It is shown that a separable ${{C}^{*}}$-algebra is inner quasidiagonal if and only if it has a separating family of quasidiagonal irreducible representations. As a consequence, a separable ${{C}^{*}}$-algebra is a strong $\text{NF}$ algebra if and only if it is nuclear and has a separating family of quasidiagonal irreducible representations. We also obtain some permanence properties of the class of inner quasidiagonal ${{C}^{*}}$-algebras.

We give explicit parametrizations for all parabolic geodesics in 3-dimensional Sasakian space forms.

We show that every free semigroup algebra has a (strongly) unique Banach space predual. We also provide a new simpler proof that a weak-$*$ closed unital operator algebra containing a weak-$*$ dense subalgebra of compact operators has a unique Banach space predual.

We classify real hypersurfaces in complex projective space whose structure Jacobi operator satisfies two conditions at the same time.

We prove that every complete family of linearly non-degenerate rational curves of degree $e\,>\,2$ in ${{\mathbb{P}}^{n}}$ has at most $n\,-\,1$ moduli. For $e\,=\,2$ we prove that such a family has at most $n$ moduli. The general method involves exhibiting a map from the base of a family $X$ to the Grassmannian of $e$-planes in ${{\mathbb{P}}^{n}}$ and analyzing the resulting map on cohomology.

We study the transfer of nondegeneracy between Lie triple systems and their standard Lie algebra envelopes as well as between Kantor pairs, their associated Lie triple systems, and their Lie algebra envelopes. We also show that simple Kantor pairs and Lie triple systems in characteristic 0 are nondegenerate.

We comment on domain conditions that regulate when the adjoint of the sum or product of two unbounded operators is the sum or product of their adjoints, and related closure issues. The quantum mechanical problem $\text{PHP}$ essentially selfadjoint for unbounded Hamiltonians is addressed, with new results.

In this paper, a fixed point equation of the compound-exponential type distributions is derived, and under some regular conditions, both the existence and uniqueness of this fixed point equation are investigated. A question posed by Pitman and Yor can be partially answered by using our approach.

We study infinitesimal deformations of holomorphic maps of compact, complex, Kähler manifolds. In particular, we describe a generalization of Bloch's semiregularity map that annihilates obstructions to deform holomorphic maps with fixed codomain.

In this paper, another relationship between the quasi-ideal adequate transversals of an abundant semigroup is given. We introduce the concept of a weakly multiplicative adequate transversal and the classic result that an adequate transversal is multiplicative if and only if it is weakly multiplicative and a quasi-ideal is obtained. Also, we give two equivalent conditions for an adequate transversal to be weakly multiplicative. We then consider the case when $I$ and $\Lambda $ (defined below) are bands. This is analogous to the inverse transversal if the regularity condition is adjoined.

We prove, under some conditions on the domains, that the adjoint of the sum of two unbounded operators is the sum of their adjoints in both Hilbert and Banach space settings. A similar result about the closure of operators is also proved. Some interesting consequences and examples “spice up” the paper.

In this paper, we are going to investigate the canonical property of solutions of systems of differential equations having a singularity and turning point of even order. First, by a replacement, we transform the system to the Sturm–Liouville equation with turning point. Using of the asymptotic estimates provided by Eberhard, Freiling, and Schneider for a special fundamental system of solutions of the Sturm–Liouville equation, we study the infinite product representation of solutions of the systems. Then we transform the Sturm–Liouville equation with turning point to the equation with singularity, then we study the asymptotic behavior of its solutions. Such representations are relevant to the inverse spectral problem.

Building on the work of Nogin, we prove that the braid group ${{B}_{4}}$ acts transitively on full exceptional collections of vector bundles on Fano threefolds with ${{b}_{2}}\,=\,1$ and ${{b}_{3}}\,=\,0$. Equivalently, this group acts transitively on the set of simple helices (considered up to a shift in the derived category) on such a Fano threefold. We also prove that on threefolds with ${{b}_{2}}\,=\,1$ and very ample anticanonical class, every exceptional coherent sheaf is locally free.

We establish a discrete-time criteria guaranteeing the existence of an exponential dichotomy in the continuous-time behavior of an abstract evolution family. We prove that an evolution family $\mathcal{U}\,=\,{{\{U(t,\,s)\}}_{t\ge s\ge 0}}$ acting on a Banach space $X$ is uniformly exponentially dichotomic (with respect to its continuous-time behavior) if and only if the corresponding difference equation with the inhomogeneous term from a vector-valued Orlicz sequence space ${{l}^{\Phi }}(\mathbb{N},\,X)$ admits a solution in the same ${{l}^{\Phi }}(\mathbb{N},\,X)$. The technique of proof effectively eliminates the continuity hypothesis on the evolution family (i.e., we do not assume that $U(\,\cdot \,,\,s)x$ or $U(t,\,\cdot \,)x$ is continuous on $[s,\,\infty )$, and respectively $[0,\,t])$. Thus, some known results given by Coffman and Schaffer, Perron, and Ta Li are extended.

Writing $s\,=\,\sigma \,+\,it$ for a complex variable, it is proved that the modulus of the gamma function, $\left| \Gamma (s) \right|$, is strictly monotone increasing with respect to $\sigma $ whenever $\left| t \right|\,>\,5/4$. It is also shown that this result is false for $\left| t \right|\,\le \,1$.

In this paper we characterize the positive definite measures with discrete Fourier transform. As an application we provide a characterization of pure point diffraction in locally compact Abelian groups.

We show that there is an infinite family of hyperbolic knots such that each knot admits a cyclic surgery $m$ whose adjacent surgeries $m\,-\,1$ and $m\,+\,1$ are toroidal. This gives an affirmative answer to a question asked by Boyer and Zhang.

In this note we give a brief review of the construction of a toric variety $\mathcal{V}$ coming from a genus $g\,\ge \,2$ Riemann surface ${{\sum }^{g}}$ equipped with a trinion, or pair of pants, decomposition. This was outlined by J. Hurtubise and L. C. Jeffrey. A. Tyurin used this construction on a certain collection of trinion decomposed surfaces to produce a variety $D{{M}_{g,}}$ the so-called Delzant model of moduli space, for each genus $g$. We conclude this note with some basic facts about the moment polytopes of the varieties $\mathcal{V}$. In particular, we show that the varieties $D{{M}_{g}}$ constructed by Tyurin, and claimed to be smooth, are in fact singular for $g\,\ge \,3$.

We consider approximation of multivariate functions in Sobolev spaces by high order Parzen windows in a non-uniform sampling setting. Sampling points are neither i.i.d. nor regular, but are noised from regular grids by non-uniform shifts of a probability density function. Sample function values at sampling points are drawn according to probability measures with expected values being values of the approximated function. The approximation orders are estimated by means of regularity of the approximated function, the density function, and the order of the Parzen windows, under suitable choices of the scaling parameter.
