On the continuity of lattice isomorphisms on C(X, I)

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.

Geometrical properties of the space of idempotent probability measures

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 I₃(X)\ X implies the metrizability of X.

A Generalization of Strassen’s Theorem on Preordered Semirings

Given 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.

Module bundles and module amenability

Let X be a compact Hausdorff space, and let {Ax : x ∈ X} and {Bx : x ∈ X} be collections of Banach algebras such that each Ax is a Bx-bimodule. Using the theory of bundles of Banach spaces as a tool, we investigate the module amenability of certain algebras of Ax-valued functions on X over algebras of Bx-valued functions on X.

Dynamic asymptotic dimension for actions of virtually cyclic groups

We show that the dynamic asymptotic dimension of an action of an infinite virtually cyclic group on a compact Hausdorff space is always one if the action has the marker property. This in particular covers a well-known result of Guentner, Willett, and Yu for minimal free actions of infinite cyclic groups. As a direct consequence, we substantially extend a famous result by Toms and Winter on the nuclear dimension of $C^{*}$ -algebras arising from minimal free $\mathbb {Z}$ -actions. Moreover, we also prove the marker property for all free actions of countable groups on finite-dimensional compact Hausdorff spaces, generalizing a result of Szabó in the metrisable setting.

The Topological Entropy Conjecture

For a compact Hausdorff space X, let J be the ordered set associated with the set of all finite open covers of X such that there exists nJ, where nJ is the dimension of X associated with ∂. Therefore, we have Hˇp(X;Z), where 0≤p≤n=nJ. For a continuous self-map f on X, let α∈J be an open cover of X and Lf(α)={Lf(U)|U∈α}. Then, there exists an open fiber cover L˙f(α) of Xf induced by Lf(α). In this paper, we define a topological fiber entropy entL(f) as the supremum of ent(f,L˙f(α)) through all finite open covers of Xf={Lf(U);U⊂X}, where Lf(U) is the f-fiber of U, that is the set of images fn(U) and preimages f−n(U) for n∈N. Then, we prove the conjecture logρ≤entL(f) for f being a continuous self-map on a given compact Hausdorff space X, where ρ is the maximum absolute eigenvalue of f*, which is the linear transformation associated with f on the Čech homology group Hˇ*(X;Z)=⨁i=0nHˇi(X;Z).

Proximity inductive dimension and Brouwer dimension agree on compact Hausdorff spaces

We show that the proximity inductive dimension defined by Isbell agrees with the Brouwer dimension originally described by Brouwer (for Polish spaces without isolated points) on the class of compact Hausdorff spaces. This shows that Fedorchuk?s example of a compact Hausdorff space whose Brouwer dimension exceeds its Lebesgue covering dimension is an example of a space whose proximity inductive dimension exceeds its proximity dimension as defined by Smirnov. This answers Isbell?s question of whether or not proximity inductive dimension and proximity dimension coincide.

A generalized type semigroup and dynamical comparison

In this paper, we construct and study a semigroup associated to an action of a countable discrete group on a compact Hausdorff space that can be regarded as a higher dimensional generalization of the type semigroup. We study when this semigroup is almost unperforated. This leads to a new characterization of dynamical comparison and thus answers a question of Kerr and Schafhauser. In addition, this paper suggests a definition of comparison for dynamical systems in which neither the acting group is necessarily amenable nor the action is minimal.

Isomorphisms from Extremely Regular Subspaces of C0K into C0S,X Spaces

For a locally compact Hausdorff space K and a Banach space X, let C0K,X be the Banach space of all X-valued continuous functions defined on K, which vanish at infinite provided with the sup norm. If X is ℝ, we denote C0K,X as C0K. If AK be an extremely regular subspace of C0K and T:AK⟶C0S,X is an into isomorphism, what can be said about the set-theoretical or topological properties of K and S? Answering the question, we will prove that if X contains no copy of c0, then the cardinality of K is less than that of S. Moreover, if TT−1<3 and AK is also a subalgebra of C0K, the cardinality of the αth derivative of K is less than that of the αth derivative of S, for each ordinal α. Finally, if λX>1 and TT−1<λX, then K is a continuous image of a subspace of S. Here, λX is the geometrical parameter introduced by Jarosz in 1989: λX=infmaxx+λy:λ=1:x=y=1. As a consequence, we improve classical results about into isomorphisms from extremely regular subspaces already obtained by Cengiz.

Fixed Points of Subadditive Maps with an Application to a System of Volterra–Fredholm Type Integrodifferential Equations

In this paper, some fixed-point theorems are established for strongly subadditive maps on CΩ,ϒ (where CΩ,ϒ denotes the space of ϒ-valued continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space Ω and ϒ is a unital Banach algebra). Finally, the result is applied to prove the existence and uniqueness of a solution for a system of nonlinear integrodifferential equations.
