We show that Bowen’s equation, which characterises the Hausdorff dimension of certain sets in terms of the topological pressure of an expanding conformal map, applies in greater generality than has been heretofore established. In particular, we consider an arbitrary subset Z of a compact metric space and require only that the lower Lyapunov exponents be positive on Z, together with a tempered c...

For the usual norm on spaces C(K) and C b (Ω) of all continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space K (all bounded continuous functions on a locally compact Hausdorff space Ω), the following equalities are proved: lim t→0+ ||f + tg|| C(K) − ||f || C(K) t = max x∈{z | |f (z)|=||f ||} Re(e −i arg f (x) g(x)). and lim t→0+ ||f + tg|| C b (Ω) − ||f || C b (Ω) t = inf δ>0 sup x∈{z | |f (z)|≥||f |...

Let M be a separable compact Hausdorff space with dim M ≤ 2 and θ : M → M be a homeomorphism with prime period p (p ≥ 2). Set Mθ = {x ∈ M | θ(x) = x} 6= ∅ and M0 = M\Mθ. Suppose that M0 is dense in M and H(M0/θ,Z) ∼= 0, H(χ(M0/θ),Z) ∼= 0. Let M ′ be another separable compact Hausdorff space with dim M ′ ≤ 2 and θ′ be the self–homeomorphism of M ′ with prime period p. Suppose that M ′ 0 = M ′\M ...

By a quantum metric space we mean a C∗-algebra (or more generally an order-unit space) equipped with a generalization of the usual Lipschitz seminorm on functions which one associates to an ordinary metric. We develop for compact quantum metric spaces a version of Gromov–Hausdorff distance. We show that the basic theorems of the classical theory have natural quantum analogues. Our main example ...

A systematic analysis is made of the character of the free and free abelian topological groups on uniform spaces and on topological spaces. In the case of the free abelian topological group on a uniform space, expressions are given for the character in terms of simple cardinal invariants of the family of uniformly continuous pseudometrics of the given uniform space and of the uniformity itself....

For a closed subset K of a compact metric space A possessing an α-regular measure μ with μ(K) > 0, we prove that whenever s > α, any sequence of weighted minimal Riesz s-energy configurations ωN = {x i,N} N i=1 on K (for ‘nice’ weights) is quasi-uniform in the sense that the ratios of its mesh norm to separation distance remain bounded as N grows large. Furthermore, if K is an α-rectifiable com...

Let X be a Hausdorff compact space and C(X) be the algebra of all continuous complex-valued functions on X, endowed with the supremum norm. We say that C(X) is (approximately) n-th root closed if any function from C(X) is (approximately) equal to the n-th power of another function. We characterize the approximate n-th root closedness of C(X) in terms of ndivisibility of first Čech cohomology gr...

We give sufficient conditions for a group of homeomorphisms of a compact Hausdorff space to have an invariant probability measure. For a complex projective space CP we give a necessary condition for a subgroup of Aut(CP) to have an invariant probability measure. We discuss two approaches to Auslander’s conjecture.

In this paper, we give the characterization of some classes of compact operators given by matrices on the normed sequence space , which is a special case of the paranormed Riesz -difference sequence space , . For this purpose, we apply the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness and use some results.

We introduce the concept of a subordination, which is dual to the well-known concept of a precontact on a Boolean algebra. We develop a full categorical duality between Boolean algebras with a subordination and Stone spaces with a closed relation, thus generalizing the results of [14]. We introduce the concept of an irreducible equivalence relation, and that of a Gleason space, which is a pair ...
