Given a unital inductive limit of C*-algebras for which each C*-algebra of the inductive sequence comes equipped with a Rieffel compact quantum metric, we produce sufficient conditions to build a compact quantum metric on the inductive limit from the quantum metrics on the inductive sequence by utilizing the completeness of the dual Gromov–Hausdorff propinquity of Latrémolière on compact quantum metric spaces. This allows us to place new quantum metrics on all unital approximately finite-dimensional (AF) algebras that extend our previous work with Latrémolière on unital AF algebras with faithful tracial state. As a consequence, we produce a continuous image of the entire Fell topology on the ideal space of any unital AF algebra in the dual Gromov–Hausdorff propinquity topology.

Let $r,n>1$ be integers and $q$ be any prime power $q$ such that $r\mid q^{n}-1$. We say that the extension $\mathbb{F}_{q^{n}}/\mathbb{F}_{q}$ possesses the line property for $r$-primitive elements property if, for every $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC},\unicode[STIX]{x1D703}\in \mathbb{F}_{q^{n}}^{\ast }$ such that $\mathbb{F}_{q^{n}}=\mathbb{F}_{q}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D703})$, there exists some $x\in \mathbb{F}_{q}$ such that $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D703}+x)$ has multiplicative order $(q^{n}-1)/r$. We prove that, for sufficiently large prime powers $q$, $\mathbb{F}_{q^{n}}/\mathbb{F}_{q}$ possesses the line property for $r$-primitive elements. We also discuss the (weaker) translate property for extensions.

Let $M$ be a nondoubling parabolic manifold with ends. First, this paper investigates the boundedness of the maximal function associated with the heat semigroup ${\mathcal{M}}_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}}f(x):=\sup _{t>0}|e^{-t\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}}f(x)|$ where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}$ is the Laplace–Beltrami operator acting on $M$. Then, by combining the subordination formula with the previous result, we obtain the weak type $(1,1)$ and $L^{p}$ boundedness of the maximal function ${\mathcal{M}}_{\sqrt{L}}^{k}f(x):=\sup _{t>0}|(t\sqrt{L})^{k}e^{-t\sqrt{L}}f(x)|$ on $L^{p}(M)$ for $1<p\leq \infty$ where $k$ is a nonnegative integer and $L$ is a nonnegative self-adjoint operator satisfying a suitable heat kernel upper bound. An interesting thing about the results is the lack of both doubling condition of $M$ and the smoothness of the operators’ kernels.

Given an infinite, compact, monothetic group $G$ we study decompositions and structure of unbounded derivations in a crossed product $\text{C}^{\ast }$-algebra $C(G)\rtimes \mathbb{Z}$ obtained from a translation on $G$ by a generator of a dense cyclic subgroup. We also study derivations in a Toeplitz extension of the crossed product and the question whether unbounded derivations can be lifted from one algebra to the other.

Vertex-primitive self-complementary graphs were proved to be affine or in product action by Guralnick et al. [‘On orbital partitions and exceptionality of primitive permutation groups’, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.356 (2004), 4857–4872]. The product action type is known in some sense. In this paper, we provide a generic construction for the affine case and several families of new self-complementary Cayley graphs are constructed.

Li et al. [‘Weak 2-local isometries on uniform algebras and Lipschitz algebras’, Publ. Mat.63 (2019), 241–264] generalized the Kowalski–Słodkowski theorem by establishing the following spherical variant: let A be a unital complex Banach algebra and let $\Delta : A \to \mathbb {C}$ be a mapping satisfying the following properties:

1. (a) $\Delta $ is 1-homogeneous (that is, $\Delta (\lambda x)=\lambda \Delta (x)$ for all $x \in A$ , $\lambda \in \mathbb C$ );

2. (b) $\Delta (x)-\Delta (y) \in \mathbb {T}\sigma (x-y), \quad x,y \in A$ .

$\lambda _{0} \in \mathbb {T}$

Let $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. For $i=1,2$, let $K_{i}$ be a locally compact (Hausdorff) topological space and let ${\mathcal{H}}_{i}$ be a closed subspace of ${\mathcal{C}}_{0}(K_{i},\mathbb{F})$ such that each point of the Choquet boundary $\operatorname{Ch}_{{\mathcal{H}}_{i}}K_{i}$ of ${\mathcal{H}}_{i}$ is a weak peak point. We show that if there exists an isomorphism $T:{\mathcal{H}}_{1}\rightarrow {\mathcal{H}}_{2}$ with $\left\Vert T\right\Vert \cdot \left\Vert T^{-1}\right\Vert <2$, then $\operatorname{Ch}_{{\mathcal{H}}_{1}}K_{1}$ is homeomorphic to $\operatorname{Ch}_{{\mathcal{H}}_{2}}K_{2}$. We then provide a one-sided version of this result. Finally we prove that under the assumption on weak peak points the Choquet boundaries have the same cardinality provided ${\mathcal{H}}_{1}$ is isomorphic to ${\mathcal{H}}_{2}$.
