We prove that every surjective unital linear mapping which preserves invertible elements from a Banach algebra onto a C*-algebra carrying a faithful tracial state is a Jordan homomorphism thus generalising Aupetit's 1998 result for finite von Neumann algebras.

Given a finite collection ${X_i}_{iin I}$ of metric spaces, each of which has finite Nagata dimension and Lipschitz free space isomorphic to $L^1$, we prove that their union has Lipschitz free space isomorphic to $L^1$. The short proof we provide is based on the Pelczy'nski decomposition method. A corollary is a solution to a question of Kaufmann about the union of two planar curves with tangential intersection. A second focus of the paper is on a special case of this result that can be studied using geometric methods. That is, we prove that the Lipschitz free space of a union of finitely many quasiconformal trees is isomorphic to $L^1$. These geometric methods also reveal that any metric quotient of a quasiconformal tree has Lipschitz free space isomorphic to $L^1$. Finally, we analyze Lipschitz light maps on unions and metric quotients of quasiconformal trees in order to prove that the Lipschitz dimension of any such union or quotient is equal to 1.

A nonnegative real function $f$ is said to be bell-shaped if it converges to zero at $pminfty$ and the $n$th derivative of $f$ changes sign $n$ times for every $n = 0, 1, 2, ldots$ In a similar way, we may say that a nonnegative sequence $a_k$ is bell-shaped if it converges to zero and the $n$th iterated difference of $a_k$ changes sign $n$ times for every $n = 0, 1, 2, ldots$ Bell-shaped functions were recently characterised by Thomas Simon and the first author. In the present paper we provide an analogous description of bell-shaped sequences. More precisely, we identify bell-shaped sequences with convolutions of P'olya frequency sequences and completely monotone sequences, and we characterise the corresponding generating functions as exponentials of appropriate Pick functions.

In this work we study $S$-adic shifts generated by sequences of morphisms that are constant-length. We call a sequence of constant-length morphisms torsion-free if any prime divisor of one of the lengths is a divisor of infinitely many of the lengths. We show that torsion-free directive sequences generate shifts that enjoy the property of quasi-recognizability which can be used as a substitute for recognizability. Indeed quasi-recognizable directive sequences can be replaced by a recognizable directive sequence. With this, we give a finer description of the spectrum of shifts generated by torsion-free sequences defined on a sequence of alphabets of bounded size, in terms of extensions of the notions of height and column number. We illustrate our results throughout with examples that explain the subtleties that can arise.

This paper is devoted to theoretical aspects on optimality of sparse approximation. We undertake a quantitative study of new types of greedy-like bases that have recently arisen in the context of nonlinear $m$-term approximation in Banach spaces as a generalization of the properties that characterize almost greedy bases, i.e., quasi-greediness and democracy. As a means to compare the efficiency of these new bases with already existing ones in regards to the implementation of the Thresholding Greedy Algorithm, we place emphasis on obtaining estimates for their sequence of unconditionality parameters. Using an enhanced version of the original method from [S. J. Dilworth, N. J. Kalton, and D. Kutzarova, On the existence of almost greedy bases in Banach spaces, Studia Math. 159 (2003), no. 1, 67-101] for building almost greedy bases, we manage to construct bidemocratic bases whose unconditionality parameters satisfy significantly worse estimates than almost greedy bases even in Hilbert spaces.
