The Pythagorean Theorem: I. The finite case.
نویسنده
چکیده
The Pythagorean Theorem and variants of it are studied. The variations evolve to a formulation in terms of noncommutative, conditional expectations on von Neumann algebras that displays the theorem as the basic result of noncommutative, metric, Euclidean Geometry. The emphasis in the present article is finite dimensionality, both "discrete" and "continuous."

The Basic Theorem and its Consequences
Let T be a compact Hausdorff topological space and let M denote an n–dimensional subspace of the space C(T ), the space of real–valued continuous functions on T and let the space be equipped with the uniform norm. Zukhovitskii [7] attributes the Basic Theorem to E.Ya.Remez and gives a proof by duality. He also gives a proof due to Shnirel’man, which uses Helly’s Theorem, now the paper obtains a...
متن کاملConstructive Proof of the Carpenter’s Theorem
We give a constructive proof of Carpenter’s Theorem due to Kadison [14, 15]. Unlike the original proof our approach also yields the real case of this theorem. 1. Kadison’s theorem In [14] and [15] Kadison gave a complete characterization of the diagonals of orthogonal projections on a Hilbert space H. Theorem 1.1 (Kadison). Let {di}i∈I be a sequence in [0, 1]. Define a = ∑ di<1/2 di and b = ∑ d...
متن کاملExtensions of ELECTRE-I and TOPSIS methods for group decision-making under complex Pythagorean fuzzy environment
Multi-criteria group decision-making is a process in which decision makers assess the performance of alternatives on the basis of conflicting criteria to opt the most worthy alternative as solution. TOPSIS and ELECTRE are effective and commonly used methods to solve multiple criteria decision-making problems. The aim of this study is to propose two new models, namely, complex Pythagorean fuzzy ...
متن کاملRealizing profinite reduced special groups
The theory of special groups is an axiomatization of the algebraic theory of quadratic forms, introduced by Dickmann and Miraglia (see [4]). The class of special groups, together with its morphisms, forms a category. As for other such axiomatisations, the main examples of special groups are provided by fields, in this case by applying the special group functor, which associates to each field F ...
متن کاملAre monochromatic Pythagorean triples avoidable?
A Pythagorean triple is a triple of positive integers a,b,c ∈ N+ satisfying a2 + b2 = c2. Is it true that, for any finite coloring of N+, at least one Pythagorean triple must be monochromatic? In other words, is the Diophantine equation X2 +Y 2 = Z2 regular? This problem has been open since several decades, even restricted to 2-colorings. In this note, we introduce partial morphisms, which are ...
