Let $U:[0,\infty)^2 \to [0,\infty)$ be a~measurable kernel satisfying: (i) $U(x,y)$ is nonincreasing in $x$ and nondecreasing in $y$; (ii) there exists a~constant $\theta>0$ such that $U(x,z) \le \theta\left( U(x,y)+U(y,z) \right)$ for all…

We study, in a global uniform manner, the quotient of the ring of polynomials in l sets of n variables, by the ideal generated by diagonal quasi-invariant polynomials for general permutation groups W=G(r,n). We show that, for each such…

It is known that the classical Hilbert--Schmidt theorem can be generalized to the case of compact operators in Hilbert $A$-modules $H_A^*$ over a $W^*$-algebra of finite type, i.e. compact operators in $H_A^*$ under slight restrictions can…

Consider a Hilbert space obtained as the completion of the polynomials C[z} in m-variables for which the mnonomials are orthogonal. If the commuting weighted shifts defined by the coordinate functions are essentially normal, then the same…

Let D^n be the closed unit polydisk in C^n. Consider the ring C_r of complex-valued continuous functions on D^n that are real symmetric, that is, f(z)=(f(z^*))^* for all z in D^n. It is shown that C_r is projective free, that is, finitely…

We show that every function in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space with a normalized complete Pick kernel is the quotient of a multiplier and a cyclic multiplier. This extends a theorem of Alpay, Bolotnikov and Kaptano\u{g}lu. We explore…

Let $E$ be a $W^{\ast}$-correspondence over a von Neumann algebra $M$ and let $H^{\infty}(E)$ be the associated Hardy algebra. If $\sigma$ is a faithful normal representation of $M$ on a Hilbert space $H$, then one may form the dual…

Let $\A$ be a finite subdiagonal algebra in Arveson's sense. Let $H^p(\A)$ be the associated noncommutative Hardy spaces, $0<p\le\8$. We extend to the case of all positive indices most recent results about these spaces, which include…

We begin the systematic study of cohomological Hecke operators of modifications of coherent sheaves on a smooth surface $X$, along a fixed proper curve $Z \subset X$. We develop the necessary geometric foundations in order to define the…

We reflect on the notions of positivity and square roots. We review many examples which underline our thesis that square roots of positive maps related to *-algebras are Hilbert modules. As a result of our considerations we discuss…

We study reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces introduced as ranges of generalized Ces\`aro-Hardy operators, in one real variable and in one complex variable. Such spaces can be seen as formed by absolutely continuous functions on the positive…

We give a comprehensive introduction to a general modular frame construction in Hilbert C*-modules and to related modular operators on them. The Hilbert space situation appears as a special case. The reported investigations rely on the idea…

The operator-valued Schur-class is defined to be the set of holomorphic functions $S$ mapping the unit disk into the space of contraction operators between two Hilbert spaces. There are a number of alternate characterizations: the operator…

Given a fat point scheme $\mathbb{W}=m_1P_1+\cdots+m_sP_s$ in the projective $n$-space $\mathbb{P}^n$ over a field $K$ of characteristic zero, the modules of K\"ahler differential $k$-forms of its homogeneous coordinate ring contain useful…

In this paper we deal with a scale of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces $H^{(n)}_2$, $n\ge 0$, which are linear subspaces of the classical Hilbertian Hardy space on the right-hand half-plane $\mathbb{C}^+$. They are obtained as ranges of…

A self-adjoint operator $A$ in a Krein space $\bigl({\mathcal K},[\,\cdot\,,\cdot\,]\bigr)$ is called partially fundamentally reducible if there exist a fundamental decomposition ${\mathcal K} = {\mathcal K}_+ [\dot{+}] {\mathcal K}_-$…

Let the complex reflection group $G(m,p,n)$ act on the unit polydisc $\mathbb D^n$ in $\mathbb C^n.$ A $\boldsymbol\Theta_n$-contraction is a commuting tuple of operators on a Hilbert space having…

Many Hilbert modules over the polynomial ring in m variables are essentially reductive, that is, have commutators which are compact. Arveson has raised the question of whether the closure of homogeneous ideals inherit this property and…

This note finds a new characterization of complete Nevanlinna-Pick kernels on the Euclidean unit ball. The classical theory of Sz.-Nagy and Foias about the characteristic function is extended in this note to a commuting tuple $\bfT$ of…
