It is shown that if a compact metric space $(X, d)$ is bi-H\"older equivalent to an ultrametric space, then the logarithmic ratio $R(X,d)$ is finite. Conversely, if the logarithmic ratio $R(X,d)$ is finite and ${\A}^*_p (X) \ne \emptyset$…

For a Hausdorff zero-dimensional topological space $X$ and a totally ordered field $F$ with interval topology, let $C_c(X,F)$ be the ring of all $F-$valued continuous functions on $X$ with countable range. It is proved that if $F$ is either…

A space X is finite dimensional, locally compact and separable metrizable if and only if X has a finite basic family: continuous functions Phi_1,...,Phi_n of X to the reals, R, such that for all continuous f from X to R there are g_1,...,…

We prove the following two results. 1. If $X$ is a completely regular space such that for every topological space $Y$ each separately continuous function $f:X\times Y\to\mathbb R$ is of the first Baire class, then every Lindel\"of subspace…

By a ring we always mean a commutative ring with identity. It is well known that maximal spectrum of $C(X)$, $C^*(X)$ and any intermediate subrings between $C(X)$ and $C^* (X)$ are homeomorphic and homeomorphic with $\beta X$, the…

Let $C_b(K)$ be the set of all bounded continuous (real or complex) functions on a complete metric space $K$ and $A$ a closed subspace of $C_b(K)$. Using the variational method, it is shown that the set of all strong peak functions in $A$…

We discuss subsets $S$ of ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ such that every real valued function $f$ on $S$ is of the form {equation*} f(x_1,x_2,...,x_n) = u_1(x_1) + u_2(x_2) + ... + u_n(x_n), {equation*} and the related concepts and situations in…

In 2011, Khurana, Lam and Wang define the following property. (*)A commutative unital ring A satisfies the property ''power stable range one'' if for all a, b $\in$ A with aA + bA = A there are an integer N = N (a, b) $\ge$ 1 and $\lambda$…

In this paper,\ the authors define a space with an uniform base at non-isolated points, give some characterizations of images of metric spaces by boundary-compact maps, and study certain relationship among spaces with special base…

A topological space $X$ is Baire if the intersection of any sequence of open dense subsets of $X$ is dense in $X$. Let $C_p(X,[0,1])$ denote the space of all continuous $[0,1]$-valued functions on a Tychonoff space $X$ with the topology of…

We study the ring of arithmetical functions with unitary convolution, giving an isomorphism to a generalized power series ring on infinitely many variables, similar to the isomorphism of Cashwell-Everett between the ring of arithmetical…

We say that a (countably dimensional) topological vector space $X$ is orbital if there is $T\in L(X)$ and a vector $x\in X$ such that $X$ is the linear span of the orbit ${T^nx:n=0,1,...}$. We say that $X$ is strongly orbital if,…

A ring is called a commutator ring if every element is a sum of additive commutators. In this paper we give examples of such rings. In particular, we show that given any ring R, a right R-module N, and a set X, End_R(\bigoplus_X N) and…

It is proved that every function of finite Baire index on a separable metric space $K$ is a $D$-function, i.e., a difference of bounded semi-continuous functions on $K$. In fact it is a strong $D$-function, meaning it can be approximated…

Let $F$ be a field, let $D$ be a subring of $F$ and let $Z$ be an irreducible subspace of the space of all valuation rings between $D$ and $F$ that have quotient field $F$. Then $Z$ is a locally ringed space whose ring of global sections is…

It is well known that for a non pseudocompact space X, the family (X) of all intermediate subrings of C(X) which contain bounded real valued continuous functions contains at least 2c many distinct rings. We show that if in addition X is…

We prove general results about separation and weak$^\#$-convergence of boundedly finite measures on separable metric spaces and Souslin spaces. More precisely, we consider an algebra of bounded real-valued, or more generally a $*$-algebra…

A metric space $(M, d)$ is said to be universal for a class of metric spaces if all metric spaces in the class can be isometrically embedded into $(M, d)$. In this paper, for a metrizable space $Z$ possessing abundant subspaces, we first…

For a nonempty subset $X$ of a ring $R$, the ring $R$ is called $X$-semiprime if, given $a\in R$, $aXa=0$ implies $a=0$. This provides a proper class of semiprime rings. First, we clarify the relationship between idempotent semiprime and…

A bounded operator $u$ on $X$ is called rigid when there is an increasing sequence of positive integers $(n_k)_{k\geq 1}$, such that for every $x$ in $X$ we have $\lim_{k \rightarrow +\infty} u^{n_k} x = x$. For any $r$ in $[0,1]$, we…
