Given a C*-algebra A which is filtered by a collection of closed ideals Ai, there is a spectral sequence which relates the K-theory of A to the K-theory of the various quotient algebras Ai/Ai−1. The d1 differentials in this spectral sequence are familiar index invariants, but the higher differentials are not well-understood. Considering the case of Toeplitz C*-algebras associated with certain cones in Z2, it is shown that a d2 differential in the spectral sequence is non-trivial. This differential turns out to be an obstruction to a classical lifting problem in operator theory. Analysis of this obstruction leads to necessary and sufficient conditions for the lifting problem. It is hoped that this example will illuminate the role of higher differentials in the K-theory spectral sequence.

AbstractWe study a canonical C* -algebra, 𝒮(Г,μ), that arises from a weighted graph (Г,μ), speci fic cases of which were previously studied in the context of planar algebras. We discuss necessary and sufficient conditions of the weighting that ensure simplicity and uniqueness of trace of 𝒮(Г,μ), and study the structure of its positive cone. We then study the *-algebra,𝒜, generated by the generators of 𝒮(Г,μ), and use a free differential calculus and techniques of Charlesworth and Shlyakhtenko as well as Mai, Speicher, and Weber to show that certain “loop” elements have no atoms in their spectral measure. After modifying techniques of Shlyakhtenko and Skoufranis to show that self adjoint elements x ∊ Mn(𝒜) have algebraic Cauchy transform, we explore some applications to eigenvalues of polynomials inWishart matrices and to diagrammatic elements in von Neumann algebras initially considered by Guionnet, Jones, and Shlyakhtenko.

AbstractWe define the filtrated K-theory of a C*-algebra over a finite topological spaceXand explain how to construct a spectral sequence that computes the bivariant Kasparov theory overXin terms of filtrated K-theory.For finite spaces with a totally ordered lattice of open subsets, this spectral sequence becomes an exact sequence as in the Universal Coefficient Theorem, with the same consequences for classification. We also exhibit an example where filtrated K-theory is not yet a complete invariant. We describe two C*-algebras over a spaceXwith four points that have isomorphic filtrated K-theory without being KK(X)-equivalent. For this spaceX, we enrich filtrated K-theory by another K-theory functor to a complete invariant up to KK(X)-equivalence that satisfies a Universal Coefficient Theorem.

AbstractWe characterize Gelfand–Shilov spaces, their distribution spaces and modulation spaces in terms of estimates of their Zak transforms. We use these results for general investigations of quasi-periodic functions and distributions. We also establish necessary and sufficient conditions for linear operators in order for these operators should be conjugations by Zak transforms.

The theorem of R. Rado (12) to which I refer by the name ‘Rado's theorem for matroids’ gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a family of subsets of a finite set Y to have a transversal independent in a given matroid on Y. This theorem is of fundamental importance in both transversal theory and matroid theory (see, for example, (11)). In (3) J. Edmonds introduced and studied ‘polymatroids’ as a sort of continuous analogue of a matroid. I start this paper with a brief introduction to polymatroids, emphasizing the role of the ‘ground-set rank function’. The main result is an analogue for polymatroids of Rado's theorem for matroids, which I call not unnaturally ‘Rado's theorem for polymatroids’.

Abstract We show that group C*-algebras of finitely generated, nilpotent groups have finite nuclear dimension. It then follows, from a string of deep results, that the C*-algebra A generated by an irreducible representation of such a group has decomposition rank at most 3. If, in addition, A satisfies the universal coefficient theorem, another string of deep results shows it is classifiable by its ordered K-theory and is approximately subhomogeneous. We observe that all C*-algebras generated by faithful irreducible representations of finitely generated, torsion free nilpotent groups satisfy the universal coefficient theorem.

For each α ≥ 0, let Bα be the universal C*-algebra generated by unitary elements uα, vα and a self-adjoint hα such that ||hα|| ≤ α and [Formula: see text]. In this work we prove that the family {Bα}α ∈ [0,∞[ extend the family of soft torus with the same basic properties, i.e., the field of C*-algebras {Bα}α ∈ [0,α0] is continuous and each Bα is a crossed product of a C*-algebra homotopically equivalent to C(S1) by Z. We then show that the K-groups of Bα are isomorphic to Z ⊕ Z. Applying results from the theory of rotation algebras we prove that every positive element (n,m) in K0(Bα) satisfies |m|α ≤ 2πn. It follows that these C*-algebras are not all homotopically equivalent to each other, although they have the same K-groups.

Several oscillation results are proposed including necessary and sufficient conditions for the oscillation of fractional-order delay differential equations with constant coefficients, the sufficient or necessary and sufficient conditions for the oscillation of fractional-order delay differential equations by analysis method, and the sufficient or necessary and sufficient conditions for the oscillation of delay partial differential equation with three different boundary conditions. For this,α-exponential function which is a kind of functions that play the same role of the classical exponential functions of fractional-order derivatives is used.

We study the classification of the pairs (N, X) where N is a Stein surface and X is a ℂ-complete holomorphic vector field with isolated singularities on N. We describe the role of transverse sections in the classification of X and give necessary and sufficient conditions on X in order to have N biholomorphic to ℂ2. As a sample of our results, we prove that N is biholomorphic to ℂ2 if H2(N, ℤ) = 0, X has a finite number of singularities and exhibits a singularity with three separatrices or, equivalently, a singularity with first jet of the form [Formula: see text] where λ1/λ2 ∈ ℚ+. We also study flows with many periodic orbits (i.e. orbits diffeomorphic to ℂ*), in a sense we will make clear, proving they admit a meromorphic first integral or they exhibit some special periodic orbit, whose holonomy map is a non-resonant nonlinearizable diffeomorphism map.

We present some necessary and sufficient conditions such that the (Arens) extensions of a bi-derivation on Banach algebras are again bi-derivations. We then examine our results for some Banach algebras. In particular, we show that the (Arens) extensions of a bi-derivation on C*-algebras are biderivations. Some results on extensions of an inner bi-derivation are also included.
