Cancellation Does Not Imply Stable Rank One
An unital C∗-algebra A is said to have cancellation of projections if the semigroup D(A) of Murray-von Neumann equivalence classes of projections in matrices over A is cancellative. It has long been known that stable rank one implies cancellation for any A, and some partial converses have been established. In the sequel it is proved that cancellation does not imply stable rank one for simple, s...
متن کاملNegative correlation and log-concavity
OF THE DISSERTATION Negative correlation and log-concavity by Michael Neiman Dissertation Director: Jeff Kahn This thesis is concerned with negative correlation and log-concavity properties and relations between them, with much of our motivation provided by [40], [46], and [12]. Our main results include a proof that “almost exchangeable” measures satisfy the “FederMihail” property; counterexamp...
متن کاملSuperintelligence Does Not Imply Benevolence
Asmachines become capable ofmore autonomous and intelligent behavior, will they also display more morally desirable behavior? Earth’s history tends to suggest that increasing intelligence, knowledge, and rationality will result in more cooperative and benevolent behavior. Animals with sophisticated nervous systems track and punish exploitative behavior, while rewarding cooperation. Humans form ...
متن کاملCombinatorial conjectures that imply local log-concavity of graph genus polynomials
The 25-year old LCGD Conjecture is that the genus distribution of every graph is log-concave. We present herein a new topological conjecture, called the Local Log-Concavity Conjecture. We also present a purely combinatorial conjecture, which we prove to be equivalent to the Local Log-Concavity Conjecture. We use the equivalence to prove the Local Log-Concavity Conjecture for graphs of maximum d...
متن کاملMatroids and log-concavity
We show that f -vectors of matroid complexes of realizable matroids are strictly log-concave. This was conjectured by Mason in 1972. Our proof uses the recent result by Huh and Katz who showed that the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a realizable matroid form a log-concave sequence. We also prove a statement on log-concavity of h-vectors which strengthens a result by Brown and ...
