The main result of this paper is the theorem in the title. Only special cases of it seem to be known so far. As an application, we obtain a result on the unique extension of Galois connexions. As a matter of fact, it is only by the use of Galois connexions that we obtain the main result, in its present generality.

Humans and other animals often need to balance the desire to gather sensory information (to make the best choice) with the urgency to act, facing a speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT). Given the ubiquity of SAT across species, extensive research has been devoted to understanding the computational mechanisms allowing its regulation at different timescales, including from one context to another, and from one decision to another. However, animals must frequently change their SAT on even shorter timescales - i.e., over the course of an ongoing decision - and little is known about the mechanisms that allow such rapid adaptations. The present study aimed at addressing this issue. Human subjects performed a decision task with changing evidence. In this task, subjects received rewards for correct answers but incurred penalties for mistakes. An increase or a decrease in penalty occurring halfway through the trial promoted rapid SAT shifts, favoring speeded decisions either in the early or in the late stage of the trial. Importantly, these shifts were associated with stage-specific adjustments in the accuracy criterion exploited for committing to a choice. Those subjects who decreased the most their accuracy criterion at a given decision stage exhibited the highest gain in speed, but also the highest cost in terms of performance accuracy at that time. Altogether, the current findings offer a unique extension of previous work, by suggesting that dynamic changes in accuracy criterion allow the regulation of the SAT within the timescale of a single decision.

Abstract We develop a completely bounded counterpart to the noncommutative Choquet boundary of an operator space. We show how the class of completely bounded linear maps is too large to accommodate our purposes. To overcome this obstacle, we isolate the subset of completely bounded linear maps admitting a dilation of the same norm that is multiplicative on the associated C*-algebra. We view such maps as analogs of the familiar unital completely contractive maps, and we exhibit many of their structural properties. Of particular interest to us are those maps that are extremal with respect to a natural dilation order. We establish the existence of extremals and show that they have a certain unique extension property. In particular, they give rise to *-homomorphisms that we use to associate to any representation of an operator space an entire scale of C*-envelopes. We conjecture that these C*-envelopes are all *-isomorphic and verify this in some important cases.

Let X be an infinite dimensional normed linear space over the complex field Z. X will not be complete, in general, and its completion will be denoted by . If ℬ(X) is the algebra of all bounded linear operators in X then T ∈ ℬ(X) has a unique extension and . The resolvent set of T ∈ ℬ(X) is defined to beand the spectrum of T is the complement of ρ(T) in Z.

AbstractLet φ be a continuous nonzero homomorphism of the convolution algebra L1loc(R+) and also the unique extension of this homomorphism to Mloc(R+). We show that the map φis continuous in the weak* and strong opertor topologies on Mloc, considered as the dual space of Cc(R+) and as the multiplier algebra of L1loc. Analogous results are proved for homomorphism from L1 [0, a) to L1 [0, b). For each convolution algebra L1 (ω1), φ restricts to a continuous homomorphism from some L1 (ω1) to some L1 (ω2), and, for each sufficiently large L1 (ω2), φ restricts to a continuous homomorphism from some L1 (ω1) to L1 (ω2). We also determine which continuous homomorphisms between weighted convolution algebras extend to homomorphisms of L1loc. We also prove results on convergent nets, continuous semigroups, and bounded sets in Mloc that we need in our study of homomorphisms.

AbstractLet $v$ be a henselian valuation of a field $K$ with value group $G$, let $\bar{v}$ be the (unique) extension of $v$ to a fixed algebraic closure $\bar{K}$ of $K$ and let $(\tilde{K},\tilde{v})$ be a completion of $(K,v)$. For $\alpha\in\bar{K}\setminus K$, let $M(\alpha,K)$ denote the set $\{\bar{v}(\alpha-\beta):\beta\in\bar{K},\ [K(\beta):K] \lt [K(\alpha):K]\}$. It is known that $M(\alpha,K)$ has an upper bound in $\bar{G}$ if and only if $[K(\alpha):K]=[\tilde{K}(\alpha):\tilde{K}]$, and that the supremum of $M(\alpha,K)$, which is denoted by $\delta_{K}(\alpha)$ (usually referred to as the main invariant of $\alpha$), satisfies a principle similar to the Krasner principle. Moreover, each complete discrete rank 1 valued field $(K,v)$ has the property that $\delta_{K}(\alpha)\in M(\alpha,K)$ for every $\alpha\in\bar{K}\setminus K$. In this paper the authors give a characterization of all those henselian valued fields $(K,v)$ which have the property mentioned above.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 12J10; 12J25; 13A18

Following (2) we say that a measure μ on a ring is semifinite ifClearly every σ-finite measure is semifinite, but the converse fails.In § 1 we present several reformulations of semifiniteness (Theorem 2), and characterize those semifinite measures μ on a ring that possess unique extensions to the σ-ring generated by (Theorem 3). Theorem 3 extends a classical result for σ-finite measures (3, 13.A). Then, in § 2, we apply the results of § 1 to the study of product measures; in the process, we compare the “semifinite product measure” (1; 2, pp. 127ff.) with the product measure described in (4, pp. 229ff.), finding necessary and sufficient conditions for their equality; see Theorem 6 and, in relation to it, Theorem 7.
