It is shown that a partial unital with more than q √ q+1−√q points in the Desarguesian plane of order q can be extended to a unital.

let r be a commutative ring with non-zero identity and m be a unital r-module. then the concept of quasi-secondary submodules of m is introduced and some results concerning this class of submodules is obtained

The Morita equivalence of m-regular involutive quantales in the context of the theory of Hilbert A-modules is presented. The corresponding fundamental representation theorems are shown. We also prove that two commutative m-regular involutive quantales are Morita equivalent if and only if they are isomorphic. In the paper [5] F. Borceux and E.M. Vitale made a first step in extending the theory o...

Let U be the classical unital in PG(2, q2) secant to `∞. By deriving PG(2, q) with respect to a derivation set disjoint from U we obtain a new unital U ′ in the Hall plane of order q2. We show that this unital contains O’Nan configurations and is not isomorphic to the known unitals of the Hall plane, hence it forms a new class of unitals in the Hall plane.

A Buekenhout-Tits unital is defined to be a unital in PG(2, q2) obtained by coning the Tits ovoid using Buekenhout’s parabolic method. The full linear collineation group stabilizing this unital is computed, and related design questions are also addressed. While the answers to the design questions are very similar to those obtained for Buekenhout-Metz unitals, the group theoretic results are qui...

We introduce and launch a study of compression bases in unital groups. The family of all compressions on a compressible group and the family of all direct compressions on a unital group are examples of compression bases. In this article we show that the properties of the compatibility relation in a compressible group generalize to unital groups with compression bases. AMS Classification: Primar...

A linear mapping T from a subspace E of a Banach algebra into another Banach algebra is called spectrally bounded if there is a constant M ≥ 0 such that r(Tx) ≤ M r(x) for all x ∈ E, where r( · ) denotes the spectral radius. We prove that every spectrally bounded unital operator from a unital purely infinite simple C∗-algebra onto a unital semisimple Banach algebra is a Jordan epimorphism.

We give some new characterizations, of unitaries, isometries, unital operator spaces, unital function spaces, operator systems, C-algebras, and related objects. Several characterizations of these objects are already known; see e.g. [15, Theorem 9.5.16], [1], the discussion on p. 316 of [4], [14], and [13]. One difference between our paper and these cited references, is that our results only use...

Let C = C(X) be the unital C*-algebra of all continuous functions on a finite CW complex X and let A be a unital simple C*-algebra with tracial rank at most one. We show that two unital monomorphisms φ,ψ : C → A are asymptotically unitarily equivalent, i.e., there exists a continuous path of unitaries {ut : t ∈ [0, 1)} ⊂ A such that lim t→1 utφ(f)ut = ψ(f) for all f ∈ C(X),
