In this article we study the action of the the Hilbert matrix operator $\mathcal H$ from the space of bounded analytic functions into conformally invariant Banach spaces. In particular, we describe the norm of $\mathcal{H}$ from $H^\infty$…
This paper is concerned with the convergence of power sequences and stability of Hilbert space operators, where "convergence" and "stability" refer to weak, strong and norm topologies. It is proved that an operator has a convergent power…
Extending a recent result by Frank and Lieb, we show an entropic uncertainty principle for mixed states in a Hilbert space relatively to pairs of positive operator valued measures that are independent in some sense. This yields…
Given a positive definite, bounded linear operator $A$ on the Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_0:=l^2(E)$, we consider a reproducing kernel Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_+$ with a reproducing kernel $A(x,y)$. Here $E$ is any countable set and…
We introduce the concept of a \mu-scale invariant operator with respect to unitary transformation in a separable complex Hilbert space. We show that if a nonnegative densely defined symmetric operator is \mu-scale invariant for some \mu >0,…
Numerical range of a Hermitian operator X is defined as the set of all possible expectation values of this observable among a normalized quantum state. We analyze a modification of this definition in which the expectation value is taken…
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…
Researchers have identified complex matrices $A$ such that a bounded linear operator $B$ acting on a Hilbert space will admit a dilation of the form $A \otimes I$ whenever the numerical range inclusion relation $W(B) \subseteq W(A)$ holds.…
Different estimates for the norm of the self-commutator of a Hilbert space operator are proposed. Particularly, this norm is bounded from above by twice of the area of the numerical range of the operator. An isoperimetric-type inequality is…
Motivated by the recent developments of pseudo-Hermitian quantum mechanics, we analyze the structure generated by unbounded metric operators in a Hilbert space. To that effect, we consider the notions of similarity and quasi-similarity…
We deal with countable alphabet locally compact random subshifts of finite type (the latter merely meaning that the symbol space is generated by an incidence matrix) under the absence of Big Images Property and under the absence of uniform…
Positive operator measures (with values in the space of bounded operators on a Hilbert space) and their generalizations, mainly positive sesquilinear form measures, are considered with the aim of providing a framework for their generalized…
When an eigenvector of a semi-bounded operator is positive, we show that a remarkably simple argument allows to obtain upper and lower bounds for its associated eigenvalue. This theorem is a substantial generalization of Barta-like…
We study the typical behavior of bounded linear operators on infinite dimensional complex separable Hilbert spaces in the norm, strong-star, strong, weak polynomial and weak topologies. In particular, we investigate typical spectral…
King and Ruskai asked whether the norm of a completely positive map acting between Schatten classes of operators is equal to that of its restriction to the real subspace of self-adjoint operators. Proofs have been promptly supplied by…
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues of the sum A+U*BU, where A and B are deterministic N by N Hermitian matrices having respective limiting compactly supported distributions \mu, \nu, and U is a random N by N unitary…
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…
For a sequence of uniformly bounded, degenerate semigroups on a Hilbert space, we compare various types of convergences to a limit semigroup. Among others, we show that convergence of the semigroups, or of the resolvents of the generators,…
Motivated by quantum thermodynamics we first investigate the notion of strict positivity, that is, linear maps which map positive definite states to something positive definite again. We show that strict positivity is decided by the action…
Each bounded operator T on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space H is a sum of three operators that are similar to positive operators; two such operators are sufficient if T is not a compact perturbation of a scalar. The spectra of L\"uders…
