Suppose that $\{\alpha_t\}_{t\in \mathbb{R}}$ is a flow on the compact metrizable space $X$. We prove that a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an embedding (injective $*$-homomorphism) of the crossed product $C(X)\rtimes_\alpha \mathbb{R}$ into some $AF$-algebra is that every point of $X$ be chain recurrent in the sense of Conley.

AbstractIt is shown that a Tychonoff space X is pseudocompact if and only if for every metrizable space Y, all uniformities on Y induce the same topology on the space of continuous functions from X into Y. Also for certain pairs of spaces X and Y, a necessary and sufficient condition is established in order that all uniformities on Y induce the same topology on the space of continuous functions from X into Y.

AbstractLet A be a unital C*-algebra. Let (B,E) be a pair consisting of a unital C*-algebra B containing A as a C*-subalgebra with a unit that is also the unit of B, and a conditional expectation E from B onto A that is of index-finite type and of depth 2. Let B1 be the C*-basic construction induced by (B,E). In this paper, we shall show that any such pair (B,E) satisfying the conditions that A′∩B=ℂ1 and that A′∩B1 is commutative is constructed by a saturated C*-algebraic bundle over a finite group. Furthermore, we shall give a necessary and sufficient condition for B to be described as a twisted crossed product of A by its twisted action of a finite group under the condition that A′∩B1 is commutative.

Preceding Question

Our present work is divided into three sections. In §2 we study the metrizability of spaces with a Gδ-diagonal (see Definition 2.1). In §3 we study the metrization of topological spaces by means of collections of (not necessarily continuous) real-valued functions on a topological space. Our efforts, in §§2 and 3, are directed toward answering the following question: “Is every normal, metacompact (see Definition 2.4) Moore space a metrizable space?” which still remains unsolved. (However, Theorems 2.12 through 2.15 and Theorem 3.1 may be helpful in answering the preceding question.) In §4 we prove an apparently new necessary and sufficient condition for the metrizability of the Stone-Čech compactification of a metrizable space and hence for the compactness of a metric space.

Necessary And Sufficient

This paper introduces an auditor reliability framework that repositions the role of auditor independence in the accounting profession. The framework is motivated in part by widespread confusion about independence and the auditing profession's continuing problems with managing independence and inspiring public confidence. We use philosophical, theoretical, and professional arguments to argue that the public interest will be best served by reprioritizing professional and ethical objectives to establish reliability in fact and appearance as the cornerstone of the profession, rather than relationship-based independence in fact and appearance. This revised framework requires three foundation elements to control subjectivity in auditors' judgments and decisions: independence, integrity, and expertise. Each element is a necessary but not sufficient condition for maximizing objectivity. Objectivity, in turn, is a necessary and sufficient condition for achieving and maintaining reliability in fact and appearance.

Necessary And Sufficient

The Kantian account of political authority holds that the state is a necessary and sufficient condition of our freedom. We cannot be free outside the state, Kantians argue, because any attempt to have the “acquired rights” necessary for our freedom implicates us in objectionable relations of dependence on private judgment. Only in the state can this problem be overcome. But it is not clear how mere institutions could make the necessary difference, and contemporary Kantians have not offered compelling explanations. A detailed analysis is presented of the problems Kantians identify with the state of nature and the objections they face in claiming that the state overcomes them. A response is sketched on behalf of Kantians. The key idea is that under state institutions, a person can make claims of acquired right without presupposing that she is by nature exceptional in her capacity to bind others.

Lorentz Boosts

In this paper, Lorentz boosts and Wigner rotations are considered from a (complexified) quaternionic point of view. It is demonstrated that, for a suitably defined self-adjoint complex quaternionic 4-velocity, pure Lorentz boosts can be phrased in terms of the quaternion square root of the relative 4-velocity connecting the two inertial frames. Straightforward computations then lead to quite explicit and relatively simple algebraic formulae for the composition of 4-velocities and the Wigner angle. The Wigner rotation is subsequently related to the generic non-associativity of the composition of three 4-velocities, and a necessary and sufficient condition is developed for the associativity to hold. Finally, the authors relate the composition of 4-velocities to a specific implementation of the Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff theorem. As compared to ordinary 4×4 Lorentz transformations, the use of self-adjoint complexified quaternions leads, from a computational view, to storage savings and more rapid computations, and from a pedagogical view to to relatively simple and explicit formulae.
