We discuss some key results from convex analysis in the setting of topological groups and monoids. These include separation theorems, Krein-Milman type theorems, and minimax theorems.

‎Let $X$ be a real normed  space, then  $C(subseteq X)$  is  functionally  convex  (briefly, $F$-convex), if  $T(C)subseteq Bbb R $ is  convex for all bounded linear transformations $Tin B(X,R)$; and $K(subseteq X)$  is  functionally   closed (briefly, $F$-closed), if  $T(K)subseteq Bbb R $ is  closed  for all bounded linear transformations $Tin B(X,R)$. We improve the    Krein-Milman theorem  ...

We are going to answer some open questions in the theory of hyperconvex metric spaces. We prove that in complete R-trees hyperconvex hulls are uniquely determined. Next we show that hyperconvexity of subsets of normed spaces implies their convexity if and only if the space under consideration is strictly convex. Moreover, we prove a Krein-Milman type theorem for Rtrees. Finally, we discuss a ge...

In [4], Ryll-Nardzewski gave what he called an 'old-fashioned' proof of his famous fixed point theorem. The purpose of the present note is to give an even more old-fashioned proof of the fixed point theorem. In fact, our proof uses nothing more than a category argument and the classical Krein-Milman theorem. Our terminology and notation shall be those of Kelley, Namioka et al. [2]. The followin...

We study the quantum ( $$C^*$$ ) convexity structure of normalized positive operator valued measures (POVMs) on measurable spaces. In particular, it is seen that unlike extreme points under classical convexity, -extreme POVMs countable spaces (in particular for finite sets) are always spectral (normalized projection measures). More generally shown atomic spectral. A Krein–Milman type theorem ha...
