Let $S_{n}$ denote the space of all $n \times n$ real symmetric matrices. For n=2 or n>2 we characterize maps F from $S_{n}$ to $S_{m}$ which preserve adjacency, i.e. if rank(A-B)=1, then rank(F(A)-F(B))=1.

We prove that every orientation-preserving homeomorphism of Euclidean space can be expressed as a commutator of two orientation-preserving homeomorphisms. We give an analogous result for annuli. In the annulus case, we also extend the…

It is proved that for a Jacobi pair $(F,G)\in C[x,y]^2$, the Keller mapping: $(a,b)\mapsto(F(a,b),G(a,b))$ for $(a,b)\in C^2$, is injective. In particular, the $2$-dimensional Jacobi conjecture holds.

We prove a generalization of the fixed point theorem of Cartwright and Littlewood. Namely, suppose $h : \mathbb{R}^2 \to\mathbb{R}^2$ is an orientation preserving planar homeomorphism, and let $C$ be a continuum such that $h^{-1}(C)\cup C$…

We establish a version of von Staudt's theorem on mappings which preserve harmonic quadruples for projective lines over (not necessarily commutative) rings with "sufficiently many" units, in particular 2 has to be a unit.

We show that for every "locally finite" unit-preserving completely positive map P acting on a C*-algebra, there is a corresponding *-automorphism \alpha of another unital C*-algebra such that the two sequences P, P^2,P^3,... and \alpha,…

A theorem due to Cartan asserts that every origin-preserving automorphism of bounded circular domains with respect to the origin is linear. In the present paper, by employing the theory of Bergman's representative domain, we prove that…

Let $C$ be a general unital AH-algebra and let $A$ be a unital simple $C^*$-algebra with tracial rank at most one. Suppose that $\phi, \psi: C\to A$ are two unital monomorphisms. We show that $\phi$ and $\psi$ are approximately unitarily…

The purpose of this short note is to prove that if $A$ and $B$ are unital C*-algebras and $\phi : A \to B$ is a unital *-preserving ring homomorphism, then $\phi$ is contractive; i.e., $\| \phi (a) \| \leq \| a \|$ for all $a \in A$. (Note…

We construct an almost everywhere approximately differentiable, orientation and measure preserving homeomorphism of a unit $n$-dimensional cube onto itself, whose Jacobian is equal to $-1$ a.e. Moreover we prove that our homeomorphism can…

Let $C_2$ be the cyclic group of order two. We present a structure theorem for the $RO(C_2)$-graded Bredon cohomology of $C_2$-spaces using coefficients in the constant Mackey functor $\underline{\mathbb{F}_2}.$ We show that, as a module…

We consider a class of graphs subject to certain restrictions, including the finiteness of diameters. Any surjective mapping $\phi:\Gamma\to\Gamma'$ between graphs from this class is shown to be an isomorphism provided that the following…

Why withdrawn: Main theorem can only be proved, if the flag manifold F with b2=1 is additionally hermitian symmetric.Mistake made at the following place: If F is not hermitian symmetric, certain vector fields are not left invariant

We prove the following. If $f$ is a harmonic quasiconformal mapping between the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and a spatial domain with $C^{1,\alpha}$ boundary, then $f$ is Lipschitz continuous in $B$. This generalizes some known results for…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, $K[x,y]$ be the polynomial ring in two variables. Let $\phi=(f, g)$ be an endomorphism of $K[x,y]$. It is proved that if $\phi$ maps each coordinate to a generator of some proper retract, then it…

We prove that any weakly acausal curve $\Gamma$ in the boundary of Anti-de Sitter (2+1)-space is the asymptotic boundary of two spacelike $K$-surfaces, one of which is past-convex and the other future-convex, for every $K\in(-\infty,-1)$.…

We prove that the jacobian Newton diagram of the holomorphic mapping $(f,g):(C^2,0)\to(C^2,0)$ depends only on the equisingularity class of the pair of curves $f=0$ and $g=0$.

This paper studies the behavior under iteration of the maps T_{ab}(x,y)=(F_{ab}(x)-y,x) of the plane R^2, in which F_{ab}(x)=ax if x>=0 and bx if x<0. The orbits under iteration correspond to solutions of the nonlinear difference equation…

We present some evidence that noncommutative Yang-Mills theory in two dimensions is not invariant under area preserving diffeomorphisms, at variance with the commutative case. Still, invariance under linear unimodular maps survives, as is…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space which is locally absolutely retract and let $\phi: C(X)\to C(Y, M_n)$ be a unital homomorphism, where $Y$ is a compact metric space with ${\rm dim}Y\le 2.$ It is proved that there exists a sequence of $n$…
