In \cite{F} J.F. Feinstein constructed a compact plane set $X$ such that $R(X)$ has no non-zero, bounded point derivations but is not weakly amenable. In the same paper he gave an example of a separable uniform algebra $A$ such that every…

We show that for any infinite set $A$ in ${\mathbb R}$, there exists a compact set $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ of positive Lebesgue measure that does not contain any non-trivial affine copy of $A$. This proves the Erd\"os similarity…

It is shown that there exists a normal uniform algebra, on a compact metrizable space, that fails to be strongly regular at some peak point. This answers a 31-year-old question of Joel Feinstein. Our example is R(K) for a certain compact…

It has been a longstanding problem whether every amenable operator algebra is isomorphic to a (necessarily nuclear) C*-algebra. In this note, we give a nonseparable counterexample. The existence of a separable counterexample remains an open…

A remarkable example of a nonempty closed convex set in the Euclidean plane for which the directional derivative of the metric projection mapping fails to exist was constructed by A. Shapiro. In this paper, we revisit and modify that…

We provide a ZFC example of a compact space K such that C(K)* is w*-separable but its closed unit ball is not w*-separable. All previous examples of such kind had been constructed under CH. We also discuss the measurability of the supremum…

We give an example of a planar set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^2$ for which the boundary $\partial E_\varepsilon$ of its $\varepsilon$-neighbourhood $E_\varepsilon = \{x \in \mathbb{R}^2 \, : \, \textrm{dist}(x, E) \leq \varepsilon \}$ is nowhere…

We give an example of a computably enumerable closed subset of [0,1] that is not homeomorphic to any computably compact space. This answers a question of Koh, Melnikov and Ng.

We give a survey of the known connections between regularity conditions and amenability conditions in the setting of uniform algebras. For a uniform algebra $A$ we consider the set, $A_{lc}$, of functions in $A$ which are locally constant…

For each vector $x\in \ell^{\infty}$, we can define the non-empty compact set $L_x$ of accumulation points of $x$. Given an infinite subset $A$ of $\mathbb{N}\backslash\{1\}$, we can therefore investigate under which conditions on $A$, the…

Inverse limits, unlike direct limits, can in general be void, [1]. The existence of fixed points for arbitrary mappings $T : X \longrightarrow X$ is conjectured to be equivalent with the fact that related direct limits of all finite…

A real X is defined to be relatively c.e. if there is a real Y such that X is c.e.(Y) and Y does not compute X. A real X is relatively simple and above if there is a real Y <_T X such that X is c.e.(Y) and there is no infinite subset Z of…

We prove that weak amenability of a locally compact group imposes a strong condition on its amenable closed normal subgroups. This extends non weak amenability results of Haagerup (1988) and Ozawa--Popa (2010). A von Neumann algebra…

For a separable locally compact but not compact metrizable space $X$, let $\alpha X = X \cup \{x_\infty\}$ be the one-point compactification with the point at infinity $x_\infty$. We denote by $EM(X)$ the space consisting of admissible…

Let $A$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra generated by some separable operator system $S$. More than a decade ago, Arveson conjectured that $S$ is hyperrigid in $A$ if all irreducible representations of $A$ are boundary representations for $S$.…

In this brief note, we provide an example of non complete locally convex space $E$ with a $\sigma(E, E^*)$ closed bounded subset $C\subset E$, which is not $\sigma(E, E^*)$-compact, even if every $\varphi\in E^*$ attains its sup over $C$.

We give necessary conditions for the existence of a compact manifold locally modelled on a given homogeneous space, which generalize some earlier results, in terms of relative Lie algebra cohomology. Applications include both reductive and…

The paper is devoted to the study of extremal points of $\mathcal{C}$, the family of all two-variate coherent distributions on $[0,1]^2$. It is well-known that the set $\mathcal{C}$ is convex and weak$^*$ compact, and all extreme points of…

A Steinhaus set $S \subseteq \RR^d$ for a set $A \subseteq \RR^d$ is a set such that $S$ has exactly one point in common with $\tau A$, for every rigid motion $\tau$ of $\RR^d$. We show here that if $A$ is a finite set of at least two…

Le Roux and Ziegler asked whether every simply connected compact nonempty planar co-c.e. closed set always contains a computable point. In this paper, we solve the problem of le Roux and Ziegler by showing that there exists a contractible…
