On the existence of continuous (approximate) roots of algebraic equations

Let X, Y be compact Hausdorff spaces and B£(X), B*(Y)f 0 < a, |3 < 12 (the first uncountable ordinal), the associated Banach spaces of bounded real-valued Baire functions of classes a and 0. If B*(X) =£ B*AX) (which is the case if a =£ 0 and X is not dispersed), then B*(X) is neither linearly isometric to BQ(Y) nor equivalent to B^(Y) in several other ways. B^(X) is linearly isometric to B%(Y) if and only if X is Baire isomorphic to Y. For 1 < a < ft the maximal ideal space of B£(X) for a nondispersed compact space X As not an F-space. 1. Let I bea compact (more generally, completely regular) Hausdorff space and C(X) the space of continuous real-valued functions on X. Let B0(X) = C(X)9 and inductively define Ba(X) for each ordinal a < Q, (Q denotes the first uncountable ordinal) to be the space of pointwise limits of sequences of functions in U | < a B^(X). Let B*(X) be the space of bounded functions contained in Ba(X). With the pointwise operations Ba(X) and B*(X) are lattice-ordered algebras. With the supremum norm B*(X) is a Banach algebra (see [4, §41]). The Baire sets of X of multiplicative class a, denoted by Za(X)9 are defined to be the zero sets of functions in B*(X). Those of additive class a, denoted by CZa(X), are defined as the complements of sets in Za(X). Finally, those of ambiguous class a, denoted by Aa(X), are the sets which are simultaneously in Za(X) and CZa(X). With the set-theoretic operations of union and intersection, Aa(X) is a Boolean algebra for each a < 12. The sets of exactly ambiguous class a, denoted by EAa(X are those in ^ a ( Z ) U ^ < a Ac(X). The sets of exactly additive and exactly multiplicative class a are defined analogously. The class of all Baire subsets of X is AMS (MOS) subject classifications (1970).

Let X be a compact Hausdorff space and C(X) the Banach space of all real-valued continuous functions on X under the sup norm. If H is a linear subspace of C(X) which separates the points of X and contains the constant functions, then it is well known that there exists a smallest closed subset of X, called the Silov boundary of X relative to H and denoted by OHX, with the property that each hCH attains its maximum value on afHX. A point xeX is called an H-extremal point if the only positive linear functional u on C(X) such that u(h) = h(x) for all hCH is the evaluation functional 4. where O.,(f) =f(x) for all fE C(X). The set of H-extremal points of X is called the Choquet boundary of X relative to H and will be denoted by VHX. H. Bauer has shown [1, 2.1 ] that the Choquet boundary of X relative to H is nonempty and the Silov boundary of X relative to H is equal to the closure of the Choquet boundary. Bauer has also introduced (see [1 ]) an abstract Dirichlet problem for the above setting. If S:DHX is closed and xCX, then MS denotes the set of positive linear functionals u on C(S) such that u(h I S) =h(x) for all hCH. MS is always nonempty. The measures in MX'HX are called the H-harmonic measures belonging to x. A function f in C(X) is said to be H-harmonic if for every xEX and every u M we have u(f) =f(x). The set of H-harmonic functions is denoted by H. The Dirichlet problem is said to be solvable for X relative to H if 1^ j aHX = c(aHX). The Dirichlet problem is solvable if and only if to each x in X belongs exactly one H-harmonic measure (see [1, Satz 9]). Let X1, X2 be compact Hausdorff spaces and H1, H2 separating linear subspaces of C(X1), C(X2) respectively, which contain the constant functions. Equipped with the usual product topology, the cartesian product X1 X X2 is a compact Hausdorff space. In this paper we show that a subfamily H1+H2 of C(XIXX2) can be defined, in a natural way, for which VH1+H2Xl X X2 exists and VH1+H2Xl X X2 = VH1X1X VH2X2. We then give two theorems on the relation of the

Function-space compactifications of function spaces

Let G be a locally compact second countable Hausdorff space with a positive regular Borel measure λ, where λ is invariant under a continuous injective mapping φ : G → G. We characterize the disjoint hypercyclicity of finite weighted translations generated by φ acting on the weighted space Lp (G, ω) (1 ≤ p &lt; ∞).

d-20 - H-Closed Spaces

Given two topologies J1, J2 on a set X, J1 is said to be coarser than J2, written J1 ≦ J2, if every set open under J1 is open under J2. A minimal Hausdorff space is then one for which there is no coarser Hausdorff topology etc. Vaidyanathaswamy [4] showed that every compact Hausdorff space is both maximal compact and minimal Hausdorff. This raised the question of whether there exist minimal Hausdorff non-compact spaces and/or maximal compact non-Hausdorff spaces. These questions were in fact answered in the affirmative by Ramanathan [2], Balachandran [1], and Hing Tong [3]. Their examples were, however, all on countable sets, and the topology constructed to answer one question bore no relation to the topology answering the second. In particular, the minimal Hausdorff non-compact topologies were not finer than any maximal compact topology.

A categorical characterization of a subcategory S of TOP (or 7J) is one which enables the identification of S in TOP (or 7^) without requiring the reconstruction of the topological structure of its objects.In this paper we so characterize various familiar subcategories of TOP (Hausdorff spaces, normal spaces, compact Hausdorff spaces, paracompact Hausdorff spaces, metrizable spaces, first countable spaces) in terms of the global behavior of the (objects and) morphisms of the subcategory. Introduction. A categorical characterization of a subcategory S of TOP (or of T2) is one which enables the identification of S in TOP (or T2) without requiring the reconstruction of the topological structure of its objects.The proof of the triviality of the automorphism class group of TOP [Fe, p. 32] assures us of the existence of such characterizations.As will be shown in §1, this proof establishes that all the topological structure of an object of TOP can be recovered from the behavior of the arrows with that object as source and/ or target.In §2 we establish a number of lemmas (mostly known), and we use these lemmas in §3 to characterize many important subcategories of TOP and/ or T2, such as the metrizable spaces, the paracompact Hausdorff spaces, the normal spaces, etc.We can distinguish at least three classes of "categorical" characterizations of subcategories of TOP, which are listed below: Class 3. Straightforward translations of the familiar definitions.These can always be obtained because of the results in §1.Example: Characterize the concepts "open", "cover", "refinement", "locally finite" categorically and then the standard definition of paracompact spaces is categorical.Class 2. Characterizations using standard categorical constructions (product, coproduct, epimorphic images, etc.) but in terms of individual objects, and/or constants outside the subcategory.Example: The category of paracompact Hausdorff spaces contains precisely those Hausdorff spaces X such that

Jerison introduced the Banach spaces C (S) of continuous real or complex-valued odd functions with respect to an involuntory homeomorphism a : S • • P S of the compact Hausdorff space S. It has been conjectured that any Banach space of the type C (S) is isomorphic to a Banach space of all continuous functions on some compact Hausdorff space. This conjecture is shown to be true if either (1) S is a Cartesian product of compact metric spaces or (2) S is a linearly ordered compact Hausdorff space and a has at most one fixed point.

This chapter pursues three lines of investigation in the subject of functional analysis—one involving smooth functions and distributions, one involving fixed-point theorems, and one involving spectral theory.Section 1 introduces topological vector spaces. These are real or complex vector spaces with a Hausdorff topology in which addition and scalar multiplication are continuous. Examples include normed linear spaces, spaces given by a separating family of countably many seminorms, and weak and weak-star topologies in the context of Banach spaces. Various general properties of topological vector spaces are proved, and it is proved that the quotient of a topological vector space by a closed vector subspace is Hausdorff and is therefore a topological vector space.Section 2 introduces a topology on the space C∞(U) of smooth functions on an open subset of ℝN. The support of a continuous linear functional on C∞(U) is defined and shown to be a compact subset of U. Accordingly, the continuous linear functionals are called distributions of compact support.Section 3 studies weak and weak-star topologies in more detail. The main result is Alaoglu’s Theorem, which says that the closed unit ball in the weak-star topology on the dual of a normed linear space is compact. In an earlier chapter a preliminary form of this theorem was used to construct elements in a dual space as limits of weak-star convergent subsequences.Section 4 follows Alaoglu’s Theorem along a particular path, giving what amounts to a first example of the Gelfand theory of Banach algebras. The relevant theorem, known as the Stone Representation Theorem, says that conjugate-closed uniformly closed subalgebras containing the constants in B(S) are isomorphic via a norm-preserving algebra isomorphism to the space of all continuous functions on some compact Hausdorff space. The compact space in question is the space of multiplicative linear functionals on the subalgebra, and the proof of compactness uses Alaoglu’s Theorem.Sections 5–6 return to the lines of study toward distributions and fixed-point theorems. Section 5 studies the relationship between convexity and the existence of separating linear functionals. The main theorem makes use of the Hahn-Banach Theorem. Section 6 introduces locally convex topological vector spaces. Application of the basic separation theorem from the previous section shows the existence of many continuous linear functionals on such a space.Section 7 specializes to the line of study via smooth functions and distributions. The topic is the introduction of a certain locally convex topology on the space C ∞com (U) of smooth functions of compact support on U. This is best characterized by a universal mapping property introduced in the section.Sections 8–9 pursue locally convex spaces along the other line of study that split off in Section 5. Section 8 gives the Krein-Milman Theorem, which asserts the existence of a supply of extreme points for any nonempty compact convex set in a locally convex topological vector space. Section 9 relates compact convex sets to the subject of fixed-point theorems.Section 10 takes up the abstract theory of Banach algebras, with particular attention to commutative C* algebras with identity. Three examples are the algebras characterized by the Stone Representation Theorem, any L∞ space, and any adjoint-closed commutative Banach algebra consisting of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space and containing the identity.Section 11 continues the investigation of the last of the examples in the previous section and derives the Spectral Theorem for bounded self-adjoint operators and certain related families of operators. Powerful applications follow from a functional calculus implied by the Spectral Theorem. The section concludes with remarks about the Spectral Theorem for unbounded self-adjoint operators.KeywordsBanach AlgebraTopological Vector SpaceNormed Linear SpaceInternal PointCompact Hausdorff SpaceThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

We show that positive linear functionals on the field algebra are necessarily continuous and can be represented by conical measures. Furthermore extension theorems for continuous linear functionals, defined on a subspace of the field algebra, to positive linear functionals are discussed.

On classes of compactifications which are always singular

Every closed subset of a compact topological space is compact. Also every compact subset of a Hausdorff topological space is closed. It follows that compact subsets are precisely the closed subsets in a compact Hausdorff space. It is also proved that a topological space is maximal compact if and only if its compact subsets are precisely the closed subsets. A locale is a categorical extension of topological spaces and a frame is an object in its opposite category. We investigate to find whether the closed sublocales are exactly the compact sublocales of a compact Hausdorff frame. We also try to investigate whether the closed sublocales are exactly the compact sublocales of a maximal compact frame.
