Several modern approaches to separation of concerns support identification and encapsulation of important concerns that could not traditionally be encapsulated. They generally require that the software be written up front with the appropriate modularization. However, as software evolves, the need arises for new concerns, often of new kinds. This position paper motivates the need for on-demand r...

The static and dynamic properties of the isotropic XY-model (s = 1/2) on the inhomogeneous periodic chain, composed of N segments with n different exchange interactions and magnetic moments, in a transverse field h are obtained exactly at arbitrary temperatures. The properties are determined by introducing the generalized Jordan-Wigner transformation and by reducing the problem to a diagonaliza...

We study the “conformal groups” of Jordan algebras along the lines suggested by Kantor. They provide a natural generalization of the concept of conformal transformations that leave 2-angles invariant to spaces where “p-angles” (p ≥ 2) can be defined. We give an oscillator realization of the generalized conformal groups of Jordan algebras and Jordan triple systems. A complete list of the general...

Let R be a prime ring, H a generalized derivation of R and L a noncommutative Lie ideal of R. Suppose that usH(u)ut = 0 for all u ∈ L, where s ≥ 0, t ≥ 0 are fixed integers. Then H(x) = 0 for all x ∈ R unless char R = 2 and R satisfies S4, the standard identity in four variables. Let R be an associative ring with center Z(R). For x, y ∈ R, the commutator xy− yx will be denoted by [x, y]. An add...

Recently, Takahashi has introduced the James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants. In this paper, we present some sufficient conditions for uniform normal structure and therefore the fixed point property of a Banach space in terms of the James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants and the Ptolemy constant. Our main results of the paper significantly generalize and improve many known results in...

Mathieu and Ruddy proved that if be a unital spectral isometry from a unital C*-algebra Aonto a unital type I C*-algebra B whose primitive ideal space is Hausdorff and totallydisconnected, then is Jordan isomorphism. The aim of this note is to show that if be asurjective spectrum preserving additive map, then is a Jordan isomorphism without the extraassumption totally disconnected.

A century ago, Camille Jordan proved that the complex general linear group GLn(C) has the Jordan property: there is a Jordan constant Cn such that every finite subgroup H ≤ GLn(C) has an abelian subgroup H1 of index [H : H1] ≤ Cn. We show that every connected algebraic group G (which is not necessarily linear) has the Jordan property with the Jordan constant depending only on dimG, and that the...
