In this paper we study unimodular amenable groups. The first part is devoted to results on the existence of uniform families of epsilon-quasi tilings for these groups. In this context, constructions of Ornstein and Weiss are extended by…
As a follow-up to work done in [7], some new insights to the structure of the socle of a semisimple Banach algebra is obtained. In particular, it is shown that the socle is isomorphic as an algebra to the direct sum of tensor products of…
The purpose of this note is to show that, if $\mcB$ is a uniformly convex Banach, then the dual space $\mcB'$ has a "Hilbert space representation" (defined in the paper), that makes $\mcB$ much closer to a Hilbert space then previously…
The main problem considered in the present paper is to single out classes of convex sets, whose convexity property is preserved under nonlinear smooth transformations. Extending an approach due to B.T. Polyak, the present study focusses on…
We identify a class of smooth Banach *-algebras that are differential subalgebras of commutative C*-algebras whose openness of multiplication is completely determined by the topological stable rank of the target C*-algebra. We then show…
We investigate the structure of the commutative Banach algebra formed as the direct sum of integrable radial functions on the disc and the radial operators on the Bergman space, endowed with the convolution from quantum harmonic analysis as…
A topological group $G$ is called extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. This concept is linked with geometry of high dimensions (concentration of measure). We show that a von Neumann…
The $p$-Gelfand Phillips property ($1\le p<\infty$) is studied in spaces of operators. Dunford - Pettis type like sets are studied in Banach spaces. We discuss Banach spaces $X$ with the property that every $p$-convergent operator $T:X\to…
We introduce Banach algebras associated to twisted \'etale groupoids $(\mathcal{G},\mathcal{L})$ and to twisted inverse semigroup actions. This provides a unifying framework for numerous recent papers on $L^p$-operator algebras and the…
We study the topological dynamics of the action of an acylindrically hyperbolic group on the space of its infinite index convex cocompact subgroups by conjugation. We show that, for any suitable probability measure $\mu$, random walks with…
A Kleinian group $\Gamma < \mathrm{Isom}(\mathbb H^3)$ is called convex cocompact if any orbit of $\Gamma$ in $\mathbb H^3$ is quasiconvex or, equivalently, $\Gamma$ acts cocompactly on the convex hull of its limit set in $\partial \mathbb…
In this paper we present two Douglas-Rachford inspired iteration schemes which can be applied directly to N-set convex feasibility problems in Hilbert space. Our main results are weak convergence of the methods to a point whose nearest…
We study some generalized metric properties of weak topologies when restricted to the unit sphere of some equivalent norm on a Banach space, and their relationships with other geometrical properties of norms. In case of dual Banach space…
It is shown that if the Deddens algebra ${\mathcal D}_T$ associated with a quasinilpotent operator $T$ on a complex Banach space is closed and localizing then $T$ has a nontrivial closed hyperinvariant subspace.
We introduce a new topological property called (*) and the corresponding class of topological spaces, which includes spaces with $G_\delta$-diagonals and Gruenhage spaces. Using (*), we characterise those Banach spaces which admit…
Non-convex functions that yet satisfy a condition of uniform convexity for non-close points can arise in discrete constructions. We prove that this sort of discrete uniform convexity is inherited by the convex envelope, which is the key to…
We consider convex monotone $C_0$-semigroups on a Banach lattice, which is assumed to be a Riesz subspace of a $\sigma$-Dedekind complete Banach lattice. Typical examples include the space of all bounded uniformly continuous functions and…
We consider the dynamics of relativistic spin-half particles in quantum graphs with transparent branching points. The system is modeled by combining the quantum graph concept with the one of transparent boundary conditions applied to the…
Recent developments in Banach space theory provided unexpected examples of unital Banach algebras that are isomorphic to Calkin algebras of Banach spaces, however no example of a unital Banach algebra that cannot be realised as a~Calkin…
A polarity notion for sets in a Banach space is introduced in such a way that the second polar of a set coincides with the smallest strongly convex set with respect to R that contains it. Strongly convex sets are characterized in terms of…
