Hilbert cube modulo an arc

Factoring the Hilbert Cube

In 1964, R. D. Anderson announced [ l ] that the product of a countably infinite collection of dendra is a Hilbert cube (a dendron being a nondegenerate, uniquely arcwise connected, Peano continuum). He and R. H. Bing conjectured in [4] that a countably infinite product of compact contractible complexes is a Hilbert cube. The purpose of this note is to announce the following theorems which affi...

Fake Boundary Sets in the Hilbert Cube

For each positive integer n, a o-Z-set B„ in the Hilbert cube 7°° is constructed whose complement s„ = Ix — B„ is not homeomorphic to the pseudointerior j of the Hilbert cube though sn and B„ satisfy: (i) every compact subset of s„ is a Z-set in s„; (ii) s„ X s„ is homeomorphic to s; (iii) Bn admits small maps 7°° -» B„; (iv) s„ satisfies the discrete «-cells property; and (v) Bn is locally (n ...

Biprojectivty of Banach algebras modulo an ideal

In this paper, we introduce the new concept of biprojectivity of a Banach algebra modulo an ideal, as a generalization of this notion in the classical case. By using it , we obtain some necessary and sufficient conditions for contractibility of Banach algebras modulo an ideal. In particular we characterize the contractibility of quotient Banach algebras. Also we study the relationship between t...

GALOIS REPRESENTATIONS MODULO p AND COHOMOLOGY OF HILBERT MODULAR VARIETIES

The aim of this paper is to extend some arithmetic results on elliptic modular forms to the case of Hilbert modular forms. Among these results let’s mention : − the control of the image of the Galois representation modulo p [37][35], − Hida’s congruence criterion outside an explicit set of primes p [21], − the freeness of the integral cohomology of the Hilbert modular variety over certain local...
