 Order and spectrum preserving maps on positive operators We describe the general form of surjective maps on the cone of all positive operators which preserve order and spectrum. The result is optimal as shown by counterexamples. As an easy consequence we characterize surjective order and spectrum preserving maps on the set of all self-adjoint operators.

 The C*-algebras of Compact Transformation Groups We investigate the representation theory of the crossed-product $C^*$-algebra associated to a compact group $G$ acting on a locally compact space $X$ when the stability subgroups vary discontinuously. Our main result applies when $G$ has a principal stability subgroup or $X$ is locally of finite $G$-orbit type. Then the upper multiplicity of the representation of the crossed product induced from an irreducible representation $V$ of a stability subgroup is obtained by restricting $V$ to a certain closed subgroup of the stability subgroup and taking the maximum of the multiplicities of the irreducible summands occurring in the restriction of $V$. As a corollary we obtain that when the trivial subgroup is a principal stability subgroup, the crossed product is a Fell algebra if and only if every stability subgroup is abelian. A second corollary is that the $C^*$-algebra of the motion group $\mathbb{R}^n\rtimes \operatorname{SO}(n)$ is a Fell algebra. This uses the classical branching theorem for the special orthogonal group $\operatorname{SO}(n)$ with respect to $\operatorname{SO}(n-1)$. Since proper transformation groups are locally induced from the actions of compact groups, we describe how some of our results can be extended to transformation groups that are locally proper.

 The Bochner-Schoenberg-Eberlein Property and Spectral Synthesis for Certain Banach Algebra Products Associated with two commutative Banach algebras $A$ and $B$ and a character $\theta$ of $B$ is a certain Banach algebra product $A\times_\theta B$, which is a splitting extension of $B$ by $A$. We investigate two topics for the algebra $A\times_\theta B$ in relation to the corresponding ones of $A$ and $B$. The first one is the Bochner-Schoenberg-Eberlein property and the algebra of Bochner-Schoenberg-Eberlein functions on the spectrum, whereas the second one concerns the wide range of spectral synthesis problems for $A\times_\theta B$.

 Automatic Continuity of Homomorphisms in Non-associative Banach Algebras We introduce the concept of a rare element in a non-associative normed algebra and show that the existence of such element is the only obstruction to continuity of a surjective homomorphism from a non-associative Banach algebra to a unital normed algebra with simple completion. Unital associative algebras do not admit any rare element and hence automatic continuity holds.

 Projectors on the Generalized Eigenspaces for Neutral Functional Differential Equations in $L^{p}$ Spaces We present the explicit formulas for the projectors on the generalized eigenspaces associated with some eigenvalues for linear neutral functional differential equations (NFDE) in $L^{p}$ spaces by using integrated semigroup theory. The analysis is based on the main result established elsewhere by the authors and results by Magal and Ruan on non-densely defined Cauchy problem. We formulate the NFDE as a non-densely defined Cauchy problem and obtain some spectral properties from which we then derive explicit formulas for the projectors on the generalized eigenspaces associated with some eigenvalues. Such explicit formulas are important in studying bifurcations in some semi-linear problems.

 The Spectrum of an Infinite Graph In this paper, we consider the (essential) spectrum of the discrete Laplacian of an infinite graph. We introduce a new quantity for an infinite graph, in terms of which we give new lower bound estimates of the (essential) spectrum and give also upper bound estimates when the infinite graph is bipartite. We give sharp estimates of the (essential) spectrum for several examples of infinite graphs. Keywords:infinite graph, discrete Laplacian, spectrum, essential spectrumCategories:05C50, 58G25
