The nil radical of an Archimedean partially ordered ring with positive squares

Boris Lavrič (1994)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Let R be an Archimedean partially ordered ring in which the square of every element is positive, and N ( R ) the set of all nilpotent elements of R . It is shown that N ( R ) is the unique nil radical of R , and that N ( R ) is locally nilpotent and even nilpotent with exponent at most 3 when R is 2-torsion-free. R is without non-zero nilpotents if and only if it is 2-torsion-free and has zero annihilator. The results are applied on partially ordered rings in which every element a is expressed as a = a 1 - a 2 with positive a 1 ,...

The order topology for a von Neumann algebra

Emmanuel Chetcuti, Jan Hamhalter, Hans Weber (2015)

Studia Mathematica

The order topology τ o ( P ) (resp. the sequential order topology τ o s ( P ) ) on a poset P is the topology that has as its closed sets those that contain the order limits of all their order convergent nets (resp. sequences). For a von Neumann algebra M we consider the following three posets: the self-adjoint part M s a , the self-adjoint part of the unit ball M ¹ s a , and the projection lattice P(M). We study the order topology (and the corresponding sequential variant) on these posets, compare the order topology to the other...

The 𝒜 r -free products of archimedean l -groups

Dao Rong Tong (1998)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The objective of this paper is to give two descriptions of the 𝒜 r -free products of archimedean -groups and to establish some properties for the 𝒜 r -free products. Specifically, it is proved that 𝒜 r -free products satisfy the weak subalgebra property.

The Redfield topology on some groups of continuous functions.

Nadal Batle Nicolau, Josep Grané Manlleu (1977)

Stochastica

The Redfield topology on the space of real-valued continuous functions on a topological space is studied (we call it R-topology for short). The R-neighbourhoods are described relating them to the connectedness for the carriers. The main results are: If the space is totally disconnected without isolated points, the R-topology is not discrete. Under suitable conditions on the space, R-convergence implies pointwise or uniform convergence. Under some restrictions, R-convergence for a net implies that...
