We study the projection constant of the space of operators on $n$-dimensional Hilbert spaces, with the trace norm, $\mathcal S_1(n)$. We show an integral formula for the projection constant of $\mathcal S_1(n)$; namely $…

It is known that if a nonlinear control affine system without drift is bracket generating, then its associated sub-Laplacian is invertible under some conditions on the domain. In this note, we investigate the converse. We show how…

Given a von Neumann algebra $M$ with a faithful normal finite trace, we introduce the so called finite tracial algebra $M_f$ as the intersection of $L_p$-spaces $L_p(M, \mu)$ over all $p \geq 1$ and over all faithful normal finite traces…

Aluthge transform of a bounded operator is generalized to the case of unbounded one. A formula for the Aluthge transform of a weighted shift on a directed tree is established and it is used to construct an example of a hyponormal operator…

Let $\lambda \in (0,1)$ and let $T$ be a $r\times r$ complex matrix with polar decomposition $T=U|T|$. Then, the $\la$- Aluthge transform is defined by $$ \Delta_\lambda (T )= |T|^{\lambda} U |T |^{1-\lambda}. $$ Let $\Delta_\lambda^{n}(T)$…

We consider convex trace functions $\Phi_{p,q,s} = Trace[ (A^{q/2}B^p A^{q/2})^s]$ where $A$ and $B$ are positive $n\times n$ matrices and ask when these functions are convex or concave. We also consider operator convexity/concavity of…

In this article the operator trace function $ \Lambda_{r,s}(A)[K, M] := {\operatorname{tr}}(K^*A^r M A^r K)^s$ is introduced and its convexity and concavity properties are investigated. This function has a direct connection to several…

Given $n$ disjoint intervals $I_j$, on $\mathbb R$ together with $n$ functions $\psi_j\in L^2(I_j)$, $j=1,\dots n$, and an $n\times n$ matrix $\Theta$, the problem is to find an $L^2$ solution $\vec \varphi= {\rm Col} (\varphi_1,\dots,…

Let \(E\) be a finite-dimensional real vector space. We study invertible objects in the monoidal category of constructible sheaves on \(E\), endowed with the convolution product \(\star\). We show that the inverse of an invertible…

This paper revisits the classical problem "Can we hear the density of a string?", which can be formulated as an inverse spectral problem for a Sturm-Liouville operator. Based on inverting a sequence of trace formulas, we propose a new…

Let $T$ be a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space $H$ such that \[ \alpha[T^*,T]:=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \alpha_n T^{*n}T^n\ge 0. \] where $\alpha(t)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \alpha_n t^n$ is a suitable analytic function in the unit disc…

The Schur algebra is the algebra of operators which are bounded on l^1 and on l^{\infty}. Q. Sun conjectured that the Schur algebra is inverse-closed. In this note, we disprove this conjecture. Precisely, we exhibit an operator in the Schur…
