Asimptotic dimension and Novikov-Shubin invariants for open manifolds

A trace on the C^*-algebra A of quasi-local operators on an open manifold is described, based on the results in \cite{RoeOpen}. It allows a description `a la Novikov-Shubin \cite{NS2} of the low frequency behavior of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. The 0-th Novikov-Shubin invariant defined in terms of such a trace is proved to coincide with a metric invariant, which we call asymptotic dimension, thus giving a large scale ``Weyl asymptotics'' relation. Moreover, in analogy with the Connes-Wodzicki result \cite{CoCMP,Co,Wo}, the asymptotic dimension d measures the singular traceability (at 0) of the Laplace-Beltrami operator, namely we may construct a (type II_1) singular trace which is finite on the $^*$-bimodule over A generated by $Δ^{-d/2}$.

A Baire Category Approach to the Bang-Bang Property

Aim of this paper is to develop a new technique, based on the Baire category theorem, in order to establish the closure of reachable sets and the existence of optimal trajectories for control systems, without the usual convexity assumptions. The bang-bang property is proved for a new class of ``concave" multifunctions, characterized by the existence of suitable linear selections. The proofs rely on Lyapunov's theorem in connection with a Baire category argument.

Extremal Selections of Multifunctions Generating a Continuous Flow

Let $F:[0,T]\times\R^n\mapsto 2^{\R^n}$ be a continuous multifunction with compact, not necessarily convex values. In this paper, we prove that, if $F$ satisfies the following Lipschitz Selection Property: \begin{itemize} \item[{(LSP)}] {\sl For every $t,x$, every $y\in \overline{co} F(t,x)$ and $\varepsilon>0$, there exists a Lipschitz selection $ϕ$ of $\overline{co}F$, defined on a neighborhood of $(t,x)$, with $|ϕ(t,x)-y|<\varepsilon$.} \end{itemize} then there exists a measurable selection $f$ of $ext F$\ such that, for every $x_0$, the Cauchy problem $$ \dot x(t)=f(t,x(t)),\qquad\qquad x(0)=x_0 $$ has a unique Caratheodory solution, depending continuously on $x_0$. We remark that every Lipschitz multifunction with compact values satisfies (LSP). Another interesting class, for which (LSP) holds, consists of those continuous multifunctions $F$ whose values are compact and have convex closure with nonempty interior.

Circle Actions on C*-Algebras, Partial Automorphisms and a Generalized Pimsner-Voiculescu Exact Sequence

We introduce a method to study C*-algebras possessing an action of the circle group, from the point of view of its internal structure and its K-theory. Under relatively mild conditions our structure Theorem shows that any C*-algebra, where an action of the circle is given, arises as the result of a construction that generalizes crossed products by the group of integers. Such a generalized crossed product construction is carried out for any partial automorphism of a C*-algebra, where by a partial automorphism we mean an isomorphism between two ideals of the given algebra. Our second main result is an extension to crossed products by partial automorphisms, of the celebrated Pimsner-Voiculescu exact sequence for K-groups. The representation theory of the algebra arising from our construction is shown to parallel the representation theory for C*-dynamical systems. In particular, we generalize several of the main results relating to regular and covariant representations of crossed products.

Dense m-convex Frechet Subalgebras of Operator Algebra Crossed Products by Lie Groups

Let A be a dense Frechet *-subalgebra of a C*-algebra B. (We do not require Frechet algebras to be m-convex.) Let G be a Lie group, not necessarily con- nected, which acts on both $A$ and B by *-automorphisms, and let \s be a sub- multiplicative function from G to the nonnegative real numbers. If \s and the action of G on A satisfy certain simple properties, we define a dense Frechet *-subalgebra G\rtimes^{\s} A of the crossed product L^{1}(G, B). Our algebra consists of differentiable A-valued functions on G, rapidly vanishing in \s. We give conditions on the action of G on A which imply the m-convexity of the dense subalgebra G\rtimes^{\s}A. A locally convex algebra is said to be m-con- vex if there is a family of submultiplicative seminorms for the topology of the algebra. The property of m-convexity is important for a Frechet algebra, and is useful in modern operator theory. If G acts as a transformation group on a manifold M, we develop a class of dense subalgebras for the crossed product L^{1}(G, C_{0}(M)), where C_{0}(M) denotes the continuous functions on M vanishing at infinity with the sup norm topology.We define Schwartz functions S(M) on M, which are differentiable with respect to some group action on M, and are rapidly vanishing with respect to some scale on M. We then form a dense m-convex Frechet *-subalgebra G\rtimes^ {\s} S(M) of rapidly vanishing, G-differentiable functions from G to S(M). If the reciprocal of \s is in L^{p}(G) for some p, we prove that our group algebras S^{\s}(G) are nuclear Frechet spaces, and that G\rtimes^{\s}A is the projective completion S^{\s}(G) \otimes A.

Interpolated free group factors

The interpolated free group factors L(F_r), 1 < r <= \infty, are defined and proofs of their properties with respect to compression by projections and taking free products are proved. Hence it follows that all the free group factor are isomorphic to each other or none of them are. These factors were defined and these properties were proved independently by F. Radulescu, and those given in this paper are equivalent, but use different techniques. Specifically, we develop algebraic techniques that allow us to show that R*R = L(F_2), where R is the hyperfinite II_1 factor.

The free abelian topological group and the free locally convex space on the unit interval

We give a complete description of the topological spaces $X$ such that the free abelian topological group $A(X)$ embeds into the free abelian topological group $A(I)$ of the closed unit interval. In particular, the free abelian topological group $A(X)$ of any finite-dimensional compact metrizable space $X$ embeds into $A(I)$. The situation turns out to be somewhat different for free locally convex spaces. Some results for the spaces of continuous functions with the pointwise topology are also obtained. Proofs are based on the classical Kolmogorov's Superposition Theorem.

A Fredholm Operator Approach To Morita Equivalence

Given C*-algebras A and B and an imprimitivity A-B-bimodule X, we construct an explicit isomorphism X_* : K_i(A) --> K_i(B) where K_i denote the complex K-theory functors for i=0, 1. Our techniques do not require separability nor existence of countable approximate identities. We thus extend, to general C*-algebras, the result of Brown, Green and Rieffel according to which strongly Morita equivalent C*-algebras have isomorphic K-groups. The method employed includes a study of Fredholm operators on Hilbert modules.

On the outer automorphism groups of triangular alternation limit algebras

Let $A$ denote the alternation limit algebra, studied by Hopenwasser and Power, and by Poon, which is the closed direct limit of upper triangular matrix algebras determined by refinement embeddings of multiplicity $r_k$ and standard embeddings of multiplicity $s_k$. It is shown that the quotient of the isometric automorphism group by the approximately inner automorphisms is the abelian group $ \ZZ ^d$ where $d$ is the number of primes that are divisors of infinitely many terms of each of the sequences $(r_k)$ and $(s_k)$. This group is also the group of automorphisms of the fundamental relation of $A$.

On a groupoid construction for actions of certain inverse semigroups

We consider a version of the notion of F-inverse semigroup (studied in the algebraic theory of inverse semigroups). We point out that an action of such an inverse semigroup on a locally compact space has associated a natural groupoid construction, very similar to the one of a transformation group. We discuss examples related to Toeplitz algebras on subsemigroups of discrete groups,to Cuntz-Krieger algebras, and to crossed-products by partial automorphisms in the sense of Exel.

Metric and Generalized Projection Operators in Banach Spaces: Properties and Applications

Metric projection operators can be defined in similar wayin Hilbert and Banach spaces. At the same time, they differ signifitiantly in their properties. Metric projection operator in Hilbert space is a monotone and nonexpansive operator. It provides an absolutely best approximation for arbitrary elements from Hilbert space by the elements of convex closed sets . This leads to a variety of applications of this operator for investigating theoretical questions in analysis and for approximation methods. Metric projection operators in Banach space do not have properties mentioned above and their applications are not straightforward. Two of the most important applications of the method of metric projection operators are as follows: 1. Solve a variational inequality by the iterative-projection method, 2. Find common point of convex sets by the iterative-projection method. In Banach space these problems can not be solved in the framework of metric projection operators. Therefore, in the present paper we introduce new generalized projection operators in Banach space as a natural generalization of metric projection operators in Hilbert space. In Sections 2 and 3 we introduce notations and recall some results from the theory of variational inequalities and theory of approximation. Then in Sections 4 and 5 we describe the properties of metric projection operators $P_Ω$ in Hilbert and Banach spaces and also formulate equivalence theorems between variational inequalities and direct projection equations with these

A New Approach to Investigation of Evolution Differential Equations in Banach Spaces

Known investigations of nonlinear evolution equations $${dx\over dt} + A(t)x(t) = f(t)\ ,\quad x(t_{0}) = x^{0},\ \quad t_{0} \le t < \infty\ , \eqno(0.1)$$ with monotone operators $A(t)$ acting from reflexive Banach space $B$ to dual space $B^*$, usually assume that along with $B$ and $B^*$ there is a Hilbert space $H$ and continuous imbedding $B \hookrightarrow H$ in the triplet $$B \hookrightarrow H \hookrightarrow B^*\ ; \eqno(0.2)$$ and that $B$ is dense in $H$. The stabilization of solutions of evolution equations has been proven either in the sense of weak convergence in $B$ or in the norm of $H$ space, and only asymptotic estimates of stabilization rate have been obtained [15]. In the present paper we consider equations of type (0.1) without conditions (0.2) and establish stabilization with both

Infinite-Dimensional Geometry of the Universal Deformation of the Complex Disk

The universal deformation of the complex disk is studied from the viewpoint of infinite-dimensional geometry. The structure of a subsymmetric space on the universal deformation is described. The foliation of the universal deformation by subsymmetry mirrors is shown to determine a real polarization. The subject of the paper maybe of interest to specialists in algebraic geometry and representation theory as well as to researchers dealing with mathematical problems of modern quantum field theory. Contents. I. The infinite-dimensional geometry of the flag manifold of the Virasoro-Bott group (the base of the universal deformation of the complex disk). II. The infinite-dimensional geometry of the skeleton of the flag manifold of the Virasoro-Bott group. III. The infinite-dimensional geometry of the universal deformation of the complex disk.

Order Preservation in Limit Algebras

The matrix units of a digraph algebra, A, induce a relation, known as the diagonal order, on the projections in a masa in the algebra. Normalizing partial isometries in A act on these projections by conjugation; they are said to be order preserving when they respect the diagonal order. Order preserving embeddings, in turn, are those embeddings which carry order preserving normalizers to order preserving normalizers. This paper studies operator algebras which are direct limits of finite dimensional algebras with order preserving embeddings. We give a complete classification of direct limits of full triangular matrix algebras with order preserving embeddings. We also investigate the problem of characterizing algebras with order preserving embeddings.

Crossed product decompositions of a purely infinite von Neumann algebra with faithful, almost periodic weight

For $\MvN$ a separable, purely infinite von Neumann algebra with almost periodic weight $ϕ$, a decomposition of $\MvN$ as a crossed product of a semifinite von Neumann algebra by a trace--scaling action of a countable abelian group is given. Then Takasaki's continuous decomposition of the same algebra is related to the above discrete decomposition via Takesaki's notion of induced action, but here one induces up from a dense subgroup. The above results are used to give a model for the one--parameter trace--scaling action of $\Real_+$ on the injective II$_\infty$ factor. Finally, another model of the same action, due to work of Aubert and explained by Jones, is described.

Regular Lie groups and a theorem of Lie-Palais

In 1984 Milnor had shown how to deduce the Lie-Palais theorem on integration of infinitesimal actions of finite-dimensional Lie algebras on compact manifolds from general theory of regular Lie groups modelled on locally convex spaces. We show how, in the case of effective action, one can eliminate from Milnor's argument the abstract Lie-Cartan theorem, making the deduction rather elementary. A machinery employed in the proof provides a partial solution to a problem examined in 1972 by van Est and Świerczkowski.

Twisted Partial Actions, A Classification of Stable C*-Algebraic Bundles (Preliminary Version)

We introduce the notion of continuous twisted partial actions of a locally compact group on a C*-algebra. With such, we construct an associated C*-algebraic bundle called the semidirect product bundle. Our main theorem shows that, given any C*-algebraic bundle which is second countable and whose unit fiber algebra is stable, there is a continuous twisted partial action of the base group on the unit fiber algebra, whose associated semidirect product bundle is isomorphic to the given one.
