L’hyperanneau des classes d’adèles

Alain Connes (2011)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

J’exposerai ici quelques résultats récents (obtenus en collaboration avec C. Consani [3], [4], [5], [6]) qui portent sur le cas limite de la “caractéristique 1 ”. Le but principal est de montrer que l’espace des classes d’adèles d’un corps global, qui jusqu’à présent n’a été considéré que comme un espace (non-commutatif), admet en fait une structure algébrique naturelle. Nous verrons également que la construction de l’anneau de Witt d’un anneau de caractéristique p > 1 admet un analogue en caractéristique...

Marcinkiewicz spaces, commutators and non-commutative geometry

(2011)

Banach Center Publications

Nigel J. Kalton was one of the most eminent guests participating in the Józef Marcinkiewicz Centenary Conference. His contribution to the scientific aspect of the meeting was very essential. Nigel was going to prepare a paper based on his plenary lecture. The editors are completely sure that the paper would be a real ornament of the Proceedings. Unfortunately, Nigel's sudden death totally destroyed editors' hopes and plans. Every mathematician knows how unique were Nigel's mathematical achievements....

Metric Entropy of Homogeneous Spaces

Stanisław Szarek (1998)

Banach Center Publications

For a precompact subset K of a metric space and ε > 0, the covering number N(K,ε) is defined as the smallest number of balls of radius ε whose union covers K. Knowledge of the metric entropy, i.e., the asymptotic behaviour of covering numbers for (families of) metric spaces is important in many areas of mathematics (geometry, functional analysis, probability, coding theory, to name a few). In this paper we give asymptotically correct estimates for covering numbers for a large class of homogeneous...

Noncommutative 3-sphere as an example of noncommutative contact algebras

Hideki Omori, Naoya Miyazaki, Akira Yoshioka, Yoshiaki Maeda (1997)

Banach Center Publications

The notion of deformation quantization was introduced by F.Bayen, M.Flato et al. in [1]. The basic idea is to formally deform the pointwise commutative multiplication in the space of smooth functions C ( M ) on a symplectic manifold M to a noncommutative associative multiplication, whose first order commutator is proportional to the Poisson bracket. It is of interest to compute this quantization for naturally occuring cases. In this paper, we discuss deformations of contact algebras and give a definition...

Noncommutative Borsuk-Ulam-type conjectures

Paul F. Baum, Ludwik Dąbrowski, Piotr M. Hajac (2015)

Banach Center Publications

Within the framework of free actions of compact quantum groups on unital C*-algebras, we propose two conjectures. The first one states that, if δ : A A m i n H is a free coaction of the C*-algebra H of a non-trivial compact quantum group on a unital C*-algebra A, then there is no H-equivariant *-homomorphism from A to the equivariant join C*-algebra A δ H . For A being the C*-algebra of continuous functions on a sphere with the antipodal coaction of the C*-algebra of functions on ℤ/2ℤ, we recover the celebrated Borsuk-Ulam...

Non-commutative Gelfand-Naimark theorem

Janusz Migda (1993)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We show that if Y is the Hausdorffization of the primitive spectrum of a C * -algebra A then A is * -isomorphic to the C * -algebra of sections vanishing at infinity of the canonical C * -bundle over Y .

Order theory and interpolation in operator algebras

David P. Blecher, Charles John Read (2014)

Studia Mathematica

In earlier papers we have introduced and studied a new notion of positivity in operator algebras, with an eye to extending certain C*-algebraic results and theories to more general algebras. Here we continue to develop this positivity and its associated ordering, proving many foundational facts. We also give many applications, for example to noncommutative topology, noncommutative peak sets, lifting problems, peak interpolation, approximate identities, and to order relations between an operator...

Quantum Fibre Bundles. An Introduction

Tomasz Brzeziński (1997)

Banach Center Publications

An approach to construction of a quantum group gauge theory based on the quantum group generalisation of fibre bundles is reviewed.

Representations of the direct product of matrix algebras

Daniele Guido, Lars Tuset (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Suppose B is a unital algebra which is an algebraic product of full matrix algebras over an index set X. A bijection is set up between the equivalence classes of irreducible representations of B as operators on a Banach space and the σ-complete ultrafilters on X (Theorem 2.6). Therefore, if X has less than measurable cardinality (e.g. accessible), the equivalence classes of the irreducible representations of B are labeled by points of X, and all representations of B are described (Theorem 3.3).

Some remarks on quantum and braided group gauge theory

Shahn Majid (1997)

Banach Center Publications

We clarify some aspects of quantum group gauge theory and its recent generalisations (by T. Brzeziński and the author) to braided group gauge theory and coalgebra gauge theory. We outline the diagrammatic version of the braided case. The bosonisation of any braided group provides us a trivial principal bundle in three ways.
