    Finite closed coverings of compact quantum spaces

    Full text link
    We show that a projective space P^\infty(Z/2) endowed with the Alexandrov topology is a classifying space for finite closed coverings of compact quantum spaces in the sense that any such a covering is functorially equivalent to a sheaf over this projective space. In technical terms, we prove that the category of finitely supported flabby sheaves of algebras is equivalent to the category of algebras with a finite set of ideals that intersect to zero and generate a distributive lattice. In particular, the Gelfand transform allows us to view finite closed coverings of compact Hausdorff spaces as flabby sheaves of commutative C*-algebras over P^\infty(Z/2).Comment: 26 pages, the Teoplitz quantum projective space removed to another paper. This is the third version which differs from the second one by fine tuning and removal of typo

    Test of charge conjugation invariance in the decay of the eta meson into pi(+)pi(-)pi(0)

    Full text link
    In this work we present the preliminary results of the analysis of the pp->pp eta(->pp pi(+)pi(-)pi(0) reaction aiming to test the charge conjugation symmetry C in strong interactions. Based on approximately 10510^5 identified eta->pi(+)pi(-)pi(0) decay events we have extracted asymmetry parameters sensitive to C symmetry violation for different isospin values of the final state and we have established that all are consistent with zero within the obtained accuracy.Comment: MESON2012 - 12th International Workshop on Meson Production, Properties and Interactio
