There are various generalizations of Hopf’s brilliant theorem, which may be stated, as newly formulated by Alexandroff; all the homotopy classes of the mappings of a compact Hausdorff space X with dim X≦n into an n-sphere Sn are in a (1-1) -correspondence with the elements of the n-dimensional Čech cohomology group Hn(X) with integer coefficients.

AbstractLet G be a locally compact second countable group, let X be a locally compact second countable Hausdorff space, and view C(X, T) as a trivial G-module. For G countable discrete abelian, we construct an isomorphism between the Moore cohomology group Hn(G, C(X, T)) and the direct sum Ext(Hn-1(G), Ȟl(βX, Ζ)) ⊕ C(X, Hn(G, T)); here Ȟ1 (βX, Ζ) denotes the first Čech cohomology group of the Stone-Čech compactification of X, βX, with integer coefficients. For more general locally compact second countable groups G, we discuss the relationship between the Moore group H2(G, C(X, T)), the set of exterior equivalence classes of element-wise inner actions of G on the stable continuous trace C*-algebra C0(X) ⊗ 𝒦, and the equivariant Brauer group BrG(X) of Crocker, Kumjian, Raeburn, and Williams. For countable discrete abelian G acting trivially on X, we construct an isomorphism is the group of equivalence classes of principal Ĝ bundles over X first considered by Raeburn and Williams.

The homology functor from the category of free abelian chain complexes and homotopy classes of maps to that of graded abelian groups is full and replete (surjective on objects up to isomorphism) and reflects isomorphisms. Thus such a complex is determined to within homotopy equivalence (although not a unique homotopy equivalence) by its homology. The homotopy classes of maps between two such complexes should therefore be expressible in terms of the homology groups, and such an expression is in fact provided by the Künneth formula for Hom, sometimes called ‘the homotopy classification theorem’.

Let $\mathcal D$ and $A$ be unital and separable $C^{*}$-algebras; let $\mathcal D$ be strongly self-absorbing. It is known that any two unital ${}^*$-homomorphisms from $\mathcal D$ to $A \otimes \mathcal D$ are approximately unitarily equivalent. We show that, if $\mathcal D$ is also $K_{1}$-injective, they are even asymptotically unitarily equivalent. This in particular implies that any unital endomorphism of $\mathcal D$ is asymptotically inner. Moreover, the space of automorphisms of $\mathcal D$ is compactly-contractible (in the point-norm topology) in the sense that for any compact Hausdorff space $X$, the set of homotopy classes $[X,(\mathrm{Aut}(\mathcal D)]$ reduces to a point. The respective statement holds for the space of unital endomorphisms of $\mathcal D$. As an application, we give a description of the Kasparov group $KK(\mathcal D, A\otimes \mathcal D)$ in terms of $^*$-homomorphisms and asymptotic unitary equivalence. Along the way, we show that the Kasparov group $KK(\mathcal D, A\otimes \mathcal D)$ is isomorphic to $K_0(A\otimes \mathcal D)$.

AbstractGiven a commutative semiring with a compatible preorder satisfying a version of the Archimedean property, the asymptotic spectrum, as introduced by Strassen (J. reine angew. Math. 1988), is an essentially unique compact Hausdorff space together with a map from the semiring to the ring of continuous functions. Strassen’s theorem characterizes an asymptotic relaxation of the preorder that asymptotically compares large powers of the elements up to a subexponential factor as the pointwise partial order of the corresponding functions, realizing the asymptotic spectrum as the space of monotone semiring homomorphisms to the nonnegative real numbers. Such preordered semirings have found applications in complexity theory and information theory. We prove a generalization of this theorem to preordered semirings that satisfy a weaker polynomial growth condition. This weaker hypothesis does not ensure in itself that nonnegative real-valued monotone homomorphisms characterize the (appropriate modification of the) asymptotic preorder. We find a sufficient condition as well as an equivalent condition for this to hold. Under these conditions the asymptotic spectrum is a locally compact Hausdorff space satisfying a similar universal property as in Strassen’s work.

Abstract We investigate topological conditions on a compact Hausdorff space Y, such that any lattice isomorphism φ : C(X, I) → C(Y, I), where X is a compact Hausdorff space and I is the unit interval [0, 1], is continuous. It is shown that in either of cases that the set of G δ points of Y has a dense pseudocompact subset or Y does not contain the Stone-Čech compactification of ℕ, such a lattice isomorphism is a homeomorphism.

Many commutative semisimple Banach algebras B including B = C (X), X compact, and B = L1 (G), G locally compact, have the property that every homomorphism from B into C1[0, 1] is compact. In this paper we consider this property for uniform algebras. Several examples of homomorphisms from somewhat complicated algebras of analytic functions to C1[0, 1] are shown to be compact. This, together with the fact that every homomorphism from the disc algebra and from the algebra H∞ (∆), ∆ = unit disc, to C1[0, 1] is compact, led to the conjecture that perhaps every homomorphism from a uniform algebra into C1[0, 1] is compact. The main result to which we devote the second half of this paper, is to construct a compact Hausdorff space X, a uniformly closed subalgebra [Formula: see text] of C (X), and an arc ϕ: [0, 1] → X such that the transformation T defined by Tf = f ◦ ϕ is a (bounded) homomorphism of [Formula: see text] into C1[0, 1] which is not compact.

Although traditional and idempotent mathematics are "parallel'', by an application of the category theory we show that objects obtained the similar rules over traditional and idempotent mathematics must not be "parallel''. At first we establish for a compact metric space X the spaces P(X) of probability measures and I(X) idempotent probability measures are homeomorphic ("parallelism''). Then we construct an example which shows that the constructions P and I form distinguished functors from each other ("parallelism'' negation). Further for a compact Hausdorff space X we establish that the hereditary normality of I<sub>3</sub>(X)\ X implies the metrizability of X.

Representation theorems for additive functional have been obtained in [2, 4; 6-8; 10-13]. Our aim in this paper is to study the representation of additive operators.Let S be a compact Hausdorff space and let C(S) be the space of real-valued continuous functions defined on S. Let X be an arbitrary Banach space and let T be an additive operator (see § 2) mapping C(S) into X. We will show (see Lemma 3.4) that additive operators may be represented in terms of a family of “measures” {μh} which take their values in X**. If X is weakly sequentially complete, then {μh} can be shown to take their values in X and are vector-valued measures (i.e., countably additive in the norm) (see Lemma 3.7). And, if X* is separable in the weak-* topology, T may be represented in terms of a kernel representation satisfying the Carathéordory conditions (see [9; 11; §4]):

Let A be a Banach algebra and let B be a linear subspace of A. Recall that A has the Dunford Pettis property if whenever ƒn→ 0 weakly in A* and φn → 0 weakly in A* then φn(ƒn) → 0. Bourgain showed that H∞ has the Dunford Pettis property using the theory of ultraproducts. The Dunford Pettis property is related to the notion of Bourgain algebra, denoted Bb, introduced by [6] Cima and Timoney. The algebra Bb is the set of ƒ in A such that if ƒn → 0 weakly in B then dist(ƒƒn, B) —> 0. Bourgain showed [2] that a closed subspace X of C(L)y where L is a compact Hausdorff space, has the Dunford Pettis property if Xb — C(L). Cima and Timoney proved that Bb is a closed subalgebra of A and that if B is an algebra then B⊂Bb. In this paper we study the Bourgain algebra associated with various algebras of functions on the unit circle T.
