We prove that the Bass stable rank of the algebra of bounded holomorphic functions on an unbranched covering of a finite bordered Riemann surface is equal to one.

Various notions of stable ranks are studied for topological algebras. Some partial answers to R.G. Swan's problem (Have two Banach or good Fr\'echet algebras as in the density theorem in K-theory the same stable rank ?) are obtained. For…

Let $\alpha(G)$ denote the cardinality of a maximum independent set. An independent set $I$ of $G$ is critical if $\left|I\right|-\left|N(I)\right|\ge\left|J\right|-\left|N(J)\right|$ for every independent set $J$ of $G$. Let…

The zero forcing number of a graph $G$, denoted by $Z(G)$, is the minimum cardinality of a set $S$ of black vertices (where vertices in $V(G)\setminus S$ are colored white) such that $V(G)$ is turned black after finitely many applications…

We study an optimal control problem in Bolza form and we consider the value function associated to this problem. We prove two verification theorems which ensure that, if a function $W$ satisfies some suitable weak continuity assumptions and…

Let $H^\infty(\mathbb D\times\N)$ be the Banach algebra of bounded holomorphic functions defined on the disjoint union of countably many copies of the open unit disk $\mathbb D\subset\mathbb C$. We show that the dense stable rank of…

Garret Birkhoff's HSP theorem characterizes the classes of models of algebraic theories as those being closed with respect to homomorphic images, subalgebras, and products. In particular, it implies that an algebra $\mathbf{B}$ satisfies…

We prove stability theorems in the Cuntz semigroup of a commutative C*-algebra which are analogues of classical stability theorems for topological vector bundles over compact Hausdorff spaces. Several applications to simple unital AH…

Given a nonunital $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra $A$ one constructs its corona algebra $\mathcal M(A)/A$. This is the noncommutative analog of the \v{C}ech-Stone remainder of a topological space. We analyze the two faces of these algebras: the…

Solutions that satisfy classically the Burgers equation except, perhaps, on a closed set S of the plane of potential singularities whose Hausdorff 1-measure is zero, $H^1(S) = 0$, are necessarily identically constant. We show this under the…

Let A be a C*-algebra with real rank zero which has the stable weak cancellation property. Let I be an ideal of A such that I is stable and satisfies the corona factorization property. We prove that 0->I->A->A/I->0 is a full extension if…

We show how one can obtain solutions to the Arzel\`a-Ascoli theorem using suitable applications of the Bolzano-Weierstra{\ss} principle. With this, we can apply the results from \cite{aK} and obtain a classification of the strength of…

We give a new proof of sequential weak* lower semicontinuity in $\BV(\Omega;\R^m)$ for integral functionals with a quasiconvex Carath\'{e}odory integrand with linear growth at infinity and such that the recession function $f^\infty$ exists…

We study the differential equation $\frac{\partial G}{\partial\bar z}=g$ with an unbounded Banach-valued Bochner measurable function $g$ on the open unit disk $\mathbb D\subset\mathbb C$. We prove that under some conditions on the growth…

In 2007 Phillips and Weaver showed that, assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, there exists an outer automorphism of the Calkin algebra. (The Calkin algebra is the algebra of bounded operators on a separable complex Hilbert space, modulo the…

A cornerstone of extremal graph theory due to Erd\H{o}s and Stone states that the edge density which guarantees a fixed graph $F$ as subgraph also asymptotically guarantees a blow-up of $F$ as subgraph. It is natural to ask whether this…

We prove existence of solutions for the Benjamin-Ono equation with data in $H^s(\R)$, $s>0$. Thanks to conservation laws, this yields global solutions for $H^\frac 1 2(\R)$ data, which is the natural ``finite energy'' class. Moreover,…

We prove a structure theorem for stable functions on amenable groups, which extends the arithmetic regularity lemma for stable subsets of finite groups. Given a group $G$, a function $f\colon G\to [-1,1]$ is called stable if the binary…

In this paper we prove the theorem of the heart for Weibel's homotopy $K$-theory $KH.$ Namely, if $\mathcal{C}$ is a small stable $\infty$-category with a bounded $t$-structure, then the realization functor $D^b(\mathcal{C}^{\heartsuit})\to…

We study the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture for product spaces and product groups. We show that a product of CAT(0) groups, polycyclic groups and relatively hyperbolic groups which satisfy some assumptions on peripheral subgroups, satisfies…
