 Injectivity of the connecting homomorphisms in inductive limits of Elliott-Thomsen algebras Let $A$ be the inductive limit of a sequence $$A_1\,\xrightarrow{\phi_{1,2}}\,A_2\,\xrightarrow{\phi_{2,3}}\,A_3\rightarrow\cdots$$ with $A_n=\bigoplus_{i=1}^{n_i}A_{[n,i]}$, where all the $A_{[n,i]}$ are Elliott-Thomsen algebras and $\phi_{n,n+1}$ are homomorphisms. In this paper, we will prove that $A$ can be written as another inductive limit $$B_1\,\xrightarrow{\psi_{1,2}}\,B_2\,\xrightarrow{\psi_{2,3}}\,B_3\rightarrow\cdots$$ with $B_n=\bigoplus_{i=1}^{n_i'}B_{[n,i]'}$, where all the $B_{[n,i]'}$ are Elliott-Thomsen algebras and with the extra condition that all the $\psi_{n,n+1}$ are injective.

 Spectral flow argument localizing an odd index pairing An odd Fredholm module for a given invertible operator on a Hilbert space is specified by an unbounded so-called Dirac operator with compact resolvent and bounded commutator with the given invertible. Associated to this is an index pairing in terms of a Fredholm operator with Noether index. Here it is shown by a spectral flow argument how this index can be calculated as the signature of a finite dimensional matrix called the spectral localizer.

 PoincarÃ© Inequalities and Neumann Problems for the $p$-Laplacian We prove an equivalence between weighted PoincarÃ© inequalities and the existence of weak solutions to a Neumann problem related to a degenerate $p$-Laplacian. The PoincarÃ© inequalities are formulated in the context of degenerate Sobolev spaces defined in terms of a quadratic form, and the associated matrix is the source of the degeneracy in the $p$-Laplacian.

 Tannakian duality for affine homogeneous spaces Associated to any closed quantum subgroup $G\subset U_N^+$ and any index set $I\subset\{1,\dots,N\}$ is a certain homogeneous space $X_{G,I}\subset S^{N-1}_{\mathbb C,+}$, called affine homogeneous space. We discuss here the abstract axiomatization of the algebraic manifolds $X\subset S^{N-1}_{\mathbb C,+}$ which can appear in this way, by using Tannakian duality methods.

 Quantum Symmetries of Graph $C^*$-algebras The study of graph $C^*$-algebras has a long history in operator algebras. Surprisingly, their quantum symmetries have never been computed so far. We close this gap by proving that the quantum automorphism group of a finite, directed graph without multiple edges acts maximally on the corresponding graph $C^*$-algebra. This shows that the quantum symmetry of a graph coincides with the quantum symmetry of the graph $C^*$-algebra. In our result, we use the definition of quantum automorphism groups of graphs as given by Banica in 2005. Note that Bichon gave a different definition in 2003; our action is inspired from his work. We review and compare these two definitions and we give a complete table of quantum automorphism groups (with respect to either of the two definitions) for undirected graphs on four vertices.

 A Note on Uniformly Bounded Cocycles into Finite von Neumann Algebras We give a short proof of a result of T. Bates and T. Giordano stating that any uniformly bounded Borel cocycle into a finite von Neumann algebra is cohomologous to a unitary cocycle. We also point out a separability issue in their proof. Our approach is based on the existence of a non-positive curvature metric on the positive cone of a finite von Neumann algebra.

 Remarks on Inner Functions and Optimal Approximants We discuss the concept of inner function in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces with an orthogonal basis of monomials and examine connections between inner functions and optimal polynomial approximants to $1/f$, where $f$ is a function in the space. We revisit some classical examples from this perspective, and show how a construction of Shapiro and Shields can be modified to produce inner functions.

 Strongly extreme points and approximation properties We show that if $x$ is a strongly extreme point of a bounded closed convex subset of a Banach space and the identity has a geometrically and topologically good enough local approximation at $x$, then $x$ is already a denting point. It turns out that such an approximation of the identity exists at any strongly extreme point of the unit ball of a Banach space with the unconditional compact approximation property. We also prove that every Banach space with a Schauder basis can be equivalently renormed to satisfy the sufficient conditions mentioned.

 Character Amenability of the Intersection of Lipschitz Algebras Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space and $J\subseteq [0,\infty)$ be nonempty. We study the structure of the arbitrary intersections of Lipschitz algebras, and define a special Banach subalgebra of $\bigcap_{\gamma\in J}\operatorname{Lip}_\gamma X$, denoted by $\operatorname{ILip}_J X$. Mainly, we investigate $C$-character amenability of $\operatorname{ILip}_J X$, in particular Lipschitz algebras. We address a gap in the proof of a recent result in this field. Then we remove this gap, and obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for $C$-character amenability of $\operatorname{ILip}_J X$, specially Lipschitz algebras, under an additional assumption.

 Invariant Means on a Class of von Neumann Algebras Related to Ultraspherical Hypergroups II Let $K$ be an ultraspherical hypergroup associated to a locally compact group $G$ and a spherical projector $\pi$ and let $VN(K)$ denote the dual of the Fourier algebra $A(K)$ corresponding to $K.$ In this note, we show that the set of invariant means on $VN(K)$ is singleton if and only if $K$ is discrete. Here $K$ need not be second countable. We also study invariant means on the dual of the Fourier algebra $A_0(K),$ the closure of $A(K)$ in the $cb$-multiplier norm. Finally, we consider generalized translations and generalized invariant means.

 Remarks on Hopf Images and Quantum Permutation Groups $S_n^+$ Motivated by a question of A. Skalski and P.M. SoÅtan (2016) about inner faithfulness of the S. Curran's map of extending a quantum increasing sequence to a quantum permutation, we revisit the results and techniques of T. Banica and J. Bichon (2009) and study some group-theoretic properties of the quantum permutation group on $4$ points. This enables us not only to answer the aforementioned question in positive in case $n=4, k=2$, but also to classify the automorphisms of $S_4^+$, describe all the embeddings $O_{-1}(2)\subset S_4^+$ and show that all the copies of $O_{-1}(2)$ inside $S_4^+$ are conjugate. We then use these results to show that the converse to the criterion we applied to answer the aforementioned question is not valid.

 Character Density in Central Subalgebras of Compact Quantum Groups We investigate quantum group generalizations of various density results from Fourier analysis on compact groups. In particular, we establish the density of characters in the space of fixed points of the conjugation action on $L^2(\mathbb{G})$, and use this result to show the weak* density and norm density of characters in $ZL^\infty(\mathbb{G})$ and $ZC(\mathbb{G})$, respectively. As a corollary, we partially answer an open question of Woronowicz. At the level of $L^1(\mathbb{G})$, we show that the center $\mathcal{Z}(L^1(\mathbb{G}))$ is precisely the closed linear span of the quantum characters for a large class of compact quantum groups, including arbitrary compact Kac algebras. In the latter setting, we show, in addition, that $\mathcal{Z}(L^1(\mathbb{G}))$ is a completely complemented $\mathcal{Z}(L^1(\mathbb{G}))$-submodule of $L^1(\mathbb{G})$.

 Reduction to Dimension Two of Local Spectrum for $AH$ Algebra with Ideal Property A $C^{*}$-algebra $A$ has the ideal property if any ideal $I$ of $A$ is generated as a closed two sided ideal by the projections inside the ideal. Suppose that the limit $C^{*}$-algebra $A$ of inductive limit of direct sums of matrix algebras over spaces with uniformly bounded dimension has ideal property. In this paper we will prove that $A$ can be written as an inductive limit of certain very special subhomogeneous algebras, namely, direct sum of dimension drop interval algebras and matrix algebras over 2-dimensional spaces with torsion $H^{2}$ groups.

 $\mathcal{Q}_p$ Spaces and Dirichlet Type Spaces In this paper, we show that the MÃ¶bius invariant function space $\mathcal {Q}_p$ can be generated by variant Dirichlet type spaces $\mathcal{D}_{\mu, p}$ induced by finite positive Borel measures $\mu$ on the open unit disk. A criterion for the equality between the space $\mathcal{D}_{\mu, p}$ and the usual Dirichlet type space $\mathcal {D}_p$ is given. We obtain a sufficient condition to construct different $\mathcal{D}_{\mu, p}$ spaces and we provide examples. We establish decomposition theorems for $\mathcal{D}_{\mu, p}$ spaces, and prove that the non-Hilbert space $\mathcal {Q}_p$ is equal to the intersection of Hilbert spaces $\mathcal{D}_{\mu, p}$. As an application of the relation between $\mathcal {Q}_p$ and $\mathcal{D}_{\mu, p}$ spaces, we also obtain that there exist different $\mathcal{D}_{\mu, p}$ spaces; this is a trick to prove the existence without constructing examples.

 Characterizations of Operator Birkhoff--James Orthogonality In this paper, we obtain some characterizations of the (strong) Birkhoff--James orthogonality for elements of Hilbert $C^*$-modules and certain elements of $\mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H})$. Moreover, we obtain a kind of Pythagorean relation for bounded linear operators. In addition, for $T\in \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H})$ we prove that if the norm attaining set $\mathbb{M}_T$ is a unit sphere of some finite dimensional subspace $\mathscr{H}_0$ of $\mathscr{H}$ and $\|T\|_{{{\mathscr{H}}_0}^\perp} \lt \|T\|$, then for every $S\in\mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H})$, $T$ is the strong Birkhoff--James orthogonal to $S$ if and only if there exists a unit vector $\xi\in {\mathscr{H}}_0$ such that $\|T\|\xi = |T|\xi$ and $S^*T\xi = 0$. Finally, we introduce a new type of approximate orthogonality and investigate this notion in the setting of inner product $C^*$-modules.

 Characterizations of Besov-Type and Triebel-Lizorkin-Type Spaces via Averages on Balls Let $\ell\in\mathbb N$ and $\alpha\in (0,2\ell)$. In this article, the authors establish equivalent characterizations of Besov-type spaces, Triebel-Lizorkin-type spaces and Besov-Morrey spaces via the sequence $\{f-B_{\ell,2^{-k}}f\}_{k}$ consisting of the difference between $f$ and the ball average $B_{\ell,2^{-k}}f$. These results give a way to introduce Besov-type spaces, Triebel-Lizorkin-type spaces and Besov-Morrey spaces with any smoothness order on metric measure spaces. As special cases, the authors obtain a new characterization of Morrey-Sobolev spaces and $Q_\alpha$ spaces with $\alpha\in(0,1)$, which are of independent interest.

 Isometry on Linear $n$-G-quasi Normed Spaces This paper generalizes the Aleksandrov problem: the Mazur-Ulam theorem on $n$-G-quasi normed spaces. It proves that a one-$n$-distance preserving mapping is an $n$-isometry if and only if it has the zero-$n$-G-quasi preserving property, and two kinds of $n$-isometries on $n$-G-quasi normed space are equivalent; we generalize the Benz theorem to n-normed spaces with no restrictions on the dimension of spaces.

 A Homological Property and Arens Regularity of Locally Compact Quantum Groups We characterize two important notions of amenability and compactness of a locally compact quantum group ${\mathbb G}$ in terms of certain homological properties. For this, we show that ${\mathbb G}$ is character amenable if and only if it is both amenable and co-amenable. We finally apply our results to Arens regularity problems of the quantum group algebra $L^1({\mathbb G})$; in particular, we improve an interesting result by Hu, Neufang and Ruan.

 On Ulam Stability of a Functional Equation in Banach Modules Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces and $f : X \to Y$ an odd mapping. For any rational number $r \ne 2$, C. Baak, D. H. Boo, and Th. M. Rassias have proved the Hyers-Ulam stability of the following functional equation: \begin{align*} r f \left(\frac{\sum_{j=1}^d x_j}{r} \right) & + \sum_{\substack{i(j) \in \{0,1\} \\ \sum_{j=1}^d i(j)=\ell}} r f \left( \frac{\sum_{j=1}^d (-1)^{i(j)}x_j}{r} \right) = (C^\ell_{d-1} - C^{\ell -1}_{d-1} + 1) \sum_{j=1}^d f(x_j) \end{align*} where $d$ and $\ell$ are positive integers so that $1 \lt \ell \lt \frac{d}{2}$, and $C^p_q := \frac{q!}{(q-p)!p!}$, $p, q \in \mathbb{N}$ with $p \le q$. In this note we solve this equation for arbitrary nonzero scalar $r$ and show that it is actually Hyers-Ulam stable. We thus extend and generalize Baak et al.'s result. Different questions concerning the *-homomorphisms and the multipliers between C*-algebras are also considered. Keywords:linear functional equation, Hyers-Ulam stability, Banach modules, C*-algebra homomorphisms.Categories:39A30, 39B10, 39A06, 46Hxx
