Let C(K) denote the Banach algebra of continuous real functions, with the supremum norm, on a compact Hausdorff space K. For two subsets of C(K), one can define their product by pointwise multiplication, just as the Minkowski sum of the…

We characterize those compact Hausdorff spaces K such that the proyective tensor product of C(K) by itself has the Dunford-Pettis Property, answering thus in the negative a question posed by Castillo and Gonzalez.

Suppose $X$ and $Y$ are locally compact Hausdorff spaces, $E$ and $F$ are Banach spaces and $F$ is strictly convex. We show that every linear isometry $T$ from $C_0(X,E)$ {\em into} $C_0(Y,F)$ is essentially a weighted composition operator…

We give a general version of Bryc's theorem valid on any topological space and with any algebra $\mathcal{A}$ of real-valued continuous functions separating the points, or any well-separating class. In absence of exponential tightness, and…

We investigate properties of the class of compact spaces on which every regular Borel measure is separable. This class will be referred to as MS. We discuss some closure properties of MS, and show that some simply defined compact spaces,…

A topological space is iso-dense if it has a dense set of isolated points. A topological space is scattered if each of its non-empty subspaces has an isolated point. In $\mathbf{ZF}$, in the absence of the axiom of choice, basic properties…

We characterize those algebras over a disconnected uniformly complete topological field which are representable as algebras of continuous functions on compact topological spaces, generalizing thus Gelfand duality for non-archimedean normed…

Following up on previous work, we prove a number of results for C*-algebras with the weak ideal property or topological dimension zero, and some results for C*-algebras with related properties. Some of the more important results include:…

We give examples on the use of the Stone-Weierstrass theorem in inverse problems. We show uniqueness in the linearized Calder\'on problem on holomorphically separable K\"ahler manifolds, and in the Calder\'on problem for nonlinear equations…

Given a quantum subgroup $G\subset U_n$ and a number $k\leq n$ we can form the homogeneous space $X=G/(G\cap U_k)$, and it follows from the Stone-Weierstrass theorem that $C(X)$ is the algebra generated by the last $n-k$ rows of coordinates…

We consider free algebraic actions of the additive group of complex numbers on a complex vector space X embedded in the complex projective space. We find an explicit formula for the map p that assigns to a generic point x in X the Chow…

We give a new proof, using comparatively simple techniques, of the Sullivan conjecture: the space of pointed maps from the classifying space of the cyclic group of order $p$ to any finite-dimensional CW complex $K$ is contractible.

We introduce two notions of a contractive orbit of a set-valued map defined in a first countable space. The first defines the contraction with respect to the topology of the underlying space while the second defines the contraction with…

We study the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property (BPBp for short) for compact operators. We present some abstract techniques which allows to carry the BPBp for compact operators from sequence spaces to function spaces. As main applications,…

We investigate computable metrizability of Polish spaces up to homeomorphism. In this paper we focus on Stone spaces. We use Stone duality to construct the first known example of a computable topological Polish space not homeomorphic to any…

In this short note we prove a theorem of the Stone-Weierstrass sort for subsets of the cone of non-decreasing continuous functions on compact partially ordered sets.

Let B(kappa, lambda) be the subalgebra of P(kappa) generated by [kappa]^{<= lambda}. It is shown that if B is any homomorphic image of B(kappa, lambda) then either |B|< 2^lambda or |B|=|B|^lambda, moreover if X is the Stone space of B then…

Gelfand-Naimark duality (Commutative $C^*$-algebras $\equiv$ Locally compact Hausdorff spaces) is extended to $C^*$-algebras $\equiv$ Quotient maps on locally compact Hausdorff spaces. Using this duality, we give for an \emph{arbitrary}…

(Write-up of a talk at the Bialowieza meeting, July 2007.) Gelfand and Kolmogorov in 1939 proved that a compact Hausdorff topological space $X$ can be canonically embedded into the infinite-dimensional vector space $C(X)^* $, the dual space…

We study ordered configuration spaces of compact manifolds with boundary. We show that for a large class of such manifolds, the real homotopy type of the configuration spaces only depends on the real homotopy type of the pair consisting of…
