چکیده

We prove that for every two convex polytopes P, Q ∈ R with vol(P ) = vol(Q), there exists a continuous piecewise-linear (PL) volume-preserving map f : P → Q. The result extends to general PL-manifolds. The proof is inexplicit and uses the corresponding fact in the smooth category, proved by Moser in [Mo]. We conclude with various examples and combinatorial applications.

Remarks on Piecewise-linear Algebra

Introduction* A function f: V —>W between real vector spaces is piecewise-linear (PL) if there exists a partition of V into "open polyhedra" X€ (i.e., relative interiors of polyhedra) such that / is affine on each Xt. (As distinct to the case of PL-topology, no continuity is required of /.) Images and preimages under PL-maps give rise to finite unions of open polyhedra, or PL-seίs; conversely P...

Cell-like Mappings and Their Generalizations

Cell-like maps are those whose point-inverses are cell-like spaces (as subspaces of the domain). A space is cell-like if it is homeomorphic to a cellular subset of some manifold. This definition was given in 1968, at which time I began to study proper, cell-like maps between euclidean neighborhood retracts (ENR's). At the time, I pointed out that such maps form a category which includes proper,...

Spectrum Preserving Linear Maps Between Banach Algebras

In this paper we show that if A is a unital Banach algebra and B is a purely innite C*-algebra such that has a non-zero commutative maximal ideal and $phi:A rightarrow B$ is a unital surjective spectrum preserving linear map. Then $phi$ is a Jordan homomorphism.

The second dual of strongly zero-product preserving maps

The notion of strongly Lie zero-product preserving maps on normed algebras as a generalization of Lie zero-product preserving maps are dened. We give a necessary and sufficient condition from which a linear map between normed algebras to be strongly Lie zero-product preserving. Also some hereditary properties of strongly Lie zero-product preserving maps are presented. Finally the second dual of...

Manifolds of Piecewise Linear Maps and a Related Normed Linear Space

1. Spaces of piecewise linear maps. Let X and Y be separable polyhedra, X compact and Y locally compact; for the moment let them be connected and of dimension > 0 . Denoting the separable hilbert space of square-summable sequences by h, a space is an kmanifold if separable, metrizable and locally homeomorphic to k. In [4] the author showed that the space C(X, Y) of all continuous maps from X to...
