Motivated by a problem of Halmos, we obtain a canonical decomposition for complex matrices which are unitarily equivalent to their transpose (UET). Surprisingly, the naive assertion that a matrix is UET if and only if it is unitarily…

Let $\{A_{i,n}\}$ be a triangular array of elements in a Banach algebra, whose norms do not grow too fast, and whose row averages converge to $A$. Let $\sigma \in S(n)$ be a permutation drawn uniformly at random. If the array only contains…

Let $A=U|A|$ and $B=V|B|$ be the polar decompositions of $A\in \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H}_1)$ and $B\in \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H}_2)$ and let $Com(A,B)$ stand for the set of operators $X\in\mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H}_2,\mathscr{H}_1)$ such that…

In this paper, we compute the iterated Aluthge transforms $\widetilde{C_\phi}^{(n)}$ of the composition operator $C_\phi$ on the weighted Bergman spaces $\mathcal{A}_\alpha^2(\mathbb{D})$, where $\phi(z)=az+(1-a)$ for $0<a<1$. Also, we…

We show that the rotation algebras are limit of matrix algebras in a very strong sense of convergence for algebras with additional Lipschitz structure. Our results generalize to higher dimensional noncommutative tori and operator valued…

Motivated by an influential result of Bourgain and Tzafriri, we consider continuous matrix functions $A:\mathbb{R}\to M_{n\times n}$ and lower $\ell_2$-norm bounds associated with their restriction to certain subspaces. We prove that for…

Let $\mathbf{T}=(T_1,\ldots,T_d)$ be a $d$-tuple of operators on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. The spherical Aluthge transform of $\mathbf{T}$ is the $d$-tuple given by…

We study a class of representations of the Cuntz algebras O_N, N=2,3,..., acting on L^2(T) where T=R/2\pi Z. The representations arise in wavelet theory, but are of independent interest. We find and describe the decomposition into…

Let $T$ be an adjointable operator between two Hilbert $C^*$-modules and $T^*$ be the adjoint operator of $T$. The polar decomposition of $T$ is characterized as $T=U(T^*T)^\frac12$ and $\mathcal{R}(U^*)=\overline{\mathcal{R}(T^*)}$, where…

In 2005 J.L. Waldspurger proved the following theorem: given a finite real reflection group $W$, the closed positive root cone is tiled by the images of the open weight cone under the action of the linear transformations $id-w$. Shortly…

On a compact oriented surface of genus $g$ with $n\geq 1$ boundary components, $\delta_1, \delta_2,\ldots, \delta_n$, we consider positive factorizations of the boundary multitwist $t_{\delta_1} t_{\delta_2} \cdots t_{\delta_n}$, where…

Let $T$ be a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, and let $T \equiv V|T|$ be the polar decomposition of $T$. The mean transform of $T$ is defined by $\widehat{T}:=\frac{1}{2}(V|T|+|T|V)$. In this paper we study the…

We extend some of the results of Agler, Knese, and McCarthy [1] to $n$-tuples of commuting isometries for $n>2$. Let $\mathbb{V}=(V_1,\dots,V_n)$ be an $n$-tuple of a commuting isometries on a Hilbert space and let Ann$(\mathbb{V})$ denote…

The approximate discrete Radon transform (ADRT) is a hierarchical multiscale approximation of the Radon transform. In this paper, we factor the ADRT into a product of linear transforms that resemble convolutions and derive an explicit…

A contractive $n$-tuple $A=(A_1,...,A_n)$ has a minimal joint isometric dilation $S=(S_1,...,S_n)$ where the $S_i$'s are isometries with pairwise orthogonal ranges. This determines a representation of the Cuntz-Toeplitz algebra. When $A$…

We introduce two natural notions of multivariable Aluthge transforms (toral and spherical), and study their basic properties. In the case of 2-variable weighted shifts, we first prove that the toral Aluthge transform does not preserve…

The zeta and Moebius transforms over the subset lattice of $n$ elements and the so-called subset convolution are examples of unary and binary operations on set functions. While their direct computation requires $O(3^n)$ arithmetic…

We consider an $n$ by $n$ matrix of the form $A=UTV$, with $U, V$ some independent Haar-distributed unitary matrices and $T$ a deterministic matrix. We prove that for $k\sim n^{1/6}$ and $b^2:=\frac{1}{n}\operatorname{Tr}(|T|^2)$, as $n$…

Let $T$ be the map defined on $\N=\{1,2,3, ...\}$ by $T(n) = \frac{n}{2} $ if $n$ is even and by $T(n) = \frac{3n+1}{2}$ if $n$ is odd. Consider the dynamical system $(\N, 2^{\N}, T,\mu)$ where $\mu$ is the counting measure. This dynamical…

A class of transformations of $R_q$-matrices is introduced such that the $q\to 1$ limit gives explicit nonstandard $R_{h}$-matrices. The transformation matrix is singular itself at $q\to 1$ limit. For the transformed matrix, the…
