We show that if Γ is an irreducible lattice in a higher rank center-free semi-simple Lie group with no compact factors and having property (T) of Kazhdan, then Γ is operator algebraic superrigid, i.e., any unitary representation of Γ which generates a II1 factor extends to a homomorphism of the group von Neumann algebra LΓ. This generalizes results of Margulis, and Stuck and Zimmer, and answers...

in this paper, we show that every surjective $n$-homomorphism ($n$-anti-homomorphism) from a banach algebra $a$ into a semisimple banach algebra $b$ is continuous.

In this paper we prove that every n-Jordan homomorphis varphi:mathcal {A} longrightarrowmathcal {B} from unital Banach algebras mathcal {A} into varphi -commutative Banach algebra mathcal {B} satisfiying the condition varphi (x^2)=0 Longrightarrow varphi (x)=0, xin mathcal {A}, is an n-homomorphism. In this paper we prove that every n-Jordan homomorphism varphi:mathcal {A} longrightarrowmathcal...

In this paper, we show that every surjective $n$-homomorphism ($n$-anti-homomorphism) from a Banach algebra $A$ into a semisimple Banach algebra $B$ is continuous.

This paper continues the investigation of the rst author begun in part one. The hereditary properties of n-homomorphism amenability for Banach algebras are investigated and the relations between n-homomorphism amenability of a Banach algebra and its ideals are found. Analogous to the character amenability, it is shown that the tensor product of two unital Banach algebras is n-homomorphism amena...

and Applied Analysis 3 It should be noted that the mapping V : A∼ n → Orth A∼ defined by V F VF for all F ∈ A∼ n, where VF f F · f for every f ∈ A∼, is an algebra and Riesz isomorphism cf. 2, Proposition 2.2 . Theorem 2.1. For 0 ≤ f ∈ A∼, Tf is an interval preserving lattice homomorphism. Proof. Clearly, Tf is linear and positive. Since the mapping V is a lattice homomorphism and VF, VG ∈ Orth ...

In this paper we will study the properties of the least extension n(Λ) of a given intermediate logic Λ by a strong negation. It is shown that the mapping from Λ to n(Λ) is a homomorphism of complete lattices, preserving and reflecting finite model property, frame–completeness, interpolation and decidability. A general characterization of those constructive logics is given which are of the form ...

Recall that a continuous function $fcolon Xto Y$ between Tychonoff spaces is proper if and only if the Stone extension $f^{beta}colon beta Xtobeta Y$ takes remainder to remainder, in the sense that $f^{beta}[beta X-X]subseteq beta Y-Y$. We introduce the notion of ``taking remainder to remainder" to frames, and, using it, we define a frame homomorphism $hcolon Lto M$ to be $beta$-proper, $lambd...

We argue that weak containment is an appropriate notion of amenability for inverse semigroups. Given an inverse semigroup S and a homomorphism φ of S onto a group G, we show, under an assumption on ker(φ), that S has weak containment if and only if G is amenable and ker(φ) has weak containment. Using Fell bundle amenability, we find a related result for inverse semigroups with zero. We show tha...

We define the tensor product A ® S for arbitrary semilattices A and B. The construction is analogous to one used in ring theory (see 14], [7], [8]) and different from one studied by A. Waterman [12], D. Mowat [9], and Z. Shmuely [10]. We show that the semilattice A <3 B is a distributive lattice whenever A and B are distributive lattices, and we investigate the relationship between the Stone sp...
