We study conditions under which a finite simplicial complex $K$ can be mapped to $\mathbb R^d$ without higher-multiplicity intersections. An almost $r$-embedding is a map $f: K\to \mathbb R^d$ such that the images of any $r$ pairwise…

A Banach space $X$ is said to have Efremov's property ($\mathcal{E}$) if every element of the weak$^*$-closure of a convex bounded set $C \subseteq X^*$ is the weak$^*$-limit of a sequence in $C$. By assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, we…

In this article I study a number of topological and algebraic dimension type properties of simple C*-algebras and their interplay. In particular, a simple C*-algebra is defined to be (tracially) (m,\bar{m})-pure, if it has (strong tracial)…

A $k$-uniform family of subsets of $[n]$ is intersecting if it does not contain a disjoint pair of sets. The study of intersecting families is central to extremal set theory, dating back to the seminal Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem of 1961 that…

We investigate a slight weakening of the classical property of strong approximation, which we call almost strong approximation, for connected reductive algebraic groups over global fields with respect to special sets of valuations. While…

An irreducible weight module of an affine Kac-Moody algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ is called dense if its support is equal to a coset in $\mathfrak{h}^{*}/Q$. Following a conjecture of V. Futorny about affine Kac-Moody algebras $\mathfrak{g}$, an…

For elements $a, b$ of a C*-algebra we denote $a=ab$ by $a\ll b$. We show that all $\omega_1$-unital C*-algebras have $\ll$-increasing approximate units, extending a classical result for $\sigma$-unital C*-algebras. We also construct (in…

We establish four results concerning connections between actions on separable C*-algebras with Rokhlin-type properties and absorption of the Jiang-Su algebra Z. For actions of residually finite groups or of the reals which have finite…

We exhibit a countably infinite family of simple, separable, nuclear, and mutually non-isomorphic C*-algebras which agree on K-theory and traces. The algebras do not absorb the Jiang-Su algebra Z tensorially, answering a question of N. C.…

Let $\mathfrak{A}$ be a Banach algebra, and $\mathcal{X}$ a Banach $\mathfrak{A}$-bimodule. A bounded linear mapping $\mathcal{D}:\mathfrak{A}\rightarrow \mathcal{X}$ is approximately semi-inner derivation if there eixist nets…

The well-known Reifenberg theorem states that if a subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be well approximated by $k$-planes at every point and every scale, then it is biH\"older homeomorphic to a $k$-disk. This article concerns a subset $S$ of…

By Glimm's dichotomy, a separable, simple $\textrm{C}^*$-algebra has continuum-many unitarily inequivalent irreducible representations if, and only if, it is non-type I while all of its irreducible representations are unitarily equivalent…

A review of the state of the art of the comparison between any two different modes of convergence of sequences of measurable functions is carried out with focus on the algebraic structure of the families under analysis. As a complement of…

We present quasi-Banach spaces which are closely related to the duals of combinatorial Banach spaces. More precisely, for a compact family $\mathcal{F}$ of finite subsets of $\omega$ we define a quasi-norm $\lVert \cdot \rVert^\mathcal{F}$…

Following D. Sobota we call a family $\mathcal F$ of infinite subsets of $\mathbb N$ a Rosenthal family if it can replace the family of all infinite subsets of $\mathbb N$ in classical Rosenthal's Lemma concerning sequences of measures on…

We say that a family $\mathcal F$ of $k$-element sets is a {\it $j$-junta} if there is a set $J$ of size $j$ such that, for any $F$, its presence in $\mathcal F$ depends on its intersection with $J$ only. Approximating arbitrary families by…

We study ultrafilters on countable sets and reaping families which are indestructible by Sacks forcing. We deal with the combinatorial characterization of such families and we prove that every reaping family of size smaller than the…

A trace on a C*-algebra is amenable (resp. quasidiagonal) if it admits a net of completely positive, contractive maps into matrix algebras which approximately preserve the trace and are approximately multiplicative in the 2-norm (resp.…

This paper continues the investigations of noncommutative ordered spaces put forward by one of the authors. These metaphoric spaces are defined dually by so-called \emph{isocones} which generalize to the noncommutative setting the convex…

Let $A$ be a separable amenable $C^*$-algebra and $B$ a non-unital and $\sigma$-unital simple $C^*$-algebra with continuous scale ($B$ need not be stable). We classify, up to unitary equivalence, all essential extensions of the form $0…
