Abstract: This doctoral dissertation addresses the integration of functions taking values in spaces of bounded operators and in spaces of complex measures on a given σ-algebra. The mentioned integrability is considered in a more general sense than that required in the theory of weak integration of vector-valued functions. The first part of the dissertation deals with the integrability of families of operators. If (Ω, M, μ) is a space with a positive measure μ and (At)t∈Ω is a family of operators from B(X, Y ), where X and Y are Banach spaces, then μ-integrability of the function Ω ∋ t 7 → ⟨Atx, y∗⟩ ∈ C is required for every x ∈ X and y∗ ∈ Y ∗. In this case, we prove that the quantity sup∥x∥=∥y∗∥=1 R Ω ⟨Atx, y∗⟩ dμ(t) is finite. This expres- sion allows us to define a norm on the corresponding vector space of families of operators. Furthermore, for every E ∈ M, one obtains an operator R E At dμ(t) in B(X, Y ∗∗), whose defining property is ⟨y∗, R E At dμ(t) x⟩ = R E ⟨Atx, y∗⟩ dμ(t) for every x ∈ X and y∗ ∈ Y ∗. The second part of the dissertation deals with the integrability of families of measures. If (λx)x∈X is a family of complex measures on (Y, A), where (X, B, μ) is a space with a positive measure μ, and if for every A ∈ A the function X ∋ x 7 → λx(A) ∈ C is μ-integrable, then the quantity supA∈A R X |λx(A)| dμ(x) is finite. This allows us to define a norm on the corresponding vector space of families of measures. In this case, for every B ∈ B there exists a complex measure R B λx dμ(x) on A such that R B λx dμ(x) (A) = R B λx(A) dμ(x) for every A ∈ A. The dis- sertation is organized as follows. The first part (Chapters 2–4) deals with the integration of functions taking values in B(X, Y ). Chapter 2 provides a survey of the known results on the integration of functions in B(H), where H is a separable Hilbert space, and presents original results extending the existing theory. In Chapter 3, the developed theory is applied to the Laplace transform of B(H)-valued functions, which has been previously considered in the literature. Chapter 4 is significant because it generalizes the integrability of functions taking values in B(X, Y ). This type of integration was first defined in [8]. The second part of the dissertation (Chapter 5) deals with the integration of functions taking values in spaces of complex measures on a given σ-algebra. The introduced type of integration is more general than Pettis concept and has been considered in [6, 7]. These works represent a natural ex- tension and application of the experiences gained from working with functions taking values in operator spaces, including original results of the candidate with coauthors. Numerous concrete examples are included, making this abstract material much more illustrative. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/5779 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The subject of this dissertation is the study of the belonging of weak operator in- tegrals in appropriate ideals of compact operators, as well as the investigation of perturbation inequalities. These questions were previously considered in [16], where Cauchy–Schwarz type inequalities were established. In addition to providing norm estimates, these inequalities also yield sufficient conditions for an operator integral to belong to a given ideal. In the first part of the dissertation, using these inequalities, perturbation norm inequalities are derived for elementary operators generated by analytic functions. Specially, for an analytic function f, trigonometric polynomials T, S : R → C and t ∈ R, if fT S,t, f¯T T,t and f¯SS,t are the associated analytic functions, and if X ∈ B(H) and the operator P∞ n=1(AnXBn − CnXDn) belongs to a symmetric norming (s.n.) ideal CΦ(H), for some s.n. function Φ, then the following inequality holds ∞X n=1 (A∗ nAn− C∗ nCn) 1 2 fT S,t ∞X n=1 An⊗Bn X − fT S,t ∞X n=1 Cn⊗Dn X ∞X n=1 (BnB∗ n − DnD∗ n) 1 2 Φ ⩽ f¯T T,t ∞X n=1 A∗ nAn − f¯T T,t ∞X n=1 C∗ nCn 1 2 ∞X n=1 (AnXBn − CnXDn) × f¯SS,t ∞X n=1 BnB∗ n − f¯SS,t ∞X n=1 DnD∗ n 1 2 Φ , under certain conditions on the families (An)∞ n=1, (Bn)∞ n=1, (Cn)∞ n=1 and (Dn)∞ n=1 in B(H). Next, the dissertation considers vector measures induced by weak∗ integrable operator- valued functions taking values in Shatten–von Neumann ideals. Furthermore, the criteria for the compactness and nuclearity of the Gel’fand integral are derived, with emphasis on positive operator-valued functions. Finally, depending on the properties of the symmetric norming function Φ, the conse- quences of the condition sup e,f ∈B Z Ω Φ((⟨Aten, fn⟩)∞ n=1)dμ(t) < +∞. are explored. More precisely, it is proved that the weak∗ integral belongs to the symmetric ideal CΦ(H), as well as the Gelfand and Pettis integrability of the CΦ(H)-valued function A .

Abstract: The subject of the dissertation is the investigation of the relation of strong BJ orthogonality in C∗-algebras. For two elements a and b of C∗-algebra A, we say that a is strong BJ orthogonal to b, if for all c ∈ A holds ‖a + bc‖ ⩾ ‖a‖ and we write a ⊥S b. If it is also true that b ⊥S a, then we say that a and b are mutual strong BJ orthogonal and write a ⊥⊥S b. To this relation, we associate an undirected graph Γ(A) (which we call an orthograf), where the vertices are the nonzero elements of the C∗-algebra A, with the identification of an element and its scalar multiple; while there is an edge between two vertices a and b if a ⊥⊥S b. We will show that for any C∗-algebra A, different from three simple C∗-algebras, and for any two non-isolated vertices a and b in the orthograph, we can find vertices c1, c2, c3 ∈ Γ(A) such that a ⊥⊥S c1 ⊥⊥S c2 ⊥⊥S c3 ⊥⊥S b. We will also describe the isolated vertices of the graph Γ(A) for any C∗-algebra A. Finally, in the case of finite-dimensional C -algebras, we will determine the diameter of Γ(A), i.e., the minimum number of elements required to connect any two vertices.

Abstract: The analysis of Grassmann manifolds, which were first introduced in the 19th century, is one of the classical problems in the algebraic topology. When analyzing topological spaces, it is always useful to determine their cohomology algebra. The cohomology of Grassmann manifolds is already well known, but their covering spaces, so called oriented Grassmann manifolds, are far less examined. The oriented Grassmann manifold ˜Gn,k is defined to be the space of oriented k-dimensional subspaces of Rn. In this dissertation we analyze the cohomology algebra of oriented Grassmann manifolds ˜Gn,k with integer and modulo 2 coe!cients, predominantly the case k = 3. The dissertation comprises three chapters. The first chapter is an introduction where an overview of known results and necessary tools is given. In the second chapter we study the cohomology with the modulo 2 coe!cients. First of all, the known results in the case k = 2 are presented. Next, we move onto the case k = 3 where the partial description of the cohomology algebra is given. This section is based on papers published in the last several years. We give an overview of these results in the thesis, and we also present original results for n close to a power of two. In the last part of this chapter, we investigate the cohomology algebra of the manifold ˜G2t,4, and that is as far as we have come with the examination of modulo 2 cohomology. The third chapter is dedicated to the integral cohomology. This chapter, like the previous one, also splits in several sections, depending on the value of k. When k = 2, the integral cohomology is completely determined, and we present the proof for n odd. When k = 3, only the integral cohomology of ˜Gn,3, n → {6, 8, 10}, has been determined so far, while for k ↭ 4 only some partial results are known. In this segment we also analyze the connection between the integer and the modulo 2 cohomology algebra of these Grassmannians by analyzing the morphism between them induced by the modulo 2 reduction.

Abstract: n this dissertation, we start from the curvature tensor of the pseudo- Riemannian manifold or the algebraic curvature tensor on a vector space with a (possibly indefinite) scalar product. The duality, proportionality and orthogonal- ity principles of Osserman tensors are studied as they are properties of curvature tensors that are characteristic of Riemannian Osserman manifolds. The estab- lished principles are generalized to the pseudo-Riemannian case and are observed in two directions. On the one hand, we are interested whether these principles follow from Osserman’s conditions, and on the other, to what extent Osserman’s conditions are a consequence of established principles. Quasi-Clifford tensors are introduced as a generalization of Clifford tensors, and then some sufficient condi- tions are given under which the totally duality principle holds for quasi-Clifford tensors, and an example of a pseudo-Riemannian Osserman tensor is presented for which the duality principle does not hold. The theorem on the existence of the algebraic curvature tensor for the given Jacobi operators is proved, which is used to prove the results on the principle of proportionality. The principle of orthogonality is devised as a new potential characterization of Riemannian Osser- man tensors. Every Riemannian Jacobi-orthogonal tensor is an Osserman tensor, while Clifford and two-root Riemannian Oserman tensors are Jacobi-orthogonal. Generalizations of the orthogonality principle in the pseudo-Riemannian case are presented, especially in the cases of small dimensions 3 and 4.
