The Bourgain Algebra of a Nest Algebra

In analogy with a construction from function theory, we herein define right, left, and two-sided Bourgain algebras associated with an operator algebra A. These algebras are defined initially in Banach space terms, using the weak-* topology on A, and our main result is to give a completely algebraic characterization of them in the case where A is a nest algebra. Specifically, if A = algN is a ne...

A Bound for the Nilpotency Class of a Lie Algebra

In the present paper, we prove that if L is a nilpotent Lie algebra whose proper subalge- bras are all nilpotent of class at most n, then the class of L is at most bnd=(d 1)c, where b c denotes the integral part and d is the minimal number of generators of L.

The Lie Algebra of Smooth Sections of a T-bundle

In this article, we generalize the concept of the Lie algebra of vector fields to the set of smooth sections of a T-bundle which is by definition a canonical generalization of the concept of a tangent bundle. We define a Lie bracket multiplication on this set so that it becomes a Lie algebra. In the particular case of tangent bundles this Lie algebra coincides with the Lie algebra of vector fie...
