partly answered. Secondly, we study the semigroup of upper triangular matrices with only positive integral entries, compute some invariants of such semigroup, and also partly answer...

A solution to Comfort's question on the countable compactness of powers of a topological group

Artur Hideyuki Tomita (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

In 1990, Comfort asked Question 477 in the survey book “Open Problems in Topology”: Is there, for every (not necessarily infinite) cardinal number $α \leq 2^{}$ , a topological group G such that $G^{γ}$ is countably compact for all cardinals γ < α, but $G^{α}$ is not countably compact? Hart and van Mill showed in 1991 that α = 2 answers this question affirmatively under $M A_{c o u n t a b l e}$ . Recently, Tomita showed that every finite cardinal answers Comfort’s question in the affirmative, also from $M A_{c o u n t a b l e}$ . However, the question has...

Submultiplicative functions and operator inequalities

Hermann König, Vitali Milman (2014)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let T: C¹(ℝ) → C(ℝ) be an operator satisfying the “chain rule inequality” T(f∘g) ≤ (Tf)∘g⋅Tg, f,g ∈ C¹(ℝ). Imposing a weak continuity and a non-degeneracy condition on T, we determine the form of all maps T satisfying this inequality together with T(-Id)(0) < 0. They have the form Tf = ⎧ $(H \circ f / H) f^{' p}$ , f’ ≥ 0, ⎨ ⎩ $- A (H \circ f / H) | f^{'} |^{p}$ , f’ < 0, with p > 0, H ∈ C(ℝ), A ≥ 1. For A = 1, these are just the solutions of the chain rule operator equation. To prove this, we characterize the submultiplicative, measurable...

Geometry of oblique projections

E. Andruchow, Gustavo Corach, D. Stojanoff (1999)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let A be a unital C*-algebra. Denote by P the space of selfadjoint projections of A. We study the relationship between P and the spaces of projections $P_{a}$ determined by the different involutions $_{a}$ induced by positive invertible elements a ∈ A. The maps $φ : P \to P_{a}$ sending p to the unique $q \in P_{a}$ with the same range as p and $Ω_{a} : P_{a} \to P_{a}$ sending q to the unitary part of the polar decomposition of the symmetry 2q-1 are shown to be diffeomorphisms. We characterize the pairs of idempotents q,r ∈ A with ||q-r|| <...

Similarity:

Let I = [0, 1] be the compact topological semigroup with max multiplication and usual topology. C(I), $L^{p} (I)$ , 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, are the associated Banach algebras. The aim of the paper is to characterise $H o m_{C (I)} (L^{r} (I), L^{p} (I))$ and their preduals.

Combinatorics of open covers (VII): Groupability

Ljubiša D. R. Kočinac, Marion Scheepers (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We use Ramseyan partition relations to characterize: ∙ the classical covering property of Hurewicz; ∙ the covering property of Gerlits and Nagy; ∙ the combinatorial cardinal numbers and add(ℳ ). Let X be a $T_{31 / 2}$ -space. In [9] we showed that $C_{p} (X)$ has countable strong fan tightness as well as the Reznichenko property if, and only if, all finite powers of X have the Gerlits-Nagy covering property. Now we show that the following are equivalent: 1. $C_{p} (X)$ has countable fan tightness and the Reznichenko...

Operator theoretic properties of semigroups in terms of their generators

S. Blunck, L. Weis (2001)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let $(T_{t})$ be a C₀ semigroup with generator A on a Banach space X and let be an operator ideal, e.g. the class of compact, Hilbert-Schmidt or trace class operators. We show that the resolvent R(λ,A) of A belongs to if and only if the integrated semigroup $S_{t} : = \int_{0}^{t} T_{s} d s$ belongs to . For analytic semigroups, $S_{t} \in$ implies $T_{t} \in$ , and in this case we give precise estimates for the growth of the -norm of $T_{t}$ (e.g. the trace of $T_{t}$ ) in terms of the resolvent growth and the imbedding D(A) ↪ X.

Decidability and definability results related to the elementary theory of ordinal multiplication

Alexis Bès (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The elementary theory of ⟨α;×⟩, where α is an ordinal and × denotes ordinal multiplication, is decidable if and only if $α < ω^{ω}$ . Moreover if $|_{r}$ and $|_{l}$ respectively denote the right- and left-hand divisibility relation, we show that Th $⟨ ω^{ω^{ξ}} {; |}_{r} ⟩$ and Th $⟨ ω^{ξ} {; |}_{l} ⟩$ are decidable for every ordinal ξ. Further related definability results are also presented.

Inverses of generators of nonanalytic semigroups

Ralph deLaubenfels (2009)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Suppose A is an injective linear operator on a Banach space that generates a uniformly bounded strongly continuous semigroup ${e^{t A}}_{t \geq 0}$ . It is shown that $A^{- 1}$ generates an $O (1 + τ) A {(1 - A)}^{- 1}$ -regularized semigroup. Several equivalences for $A^{- 1}$ generating a strongly continuous semigroup are given. These are used to generate sufficient conditions on the growth of ${e^{t A}}_{t \geq 0}$ , on subspaces, for $A^{- 1}$ generating a strongly continuous semigroup, and to show that the inverse of -d/dx on the closure of its image in L¹([0,∞)) does not generate...

Cardinalities of DCCC normal spaces with a rank 2-diagonal

Wei-Feng Xuan, Wei-Xue Shi (2016)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

A topological space $X$ has a rank 2-diagonal if there exists a diagonal sequence on $X$ of rank $2$ , that is, there is a countable family ${𝒰_{n} : n \in ω}$ of open covers of $X$ such that for each $x \in X$ , ${x} = ⋂ {{St}^{2} (x, 𝒰_{n}) : n \in ω}$ . We say that a space $X$ satisfies the Discrete Countable Chain Condition (DCCC for short) if every discrete family of nonempty open subsets of $X$ is countable. We mainly prove that if $X$ is a DCCC normal space with a rank 2-diagonal, then the cardinality of $X$ is at most $𝔠$ . Moreover, we prove that if $X$ is a first...

Ordinal indices and Ramsey dichotomies measuring c₀-content and semibounded completeness

Vassiliki Farmaki (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study the c₀-content of a seminormalized basic sequence (χₙ) in a Banach space, by the use of ordinal indices (taking values up to ω₁) that determine dichotomies at every ordinal stage, based on the Ramsey-type principle for every countable ordinal, obtained earlier by the author. We introduce two such indices, the c₀-index $ξ^{(χ ₙ)} ₀$ and the semibounded completeness index $ξ_{b}^{(χ ₙ)}$ , and we examine their relationship. The countable ordinal values that these indices can take are always of the form...
