For any 1-1 measure preserving map T of a probability space we can form the [T, Id] and [T, T−1] automorphisms as well as the corresponding endomorphisms and decreasing sequence of σ-algebras. In this paper we show that if T has zero entropy and the [T, Id] automorphism is isomorphic to a Bernoulli shift then the decreasing sequence of σ-algebras generated by the [T, Id] endomorphism is standar...

In this paper we review the definition of the monodromy of an angle valued map based on linear relations as proposed in [3]. This definition provides an alternative treatment of the Jordan cells, topological persistence invariants of a circle valued maps introduced in [2]. We give a new proof that homotopic angle valued maps have the same monodromy, hence the same Jordan cells, and we show that...

We present a family of topology preserving mappings similar to the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) and the Generative Topographic Map (GTM) . These techniques can be considered as a non-linear projection from input or data space to the output or latent space (usually 2D or 3D), plus a clustering technique, that updates the centres. A common frame based on the GTM structure can be used with different ...

In this article, it is proved that under some conditions every bijective Jordan triple product homomorphism from generalized matrix algebras onto rings is additive. As a corollary, we obtain that every bijective Jordan triple product homomorphism from Mn(A) (A is not necessarily a prime algebra) onto an arbitrary ring R is additive.

The White-Point Preserving Least Squares (WPPLS) algorithm is a method for colour correction that constrains the white point to be exactly mapped into its correct XYZ equivalent. For printers, however, the mapping is from device coordinates to colorimetric densities: the device white is thus mapped into a zero vector and the WPPLS method cannot go forward. Here we use a polynomial regression mo...

Dan Rudolph showed that for an amenable group, Γ, the generic measure-preserving action of Γ on a Lebesgue space has zero entropy. Here, this is extended to nonamenable groups. In fact, the proof shows that every action is a factor of a zero entropy action! This uses the strange phenomena that in the presence of nonamenability, entropy can increase under a factor map. The proof uses Seward’s re...

The relationship between the Jordan forms of the matrix products AB and BA for some given A and B was first described by Harley Flanders in 1951. Their non-zero eigenvalues and non-singular Jordan structures are the same, but their singular Jordan block sizes can differ by 1. We present an elementary proof that owes its simplicity to a novel use of the Weyr characteristic.

In the group of (continuous) Jordan automorphisms, with the uniform topology, on a semisimple Banach algebra, we show that the connected component of the identity consists of automorphisms. P. Civin and B. Yood have shown that a Jordan homomorphism (that is, a homomorphism that preserves the product xoy = | (xy+yx)) from a Banach algebra onto a semisimple Banach algebra is continuous provided t...
