Affine Equivalence and Saddle Connection Graphs of Half-Translation Surfaces

To every half-translation surface, we associate a saddle connection graph, which is a subgraph of the arc graph. We prove that every isomorphism between two saddle connection graphs is induced by an affine homeomorphism between the underlying half-translation surfaces. We also investigate the automorphism group of the saddle connection graph and the corresponding quotient graph.

An Extension of Totohasina’s Normalization Theory of Quality Measures of Association Rules

In the context of binary data mining, for unifying view on probabilistic quality measures of association rules, Totohasina’s theory of normalization of quality measures of association rules primarily based on affine homeomorphism presents some drawbacks. Indeed, it cannot normalize some interestingness measures which are explained below. This paper presents an extension of it, as a new normalization method based on proper homographic homeomorphism that appears most consequent.

COMPACT METRIZABLE STRUCTURES AND CLASSIFICATION PROBLEMS

We introduce and study the framework of compact metric structures and their associated notions of isomorphisms such as homeomorphic and bi-Lipschitz isomorphism. This is subsequently applied to model various classification problems in analysis such as isomorphism of C*-algebras and affine homeomorphism of Choquet simplices, where among other things we provide a simple proof of the completeness of the isomorphism relation of separable, simple, nuclear C*-algebras recently established by M. Sabok.

Traces on topological-graph algebras

Given a topological graph $E$, we give a complete description of tracial states on the $\text{C}^{\ast }$-algebra $\text{C}^{\ast }(E)$ which are invariant under the gauge action; there is an affine homeomorphism between the space of gauge invariant tracial states on $\text{C}^{\ast }(E)$ and Radon probability measures on the vertex space $E^{0}$ which are, in a suitable sense, invariant under the action of the edge space $E^{1}$. It is shown that if $E$ has no cycles, then every tracial state on $\text{C}^{\ast }(E)$ is gauge invariant. When $E^{0}$ is totally disconnected, the gauge invariant tracial states on $\text{C}^{\ast }(E)$ are in bijection with the states on $\text{K}_{0}(\text{C}^{\ast }(E))$.
