In the spirit of Ray and Singer we define a complex valued analytic torsion using non-selfadjoint Laplacians. We establish an anomaly formula which permits to turn this into a topological invariant. Conjecturally this analytically defined…

While it is clear that in some kinematic regime QCD can be described by an effective (as opposed to fundamental) string theory, it is not at all clear how this string theory should be. The `natural' candidate, the bosonic string, leads to…

In an earlier paper, the authors introduced partial translation algebras as a generalisation of group C*-algebras. Here we establish an extension of partial translation algebras, which may be viewed as an excision theorem in this context.…

We describe both the Bunce-Deddens C*-algebras and their Toeplitz versions, as crossed products of commutative C*-algebras by partial automorphisms. In the latter case, the commutative algebra has, as its spectrum, the union of the Cantor…

The interactions of $\rho$, $K^*$, $\phi$ and $\omega$ vector-mesons with low-momentum $\pi$, $K$ and $\eta$ pseudoscalar mesons are constrained by chiral symmetry. We derive a heavy vector-meson chiral Lagrangian in which the vector mesons…

We analyze the sequence obtained by consecutive applications of the Cantor-Bendixson derivative for a noncommutative scattered $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal A$, using the ideal $\mathcal I^{At}(\mathcal A)$ generated by the minimal projections of…

We prove that there exists a C*-diagonal with Cantor spectrum in the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_k$ for $2 \le k < \infty$. Our method generalises to an uncountable family of UCT Kirchberg algebras with distinct K-theory. Moreover, we…

It is known that some cosmological perturbations are conformal invariant. This facilitates the studies of perturbations within some gravitational theories alternative to general relativity, for example the scalar-tensor theory, because it…

We define E-theory for separable C*-algebras over second countable topological spaces and establish its basic properties. This includes an approximation theorem that relates the E-theory over a general space to the E-theories over finite…

The Ray-Singer isospectral theorem (1971) is applied to a general spectral function for Laplacians of twisted p-forms (say) on homogeneous Clifford-Klein factors of the three-sphere. The inducing formulae necessary to express any spectral…

We define united K-theory for real C*-algebras, generalizing Bousfield's topological united K-theory. United K-theory incorporates three functors -- real K-theory, complex K-theory, and self-conjugate K-theory -- and the natural…

We introduce and investigate some examples of C$^*$-algebras which are related to multiplication maps in the ring of $p$-adic integers. We find ideals within these algebras and use the corresponding short exact sequences to compute the…

The celebrated Kadison--Sakai theorem states that every derivation on a von Neumann algebra is inner. In this paper, we prove this theorem for ultraweakly continuous *-\sigma-derivations, where \sigma is an ultraweakly continuous surjective…

In the paper we obtain some new applications of well--known W. Rudin's theorem concerning lacunary series to problems of combinatorial number theory. We generalize a result of M.-C. Chang on L_2 (L)-norm of Fourier coefficients of a set…

We prove a double commutant theorem for separable subalgebras of a wide class of corona C*-algebras, largely resolving a problem posed by Pedersen. Double commutant theorems originated with von Neumann, whose seminal result evolved into an…

We reduce the principal problem of Additive Number Theory of whether an infinite sequence of integers constitutes a finite basis for the integers to a Diophantine problem involving the difference set of the sequence, by proving a formula…

Using a result of Robertson \textit{[Proc. Edinburgh Math. Soc. (2), 1976]}, we introduce a notion of differentiation of maps on certain classes of unital commutative C*-algebras. We then derive C*-algebraic Gauss-Lucas theorem and…

The Lagrange problem is established in the discrete field theory subject to constraints with values in a Lie group. For the admissible sections that satisfy a certain regularity condition, we prove that the critical sections of such…

Euler's difference table associated to the sequence $\{n!\}$ leads naturally to the counting formula for the derangements. In this paper we study Euler's difference table associated to the sequence $\{\ell^n n!\}$ and the generalized…

In the theory of C*-algebras, interesting noncommutative structures arise as deformations of the tensor product. For instance, the rotation algebra may be seen as a scalar twist deformation of the tensor product of the functions on the…
