Idempotents and the multiplicative group of some totally bounded rings

Mohamed A. Salim, Adela Tripe (2011)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper, we extend some results of D. Dolzan on finite rings to profinite rings, a complete classification of profinite commutative rings with a monothetic group of units is given. We also prove the metrizability of commutative profinite rings with monothetic group of units and without nonzero Boolean ideals. Using a property of Mersenne numbers, we construct a family of power 2 0 commutative non-isomorphic profinite semiprimitive rings with monothetic group of units.

Inductive extreme non-Arens regularity of the Fourier algebra A(G)

Zhiguo Hu (2002)

Studia Mathematica

Let G be a non-discrete locally compact group, A(G) the Fourier algebra of G, VN(G) the von Neumann algebra generated by the left regular representation of G which is identified with A(G)*, and WAP(Ĝ) the space of all weakly almost periodic functionals on A(G). We show that there exists a directed family ℋ of open subgroups of G such that: (1) for each H ∈ ℋ, A(H) is extremely non-Arens regular; (2) V N ( G ) = H V N ( H ) and V N ( G ) / W A P ( G ̂ ) = H [ V N ( H ) / W A P ( H ̂ ) ] ; (3) A ( G ) = H A ( H ) and it is a WAP-strong inductive union in the sense that the unions in (2) are strongly...

Infinite ergodic index d -actions in infinite measure

E. Muehlegger, A. Raich, C. Silva, M. Touloumtzis, B. Narasimhan, W. Zhao (1999)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We construct infinite measure preserving and nonsingular rank one d -actions. The first example is ergodic infinite measure preserving but with nonergodic, infinite conservative index, basis transformations; in this case we exhibit sets of increasing finite and infinite measure which are properly exhaustive and weakly wandering. The next examples are staircase rank one infinite measure preserving d -actions; for these we show that the individual basis transformations have conservative ergodic Cartesian...
