Let $ \mathcal{S}(p) $ be the class of all meromorphic univalent functions defined in the unit disc $ \mathbb{D} $ of the complex plane with a simple pole at $ z=p $ and normalized by the conditions $ f(0)=0 $ and $ f^{\prime}(0)=1 $. In…

The Corona Factorization Property, originally invented to study extensions of C*-algebras, conveys essential information about the intrinsic structure of the C*-algebras. We show that the Corona Factorization Property of a \sigma-unital…

We consider the space of matrices, with given number of rows and of columns, equipped with the classic trace scalar product. With any matrix (source) norm, we associate a coupling, called Capra, between the space of matrices and itself.…

Domain theory has its origins in Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science. Mathematically it combines order and topology. Its central concepts have their origin in the idea of approximating ideal objects by their relatively finite or,…

In this article we survey some of the recent goings-on in the classification programme of C$^*$-algebras, following the interesting link found between the Cuntz semigroup and the classical Elliott invariant and the fact that the Elliott…

We investigate Cuntz-Pimsner $C^*$-algebras associated with certain correspondences of the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$. We analyze these $C^*$-algebras by analogy with irrational rotation algebras $A_\theta$ and Cuntz algebras $\mathcal{O}_n$.…

The $k$-rank numerical range $\Lambda_{k}(A)$ is expressed via an intersection of a countable family of numerical ranges $\{F(M^{*}_{\nu}AM_{\nu})\}_{\nu\in\mathbb{N}}$ with respect to $n\times (n-k+1)$ isometries $M_{\nu}$. This…

Kendall rank correlation coefficient is used to measure the ordinal association between two measurements. In this paper, we introduce the Concordance coefficient as a generalization of the Kendall rank correlation, and illustrate its use to…

A category is described to which the Cuntz semigroup belongs and as a functor into which it preserves inductive limits.

We introduce a notion of mean cohomological independence dimension for actions of discrete amenable groups on compact metrizable spaces, as a variant of mean dimension, and use it to obtain lower bounds for the radius of comparison of the…

We develop new techniques for the construction and classification of representations of row-finite and locally convex higher-rank graph C*-algebras O. This class includes Cuntz--Krieger algebras associated to row-finite directed graphs. Our…

In this paper we analyse the structure of the Cuntz semigroup of certain $C(X)$-algebras, for compact spaces of low dimension, that have no $\mathrm{K}_1$-obstruction in their fibres in a strong sense. The techniques developed yield…

In this paper we study structural properties of the Cuntz semigroup and its functionals for continuous fields of C*-algebras over finite dimensional spaces. In a variety of cases, this leads to an answer to a conjecture posed by Blackadar…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the class of all analytic functions $f$ defined in the open unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ with the normalization $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$ and let $P'$ be the class of functions $f\in\mathcal{A}$ such that ${\rm{Re}}\,f'(z)>0$,…

A class of C*-algebras is described for which the homomorphism from $C_0(0,1]$ to the algebra may be classified by means of the Cuntz semigroup functor. Examples are given of algebras--simple and non-simple--for which this classification…

We introduce the decomposition rank, a notion of covering dimension for nuclear C^*-algebras. The decomposition rank generalizes ordinary covering dimension and has nice permanence properties; in particular, it behaves well with respect to…

In practice, a ranking of objects with respect to given set of criteria is of considerable importance. However, due to lack of knowledge, information of time pressure, decision makers might not be able to provide a (crisp) ranking of…

Ranks estimated from data are uncertain and this poses a challenge in many applications. However, estimated ranks are deterministic functions of estimated parameters, so the uncertainty in the ranks must be determined by the uncertainty in…

For a class of integral operators with kernels metric functions on manifold we find some necessary and sufficient conditions to have finite rank. The problem we pose has a stochastic nature and boils down to the following alternative…

In this article, we establish an improvement of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality. Let $x, y \in \mathcal{H},$ and let $f: (0,1) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^+$ be a well-defined function, where $\mathbb{R}^+$ denote the set of all positive real…
