We prove that every nonnegative continuous real-valued function on a given compact metric space is the uniform limit of some increasing sequence of nonnegative simple functions being linear combinations of indicators of open sets; here the…

We prove that if $\Sigma_{\mathbf A}(\mathbb N)$ is an irreducible Markov shift space over $\mathbb N$ and $f:\Sigma_{\mathbf A}(\mathbb N) \rightarrow \mathbb R$ is coercive with bounded variation then there exists a maximizing probability…

We show that the minimization problem of any non-convex and non-lower semi-continuous function on a compact convex subset of a locally convex real topological vector space can be studied via an associated convex and lower semi-continuous…

Let G be an amenable group, let X be a Banach space and let \pi : G --> B(X) be a bounded representation. We show that if the set {\pi(t) : t \in G} is gamma-bounded then \pi extends to a bounded homomorphism w : C*(G) --> B(X) on the group…

We investigate properties of the group inverse in rings with unit related to products and differences of idempotents, and thus we extend some results from \cite{DENG} to more general settings. We show that most part of \cite{DENG} is easily…

We show that for any natural number $s$, there is a constant $\gamma$ and a subgraph-closed class having, for any natural $n$, at most $\gamma^n$ graphs on $n$ vertices up to isomorphism, but no adjacency labeling scheme with labels of size…

A metric vector space is asymptotically metrically normable (AMN) if there exists a norm asymptotically isometric to the distance. We prove that AMN vector spaces are rigid in the class of metric vector spaces under asymptotically isometric…

Every bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space which is invertible modulo compact operators has a closed range and is, thus, generalized invertible. We consider the analogue question in general $C^*$-algebras and describe the closed…

We consider an ultraproduct that is designed to omit a fixed set of unary types $\Gamma$, called the $\Gamma$-ultraproduct. The $\Gamma$-ultraproduct is not always well-behaved, but we discuss several general conditions under which it is…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group, let $\theta$ be an involution of $\Gamma$, and let $\rho$ be an irreducible complex representation of $\Gamma$. We bound $\dim \rho^{\Gamma^{\theta}}$ in terms of the smallest dimension of a faithful…

Let M be a complete metric space. It is proved that if the space or scalar-valued bounded continuous functions on M admits an isometric shift, then M is separable.

We establish an explicit characterisation of L\'evy measures on both $L^p$-spaces and UMD Banach spaces. In the case of $L^p$-spaces, L\'evy measures are characterised by an integrability condition, which directly generalises the known…

Let $(\Sigma_A, \sigma)$ be a subshift of finite type and let $M(x)$ be a continuous function on $\Sigma_A$ taking values in the set of non-negative matrices. We extend the classical scalar pressure function to this new setting and prove…

Idempotent analogues of convexity are introduced. It is proved that the category of algebras for the capacity monad in the category of compacta is isomorphic to the category of $(\max,\min)$-idempotent biconvex compacta and their biaffine…

We show in ZF that: (i) Every subcompact metrizable space is completely metrizable, and every completely metrizable space is countably subcompact. (ii) A metrizable space X=(X,T) is countably compact iff it is countably subcompact relative…

We show a rigidity result for subfactors that are normalized by a representation of a lattice $\Gamma$ in a higher rank simple Lie group with trivial center into a finite factor. This implies that every subfactor of $L\Gamma$ which is…

Let Gamma be a non-elementary Kleinian group acting on the closed n-dimensional unit ball and assume that its Poincare series converges at the exponent alpha. Let M_Gamma be the Gamma-quotient of the open unit ball. We consider certain…

Let G be a finite group and let M be a G-manifold. We introduce the concept of generalized orbifold invariants of M/G associated to an arbitrary group Gamma, an arbitrary Gamma-set, and an arbitrary covering space of a connected manifold…

A list $\Lambda =\{\lambda _{1},\ldots ,\lambda _{n}\}$ of complex numbers (repeats allowed) is said to be \textit{realizable} if it is the spectrum of an entrywise nonnegative matrix $A$. $\Lambda $ is \textit{diagonalizably realizable} if…
