Let T be a quasidiagonal operator on a separable Hilbert space. Then T is the norm limit of operators, each of which generate a finite dimensional C*-algebra, if and only if the C*-algebra generated by T is exact.

We study expansions of Hilbert spaces with a bounded normal operator $T$. We axiomatize this theory in a natural language and identify all of its completions. We prove the definability of the adjoint $T^*$ and prove quantifier elimination…

Let $H_1,H_2$ be complex Hilbert spaces and $T$ be a densely defined closed linear operator (not necessarily bounded). It is proved that for each $\epsilon>0$, there exists a bounded operator $S$ with $\|S\|\leq \epsilon$ such that $T+S$ is…

In general, it is a non trivial task to determine the adjoint $S^*$ of an unbounded operator $S$ acting between two Hilbert spaces. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a given operator $T$ to be identical with $S^*$. In our…

In this paper we extensively investigate the class of conditionally positive definite operators, namely operators generating conditionally positive definite sequences. This class itself contains subnormal operators, $2$- and $3$-isometries…

We study infinite weighted graphs with view to \textquotedblleft limits at infinity,\textquotedblright or boundaries at infinity. Examples of such weighted graphs arise in infinite (in practice, that means \textquotedblleft…

Let $\mathcal H$ be a Hilbert space. Given a bounded positive definite operator $S$ on $\mathcal H$, and a bounded sequence $\mathbf{c} = \{c_k \}_{k \in \mathbb N}$ of non negative real numbers, the pair $(S, \mathbf{c})$ is frame…

In his monograph on Infinite Abelian Groups, I. Kaplansky raised three ``test problems" concerning their structure and multiplicity. As noted by Azoff, these problems make sense for any category admitting a direct sum operation. Here, we…

In this paper, the concept of Birkhoff--James orthogonality of operators on a Hilbert space is generalized when a semi-inner product is considered. More precisely, for linear operators $T$ and $S$ on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, a…

In this brief note we describe relations between the well known notion of a relatively bounded operator and the operator E-norms considered in [arXiv:1806.05668]. We show that the set of all $\sqrt{G}$-bounded operators equipped with the…

Let $A$ be a normal operator in a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, and let $\mathcal{G} \subset \mathcal{H}$ be a countable set of vectors. We investigate the relations between $A$, $\mathcal{G}$ , and $L$ that makes the system of iterations…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a linear space equipped with an indefinite inner product $[\cdot, \cdot]$. Denote by $\mathcal{F}_{++}=\{f\in\mathcal{H} \ : \ [f,f]>0\}$ the nonlinear set of positive vectors in $\mathcal{H}$. We demonstrate that the…

An operator algebra $\mathcal{A}$ acting on a Hilbert space is said to have the closability property if every densely defined linear transformation commuting with $\mathcal{A}$ is closable. In this paper we study the closability property of…

The paper considers some new properties of the so-called $A$-maximal numerical range of operators, denoted by $W_{\max}^A(\cdot)$, where $A$ is a positive bounded linear operator acting on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. Some…

The variance of a bounded linear operator $a$ on a Hilbert space $H$ at a unit vector $h$ is defined by $D_h(a)=\|ah\|^2-|<ah,h>|^2$. We show that two operators $a$ and $b$ have the same variance at all vectors $h\in H$ if and only if there…

Let $\lambda$ be a complex number in the closed unit disc $\overline{\Bbb D}$, and $\cal H$ be a separable Hilbert space with the orthonormal basis, say, ${\cal E}=\{e_n:n=0,1,2,\cdots\}$. A bounded operator $T$ on $\cal H$ is called a…

There has been a long-standing conjecture in Banach algebra that every amenable operator is similar to a normal operator. In this paper, we study the structure of amenable operators on Hilbert spaces. At first, we show that the conjecture…

Let $A$ be an operator on {a separable } Hilbert space $\cH$, and let $G \subset \cH$. It is known that - under appropriate conditions on $A$ and $G$ - the set of iterations $F_G(A)= \{A^j \gbf \; | \; \gbf \in G, \; 0 \leq j \leq L(\gbf)…

Criteria for an algebraic operator $T$ on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ to be unitary are established. The main one is written in terms of the convergence of sequences of the form $\{\|T^nh\|\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ with $h\in…

Let $E$ and $F$ be Hilbert $C^*$-modules over a $C^*$-algebra $\CAlg{A}$. New classes of (possibly unbounded) operators $t:E\to F$ are introduced and investigated. Instead of the density of the domain $\Def(t)$ we only assume that $t$ is…
