We establish axiomatic characterizations of $K$-theory and $KK$-theory for real C*-algebras. In particular, let $F$ be an abelian group-valued functor on separable real C*-algebras. We prove that if $F$ is homotopy invariant, stable, and…

We consider tracial stability, which requires that tuples of elements of a C*-algebra with a trace that nearly satisfy the relation are close to tuples that actually satisfy the relation. Here both "near" and "close" are in terms of the…

We generalise the Elliptical Range Theorem to characterise the numerical range of matrices belonging to a subspace of the space of \(3 \times 3\) matrices. Using Specht's Theorem, which characterizes when two matrices are unitarily…

We prove that every biorthogonality preserving linear surjection from a weakly compact JB$^*$triple containing no infinite dimensional rank-one summands onto another JB$^*$-triple is automatically continuous. We also show that every…

Let A and B be $C^*$-algebras, A separable, and B $\sigma$-unital and stable. It is shown that there are natural isomorphisms $E(A,B)=KK(SA,Q(B))=[SA,Q(B)\otimes K]$, where $SA=C_0(0,1)\otimes A$, $[\cdot,\cdot]$ denotes the set of homotopy…

The three-algebras used by Bagger and Lambert in N=6 theories of ABJM type are in one-to-one correspondence with a certain type of Lie superalgebras. We show that the description of three-algebras as generalized Jordan triple systems…

The subspace of the moduli space of F-theory on K3 over which the coupling remains constant develops new branches at special values of this coupling. These values correspond to fixed points under the SL(2,Z) duality group of the type IIB…

Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 2. We consider analogues of the Jacobson-Morozov theorem in this setting. More precisely, we classify those nilpotent elements with a simple…

Garret Birkhoff's HSP theorem characterizes the classes of models of algebraic theories as those being closed with respect to homomorphic images, subalgebras, and products. In particular, it implies that an algebra $\mathbf{B}$ satisfies…

Let $E,F$ be two topological spaces and $u:E\rightarrow F$ be a map. \ If $F$ is Haudorff and $u$ is continuous, then its graph is closed. \ \ The Closed Graph Theorem establishes the converse when $E$ and $F$ are suitable objects of…

This paper is concerned with the algebraic K-theory of locally convex algebras stabilized by operator ideals, and its comparison with topological K-theory. We show that the obstruction for the comparison map between algebraic and…

We prove a $C^\infty$ closing lemma for Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of closed surfaces. This is a consequence of a $C^\infty$ closing lemma for Reeb flows on closed contact three-manifolds, which was recently proved as an application of…

In 1878, Jordan showed that a finite subgroup of GL(n,C) contains an abelian normal subgroup whose index is bounded by a function of n alone. Previously, the author has given precise bounds. Here, we consider analogues for finite linear…

Let End(V) denote the ring of all linear transformations of an arbitrary k-vector space V over a field k. We define a subset X of End(V) to be "triangularizable" if V has a well-ordered basis such that X sends each vector in that basis to…

We consider the planar unit disk $\mathbb D$ as the reference configuration and a Jordan domain $\mathbb Y$ as the deformed configuration, and study the problem of extending a given boundary homeomorphism $\varphi \colon \partial \mathbb D…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $K$. The number of torsion points that are rational over a finite extension $L$ is bounded polynomially in terms of the degree $[L:K]$ of $L$ over $K$. Under the following three…

We argue that some supersymmetric multiplets can naturally be equipped with the structure of an open-closed homotopy algebra. This structure is readily described through the pure spinor superfield formalism, which in particular associates a…

Let $f:X\times Y\times Z\longrightarrow W $ be a bounded tri-linear map on normed spaces. We say that $f$ is close-to-regular when $f^{t****s}=f^{s****t}$ and we say that $f$ is completely regular when all natural extensions are equal. In…

A theorem is presented on existence and uniqueness up to the topological *-isomorphism of universal locally C*-algebra for an arbitrary locally JB-algebra.

We give complete descriptions of the tracial states on both the universal and reduced crossed products of a C*-dynamical system consisting of a unital C*-algebra and a discrete group. In particular, we also answer the question of when the…
