A Hilbert space operator $U$ is called universal (in the sense of Rota) if every Hilbert space operator is similar to a multiple of $U$ restricted to one of its invariant subspaces. It follows that the Invariant Subspace Problem for Hilbert…

Given a finite-dimensional inner product space $V$ and a group $G$ of isometries, we consider the problem of embedding the orbit space $V/G$ into a Hilbert space in a way that preserves the quotient metric as well as possible. This inquiry…

The aim of this work is to study frame theory in quaternionic Hilbert spaces. We provide a characterization of frames in these spaces through the associated operators. Additionally, we examine frames of the form $\{Lu_i\}_{i \in I}$, where…

In this paper we introduce a Hilbert series approach to build the operator basis for a N = 1 supersymmetry theory with chiral superfields. We give explicitly the form of the corrections that remove redundancies due to the equations of…

The finite entropy of black holes suggests that local regions of spacetime are described by finite-dimensional factors of Hilbert space, in contrast with the infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces of quantum field theory. With this in mind, we…

In this paper we study shorted operators relative to two different subspaces, for bounded operators on infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. We define two notions of complementability in the sense of Ando for operators, and study the…

Let $H_1,H_2$ be complex Hilbert spaces and $T:H_1\rightarrow H_2$ be a densely defined closed operator with domain $D(T)\subseteq H_1$ and $T^{\dagger}$ be the Moore-Penrose inverse of $T$. Let $S:H_1\rightarrow H_2$ be a bounded operator.…

We propose a new viewpoint on Hilbert scales extending them by means of all Hilbert spaces that are interpolation ones between spaces on the scale. We prove that this extension admits an explicit description with the help of…

We give a generalization of the Jordan canonical form theorem for a class of bounded linear operators on complex separable Hilbert spaces in terms of direct integrals. Precisely, we study the uniqueness of strongly irreducible…

This is the fourth of a series of papers surveying some small part of the remarkable work of our friend and colleague Nigel Kalton. We have written it as part of a tribute to his memory. It contains almost no new results. This time we…

We study the fixed point problem for a system of multivariate operators that are coordinate-wise monotone (i.e., nondecreasing or nonincreasing in each of the variables, independently), in the setting of quasi-ordered sets. We show that…

The most important open problem in Monotone Operator Theory concerns the maximal monotonicity of the sum of two maximally monotone operators provided that the classical Rockafellar's constraint qualification holds, which is called the "sum…

We consider existence and uniqueness of symmetric approximation of frames by normalized tight frames and of symmetric orthogonalization of bases by orthonormal bases in Hilbert spaces H . More precisely, we determine whether a given frame…

In this work we consider the Neumann problem for the Laplace operator and we prove an existence result in the H\"older spaces and obtain Schauder estimates. According to our knowledge this result is not explicitly proved in the several…

The theory of Toeplitz quantization presented in our previous paper is extended and further developed to include diverse and interesting non-commutative realizations of the classical Euclidean plane. This is done using Hilbert spaces of…

The concept of operator frame can be considered as a generalization of frame. Firstly, we introduce the notion of operator frame for the set of all adjointable operators $Hom_{\mathcal{A}}^{\ast}(\mathcal{X})$ on a Hilbert…

This is an update on the quasicentral modulus, an invariant for an n-tuple of Hilbert space operators and a rearrangement invariant norm, that plays a key-role in sharp multivariable generalizations of the classical Weyl-von Neumann-Kuroda…

We show that Hilbert's Nullstellensatz, the problem of deciding if a system of multivariate polynomial equations has a solution in the algebraic closure of the underlying field, lies in the counting hierarchy. More generally, we show that…

In this paper, we give a characterization of all closed linear operators in a separable Hilbert space which are unitarily equivalent to an integral operator in $L_2(R)$ with bounded and arbitrarily smooth Carleman kernel on $R^2$. In…

The polar factor of a bounded operator acting on a Hilbert space is the unique partial isometry arising in the polar decomposition. It is well known that the polar factor might not be a best approximant to its associated operator in the set…
