A RANK THEOREM FOR NONLINEAR SEMI-FREDHOLM OPERATORS BETWEEN TWO BANACH MANIFOLDS

In this article thc concept of local conjugation of a C^1 mapping between two Banach manifolds is introduced. Thcn a rank theorem for nonlinear scmi-Fredholm operators between two Banach manifolds and a finite rank theorem are established in global analysis.

SHARED VALUE IN A FINITE-DIMENSIONAL BANACH MANIFOLD

Sufficient conditions are given to assert that two C1-mappings share only one value in a connected compact Banach manifold modelled over Rn. The proof of the result, which is based upon continuation methods, is constructive.

A geometric characterisation of real C^(*)-algebras

We characterise the positive cone of a real C^(*)-algebra geometrically.Given an open coneΩin a real Banach space V,with the closureΩ,we show thatΩis the interior of the positive cone of a unital real C^(*)-algebra if and only if it is a Finsler symmetric cone with an orientable extension,which is equivalent to the condition that V is,in an equivalent norm,the Hermitian part of a unital real C^(*)-algebra with the positive coneΩ.

Geometric Gibbs theory

We extend the classical Gibbs theory for smooth potentials to the geometric Gibbs theory for certain continuous potentials.We study the existence and uniqueness and the compatibility of geometric Gibbs measures associated with these continuous potentials.We introduce a complex Banach manifold structure on the space of these continuous potentials as well as on the space of all geometric Gibbs measures.We prove that with this complex Banach manifold structure,the space is complete and,moreover,is the completion of the space of all smooth potentials as well as the space of all classical Gibbs measures.There is a maximum metric on the space,which is incomplete.We prove that the topology induced by the newly introduced complex Banach manifold structure and the topology induced by the maximal metric are the same.We prove that a geometric Gibbs measure is an equilibrium state,and the in mum of the metric entropy function on the space is zero.

On geometric structure of generalized projections in C~*-algebras

Let H be a Hilbert space and A ■ B(H) be a C~*-subalgebra. This paper is devoted to studying the set gP of generalized projections in A from a differential geometric point of view, and mainly focuses on geodesic curves. We prove that the space gP is a C~∞ Banach submanifold of A, and a homogeneous reductive space under the action of Banach Lie group U_A of A. Moreover, we compute the geodesics of gP in a standard fashion, and prove that any generalized projection in a prescribed neighbourhood of p∈gP can be joined with p by a unique geodesic curve in gP.
