As applications of Kadison's Pythageorean and carpenter's theorems, the Schur-Horn theorem, and Thompson's theorem, we obtain an extension of Thompsons theorem to compact operators and use these ideas to give a characterization of diagonals…

Given a self-adjoint operator $T$ on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space we study the problem of characterizing the set $\mathcal D(T)$ of all possible diagonals of $T$. For compact operators $T$, we give a complete…

Horn's problem -- to find the support of the spectrum of eigenvalues of the sum $C=A+B$ of two $n$ by $n$ Hermitian matrices whose eigenvalues are known -- has been solved by Knutson and Tao. Here the probability distribution function (PDF)…

In this paper, we characterize absolute norm-attainability for compact hyponormal operators. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a bounded linear compact hyponormal operator on an infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space to be…

In this paper we study eigenvalues of Laplacian and biharmonic operators on compact domains in complete manifolds. We establish several new inequalities for eigenvalues of Laplacian and biharmonic operators respectively by using Sobolev…

We give an exposition of the Horn inequalities and their triple role characterizing tensor product invariants, eigenvalues of sums of Hermitian matrices, and intersections of Schubert varieties. We follow Belkale's geometric method, but…

We prove that the eigenvalues of a certain highly non-self-adjoint operator that arises in fluid mechanics correspond, up to scaling by a positive constant, to those of a self-adjoint operator with compact resolvent; hence there are…

The main purpose of this paper is, in the general setting of the adjointable operators on Hilbert $C^*$-modules, to develop two new tools that can be applied to deal with the positive solutions of certain operator equations, the operator…

We introduce the notion of eigenstate of an operator in an abstract C*-algebra, and prove several properties. Most significantly, if the operator is self-adjoint, then every element of its spectrum has a corresponding eigenstate.

For $n\in\{2,3\}$ we prove minimax characterisations of eigenvalues in the gap of the $n$ dimensional Dirac operator with an potential, which may have a Coulomb singularity with a coupling constant up to the critical value $1/(4-n)$. This…

We characterize diagonals of unbounded self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space H that have only discrete spectrum, i.e., with empty essential spectrum. Our result extends the Schur-Horn theorem from a finite dimensional setting to an…

This paper deals with eigenvalues and eigenvectors of bicomplex linear operators defined on bicomplex space. We investigate the properties of these operators in the context of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, along with some relevant theorems.…

In this article, we present a new subadditivity behavior of convex and concave functions, when applied to Hilbert space operators. For example, under suitable assumptions on the spectrum of the positive operators $A$ and $B$, we prove that…

We prove that if A and B are bounded self-adjoint operators such that A-B belongs to the trace class, then |A| -|B| belongs to the principal ideal L_{1,\infty} in the algebra L(H) of all bounded operators on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert…

We study the existence and characterization properties of compact Hermitian operators C on a separable Hilbert space H such that ||C|| is less or equal than || C + D ||, for all D in D(K(H)). This property is equivalent to || C || =…

This paper is concerned with {an extension and reinterpretation} of previous results on the variational characterization of eigenvalues in gaps of the essential spectrum of self-adjoint operators. {We state} two general abstract results on…

Distinguished selfadjoint extensions of Dirac operators are constructed for a class of potentials including Coulombic ones up to the critical case, $-|x|^{-1}$. The method uses Hardy-Dirac inequalities and quadratic form techniques.

Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space of dimension not less than $3$ and let ${\mathcal C}$ be a conjugacy class of compact self-adjoint operators on $H$. Suppose that the dimension of the kernels of operators from ${\mathcal C}$ not less than…

We consider a linear symmetric operator in a Hilbert space that is neither bounded from above nor from below, admits a block decomposition corresponding to an orthogonal splitting of the Hilbert space and has a variational gap property…

For a very general class of unbounded self-adjoint operator function we prove upper bounds for eigenvalues which lie within arbitrary gaps of the essential spectrum. These upper bounds are given by triple variations. Furthermore, we find…
