Consider the following two foliations of torus: 1)The Kronecker foliation with slope $\sqrt{2}$ 2)The Kronecker foliation with slope $\pi$ As I learn from the literature, these two foliations are …

Edit After the answer by Neil Strickland, I add the word "a ring" in this new version. In the literature, there is a concept of generalized idempotent: an n- idempotent is an element $a$ of a Banach …

A pair of vector bundles over a base space $X$ is a pair $(E,F)$ where $E$ is a vector bundle over $X$ and $F$ is a sub-bundle of $E$. Two pairs $(E_{1},F_{1})$ and $(E_{2}, F_{2})$ are isomorp …

Let $X$ be a compact Hausdorff space.Put $Vec(X)$, the space of all real (or complex) vector bundles over $X$.We put also $Vec_g(X)$, the space of all Riemannian vector bundles over $X$, that is the s …

Consider the trivial bundle $\epsilon_{2}=S^{2}\times \mathbb{C}^{2}$ with the standard Hermitian inner product $<(a,b), (c,d)>=a\bar{c}+b\bar{d}$. Assume that $\ell$ is a sub line bundle of $\eps …

For what type of $C^{*}$ algebras $A$, the group of invertible elements of $C(S^{2}) \otimes A$ is a connected group? All finite dimensional $A$ satisfy this property. Is it true to say t …

The standard equivalent relations on idempotents of a $C^*$ algebra or a Banach algebra are Murray von Neumann, similarity and homotopy equivalent. In this post we consider two other kinds of equivale …

Does there exist a manifold M which all iterated tangent bundles are non parallelizable manifolds? That is$ M, TM , T^2(M), \ldots ,T^n(M)\ldots$ are non parallelizable manifold? What is …

Is there a finite dimensional Banach algebra $A$ for which $K_{0}(A)$ is a finite group? I asked this question in MSE but I received no answer https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1624250 …

Before we state our question, we give a motivational simple example: Put $X$ for disjoint union of two circles. However $X$ is not a connected space but it has an open dense subset $U$ such that $U$ h …

Let us consider the topological $K$-functor on the category of Banach algebras as described in page $18$ of "Introduction to the Baum–Connes conjecture" by Alain Valette. The definition is based on in …

I was interested to know about coalgebraic version of "Idempotents". So I seached the web and I found the following interesting post : https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/689322/co-idempotents-al …

Assume that $R$ is a unital ring or a complex or real (Banach or $C^{*}$) algebra. We define a relation $M$ on $R$ as follows: $$a\;M b \;\;\; \text{iff}\;\; a=xy,\;b=yx \;\; \text{for so …

We identify the vector space tensor product $\mathbb{R}^{m} \otimes \mathbb{R}^{n}$ with $\mathbb{R}^{mn}$ Let $X$ be the space of all non zero simple tensors $X=\{a\otimes b \mid a\in \math …

Assume that we have a vector bundle $E$ over $S^n$. Is there a continuous family of invertible linear maps $T_x:E_x \to E_{-x}$? Here continuity has the obvious meaning as soon …
