The basic notion of the article is a pair (A,U), where A is a commutative C*-algebra and U is a partial isometry such that mapping U()U* is an endomorphism of A and U*U belongs to A. We give a description of the maximal ideal space of the…

Let $S$ be a multiplicatively idempotent congruence-simple semiring. We show that $|S|=2$ if $S$ has a multiplicatively absorbing element. We also prove that if $S$ is finite then either $|S|=2$ or $S\cong End(L)$ or $S^{op}\cong End(L)$…

It is shown that every linear surjective isometry between two right, full, Hilbert C*-modules is a sum of two maps : a (bi-) module map (which is completely isometric and preserves the inner product) and a map that reverses the (bi-) module…

We study some topological properties of maximal ideal spaces of certain algebras of almost periodic functions. Our main result is that such spaces are contractible. We present certain corollaries of this result.

In this paper we calculate the elliptic genus of certain complete intersections in products of projective spaces. We show that it is equal to the elliptic genus of the Landau-Ginzburg models that are, according to Hori and Vafa, mirror…

The existence of maximally incompatible quantum observables in the sense of a minimal joint measurability region is investigated. Employing the universal quantum cloning device it is argued that only infinite dimensional quantum systems can…

We study the semilinear elliptic equation \begin{equation*} -\Delta u=u^\alpha |\log u|^\beta\quad\text{in }B_1\setminus\{0\}, \end{equation*} where $B_1\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\geq 3$, $\frac{n}{n-2} < \alpha < \frac{n+2}{n-2}$ and…

We extend a classical theorem by H. Lewy to planar $\sigma$-harmonic mappings, that is mappings $U$ whose components $u^1$ and $u^2$ solve a divergence structure elliptic equation ${\rm div} (\sigma \nabla u^i)=0$ , for $i=1,2$. A similar…

We define E-theory for separable C*-algebras over second countable topological spaces and establish its basic properties. This includes an approximation theorem that relates the E-theory over a general space to the E-theories over finite…

We establish the existence of strong solutions to a class of nonlinear strongly coupled and uniform elliptic systems consisting of more than two equations. The existence of of nontrivial and non constant solutions (or pattern formations)…

An elliptic pair $(X, C)$ is a projective rational surface $X$ with log terminal singularities, and an irreducible curve $C$ contained in the smooth locus of $X$, with arithmetic genus one and self-intersection zero. They are a useful tool…

We prove the open question posed by Zhuang and Hu in Remark 3.1. More generally, we consider symmetric joint probability mass functions and joint densities whose associated quadratic form is non-negative. In this class, for every \(r>0\),…

For a given complete lattice L, we investigate whether L can be decomposed as a direct product of directly indecomposable lattices. We prove that this is the case if every element of L is a join of join-irreducible elements and dually, thus…

On a separable C*-algebra A every (completely) bounded map, which preserves closed two sided ideals, can be approximated uniformly by elementary operators if and only if A is a finite direct sum of C*-algebras of continuous sections…

We study existence, multiplicity and qualitative properties of entire solutions for a noncompact problem related to p-biharmonic type equations with weights. More precisely, we deal with the following family of equations $$ \Delta_{p}^2 u =…

Given two baric algebras $(A_1,\omega_1)$ and $(A_2,\omega_2)$ we describe a way to define a new baric algebra structure over the vector space $A_1\oplus A_2$, which we shall denote $(A_1\bowtie A_2,\omega_1\bowtie\omega_2)$. We present…

Let $A$ and $C$ be two unital simple C*-algebas with tracial rank zero. Suppose that $C$ is amenable and satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem. Denote by ${{KK}}_e(C,A)^{++}$ the set of those $\kappa$ for which…

We say that an idempotent term $t$ is an exact-$m$-majority term if $t$ evaluates to $a$, whenever the element $a$ occurs exactly $m$ times in the arguments of $t$, and all the other arguments are equal. If $m<n$ and some variety $\mathcal…

Let G be a group. A subset X of G is a set of pairwise non-commuting elements if xy is not equal to yx for any two distinct elements x and y in X. If |X|>=|Y| for any other set of pairwise non-commuting elements Y in G, then X is said to be…

It is pointed out that if we allow for the possibility of a multilayered universe, it is possible to maintain exact supersymmetry and arrange, in principle, for the vanishing of the cosmological constant. Superpartner(s) of a known particle…
