We establish new estimates to compute the $\lambda$-function of Aron and Lohman on the unit ball of a JB$^*$-triple. It is established that for every Brown-Pedersen quasi-invertible element $a$ in a JB$^*$-triple $E$ we have $$\hbox{dist}…

We study new classes of linear preservers between C$^*$-algebras and JB$^*$-triples. Let $E$ and $F$ be JB$^*$-triples with $\partial_{e} (E_1)$. We prove that every linear map $T:E\to F$ strongly preserving Brown-Pedersen quasi-invertible…

We prove that, given a constant $K> 2$ and a bounded linear operator $T$ from a JB$^*$-triple $E$ into a complex Hilbert space $H$, there exists a norm-one functional $\psi\in E^*$ satisfying $$\|T(x)\| \leq K \, \|T\| \, \|x\|_{\psi},$$…

We describe an extremal property of the hexagonal lattice $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}^2$. Let $p$ denote the circumcenter of its fundamental triangle (a so-called deep hole) and let $A_r$ denote the set of lattice points that are at…

Replacing invertibility with quasi-invertibility in Bass' first stable range condition we discover a new class of rings, the QB-rings. These constitute a considerable enlargement of the class of rings with stable rank one (B-rings), and…

We study the extreme points of the cone of quasiconvex quadratic forms with linear elastic orthotropic symmetry. We prove that if the determinant of the acoustic matrix of the associated forth order tensor of the quadratic form is an…

We provide a new proof of S. Bellenot's characterization of the extreme points of the unit ball $B_J$ of James quasi-reflexive space $J$. We also provide an explicit description of the norm of $J^{**}$ which yields an analogous…

Let $\bS=\{S_1,...,S_K\}$ be a finite set of complex $d\times d$ matrices and $\varSigma_{K}^+$ the compact space of all one-sided infinite sequences $i_{\bcdot}\colon\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\{1,...,K\}$. An ergodic probability $\mu_*$ of the…

Let $M$ be a unital JB$^*$-algebra whose closed unit ball is denoted by $\mathcal{B}_M$. Let $\partial_e(\mathcal{B}_M)$ denote the set of all extreme points of $\mathcal{B}_M$. We prove that an element $u\in \partial_e(\mathcal{B}_M)$ is a…

In this paper we investigate the extremal richness of the multiplier algebra $M(A)$ and the corona algebra $M(A)/A$, for a simple C*-algebra $A$ with real rank zero and stable rank one. We show that the space of extremal quasitraces and the…

In this paper, for a C*-Algebra A with M = M(A) an AW*-algebra, or equivalently, for an essential, norm-closed, two-sided ideal A of an AW*-algebra M, we investigate the strict approximability of the elements of M from commutative C*-…

We shall study non-linear extremal problems in Bergman space $\mathcal{A}^2(\mathbb{D})$. We show the existence of the solution and that the extremal functions are bounded. Further, we shall discuss special cases for polynomials,…

We prove that every commutative JB$^*$-triple has numerical index one. We also revisit the notion of commutativity in JB$^*$-triples to show that a JBW$^*$-triple $M$ has numerical index one precisely when it is commutative, while…

It is proved that for any finite dimensional representation of a prime order group over the field of rational numbers, polynomial invariants of degree at most $3$ separate the orbits. A result providing an upper degree bound for separating…

Let $T:E\rightarrow F$ be a non-necessarily continuous triple homomorphism from a (complex) JB$^*$-triple (respectively, a (real) J$^*$B-triple) to a normed Jordan triple. The following statements hold: (1) $T$ has closed range whenever $T$…

We improve a result of H. L. Montgomery and J. P. Weinberger by establishing the existence of infinitely many fundamental discriminants $d>0$ for which the class number of the real quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ exeeds…

We consider a conformal invariant of braids, the extremal length with totally real horizontal boundary values $\lambda_{tr}$. The invariant descends to an invariant of elements of $\mathcal{B}_n\diagup\mathcal{Z}_n$, the braid group modulo…

Elementary abelian groups are finite groups in the form of $A=(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^r$ for a prime number $p$. For every integer $\ell>1$ and $r>1$, we prove a non-trivial upper bound on the $\ell$-torsion in class groups of every…

We prove that every commutative JB$^*$-triple satisfies the complex Mazur--Ulam property. Thanks to the representation theory, we can identify commutative JB$^*$-triples as spaces of complex-valued continuous functions on a principal…

We obtain all extreme and exposed points of the closed unit ball of the space of bilinear forms $T:\ell_{\infty}^{2}\times\ell_{\infty}^{2}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}.$ We also show that any (norm one) bilinear form $T:\ell_{\infty…
