An important fact about the weak * topology is the Banach – Alaoglu theorem: if X is normed, then the closed unit ball in X * is weak *- compact ( more generally, the polar in X * of a neighborhood of 0 in X is weak *- compact ).

In more abstract language, the spectral theorem is a statement about commutative C *- algebras.

The Devon Rex's coat is unusual because there is little guard hair ( see Cornish Rex and Sphynx for more information on hair-deficient genetics in cats ).

Mark Harrison painted an unpublished spin-off, called Loose Cannons, available online, about the all-female Virago Troop ( Holly, Elan, Nix ( who is killed and replaced with the genetically enhanced Lamia, a creation of Dr. Oonagh Mullarkey ), team psychic Syster Sphynx, and team leader Bodecia " Bo " Kildare ) and provided Warheads several covers for Overkill.

Cat breeds such as the LaPerm, Sphynx, Devon Rex and Cornish Rex, which lack some or all of the normal layers in cats ' fur, are believed by mild allergy sufferers to be significantly less likely to provoke an allergic reaction than other breeds.

* Sphynx or Canadian Hairless Cat

Another hair-deficient breed is the Sphynx cat, which has no hair but may have a very light coat of fuzz.

The Sphynx is a rare breed of cat known for its lack of a coat.

The contemporary breed of Sphynx ( known also as the Canadian Sphynx, distinct from the Russian Sphynx breeds — Peterbald, Don Sphynx ) started in 1966, in Roncesvalles, Toronto when a hairless kitten named Prune was born.

Now the Canadian Sphynx is a breed with a sound genetic pool.

Sphynx cats also appear to have more ear wax than most hairy domestic cats because they have little to no hair in their ears to catch and protect them from a build up of impurities in their ears, like dirt, skin oils ( sebum ), and ear wax which accumulates more frequently in the hairless sphynx breed.

The Sphynx breed also tends to accumulate oils and debris under their nails as well as the skin fold above the nail due to the lack of fur, so, like the ears, the nails and surrounding skin folds need to be cleaned properly as well.

The Canadian Sphynx is recognized by cat fancy associations as being a healthy robust breed.

Although hairless cats have been reported throughout history, breeders in Europe have been working on the Sphynx breed since the early 1960s.

The current American and European Sphynx breed is descended from two lines of natural mutations:

* " All Breed " rings allow cats of every breed approved by the CFA to be judged ... From Sphynx to Persian and everything in between.

It is not related to the better known hairless breed of cat the Sphynx, also known as the Canadian hairless, whose characteristic hairlessness is caused by a recessive gene, whereas the Don hairlessness is caused by a dominant gene.
