We establish elements of a new approch to ellipticity and parametrices within operator algebras on a manifold with higher singularities, only based on some general axiomatic requirements on parameter-dependent operators in suitable scales…

We generalize Loewner's method for proving that matrix monotone functions are operator monotone. The relation x \leq y on bounded operators is our model for a definition for C*-relations of being residually finite dimensional. Our main…

Any knot in a solid torus, called a pattern or satellite operator, acts on knots in the 3-sphere via the satellite construction. We introduce a generalization of satellite operators which form a group (unlike traditional satellite…

Let ${\cal S}(\mathcal{H})$ denote the set of all self-adjoint operators (not necessarily bounded) on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, which is the set of all physical quantities on a quantum system $\mathcal{H}$. We introduce a binary…

This paper is mainly concerned with the relation-algebraical aspects of the well-known Region Connection Calculus (RCC). We show that the contact relation algebra (CRA) of certain RCC model is not atomic complete and hence infinite. So in…

The leitmotif of these Notes is the idea of a vertex operator algebra (VOA) and the relationship between VOAs and elliptic functions and modular forms. This is to some extent analogous to the relationship between a finite group and its…

Let Q and P be the position and momentum operators of a particle in one dimension. It is shown that all compact operators can be approximated in norm by linear combinations of the basic resolvents (aQ + bP - i r)^{-1} for real constants…

We investigate some modal operators of necessity and possibility in the context of meet-complemented (not necessarily distributive) lattices. We proceed in stages. We compare our operators with others.

We show that a normal coaction of a discrete group on an operator algebra extends to a normal coaction on the C*-envelope. This resolves an open problem attempted by several experts in the area, and provides a more direct proof of a…

Let S be the Stone space of a complete, non-atomic Boolean algebra. Let G be a countably infinite group of homeomorphisms of S. Let the action of G on S have a free dense orbit. Then we prove that, on a generic subset of S, the orbit…

Let X be a manifold with an action of a torus T such that all isotropy groups are connected and satisfying some other mild hypotheses. We provide a necessary and sufficient criterion for the T-equivariant cohomology of X with real…

For Reeb vector fields on closed 3-manifolds, cylindrical contact homology is used to show that the existence of a set of closed Reeb orbit with certain knotting/linking properties implies the existence of other Reeb orbits with other…

Based on the vertex-face correspondence, we give an algebraic analysis formulation of correlation functions of the $k\times k$ fusion eight-vertex model in terms of the corresponding fusion SOS model. Here $k\in Z_{>0}$. A general formula…

We prove that every homotopy class of almost contact structures on a closed 5-dimensional manifold admits a contact structure.

We investigate the join semilattice of modal operators on a Boolean algebra $B$. Furthermore, we consider pairs $(f,g)$ of modal operators whose supremum is the unary discriminator on $B$, and study the associated bi--modal algebras.

In this paper we develop the theory of operads, algebras and modules in cofibrantly generated symmetric monoidal model categories. We give J-semi model strucures, which are a slightly weaker version of model structures, for operads and…

Let $\Lambda^{\pm} = \Lambda^{+} \cup \Lambda^{-} \subset (\mathbb{R}^{3}, \xi_{std})$ be a contact surgery diagram determining a closed, connected contact $3$-manifold $(S^{3}_{\Lambda^{\pm}}, \xi_{\Lambda^{\pm}})$ and an open contact…

We generalize some facts about function algebras to operator algebras, using the `noncommutative Shilov boundary' or $C^*$-envelope first considered by Arveson. In the first part we study and characterize complete isometries between…

Let $\Lambda$ be a finite-dimensional associative algebra. The torsion classes of $mod\, \Lambda$ form a lattice under containment, denoted by $tors\, \Lambda$. In this paper, we characterize the cover relations in $tors\, \Lambda$ by…

Let X be a complex-projective contact manifold whose second Betti-number is one. It has long been conjectured that X should then be rational-homogeneous, or equivalently, that there exists an embedding of X into a projective space whose…
