The following results are proved: (a) In a model obtained by adding aleph_2 Cohen reals, there is always a c.c.c. complete Boolean algebra without the weak Freese-Nation property. (b) Modulo the consistency strength of a supercompact…

The notion of entropy appears in many fields and this paper is a survey about entropies in several branches of Mathematics. We are mainly concerned with the topological and the algebraic entropy in the context of continuous endomorphisms of…

We compare the forcing related properties of a complete Boolean algebra B with the properties of the convergences $\lambda_s$ (the algebraic convergence) and $\lambda_{ls}$ on B generalizing the convergence on the Cantor and Aleksandrov…

Let $B$ be an affine $k$-domain which admits a nontrivial fundamental pair $(D,U)$ of locally nilpotent derivations, i.e., if $E=[D,U]$ then $(D,U,E)$ is an $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-triple. We prove an algebraic criterion, characterizing under…

$\mathop{\rm rp}\nolimits ({\mathbb B})$ denotes the reduced power ${\mathbb B}^\omega /\Phi$ of a Boolean algebra ${\mathbb B}$, where $\Phi$ is the Fr\'{e}chet filter $\Phi$ on $\omega$. We investigate iterated reduced powers…

We characterize the class of RFD $C^*$-algebras as those containing a dense subset of elements that attain their norm under a finite-dimensional representation. We show further that this subset is the whole space precisely when every…

Given a Boolean algebra B and an embedding e:B -> P(N)/fin we consider the possibility of extending each or some automorphism of B to the whole P(N)/fin. Among other things, we show, assuming CH, that for a wide class of Boolean algebras…

The original theme of the paper is the existence proof of ``there is < eta_alpha : alpha < lambda > which is a (lambda,J)-sequence for < I_i:i<delta >, a sequence of ideals. This can be thought of as in a generalization to Luzin sets and…

In this note we study in a finite dimensional Lie algebra ${\mathfrak g}$ the set of all those elements x for which the closed convex hull of the adjoint orbit contains no affine lines; this contains in particular elements whose adjoint…

We show that, if S is a finite semiring, then the free profinite S-semimodule on a Boolean Stone space X is isomorphic to the algebra of all S-valued measures on X, which are finitely additive maps from the Boolean algebra of clopens of X…

We construct a C*-algebra that has only one irreducible representation up to unitary equivalence but is not isomorphic to the algebra of compact operators on any Hilbert space. This answers an old question of Naimark. Our construction uses…

We obtain a forcing construction that shows that it is consistent that the torsion-free Abelian group $\mathbb{Q}^{(\lambda)}$ admits a Hausdorff group topology which is also $\mathcal{U}$-compact and contains no non-trivial convergent…

We study which von Neumann algebras can be embedded into uniform Roe algebras and quasi-local algebras associated to a uniformly locally finite metric space $X$. Under weak assumptions, these $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras contain embedded copies…

We deal with some pcf investigations mostly motivated by abelian group theory problems and deal their applications to test problems (we expect reasonably wide applications). We prove almost always the existence of aleph_omega-free abelian…

Abstractly, the generic extensions after $\aleph_\omega$-many Cohen reals and $\aleph_{\omega+1}$-many Cohen reals must be different for reasons of uniform density the relevant Boolean algebras. Nevertheless this is not satisfying and it…

Examples of (strongly continuous) one-parameter groups of automorphisms of UHF C*-algebras are given. One example has the property that the infinitesimal generator does not have a union of finite-dimensional subalgebras as a core. (This…

We prove that the stable endomorphism algebra of a module without self-extensions over a special biserial algebra is a gentle algebra. In particular, it is again special biserial. As a consequence, any algebra which is derived equivalent to…

We prove that no quantifier-free formula in the language of group theory can define the $\aleph_1$-half graph in a Polish group, thus generalising some results from [6]. We then pose some questions on the space of groups of automorphisms of…

We introduce the notion of a coherent $P$-ultrafilter on a complete ccc Boolean algebra, strenghtening the notion of a $P$-point on $\omega$, and show that these ultrafilters exist generically under ${\mathfrak c} = {\mathfrak d}$. This…

We prove that for an endomorphism $f$ of an abelian manifold defined over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic, $ \chi_ {2q} (f) = \lambda_q (f) $. Note that this paper is based on recent results due to Fei Hu…
