Let X and X be compact Hausdorff spaces, and X , X be Banach lattices. Let X denote the Banach lattice of all continuous X -valued functions on X equipped with the pointwise ordering and the sup norm. We prove that if there exists a Riesz isomorphism X such that X is non-vanishing on X if and only if X is non-vanishing on X , then X is homeomorphic to X , and X is Riesz isomorphic to X . In this case, X can be written as a weighted composition operator: X , where X is a homeomorphism from X onto X , and X is a Riesz isomorphism from X onto X for every X in X . This generalizes some known results obtained recently.

A time domain blind source separation algorithm of convolutive sound mixtures is studied based on a compact partial inversion formula in closed form. An L1-constrained minimization problem is formulated to find demixing filter coefficients for source separation while capturing scaling invariance and sparseness of solutions. The minimization aims to reduce (lagged) cross correlations of the mixture signals, which are modeled stochastically. The problem is non-convex, however it is put in a nonlinear least squares form where the robust and convergent Levenberg-Marquardt iterative method is applicable to compute local minimizers. Efficiency is achieved in recovering lower dimensional demixing filter solutions than the physical ones. Computations on recorded and synthetic mixtures show satisfactory performance, and are compared with other iterative methods.

Quantum Fourier analysis is a subject that combines an algebraic Fourier transform (pictorial in the case of subfactor theory) with analytic estimates. This provides interesting tools to investigate phenomena such as quantum symmetry. We establish bounds on the quantum Fourier transform F, as a map between suitably defined L^p spaces, leading to an uncertainty principle for relative entropy. We cite several applications of quantum Fourier analysis in subfactor theory, in category theory, and in quantum information. We suggest a topological inequality, and we outline several open problems.

We analyze the torus fixed loci of Mixed Spin P fields moduli, and deduce its localization formulas with explicit factors. An algorithm toward evaluating quintic's Gromov-Witten and Fan-Jarvis-Ruan-Witten invariants is derived.

A counterpart of the modular double for quantum superalgebra Uq(osp(1\2)) is constructed by means of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. We also construct the R-matrix operator acting in the corresponding representations, which is expressed via quantum dilogarithm.
