In this paper which is the first of a series of papers on smooth structures, the concepts of C-structures and smooth structures are introduced and studied. The notion of smooth structure on semi-integral domains is given. It is shown that…

We consider a semi-algebraic function defined on a closed semi-algebraic set X. We give formulas relating the topology of X to the indices of the critical points of the function and to the topological behavior of the function at infinity.…

Some sufficient conditions on a simplicial space $X$ guaranteeing that $X_1\simeq \Omega|X|$ were given by Segal. We give a generalization of this result for multisimplicial spaces. This generalization is appropriate for the reduced bar…

In this note we start the study of whether the reduced C*-algebra of an inverse semigroup is quasi-diagonal, making explicit use of the inner structure of this class of semigroups in order to produce quasi-diagonal approximations. Given a…

In this note, we prove that an affine cellular algebra $A$ is semisimple if and only if the scheme associated to $A$ is reduced and 0-dimensional, and the bilinear forms with respect to all layers of $A$ are isomorphisms. Moreover, if the…

We prove a sandwiching lemma for inner-exact locally compact Hausdorff \'etale groupoids. Our lemma says that every ideal of the reduced $C^*$-algebra of such a groupoid is sandwiched between the ideals associated to two uniquely defined…

We show that any compact connected semialgebraic set is the projection of a connected component of the configuration space of a linkage.

We prove that each semialgebraic subset of $\R^n$ of positive codimension can be locally approximated of any order by means of an algebraic set of the same dimension. As a consequence of previous results, algebraic approximation preserving…

The subject is partial desingularization preserving the normal crossings singularities of an algebraic or analytic variety X (over the complex field or over an uncountable algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, in the algebraic…

Let $R\subset F$ be an extension of real closed fields and ${\mathcal S}(M,R)$ the ring of (continuous) semialgebraic functions on a semialgebraic set $M\subset R^n$. We prove that every $R$-homomorphism $\varphi:{\mathcal S}(M,R)\to F$ is…

We show that semigroup C*-algebras attached to ax+b-semigroups over rings of integers determine number fields up to arithmetic equivalence, under the assumption that the number fields have the same number of roots of unity. For finite…

Every separable nondegenerate C*-correspondence over a commutative C*-algebra with discrete spectrum is isomorphic to a graph correspondence.

Let $C_b(X)$ be the C*-algebra of bounded continuous functions on some non-compact, but locally compact Hausdorff space $X$. Moreover, let $A_0$ be some ideal and $A_1$ be some unital C*-subalgebra of $C_b(X)$. For $A_0$ and $A_1$ having…

Let $\mathrm{R}$ be a real closed field and $\mathrm{C}$ the algebraic closure of $\mathrm{R}$. We give an algorithm for computing a semi-algebraic basis for the first homology group, $\mathrm{H}_1(S,\mathbb{F})$, with coefficients in a…

We introduce the notion of a (noncommutative) C*-Segal algebra as a Banach algebra which is a dense ideal in a C*-algebra. Several basic properties are investigated and, with the aid of the theory of multiplier modules, the structure of…

We show that diagrammatic sets, a topologically sound alternative to polygraphs and strict $\omega$-categories, admit an internal notion of equivalence in the sense of coinductive weak invertibility. We prove that equivalences have the…

We study graded symmetric algebras, which are the symmetric monoids in the monoidal category of vector spaces graded by a group. We show that a finite dimensional graded semisimple algebra is graded symmetric. The center of a symmetric…

We prove that every primary basic semialgebraic set is homotopy equivalent to the set of inscribed realizations (up to M\"obius transformation) of a polytope. If the semialgebraic set is moreover open, then, in addition, we prove that (up…

We present a novel family of $C^1$ quadrilateral finite elements, which define global $C^1$ spaces over a general quadrilateral mesh with vertices of arbitrary valency. The elements extend the construction by (Brenner and Sung, J. Sci.…

We show that every logmodular subalgebra of $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ is unitary equivalent to an algebra of block upper triangular matrices, which was conjectured in \cite{VM}. In particular, this shows that every unital contractive representation…
