A survey is given of the work on strong regularity for uniform algebras over the last thirty years, and some new results are proved, including the following. Let A be a uniform algebra on a compact space X and let E be the set of all those points x ∈ X such that A is not strongly regular at x. If E has no non-empty, perfect subsets then A is normal, and X is the character space of A. If X is ei...

let $a$ be a banach algebra and $x$ be a banach $a$-bimodule. then ${mathcal{s}}=a oplus x$, the $l^1$-direct sum of $a$ and $x$ becomes a module extension banach algebra when equipped with the algebra product $(a,x).(a',x')=(aa',ax'+xa').$ in this paper, we investigate biflatness and biprojectivity for these banach algebras. we also discuss on automatic continuity of derivations on ${mathcal{s...

We generalize the notion of the rank-generating function of a graded poset. Namely, by enumerating different chains in a poset, we can assign a quasi-symmetric function to the poset. This map is a Hopf algebra homomorphism between the reduced incidence Hopf algebra of posets and the Hopf algebra of quasi-symmetric functions. This work implies that the zeta polynomial of a poset may be viewed in...

We define an elliptic deformation of the Virasoro algebra. We conjecture that the [Formula: see text] Nekrasov partition function reproduces the chiral blocks of this algebra. We support this proposal by showing that at special points in the moduli space the 6d Nekrasov partition function reduces to the partition function of a 4d vortex theory supported on [Formula: see text], which is in turn ...

This article presents a verification based on a specific Boolean algebra, called , and symbolic reasoning on equations defined in this algebra. The formal definition of this algebra enables to model binary signals that include variables states, events, as well as physical delays between events. The behavior of the generic function blocks of the IEC 61131 standard as well as of PLC programs usin...

in the present paper, among other results, a decomposition formula is given for the w-bounded continuous negative definite functions of a topological *-semigroup s with a weight function w into a proper h*-algebra a in terms of w-bounded continuous positive definite a-valued functions on s. a generalization of a well-known result of k. harzallah is obtained. an earlier conjecture of the author ...
