A characterization of well-orders
We construct a totally disconnected compact Hausdorff space K₊ which has clopen subsets K₊” ⊆ K₊’ ⊆ K₊ such that K₊” is homeomorphic to K₊ and hence C(K₊”) is isometric as a Banach space to C(K₊) but C(K₊’) is not isomorphic to C(K₊). This gives two nonisomorphic Banach spaces (necessarily nonseparable) of the form C(K) which are isomorphic to complemented subspaces of each other (even in the above strong isometric sense), providing a solution to the Schroeder-Bernstein problem for Banach spaces...
For every countable ordinal α, we construct an -predual which is isometric to a subspace of and isomorphic to a quotient of . However, is not isomorphic to a subspace of .
We study the multiplicative lattices which satisfy the condition for all . Call them sharp lattices. We prove that every totally ordered sharp lattice is isomorphic to the ideal lattice of a valuation domain with value group or . A sharp lattice localized at its maximal elements are totally ordered sharp lattices. The converse is true if has finite character.
We prove here an Eilenberg type theorem: the so-called conjunctive varieties of rational languages correspond to the pseudovarieties of finite semilattice-ordered monoids. Taking complements of members of a conjunctive variety of languages we get a so-called disjunctive variety. We present here a non-trivial example of such a variety together with an equational characterization of the corresponding pseudovariety.
We introduce the so-called DN-algebra whose axiomatic system is a common axiomatization of directoids with an antitone involution and the so-called D-quasiring. It generalizes the concept of Newman algebras (introduced by H. Dobbertin) for a common axiomatization of Boolean algebras and Boolean rings.
A complete list of positive Tits-sincere one-peak posets is provided by applying combinatorial algorithms and computer calculations using Maple and Python. The problem whether any square integer matrix is ℤ-congruent to its transpose is also discussed. An affirmative answer is given for the incidence matrices and the Tits matrices of positive one-peak posets I.
We discuss the ultrasimplicial property of lattice-ordered abelian groups and their associated MV-algebras. We give a constructive proof of the fact that every lattice-ordered abelian group generated by three elements is ultrasimplicial.
