Fall 2021
French feminist scholars, poets, and philosophers Hélène Cixous and Julia Kristeva proclaimed the absolute necessity of a revolution in poetic language, both in the realm of the signifier and the signified. Even though they used different terms, they both described a peculiarly feminine writing...

Amenability and fixed point properties of semi-topological semigroups of non-expansive mappings in Banach spaces
DownloadFall 2016
In this thesis we are interested in fixed point properties of representations of semi-topological semigroups of non-expansive mappings on weak and weak* compact convex sets in Banach or dual spaces. More particularly, we study the following problems : Problem 1 : Let F be any commuting family of...

A discrete flow (S,X) is a semigroup S acting on a set X where both S, and X are equipped with the discrete topology. Amenability of semigroups is a topic that explores the existence of measures that are invariant under the semigroup multiplication. The goal of this thesis is to generalize these...

In this thesis, we prove the non-amenability of the Banach algebra B(E), the banach algebra of all operators on an infinite dimensional Banach space E, where, for p in the interval [1,infinity), E is an infinite dimensional Lp-space in the sense of Lindenstrauss and Pelczynski. In addition, we...
