Let K be a topological field. On introducing the vector-space topology on the n × n matrices over K, it becomes clear that the determinant map φ enjoys the following properties:(A) φ is a continuous surjective homomorphism from GLn(K) to K*,(B) φ(μa) = μn φ(a) for each non-zero φ in K, and all a in GLn(K).

A class of generalized functions, called periodic Boehmians, on the unit circle, is studied. It is shown that the class of Boehmians contain all Beurling distributions. An example of a hyperfunctlon that is not a Boehmian is given. Some growth conditions on the Fourier coefficients of a Boehmian are given. It is shown that the Boehmians, with a given complete metric topological vector space topology, is not locally bounded.

Abstract Sum and intersection of linear subspaces in a vector space over a field are fundamental operations in linear algebra. The purpose of this survey paper is to give a comprehensive approach to the sums and intersections of two linear subspaces and their orthogonal complements in the finite-dimensional complex vector space. We shall establish a variety of closed-form formulas for representing the direct sum decompositions of the m-dimensional complex column vector space 𝔺m with respect to a pair of given linear subspaces 𝒨 and 𝒩 and their operations, and use them to derive a huge amount of decomposition identities for matrix expressions composed by a pair of orthogonal projectors onto the linear subspaces. As applications, we give matrix representation for the orthogonal projectors onto the intersections of a pair of linear subspaces using various matrix decomposition identities and Moore–Penrose inverses; necessary and su˚cient conditions for two linear subspaces to be in generic position; characterization of the commutativity of a pair of orthogonal projectors; necessary and su˚cient conditions for equalities and inequalities for a pair of subspaces to hold; equalities and inequalities for norms of a pair of orthogonal projectors and their operations; as well as a collection of characterizations of EP-matrix.

Bloch-vector spaces for N-level systems are investigated from the spherical-coordinate point of view in order to understand their geometrical aspects. We present a characterization of the space by using the spectra of (orthogonal) generators of SU (N). As an application, we find a dual property of the space which provides an overall picture of the space. We also provide three classes of quantum-state representations based on actual measurements and discuss their state-spaces.

We consider versal deformations of 0|3-dimensional L∞ algebras, also called strongly homotopy Lie algebras, which correspond precisely to ordinary (non-graded) three-dimensional Lie algebras. The classification of such algebras is well-known, although we shall give a derivation of this classification using an approach of treating them as L∞ algebras. Because the symmetric algebra of a three-dimensional odd vector space contains terms only of exterior degree less than or equal to three, the construction of versal deformations can be carried out completely. We give a characterization of the moduli space of Lie algebras using deformation theory as a guide to understanding the picture.
