We consider spatial discretizations by the finite section method of the restricted group algebra of a finitely generated discrete group, which is represented as a concrete operator algebra via its left-regular representation. Special…

We reprove the well known fact that the energy distance defines a metric on the space of Borel probability measures on a Hilbert space with finite first moment by a new approach, by analyzing the behavior of the Gaussian kernel on Hilbert…

We characterize the class of weights related to the boundedness of variable fractional maximal operator $M_{\beta(\cdot),r(\cdot)}$ on variable Lebesgue spaces. This extend previously known results, including those corresponding to the…

An algebra $A$ is said to be directly finite if each left invertible element in the (conditional) unitization of $A$ is right invertible. We show that the reduced group ${\rm C}^\ast$-algebra of a unimodular group is directly finite,…

Given any Coxeter group, we define rigid reflections and rigid roots using non-self-intersecting curves on a Riemann surface with labeled curves. When the Coxeter group arises from an acyclic quiver, they are related to the rigid…

Kernel theorems, in general, provide a convenient representation of bounded linear operators. For the operator acting on a concrete function space, this means that its action on any element of the space can be expressed as a generalised…

Metaplectic operators form a relevant class of operators appearing in different applications, in the present work we study their Schwartz kernels. Namely, diagonality of a kernel is defined by imposing rapid off-diagonal decay conditions,…

Let $E \subset \C$ be a Borel set with finite length, that is, $0<\mathcal{H}^1 (E)<\infty$. By a theorem of David and L\'eger, the $L^2 (\mathcal{H}^1 \lfloor E)$-boundedness of the singular integral associated to the Cauchy kernel (or…

We prove a finiteness theorem for the class of complete finite volume Riemannian manifolds with pinched negative sectional curvature, fixed fundamental group, and of dimension $>2$. One of the key ingredients is that the fundamental group…

We show how the essential spectral radius of a bounded positive kernel, acting on bounded functions, is linked to its lower approximation by certain absolutely continuous kernels. The standart Doeblin's condition can be interpreted in this…

We characterize relatively norm compact sets in the regular $C^*$-algebra of finitely generated Coxeter groups using a geometrically defined positive semigroup acting on the algebra.

We study versions of strict Mittag-Leffler modules relativized to a class $\cK$ (of modules), that is, \emph{strict} versions (in the technical sense of Raynaud and Gruson) of $\cK$-Mittag-Leffler modules, as investigated in the preceding…

We introduce and study a combinatorially defined notion of root basis of a (real) root system of a possibly infinite Coxeter group. Known results on conjugacy up to sign of root bases of certain irreducible finite rank real root systems are…

We construct examples of flabby strict deformation quantizations not preserving K-groups. This answers a question of Rieffel negatively.

We study the operator-valued positive definite functions on a group using positive block matrices. We give an alternative proof to Brehmer positivity for doubly commuting contractions. We classify all commuting unitary representations over…

Motivated by work of Coxeter (1957), we study a class of algebras associated to Coxeter groups, which we term 'generalized nil-Coxeter algebras'. We construct the first finite-dimensional examples other than usual nil-Coxeter algebras;…

It has been recently shown that if $K$ is a sesqui-analytic scalar valued non-negative definite kernel on a domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb C^m$, then the function $\big(K^2\partial_i\bar{\partial}_j\log K\big )_{i,j=1}^ m,$ is also a…

For certain rings $\mathcal{R}$, we construct explicit matrices representing nonzero classes in the algebraic $K$ theory group $NK_{1}(\mathcal{R})$.

The universality properties of kernels characterize the class of functions that can be approximated in the associated reproducing kernel Hilbert space and are of fundamental importance in the theoretical underpinning of kernel methods in…

We investigate the interaction between the existence of reproducing kernels on infinite-dimensional Hermitian vector bundles and the positivity properties of the corresponding bundles. The positivity refers to the curvature form of certain…
