A note on commutativity of automorphisms.
We study the free complexification operation for compact quantum groups, . We prove that, with suitable definitions, this induces a one-to-one correspondence between free orthogonal quantum groups of infinite level, and free unitary quantum groups satisfying .
Let be an infinite-dimensional almost separable Hilbert space. We show that every local automorphism of , the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space , is an automorphism.
Answering a question of Pisier, posed in [10], we construct an L-set which is not a finite union of translates of free sets.
In this note we study sets of normal generators of finitely presented residually -finite groups. We show that if an infinite, finitely presented, residually -finite group is normally generated by with order , then where denotes the first -Betti number of . We also show that any -generated group with must have girth greater than or equal .
An element a of the Banach algebra A is said to be regular provided there is an element b belonging to A such that a = aba. In this note we study the set of regular elements in the Calkin algebra C(X) over an infinite-dimensional complex Banach space X.
The author proves that on a von Neumann albebra (possibly of uncountable cardinality) there exists a family of states having mutually orthogonal supports (projections) converging to the identity operator.
