Example 1.1. A field homomorphism K → F is a character by restricting it to the nonzero elements of K (that is, using G = K×) and ignoring the additive aspect of a field homomorphism. In particular, when L/K is a field extension any element of Aut(L/K) is a field homomorphism L→ L and therefore is a character of L× with values in L×. Example 1.2. For any α ∈ F×, the map Z→ F× by k 7→ αk is a ch...

Suppose A is a C*-algebra and B is a Banach algebra such that it can be continuously imbedded in B(H), the Banach algebra of bounded linear operators on some Hubert space H. It is shown that if 6 is a compact algebra homomorphism from A into B, then 6 is a finite rank operator, and the range of 0 is spanned by a finite number of idempotents. If, moreover, B is commutative, then 9 has the form 8...

We find the universal module w(M) for functions (that need not be invariants) of finite matroids, defined on a minor-closed class M and with values in any module L over any commutative and unitary ring, that satisfy a parametrized deletion-contraction identity, F (M) = δeF (M r e) + γeF (M/e), when e is neither a loop nor a coloop. (F is called a (parametrized) weak Tutte function.) Within the ...

in this paper, we show that every surjective $n$-homomorphism ($n$-anti-homomorphism) from a banach algebra $a$ into a semisimple banach algebra $b$ is continuous.

In this paper we prove that every n-Jordan homomorphis varphi:mathcal {A} longrightarrowmathcal {B} from unital Banach algebras mathcal {A} into varphi -commutative Banach algebra mathcal {B} satisfiying the condition varphi (x^2)=0 Longrightarrow varphi (x)=0, xin mathcal {A}, is an n-homomorphism. In this paper we prove that every n-Jordan homomorphism varphi:mathcal {A} longrightarrowmathcal...

In this paper, we show that every surjective $n$-homomorphism ($n$-anti-homomorphism) from a Banach algebra $A$ into a semisimple Banach algebra $B$ is continuous.

This paper continues the investigation of the rst author begun in part one. The hereditary properties of n-homomorphism amenability for Banach algebras are investigated and the relations between n-homomorphism amenability of a Banach algebra and its ideals are found. Analogous to the character amenability, it is shown that the tensor product of two unital Banach algebras is n-homomorphism amena...

1.1. Linear algebra is assumed as a prerequisite to these notes. However, this section serves to review the language of abstract linear algebra (particularly tensor products) for use in the remainder of these notes. We assume the reader familiar with these notions, and therefore do not provide a complete and detailed treatment. In particular, we assume the reader knows what a homomorphism of al...

Recall that a continuous function $fcolon Xto Y$ between Tychonoff spaces is proper if and only if the Stone extension $f^{beta}colon beta Xtobeta Y$ takes remainder to remainder, in the sense that $f^{beta}[beta X-X]subseteq beta Y-Y$. We introduce the notion of ``taking remainder to remainder" to frames, and, using it, we define a frame homomorphism $hcolon Lto M$ to be $beta$-proper, $lambd...
