We show that if $T$ is an isometry (as metric spaces) from an open subgroup of the invertible group $A^{-1}$ of a unital Banach algebra $A$ onto an open subgroup of the invertible group $B^{-1}$ of a unital Banach algebra $B$, then $T$ is…

Factors $\frac{X}{Y}$ in a free group $F$ with $Y$ normal in $X$ are considered. Precise results on the free structure of ${Y}$ relative to the free structure of ${X}$ when $\frac{X}{Y}$ is abelian are obtained. Some extensions and…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be completely regular spaces and $E$ and $F$ be Hausdorff topological vector spaces. We call a linear map $T$ from a subspace of $C(X,E)$ into $C(Y,F)$ a \emph{Banach-Stone map} if it has the form $Tf(y) = S_{y}(f(h(y))$ for…

In this paper, we introduce a homological notion of left $\phi$-biprojectivity for Banach algebras, where $\phi$ is a non-zero multiplicative linear functional. We show that for a locally compact group $G$, the Segal algebra $S(G)$ is left…

We introduce the notion of the projective linking number Link(M,Z) of a compact oriented real submanifold M of dimension 2p-1 in complex projective n-space P^n with an algebraic subvariety Z in P^n - M of codimension p. This notion is…

A Banach space $E$ is said to be injective if for every Banach space $X$ and every subspace $Y$ of $X$ every operator $t:Y\to E$ has an extension $T:X\to E$. We say that $E$ is $\aleph$-injective (respectively, universally…

The purpose of this article is to generalize some known characterizations of Banach space properties in terms of graph preclusion. In particular, it is shown that superreflexivity can be characterized by the non-equi-bi-Lipschitz…

These notes are a detailed, self-contained introductory course on convexity and concavity in Banach lattices, suitable for both experts and beginners. We revisit, from a modern perspective, the classical notions of $(p,q)$-convexity,…

Let $\cal A$ and $\cal B$ be Banach algebras. A linear map $T:{\cal A} \rightarrow {\cal B}$ is called separating or disjointness preserving if $ab=0$ implies $Ta\;Tb = 0$ for all $a,b\in {\cal A}$. In this paper, we study a new class of…

A number of papers deal with the problem of counting the number of retractions of a structure $S$ onto a substructure $T.$ In the particular case when $S$ is a free algebra, this number is $\geq 1$ iff $T$ is projective. In this paper we…

Let $X$ be a reflexive Banach space such that for any $x \ne 0$ the set $$ \{x^* \in X^*: \text {$\|x^*\|=1$ and $x^*(x)=\|x\|$}\} $$ is compact. We prove that any unrestricted product of of a finite number of $(W)$ contractions on $X$…

In this book we study metric and topological versions of projectivity injectivity and flatness of Banach modules over Banach algebras. These two non-standard versions of Banach homology theories are studied in parallel under unified…

We prove that every lattice in a product of higher rank simple Lie groups or higher rank simple algebraic groups over local fields has Vincent Lafforgue's strong property (T). Over non-archimedean local fields, we also prove that they have…

We introduce inner band projections in the space of regular operators on a Dedekind complete Banach lattice and study some structural properties of this class. In particular, we provide a new characterization of atomic order continuous…

This is the second in a series of articles surveying the body of work on the model theory of S-acts over a monoid S. The first concentrated on the theory of regular S-acts. Here we review the material on model-theoretic properties of free,…

In quantum mechanics, each observable is assigned a collection of projections. Two observables are compatible (can be measured simultaneously) if and only if any two projections that are assigned to them commute. This led to the study of…

A simple binary matroid is called claw-free if none of its rank-3 flats are independent sets. These objects can be equivalently defined as the sets $E$ of points in $\mathrm{PG}(n-1,2)$ for which $|E \cap P|$ is not a basis of $P$ for any…

The purpose of this paper is to translate positivity properties of the tangent bundle (and the anti-canonical bundle) of an algebraic manifold into existence and movability properties of rational curves and to investigate the impact on the…

A net $(x_\alpha)$ in a vector lattice $X$ is unbounded order convergent to $x \in X$ if $\lvert x_\alpha - x\rvert \wedge u$ converges to $0$ in order for all $u\in X_+$. This convergence has been investigated and applied in several recent…

A flat of a matroid is cyclic if it is a union of circuits. The cyclic flats of a matroid form a lattice under inclusion. We study these lattices and explore matroids from the perspective of cyclic flats. In particular, we show that every…
