We prove that the infinite tensor power of a unital separable C∗-algebra absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra Z tensorially if and only if it contains, unitally, a subhomogeneous algebra without characters. This yields a succinct universal property for Z in a category so large that there are no unital separable C∗-algebras without characters known to lie outside it. This category moreover contains the ...

A subset selection Z assigns to each partially ordered set P a certain collection ZP of subsets. The theory of topological and of algebraic (i.e. finitary) closure spaces extends to the general Z-level, by replacing finite or directed sets, respectively, with arbitrary ‘Z-sets’. This leads to a theory of Z-union completeness, Z-arity, Z-soberness etc. Order-theoretical notions such as complete ...

We primarily consider here the L mapping properties of a class of strongly singular Radon transforms on the Heisenberg group H; these are convolution operators on H with kernels of the form M(z, t) = K(z)δ0(t) where K is a strongly singular kernel on C . Our results are obtained by utilizing the group Fourier transform and uniform asymptotic forms for Laguerre functions due to Erdélyi. We also ...

We conjecture that for the Conway polynomial C(z) of an amphicheiral knot, the product C(z)C(iz)C(z 2) must be a square inside the ring of polynomials with Z 4 coefficients. This conjecture has two ancestors. One is a theorem of Kawauchi and Hartley, which says that the Conway polynomial of a strongly amphicheiral knot must decompose as φ(z)φ(−z). This implies our main conjecture, at least for ...

In the present paper, using Jack’s lemma, the authors investigate the differential inequality ∣∣∣(1 − α) Ip(n,λ)f (z) zp + α Ip(n + 1, λ)f (z) Ip(n,λ)f (z) − 1 ∣∣∣ < μ, z ∈ E regarding multivalent functions defined by multiplier transfomation in the open unit disk E = {z : |z| < 1} . As consequences, sufficient conditions for univalence, starlikeness and strongly starlikeness of certain analyti...

We study the error to the discretization in time of a parabolic evolution equation by a single-step method or by a multistep method when the initial condition is not regular. Introduction. The problem we are considering is the parabolic evolution equation ( u'(t) + Au(t) = 0, 0<t<T, (*) I (u(0) = uo. Here, A is a linear operator, unbounded on Hubert space H, of domain D(A) dense in H; the initi...

Antialgal activity of Zataria multiflora, Satureja khuzistanica and S. rechingeri were evaluated. These plant species are easily cultivable and their algicidal activity make them suitable candidate as biocontrol. This study aimed to identify effective algicidal compounds, practically new algicidal agents from essential oils of plants that could inhibit the growth of red tide microalgae. Prepare...

A capillary plasma z-pinch as an alternative active medium of soft X-Ray lasers was studied experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical analysis was based on the self consistent solution of the so called “snow plow” model. The dynamics of pinched plasma is determined by the capillary parameters and by the time dependence of electrical current passing through it. The current time dependenc...
