We consider simultaneous solutions of operator Sylvester equations $A_{i}X-X{B}_i=C_i$ (1 ≤ i ≤ k), where $(A₁,...,A_k)$ and $(B₁,...,B_k)$ are commuting k-tuples of bounded linear operators on Banach spaces and ℱ, respectively, and $(C₁,...,C_k)$ is a (compatible) k-tuple of bounded linear operators from ℱ to , and prove that if the joint Taylor spectra of $(A₁,...,A_k)$ and $(B₁,...,B_k)$ do not intersect, then this system of Sylvester equations has a unique simultaneous solution.

Let $\varphi$ be a substitution of Pisot type on the alphabet $𝒜=\{1,2,...,d\}$; $\varphi$ satisfies theif for every $i,j\in 𝒜$, there are integers $k,n$ such that ${\varphi }^n\left(i\right)$ and ${\varphi }^n\left(j\right)$ have the same $k$-th letter, and the prefixes of length $k-1$ of ${\varphi }^n\left(i\right)$ and ${\varphi }^n\left(j\right)$ have the same image under the abelianization map. We prove that the strong coincidence condition is satisfied if $d=2$ and provide a partial result for $d\ge 2$.

We study the stability of a-Browder-type theorems for orthogonal direct sums of operators. We give counterexamples which show that in general the properties $\left(\mathrm{SBaw}\right)$, $\left(\mathrm{SBab}\right)$, $\left(\mathrm{SBw}\right)$ and $\left(\mathrm{SBb}\right)$ are not preserved under direct sums of operators. However, we prove that if $S$ and $T$ are bounded linear operators acting on Banach spaces and having the property $\left(\mathrm{SBab}\right)$, then $S\oplus T$ has the property $\left(\mathrm{SBab}\right)$ if and only if ${\sigma }_{{\mathrm{SBF}}_{+}^{-}}(S\oplus T)={\sigma }_{{\mathrm{SBF}}_{+}^{-}}\left(S\right)\cup {\sigma }_{{\mathrm{SBF}}_{+}^{-}}\left(T\right)$, where ${\sigma }_{{\mathrm{SBF}}_{+}^{-}}\left(T\right)$ is the upper semi-B-Weyl spectrum of $T$. We obtain analogous preservation results for the properties $\left(\mathrm{SBaw}\right)$,...

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $𝕜$ of characteristic 0, and $𝔤=LieG$. Let $(e,h,f)$ be an $𝔰{𝔩}_2$-triple in $𝔤$ with $e$ being a long root vector in $𝔤$. Let $(·,·)$ be the $G$-invariant bilinear form on $𝔤$ with $(e,f)=1$ and let $\chi \in {𝔤}^{*}$ be such that $\chi \left(x\right)=(e,x)$ for all $x\in 𝔤$. Let $𝒮$ be the Slodowy slice at $e$ through the adjoint orbit of $e$ and let $H$ be the enveloping algebra of $𝒮$; see [31]. In this article we give an explicit presentation of $H$ by generators and relations. As a consequence we deduce that $H$ contains...

We prove that if $X$ is a first countable space with property $\left(DC\left({\omega }_1\right)\right)$ and with a $G_{\delta }$-diagonal then the cardinality of $X$ is at most $𝔠$. We also show that if $X$ is a first countable, DCCC, normal space then the extent of $X$ is at most $𝔠$.

For a linear operator T in a Banach space let ${\sigma }_p\left(T\right)$ denote the point spectrum of T, let ${\sigma }_{p,n}\left(T\right)$ for finite n > 0 be the set of all $\lambda \in {\sigma }_p\left(T\right)$ such that dim ker(T - λ) = n and let ${\sigma }_{p,\infty }\left(T\right)$ be the set of all $\lambda \in {\sigma }_p\left(T\right)$ for which ker(T - λ) is infinite-dimensional. It is shown that ${\sigma }_p\left(T\right)$ is ${ℱ}_{\sigma }$, ${\sigma }_{p,\infty }\left(T\right)$ is ${ℱ}_{\sigma \delta }$ and for each finite n the set ${\sigma }_{p,n}\left(T\right)$ is the intersection of an ${ℱ}_{\sigma }$ set and a ${}_{\delta }$ set provided T is closable and the domain of T is separable and weakly σ-compact. For closed densely defined operators in a separable Hilbert space a more...

The symbol ${\left(X_I\right)}_{\kappa }$ (with κ ≥ ω) denotes the space $X_I:={\prod }_{i\in I}{X}_i$ with the κ-box topology; this has as base all sets of the form $U={\prod }_{i\in I}{U}_i$ with $U_i$ open in $X_i$ and with $|i\in I:U_i\ne X_i|<\kappa$. The symbols w, d and S denote respectively the weight, density character and Suslin number. Generalizing familiar classical results, the authors show inter alia: Theorem 3.1.10(b). If κ ≤ α⁺, |I| = α and each $X_i$ contains the discrete space 0,1 and satisfies $w\left(X_i\right)\le \alpha$, then $w\left(X_{\kappa }\right)={\alpha }^{<\kappa }$. Theorem 4.3.2. If $\omega \le \kappa \le \left|I\right|\le 2^{\alpha }$ and $X={\left(D\left(\alpha \right)\right)}^I$ with D(α) discrete, |D(α)| = α, then $d\left({\left(X_I\right)}_{\kappa }\right)={\alpha }^{<\kappa }$.

Let a space $X$ be Tychonoff product ${\prod }_{\alpha <\tau }{X}_{\alpha }$ of $\tau$-many Tychonoff nonsingle point spaces $X_{\alpha }$. Let Suslin number of $X$ be strictly less than the cofinality of $\tau$. Then we show that every point of remainder is a non-normality point of its Čech–Stone compactification $\beta X$. In particular, this is true if $X$ is either $R^{\tau }$ or ${\omega }^{\tau }$ and a cardinal $\tau$ is infinite and not countably cofinal.

Let $D$ be a ${𝒞}^d$ $q$-convex intersection, $d\ge 2$, $0\le q\le n-1$, in a complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$, $n\ge 2$, and let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank $N$ over $X$. In this paper, ${𝒞}^k$-estimates, $k=2,3,\cdots ,\infty$, for solutions to the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with small loss of smoothness are obtained for $E$-valued $(0,s)$-forms on $D$ when $n-q\le s\le n$. In addition, we solve the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with a support condition in ${𝒞}^k$-spaces. More precisely, we prove that for a $\overline{\partial }$-closed form $f$ in ${𝒞}_{0,q}^k(X\setminus D,E)$, $1\le q\le n-2$, $n\ge 3$, with compact support and for $\epsilon$ with $0<\epsilon <1$ there...

We investigate the question whether a system ${\left(E_i\right)}_{i\in I}$ of homogeneous linear equations over $\mathbb{Z}$ is non-trivially solvable in $\mathbb{Z}$ provided that each subsystem ${\left(E_j\right)}_{j\in J}$ with $\left|J\right|\le c$ is non-trivially solvable in $\mathbb{Z}$ where $c$ is a fixed cardinal number such that $c<\left|I\right|$. Among other results, we establish the following. (a) The answer is ‘No’ in the finite case (i.e., $I$ being finite). (b) The answer is ‘No’ in the denumerable case (i.e., $\left|I\right|={\aleph }_0$ and $c$ a natural number). (c) The answer in case that $I$ is uncountable and $c\le {\aleph }_0$ is ‘No...

In this paper we prove the following theorems in incidence geometry. 1. There is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le n^{(1+\delta )/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$ are collinear. If the number of the distinct lines is $<c{n}^{1/2}$ then the cross ratio of the four points is algebraic. 2. Given $c>0$, there is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,P_2,P_3\in {ℂ}^2$ noncollinear, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le c{n}^{1/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then for any $P\in {ℂ}^2\setminus \{P_1,P_2,P_3\}$, we have $\delta n$ distinct lines between $P$ and $Q_j$. 3.

Let $X$ be a zero-dimensional space and $C_c\left(X\right)$ be the set of all continuous real valued functions on $X$ with countable image. In this article we denote by $C_c^K\left(X\right)$ (resp., $C_c^{\psi }\left(X\right))$ the set of all functions in $C_c\left(X\right)$ with compact (resp., pseudocompact) support. First, we observe that $C_c^K\left(X\right)=O_c^{{\beta }_{0}X\setminus X}$ (resp., $C_c^{\psi }\left(X\right)=M_c^{{\beta }_{0}X\setminus {\upsilon }_{0}X}$), where ${\beta }_{0}X$ is the Banaschewski compactification of $X$ and ${\upsilon }_{0}X$ is the $\mathbb{N}$-compactification of $X$. This implies that for an $\mathbb{N}$-compact space $X$, the intersection of all free maximal ideals in $C_c\left(X\right)$ is equal to $C_c^K\left(X\right)$, i.e., $M_c^{{\beta }_{0}X\setminus X}=C_c^K\left(X\right)$.
