Computation of some examples of Brown's spectral measure in free probability

Philippe Biane, Franz Lehner (2001)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We use free probability techniques to compute spectra and Brown measures of some non-hermitian operators in finite von Neumann algebras. Examples include u + u where uₙ and u are the generators of ℤₙ and ℤ respectively, in the free product ℤₙ*ℤ, or elliptic elements of the form S α + i S β where S α and S β are free semicircular elements of variance α and β.

Condensations of Tychonoff universal topological algebras

Constancio Hernández (2001)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Let ( L , 𝒯 ) be a Tychonoff (regular) paratopological group or algebra over a field or ring K or a topological semigroup. If nw ( L , 𝒯 ) τ and nw ( K ) τ , then there exists a Tychonoff (regular) topology 𝒯 * 𝒯 such that w ( L , 𝒯 * ) τ and ( L , 𝒯 * ) is a paratopological group, algebra over K or a topological semigroup respectively.

Connected LCA groups are sequentially connected

Shou Lin, Mihail G. Tkachenko (2013)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We prove that every connected locally compact Abelian topological group is sequentially connected, i.e., it cannot be the union of two proper disjoint sequentially closed subsets. This fact is then applied to the study of extensions of topological groups. We show, in particular, that if H is a connected locally compact Abelian subgroup of a Hausdorff topological group G and the quotient space G / H is sequentially connected, then so is G .

Construction techniques for some thin sets in duals of compact abelian groups

D. J. Hajela (1986)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Various techniques are presented for constructing Λ (p) sets which are not Λ ( p + ϵ ) for all ϵ > 0 . The main result is that there is a Λ (4) set in the dual of any compact abelian group which is not Λ ( 4 + ϵ ) for all ϵ > 0 . Along the way to proving this, new constructions are given in dual groups in which constructions were already known of Λ (p) not Λ ( p + ϵ ) sets, for certain values of p . The main new constructions in specific dual groups are:– there is a Λ (2k) set which is not Λ ( 2 k + ϵ ) in Z ( 2 ) Z ( 2 ) for all 2 k , k N and ϵ > 0 , and in Z ( p ) Z ( p ) ( p a prime,...
