The L'vov-Kaplansky conjecture states that the image of a multilinear noncommutative polynomial $f$ in the matrix algebra $M_n(K)$ is a vector space for every $n \in {\mathbb N}$. We prove this conjecture for the case where $f$ has degree…

We show that if X is a toric scheme over a regular ring containing a field then the direct limit of the K-groups of X taken over any infinite sequence of nontrivial dilations is homotopy invariant. This theorem was known in characteristic…

In a first objective we improve our understanding about surjective and bijective bounded linear operators preserving orthogonality from a JB$^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ into a JB$^*$-triple $E$. Among many other conclusions, it is shown that…

J{\'o}nsson and Tarski's notion of the perfect extension of a Boolean algebra with operators has evolved into an extensive theory of canonical extensions of lattice-based algebras. After reviewing this evolution we make two contributions.…

Jordan operator algebras are norm-closed spaces of operators on a Hilbert space with $a^2 \in A$ for all $a \in A$. We study noncommutative topology, noncommutative peak sets and peak interpolation, and hereditary subalgebras of Jordan…

Let $j:Y \to X$ be a continuous surjection of compact metric spaces. Whyburn proved that $j$ is irreducible, meaning that $j(F) \subsetneq X$ for any proper closed subset $F \subsetneq Y$, if and only if $j$ is almost one-to-one, in the…

For every algebraically closed field $\boldsymbol k$ of characteristic different from $2$, we prove the following: (1) Generic finite dimensional (not necessarily associative) $\boldsymbol k$-algebras of a fixed dimension, considered up to…

In this paper we prove the generalized Kaplansky conjecture for the Jordan algebras of the type $J_n$ in particular for self adjoint $2\times 2$ matrices over $\R$, over $\C$, $\HH$ and $\Oct$. In fact, we prove that the image of…

We extend unbounded Kasparov theory to encompass conformal group and quantum group equivariance. This new framework allows us to treat conformal actions on both manifolds and noncommutative spaces. As examples, we present unbounded…

We use techniques from both real and complex algebraic geometry to study K-theoretic and related invariants of the algebra C(X) of continuous complex-valued functions on a compact Hausdorff topological space X. For example, we prove a…

The purpose of this paper is to generalize a very famous result on products of normal operators, due to I. Kaplansky. The context of generalization is that of bounded hyponormal and unbounded normal operators on complex separable Hilbert…

This note consists of three unrelated remarks. First, we demonstrate how roughly speaking $*$-homomorphisms between matrix stable $C^*$-algebras are exactly the uniformly continuous $*$-preserving group homomorphisms between their genral…

Kadison's transitivity theorem implies that, for irreducible representations of C*-algebras, every invariant linear manifold is closed. It is known that CSL algebras have this propery if, and only if, the lattice is hyperatomic (every…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 2$, let $n \in \mathbb Z_{>0}$, and take $G$ to be one of the classical algebraic groups $\mathrm{GL}_n(k)$, $\mathrm{SL}_n(k)$, $\mathrm{Sp}_n(k)$, $\mathrm O_n(k)$ or…

We prove a central limit theorem for non-commutative random variables in a von Neumann algebra with a tracial state: Any non-commutative polynomial of averages of i.i.d. samples converges to a classical limit. The proof is based on a…

For bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms of a compact manifold it is known that topological entropy is always finite. For compact manifolds of dimension two or greater, we show that in the closure of the space of bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms, with…

We prove that every commutative JB$^*$-triple has numerical index one. We also revisit the notion of commutativity in JB$^*$-triples to show that a JBW$^*$-triple $M$ has numerical index one precisely when it is commutative, while…

We prove a Jordan version of Dorofeev's boundedness theorem for completely additive measues and use it to show that every (not necessarily linear nor continuous) 2-local triple derivation on a continuous JBW*-triple is a triple derivation.

We consider a family $\pi^i_j\colon B_i\rightarrow B_{ij}=B_{ji}$, $i,j\in \{1,2,3\}$, $i\neq j$, of $C^*$-epimorphisms assuming that it satisfies the cocycle condition. Then we show how to compute the $K$-groups of the multi-pullback…

We compare two known methods of extending a complex, unital, commutative normed algebra so as to include solutions to sets of monic polynomials over the original algebra. (One of these is a generalisation of a construction from the thesis…
