 Induced Coactions of Discrete Groups on $C^*$-Algebras Using the close relationship between coactions of discrete groups and Fell bundles, we introduce a procedure for inducing a $C^*$-coaction $\delta\colon D\to D\otimes C^*(G/N)$ of a quotient group $G/N$ of a discrete group $G$ to a $C^*$-coaction $\Ind\delta\colon\Ind D\to \Ind D\otimes C^*(G)$ of $G$. We show that induced coactions behave in many respects similarly to induced actions. In particular, as an analogue of the well known imprimitivity theorem for induced actions we prove that the crossed products $\Ind D\times_{\Ind\delta}G$ and $D\times_{\delta}G/N$ are always Morita equivalent. We also obtain nonabelian analogues of a theorem of Olesen and Pedersen which show that there is a duality between induced coactions and twisted actions in the sense of Green. We further investigate amenability of Fell bundles corresponding to induced coactions. Category:46L55

 Quotient Hereditarily Indecomposable Banach Spaces A Banach space $X$ is said to be {\it quotient hereditarily indecomposable\/} if no infinite dimensional quotient of a subspace of $X$ is decomposable. We provide an example of a quotient hereditarily indecomposable space, namely the space $X_{\GM}$ constructed by W.~T.~Gowers and B.~Maurey in \cite{GM}. Then we provide an example of a reflexive hereditarily indecomposable space $\hat{X}$ whose dual is not hereditarily indecomposable; so $\hat{X}$ is not quotient hereditarily indecomposable. We also show that every operator on $\hat{X}^*$ is a strictly singular perturbation of an homothetic map. Categories:46B20, 47B99

 Symmetric sequence subspaces of $C(\alpha)$, II If $\alpha$ is an ordinal, then the space of all ordinals less than or equal to $\alpha$ is a compact Hausdorff space when endowed with the order topology. Let $C(\alpha)$ be the space of all continuous real-valued functions defined on the ordinal interval $[0, \alpha]$. We characterize the symmetric sequence spaces which embed into $C(\alpha)$ for some countable ordinal $\alpha$. A hierarchy $(E_\alpha)$ of symmetric sequence spaces is constructed so that, for each countable ordinal $\alpha$, $E_\alpha$ embeds into $C(\omega^{\omega^\alpha})$, but does not embed into $C(\omega^{\omega^\beta})$ for any $\beta < \alpha$.

 Homeomorphic Analytic Maps into the Maximal Ideal Space of $H^\infty$ Let $m$ be a point of the maximal ideal space of $\papa$ with nontrivial Gleason part $P(m)$. If $L_m \colon \disc \rr P(m)$ is the Hoffman map, we show that $\papa \circ L_m$ is a closed subalgebra of $\papa$. We characterize the points $m$ for which $L_m$ is a homeomorphism in terms of interpolating sequences, and we show that in this case $\papa \circ L_m$ coincides with $\papa$. Also, if $I_m$ is the ideal of functions in $\papa$ that identically vanish on $P(m)$, we estimate the distance of any $f\in \papa$ to $I_m$. Categories:30H05, 46J20

 Separable Reduction and Supporting Properties of FrÃ©chet-Like Normals in Banach Spaces We develop a method of separable reduction for Fr\'{e}chet-like normals and $\epsilon$-normals to arbitrary sets in general Banach spaces. This method allows us to reduce certain problems involving such normals in nonseparable spaces to the separable case. It is particularly helpful in Asplund spaces where every separable subspace admits a Fr\'{e}chet smooth renorm. As an applicaton of the separable reduction method in Asplund spaces, we provide a new direct proof of a nonconvex extension of the celebrated Bishop-Phelps density theorem. Moreover, in this way we establish new characterizations of Asplund spaces in terms of $\epsilon$-normals.

 Compound invariants and mixed $F$-, $\DF$-power spaces The problems on isomorphic classification and quasiequivalence of bases are studied for the class of mixed $F$-, $\DF$-power series spaces, {\it i.e.} the spaces of the following kind $$G(\la,a)=\lim_{p \to \infty} \proj \biggl(\lim_{q \to \infty}\ind \Bigl(\ell_1\bigl(a_i (p,q)\bigr)\Bigr)\biggr),$$ where $a_i (p,q)=\exp\bigl((p-\la_i q)a_i\bigr)$, $p,q \in \N$, and $\la =( \la_i)_{i \in \N}$, $a=(a_i)_{i \in \N}$ are some sequences of positive numbers. These spaces, up to isomorphisms, are basis subspaces of tensor products of power series spaces of $F$- and $\DF$-types, respectively. The $m$-rectangle characteristic $\mu_m^{\lambda,a}(\delta,\varepsilon; \tau,t)$, $m \in \N$ of the space $G(\la,a)$ is defined as the number of members of the sequence $(\la_i, a_i)_{i \in \N}$ which are contained in the union of $m$ rectangles $P_k = (\delta_k, \varepsilon_k] \times (\tau_k, t_k]$, $k = 1,2, \ldots, m$. It is shown that each $m$-rectangle characteristic is an invariant on the considered class under some proper definition of an equivalency relation. The main tool are new compound invariants, which combine some version of the classical approximative dimensions (Kolmogorov, Pe{\l}czynski) with appropriate geometrical and interpolational operations under neighborhoods of the origin (taken from a given basis).

CJM 1998 (vol 50 pp. 673) Carey, Alan; Phillips, John  Fredholm modules and spectral flow An {\it odd unbounded\/} (respectively,$p$-{\it summable}) {\it Fredholm module\/} for a unital Banach$\ast$-algebra,$A$, is a pair$(H,D)$where$A$is represented on the Hilbert space,$H$, and$D$is an unbounded self-adjoint operator on$H$satisfying: \item{(1)}$(1+D^2)^{-1}$is compact (respectively,$\Trace\bigl((1+D^2)^{-(p/2)}\bigr) <\infty$), and \item{(2)}$\{a\in A\mid [D,a]$is bounded$\}$is a dense$\ast-$subalgebra of$A$. If$u$is a unitary in the dense$\ast-$subalgebra mentioned in (2) then $$uDu^\ast=D+u[D,u^{\ast}]=D+B$$ where$B$is a bounded self-adjoint operator. The path $$D_t^u:=(1-t) D+tuDu^\ast=D+tB$$ is a continuous'' path of unbounded self-adjoint Fredholm'' operators. More precisely, we show that $$F_t^u:=D_t^u \bigl(1+(D_t^u)^2\bigr)^{-{1\over 2}}$$ is a norm-continuous path of (bounded) self-adjoint Fredholm operators. The {\it spectral flow\/} of this path$\{F_t^u\}$(or$\{ D_t^u\}$) is roughly speaking the net number of eigenvalues that pass through$0$in the positive direction as$t$runs from$0$to$1$. This integer, $$\sf(\{D_t^u\}):=\sf(\{F_t^u\}),$$ recovers the pairing of the$K$-homology class$[D]$with the$K$-theory class [$u$]. We use I.~M.~Singer's idea (as did E.~Getzler in the$\theta$-summable case) to consider the operator$B$as a parameter in the Banach manifold,$B_{\sa}(H)$, so that spectral flow can be exhibited as the integral of a closed$1$-form on this manifold. Now, for$B$in our manifold, any$X\in T_B(B_{\sa}(H))$is given by an$X$in$B_{\sa}(H)$as the derivative at$B$along the curve$t\mapsto B+tX$in the manifold. Then we show that for$m$a sufficiently large half-integer: $$\alpha (X)={1\over {\tilde {C}_m}}\Tr \Bigl(X\bigl(1+(D+B)^2\bigr)^{-m}\Bigr)$$ is a closed$1$-form. For any piecewise smooth path$\{D_t=D+B_t\}$with$D_0$and$D_1$unitarily equivalent we show that $$\sf(\{D_t\})={1\over {\tilde {C}_m}} \int_0^1\Tr \Bigl({d\over {dt}} (D_t)(1+D_t^2)^{-m}\Bigr)\,dt$$ the integral of the$1$-form$\alpha$. If$D_0$and$D_1$are not unitarily equivalent, we must add a pair of correction terms to the right-hand side. We also prove a bounded finitely summable version of the form: $$\sf(\{F_t\})={1\over C_n}\int_0^1\Tr\Bigl({d\over dt}(F_t)(1-F_t^2)^n\Bigr)\,dt$$ for$n\geq{{p-1}\over 2}$an integer. The unbounded case is proved by reducing to the bounded case via the map$D\mapsto F=D(1+D^2 )^{-{1\over 2}}$. We prove simultaneously a type II version of our results.

We give a sufficient condition on the symbol$f$so that$h$belongs to the Schatten class${\cal S}_p$,$1\le p<+\infty$. Categories:32A37, 47B35, 47B10, 46E22 135.

Factorization in the invertible group of a$C^*$-algebra In this paper we consider the following problem: Given a unital \cs\$A$and a collection of elements$S$in the identity component of the invertible group of$A$, denoted \ino, characterize the group of finite products of elements of$S$. The particular$C^*$-algebras studied in this paper are either unital purely infinite simple or of the form \tenp, where$A$is any \cs\ and$K$is the compact operators on an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space. The types of elements used in the factorizations are unipotents ($1+$nilpotent), positive invertibles and symmetries ($s^2=1$). First we determine the groups of finite products for each collection of elements in \tenp. Then we give upper bounds on the number of factors needed in these cases. The main result, which uses results for \tenp, is that for$A$unital purely infinite and simple, \ino\ is generated by each of these collections of elements. Category:46L05 137. CJM 1997 (vol 49 pp. 1242) Randrianantoanina, Beata $1$-complemented subspaces of spaces with$1$-unconditional bases We prove that if$X$is a complex strictly monotone sequence space with$1$-un\-con\-di\-tion\-al basis,$Y \subseteq X$has no bands isometric to$\ell_2^2$and$Y$is the range of norm-one projection from$X$, then$Y$is a closed linear span a family of mutually disjoint vectors in$X$. We completely characterize$1$-complemented subspaces and norm-one projections in complex spaces$\ell_p(\ell_q)$for$1 \leq p, q < \infty$. Finally we give a full description of the subspaces that are spanned by a family of disjointly supported vectors and which are$1$-complemented in (real or complex) Orlicz or Lorentz sequence spaces. In particular if an Orlicz or Lorentz space$X$is not isomorphic to$\ell_p$for some$1 \leq p < \infty$then the only subspaces of$X$which are$1$-complemented and disjointly supported are the closed linear spans of block bases with constant coefficients.

CJM 1997 (vol 49 pp. 963) Lin, Huaxin  Homomorphisms from$C(X)$into$C^*$-algebras Let$A$be a simple$C^*$-algebra with real rank zero, stable rank one and weakly unperforated$K_0(A)$of countable rank. We show that a monomorphism$\phi\colon C(S^2) \to A$can be approximated pointwise by homomorphisms from$C(S^2)$into$A$with finite dimensional range if and only if certain index vanishes. In particular, we show that every homomorphism$\phi$from$C(S^2)$into a UHF-algebra can be approximated pointwise by homomorphisms from$C(S^2)$into the UHF-algebra with finite dimensional range. As an application, we show that if$A$is a simple$C^*$-algebra of real rank zero and is an inductive limit of matrices over$C(S^2)$then$A$is an AF-algebra. Similar results for tori are also obtained. Classification of${\bf Hom}\bigl(C(X),A\bigr)$for lower dimensional spaces is also studied.

The Classical Limit of Dynamics for Spaces Quantized by an Action of${\Bbb R}^{\lowercase{d}}$We have previously shown how to construct a deformation quantization of any locally compact space on which a vector group acts. Within this framework we show here that, for a natural class of Hamiltonians, the quantum evolutions will have the classical evolution as their classical limit. Categories:46L60, 46l55, 81S30 140.

Multiplication Invariant Subspaces of Hardy Spaces This paper studies closed subspaces$L$of the Hardy spaces$H^p$which are$g$-invariant ({\it i.e.},$g\cdot L \subseteq L)$where$g$is inner,$g\neq 1$. If$p=2$, the Wold decomposition theorem implies that there is a countable $g$-basis''$f_1, f_2,\ldots$of$L$in the sense that$L$is a direct sum of spaces$f_j\cdot H^2[g]$where$H^2[g] = \{f\circ g \mid f\in H^2\}$. The basis elements$f_j$satisfy the additional property that$\int_T |f_j|^2 g^k=0$,$k=1,2,\ldots\,.$We call such functions$g$-$2$-inner. It also follows that any$f\in H^2$can be factored$f=h_{f,2}\cdot (F_2\circ g)$where$h_{f,2}$is$g$-$2$-inner and$F$is outer, generalizing the classical Riesz factorization. Using$L^p$estimates for the canonical decomposition of$H^2$, we find a factorization$f=h_{f,p} \cdot (F_p \circ g)$for$f\in H^p$. If$p\geq 1$and$g$is a finite Blaschke product we obtain, for any$g$-invariant$L\subseteq H^p$, a finite$g$-basis of$g$-$p\$-inner functions. Categories:30H05, 46E15, 47B38
