Assuming $\mathfrak b = \mathfrak c$ (or some weaker statement), we construct a compactification $\gamma\omega$ of $\omega$ such that its remainder $\gamma\omega\setminus\omega$ is nonseparable and carries a strictly positive measure.

A commutative algebra is exact if its multiplication endomorphisms are trace-free and is Killing metrized if its Killing type trace-form is nondegenerate and invariant. A Killing metrized exact commutative algebra is necessarily neither…

An algebra is called skew-symmetric if its multiplication operation is a skew-symmetric bilinear application. We determine all these algebras in dimension $3$ over a field of characteristic different from $2$. As an application, we…

Main result: If a C*-algebra is simple, $\sigma$-unital, has finitely many extremal traces, and has strict comparison of positive elements by traces, then its multiplier also has strict comparison of positive elements by traces. The same…

There exists a complete atomless Boolean algebra that has no proper atomless complete subalgebra.

A survey of results for Mahler measure of algebraic numbers, and one-variable polynomials with integer coefficients is presented. Related results on the maximum modulus of the conjugates (`house') of an algebraic integer are also discussed.…

Let $\mu$ be a Borel measure on a compactum $X$. The main objects in this paper are $\sigma$-ideals $I(dim)$, $J_0(\mu)$, $J_f(\mu)$ of Borel sets in $X$ that can be covered by countably many compacta which are finite-dimensional, or of…

The conventional definition of a topological metric over a space specifies properties that must be obeyed by any measure of "how separated" two points in that space are. Here it is shown how to extend that definition, and in particular the…

Let $G$ be a locally compact Abelian group, and $w: G\to (0, \infty)$ be a Borel measurable weighted function. In this paper, the algebraic and topological properties of group algebra are studied and assessed. We show that the weighted…

Let $X$ be a topological space and $\mu$ be a nonatomic finite measure on a $\sigma$-algebra $\Sigma$ containing the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of $X$. We say $\mu$ is weakly outer regular, if for every $A \in \Sigma$ and $\epsilon>0$, there…

A subset $A$ of a Boolean algebra $B$ is said to be $(n,m)$-reaped if there is a partition of unity $P \subset B$ of size $n$ such that the cardinality of $\{b \in P: b \wedge a \neq \emptyset\}$ is greater than or equal to $m$ for all…

Let G be a compact connected Lie group. We prove that the Fourier algebra A(G) is weakly amenable if and only if G is abelian.

Let $\nu$ be a vector measure defined on a $\sigma$-algebra $\Sigma$ and taking values in a Banach space. We prove that if $\nu$ is homogeneous and $L_1(\nu)$ is non-separable, then there is a vector measure $\tilde{\nu}:\Sigma \to…

We present a collection of observations and results concerning submeasures on Boolean algebras. They are all motivated by Maharam's problem and Talagrand's construction that solved it.

We study the interplay between properties of measures on a Boolean algebra A and forcing names for ultrafilters on A. We show that several well known measure theoretic properties of Boolean algebras (such as supporting a strictly positive…

We say that a set $S$ is $\Delta^0_{(n)}(X)$ if membership of $n$ in $S$ is a $\Delta^0_{n}(X)$ question, uniformly in $n$. A set $X$ is low for $\Delta$-Feiner if every set $S$ that is $\Delta^0_{(n)}(X)$ is also…

A cardinal k is called a Kunen cardinal if the sigma-algebra on k x k generated by all products AxB, coincides with the power set of k x k. For any cardinal k, let C(2^k) be the Banach space of all continuous real-valued functions on the…

Denote by Q(k) a \sigma-discrete metric weight-homogeneous space of weight k. We give an internal description of the space Q(k)^\omega. We prove that the Baire space B(k) is densely homogeneous with respect to Q(k)^\omega if k > \omega.…

Let $k$ be a field containing an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. If $G$ is a finite group and $D$ is a division algebra over $k$, finite dimensional over its center, we can associate to a faithful $G$-grading on $D$ a…

It is shown that universal algebras that are injective in their equational classes are characterized by internal property that can be called completeness. We define universal algebra $A$ as complete (closed to simple extensions) if for each…
