The theory of exact C*-algebras was introduced by Kirchberg and has been influential in recent development of C*-algebras. A fundamental result on exact C*-algebras is a local characterization of exactness. The notion of weakly exact von…

We show in ZF that: (i) Every subcompact metrizable space is completely metrizable, and every completely metrizable space is countably subcompact. (ii) A metrizable space X=(X,T) is countably compact iff it is countably subcompact relative…

In this paper, we show that if the reduced Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B_{\rho}(G)$ of a second countable locally compact group $G$ has either weak* fixed point property or asymptotic center property, then $G$ is compact. As a result, we…

The Banach space $E$ has the weakly compact approximation property (W.A.P. for short) if there is a constant $C < \infty$ so that for any weakly compact set $D \subset E$ and $\epsilon > 0$ there is a weakly compact operator $V: E \to E$…

This paper deals with the problem of when, given a collection $\mathcal C$ of weakly compact operators between separable Banach spaces, there exists a separable reflexive Banach space $Z$ with a Schauder basis so that every element in…

The property of countable metacompactness of a topological space gets its importance from Dowker's 1951 theorem that the product of a normal space X with the unit interval is again normal iff X is countably metacompact. In a recent paper,…

The concept of a relatively weakly injective pair of operator systems is introduced and studied in this paper, motivated by relative weak injectivity in the C*-algebra category. E. Kirchberg \cite{Kr} proved that the C*-algebra…

We investigate weak$^*$ derived sets, that is the sets of weak$^*$ limits of bounded nets, of convex subsets of duals of non-reflexive Banach spaces and their possible iterations. We prove that a dual space of any non-reflexive Banach space…

If $\mathcal{H}$ denotes a Hilbert space of analytic functions on a region $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{C}^d$, then the weak product is defined by $$\mathcal{H}\odot\mathcal{H}=\left\{h=\sum_{n=1}^\infty f_n g_n : \sum_{n=1}^\infty…

We present the result of a comparison between the dark matter distribution inferred from weak gravitational lensing and the observed galaxy distribution to identify dark structures with a high dark matter-to-galaxy density ratio. To do…

We compute the weak lensing convergence power spectrum, $C^{\kappa\kappa}(\theta)$, in a dust-filled universe using fully non-linear general relativistic simulations. The spectrum is then compared to more standard, approximate calculations…

The main result of this paper is to show that for any compact space $X$ and any family $\{f_\alpha \colon \alpha< 2^\kappa, f_\alpha \colon X \stackrel{onto}{\longrightarrow} \beta \kappa\}$ of open mappings there exists a point $x \in X$…

Two methods of constraining the properties of dark energy are weak lensing tomography and cluster counting. Uncertainties in mass calibration of clusters can be reduced by using the properties of halo clustering (the clustering of…

In \cite{Chaber}, Chaber has proved that countably compact spaces with a quasi $G_{\delta }$-diagonal are compact. We prove that initially $\kappa $% -compact spaces with a quasi $G_{\kappa }$-diagonal are compact, for any infinite cardinal…

Weak gravitational lensing is a powerful tool for studying both the geometry and the dynamics of the Universe. Its power spectrum contains information on the sources emitting photons and on the large--scale structures that these hotons…

Let $A$ be a separable amenable $C^*$-algebra and $B$ a non-unital and $\sigma$-unital simple $C^*$-algebra with continuous scale ($B$ need not be stable). We classify, up to unitary equivalence, all essential extensions of the form $0…

Let $\ell$ be a length function on a group $G$, and let $M_{\ell}$ denote the operator of pointwise multiplication by $\ell$ on $\bell^2(G)$. Following Connes, $M_{\ell}$ can be used as a ``Dirac'' operator for $C_r^*(G)$. It defines a…

We study the $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{T}/\mathcal{K}$ where $\mathcal{T}$ is the $C^*$-algebra generated by $d$ weighted shifts on the Fock space of $\mathbb{C}^d$, $\mathcal{F}(\mathbb{C}^d)$, ( where the weights are given by a sequence…

We show that the K-theory of C*-algebras can be defined by pairs of matrices satisfying less strict relations than idempotency.

If $f$ is a real valued weakly lower semi-continous function on a Banach space $X$ and $C$ a weakly compact subset of $X$, we show that the set of $x \in X$ such that $z \mapsto \|x-z\|-f(z)$ attains its supremum on $C$ is dense in $X$. We…
