C*-algebras are rings, sometimes nonunital, obeying certain axioms that ensure a very well-behaved representation theory upon Hilbert space. Moreover, there are some well-known features of the representation theory leading to subtle…
In this paper we show that if $(X,\mathcal{A})$ is a measurable space and if $Y$ is a topological model of a Lawvere theory $\mathcal{T}$ equipped with $\mathcal{B}$ the Borel $\sigma$-algebra on $Y$, then the set of…
In problem 10621 of the American Mathematical Monthly the question was raised whether it is possible to explicitly compute Cantor's singular moment of order -1. This is answered in the affirmative.
Let $b \geq 3$ be a positive integer. A natural number is said to be a base-$b$ Zuckerman number if it is divisible by the product of its base-$b$ digits. Let $\mathcal{Z}_b(x)$ be the set of base-$b$ Zuckerman numbers that do not exceed…
We recall the definition of the $\epsilon$-distortion complexity of a set defined in \cite{bcc} and the results obtained in this paper for Cantor sets of the interval defined by iterated function systems. We state an analogous definition…
Given two elements $A,B$ in a compact semisimple Lie algebra, we show that there is a regular element $X$ and elements $Y,Z$ with $A=[X,Y]$ and $B=[X,Z]$. In the course of the proof we show also that every linear subspace $V$ of codimension…
We consider (not self-similar) Cantor sets defined by a sequence of piecewise linear functions. We prove that the dimension of the harmonic measure on such a set is strictly smaller than its Hausdorff dimension. Some Hausdorff measure…
In 1971 Cusick proved that every real number $x\in[0,1]$ can be expressed as a sum of two continued fractions with no partial quotients equal to $1$. In other words, if we define a set $$ S(k):= \{ x\in[0,1] : a_n(x) \geq k \text{ for all }…
The Cantor distribution is obtained from bitstrings; the Cantor-solus distribution (a new name) admits only strings without adjacent 1 bits. We review moments and order statistics associated with these. The Cantor-multus distribution is…
Each Cantor measure (\mu) with scaling factor 1/(2n) has at least one associated orthonormal basis of exponential functions (ONB) for L^2(\mu). In the particular case where the scaling constant for the Cantor measure is 1/4 and two specific…
In this paper, we classify the function space of all real-valued functions on R denoted as F(R, R) into 28 distinct blocks. Each block contains elements that share common features in terms of the cardinality of their sets of continuity and…
Fix a positive real number $\theta$. The natural numbers $m$ with largest square-free divisor not exceeding $m^\theta$ form a set $\mathscr{A}$, say. It is shown that whenever $\theta>1/2$ then all large natural numbers $n$ are the sum of…
Given an equivalence class $[A]$ in the measure algebra of the Cantor space, let $\hat\Phi([A])$ be the set of points having density 1 in $A$. Sets of the form $\hat\Phi([A])$ are called $\mathcal{T}$-regular. We establish several results…
We show that for all Cantor set $K_1$ on ${\mathbb R}^d$, it is always possible to find another Cantor set $K_2$ so that the sum $g(K_1)+ K_2$ (where $g$ is a $C^1$ local diffeomorphism) has non-empty interior, and the existence of the…
Given a sequence of subsets A_n of {0,...,n-1}, the Furstenberg correspondence principle provides a shift-invariant measure on Cantor space that encodes combinatorial information about infinitely many of the A_n's. Here it is shown that…
We calculate the Cuntz semigroup of the tensor product A with A. We restrict our attention to C*-algebras A which are unital, simple, nuclear, stably finite, have stable rank one, absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra tensorially and satisfy the…
A quantum theoretic representation of real and complex numbers is described here as equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences of quantum states of finite strings of qubits. There are 4 types of qubits each with associated single qubit…
We find estimates on the norms commutators of the form [f(x), y] in terms of the norm of [x, y] assuming that x and y are contractions in a C*-algebra A, with x normal and with spectrum within the domain of f. In particular we discuss [x^2,…
For a given graph whose edges are labeled with general real numbers, we consider the set of functions from the vertex set into the Euclidean plane such that the distance between the images of neighbouring vertices is equal to the…
Oftentimes the elements of a ring or semigroup $H$ can be written as finite products of irreducible elements, say $a=u_1 \cdot \ldots \cdot u_k = v_1 \cdot \ldots \cdot v_{\ell}$, where the number of irreducible factors is distinct. The set…
