Rectifiable Diameters of the Grassmann Spaces of Certain Von Neumann Algebras and C*-algebras

چکیده
We prove that any two homotopic projections in certain C*-algebras can be connected by a rectifiable path of projections whose length is bounded by a universal constant. In comparison, N.C. Phillips (1992) proved that there are C*algebras in which such a universal constant does not exist. Our techniques are to estimate the number of symmetries needed to conjugate any two homotopic projections and to factor a unitary in the identity path component as a product of a limited number of symmetries.

Various topological forms of Von Neumann regularity in Banach algebras
We study topological von Neumann regularity and principal von Neumann regularity of Banach algebras. Our main objective is comparing these two types of Banach algebras and some other known Banach algebras with one another. In particular, we show that the class of topologically von Neumann regular Banach algebras contains all $C^*$-algebras, group algebras of compact abelian groups and ...
متن کاملStrong Topological Regularity and Weak Regularity of Banach Algebras
In this article we study two different generalizations of von Neumann regularity, namely strong topological regularity and weak regularity, in the Banach algebra context. We show that both are hereditary properties and under certain assumptions, weak regularity implies strong topological regularity. Then we consider strong topological regularity of certain concrete algebras. Moreover we obtain ...

Nonlinear $*$-Lie higher derivations on factor von Neumann algebras
Let $mathcal M$ be a factor von Neumann algebra. It is shown that every nonlinear $*$-Lie higher derivation$D={phi_{n}}_{ninmathbb{N}}$ on $mathcal M$ is additive. In particular, if $mathcal M$ is infinite type $I$factor, a concrete characterization of $D$ is given.
