Let K be a (commutative) field, and U and V be finite-dimensional vector spaces over K. Let S be a linear subspace of the space L(U,V) of all linear operators from U to V. A map F from S to V is called range-compatible when F(s) belongs to…

Let $U$ and $V$ be finite-dimensional vector spaces over an arbitrary field, and $\mathcal{S}$ be a subset of the space $\mathcal{L}(U,V)$ of all linear maps from $U$ to $V$. A map $F : \mathcal{S} \rightarrow V$ is called range-compatible…

Two matrix vector spaces $V,W\subset \mathbb C^{n\times n}$ are said to be equivalent if $SVR=W$ for some nonsingular $S$ and $R$. These spaces are congruent if $R=S^T$. We prove that if all matrices in $V$ and $W$ are symmetric, or all…

We consider all compatible topologies of an arbitrary finite-dimensional vector space over a non-trivial valuation field whose metric completion is a locally compact space. We construct the canonical lattice isomorphism between the lattice…

Let X be a complex nonsingular affine algebraic variety, K a holomorphically convex subset of X, and Y a homogeneous variety for some complex linear algebraic group. We prove that a holomorphic map f:K-->Y can be uniformly approximated on K…

We consider holomorphic mappings $H$ between a smooth real hypersurface $M\subset \bC^{n+1}$ and another $M'\subset \bC^{N+1}$ with $N\geq n$. We provide conditions guaranteeing that $H$ is transversal to $M'$ along all of $M$. In the…

For every $m,n \in \mathbb{N}$ and every field $K$, let $M(m \times n, K)$ be the vector space of the $(m \times n)$-matrices over $K$ and let $S(n,K)$ be the vector space of the symmetric $(n \times n)$-matrices over $K$. We say that an…

A subspace $X$ of a vector space over a field $K$ is hyperinvariant with respect to an endomorphism $f$ of $V$ if it is invariant for all endomorphisms of $V$ that commute with $f$. We assume that $f$ is locally nilpotent, that is, every $…

Let $S_{n}$ denote the space of all $n \times n$ real symmetric matrices. For n=2 or n>2 we characterize maps F from $S_{n}$ to $S_{m}$ which preserve adjacency, i.e. if rank(A-B)=1, then rank(F(A)-F(B))=1.

Let G be a locally compact group, and let U be its unitary representation on a Hilbert space H. Endow the space L(H) of linear bounded operators on H with weak operator topology. We prove that if U is a measurable map from G to L(H) then it…

For any $n\geq k\geq l\in\mathbb{N},$ let $S(n,k,l)$ be the set of all those non-negative definite matrices $a\in M_{n}(\mathbb{C})$ with $l\leq\text{rank }a\leq k$. Motivated by applications to $C^{*}$-algebra theory, we investigate the…

Let V be a linear subspace of M_{n,p}(K) with codimension lesser than n, where K is an arbitrary field and n >=p. In a recent work of the author, it was proven that V is always spanned by its rank p matrices unless n=p=2 and K is isomorphic…

Johnson's characterization of amenable groups states that a discrete group $\Gamma$ is amenable if and only if $H_b^{n \geq 1}(\Gamma; V) = 0$ for all dual normed $\mathbb{R}[\Gamma]$-modules V. In this paper, we extend the previous result…

We formulate a conjecture that arithmetic locally symmetric manifolds have simple homotopy type, and prove it for the non-compact case. More precisely, we show that, for any symmetric space S of non-compact type without Euclidean de Rham…
