Spectral theorem for unital $C^{*}$-algebras

To see that (1) continues to hold when B is replaced by A, it suffices (by linearity and density of step functions) to consider only the case when g is the characteristic function of some measurable s …

Is the Pierce spectrum useful elsewhere in Mathematics?

For Boolean rings, the Pierce spectrum coincides with the Zariski spectrum and is one of the functors implementing the Stone duality between Boolean algebras and compact totally disconnected Hausdorff …

How to compute cup product of derived limits / presheaf cohomology

Cup products in sheaf (and presheaf) cohomology are often easy to compute by resolving the source (in the projective model structure, say), not the target. For an example of resolving the source in th …

Categorical Kähler differentials and the Leibniz rule

1. The Leibniz rule follows immediately from the last description of derivations as morphisms of commutative rings X:R→u(M). Indeed, u(M) is the square-zero extension of some R-module M' (in the trad …

Can elements of Weil algebras be detected by maps into truncated symmetric algebras?

Recall that a Weil algebra is a finite-dimensional real unital algebra that admits exactly one homomorphism to R. Such algebras form the basis of the Weil approach to differential geometry, pioneered …

Is there a relation between Gelfand duality and the spectrum of a ring (with its Zariski top...

Yes, both Theorem A and Theorem B are special cases of a more general construction. Denote by $R$ the category of commutative unital C*-algebras or the category of commutative rings. Denote by $R'$ th …
