We describe the norm-closures of the set $\mathfrak{C}_{\mathfrak{E}}$ of commutators of idempotent operators and the set $\mathfrak{E} - \mathfrak{E}$ of differences of idempotent operators acting on a finite-dimensional complex Hilbert…

A major open question in the theory of Toeplitz operator on the Bergman space of the unit disk of the complex plane is to fully characterize the set of all Toeplitz operators that commute with a given one. In [2], the second author…

We find characterization for the distinguished varieties in the symmetrized polydisc $\mathbb G_n \; (n\geq 2)$ and thus generalize the work [\textit{J. Funct. Anal.}, 266 (2014), 5779 -- 5800] on $\mathbb G_2$ by the author and Shalit. We…

Given a conjugation (involution) $C$ on a Hilbert space, $C$-self-adjoint contractive extensions of a non-densely defined $C$-symmetric contraction are studied and parameterizations of all such extensions are obtained. As an application, a…

The celebrated Sz.-Nagy and Foias and Ando theorems state that a single contraction, or a pair of commuting contractions, acting on a Hilbert space always possesses isometric dilation and subsequently satisfies the von Neumann inequality…

We establish a new decomposition formula for two orthogonal projections P and Q on a separable Hilbert space V. This formula yields an orthogonal direct sum decomposition of V into invariant subspaces under P and Q, each of which is either…

We present an alternative proof of the result by P. Gerard and S. Grellier, stating that given two real sequences $(\lambda_n)_{n=1}^\infty$, $(\mu_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ satisfying the intertwining relations \[ |\lambda_1| > |\mu_1| >…

We consider characterisations of unitary dilations and approximations of irreversible classical dynamical systems on a Hilbert space. In the commutative case, building on the work in [9], one can express well known approximants (e.g. Hille-…

In this article, we employ certain properties of the transform $C_{M,m}(A)=(MI-A^*)(A-mI)$ to obtain new inequalities for the bounded linear operator $A$ on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. In particular, we obtain new relations among…

(1) Let $A$ be an operator on a space ${\cal H}$ of even finite dimension. Then for some decomposition ${\cal H}={\cal F}\oplus{\cal F}^{\perp}$, the compressions of $A$ onto ${\cal F}$ and ${\cal F}^{\perp}$ are unitarily equivalent. (2)…

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…

We continue our analysis of the consequences of the commutation relation $[S,T]=\Id$, where $S$ and $T$ are two closable unbounded operators. The {\em weak} sense of this commutator is given in terms of the inner product of the Hilbert…

For a fixed natural number n, we consider a family of rank n unitary perturbations of a completely non-unitary contraction (cnu) with deficiency indices (n,n) on a separable Hilbert space. We relate the unitary dilation of such a…

The hexablock is a domain arising from a special case of the $\mu$-synthesis problem. We study the commuting operator tuples having the hexablock as a spectral set. Such a tuple is called a hexablock-contraction or simply $\mathbb…

In this paper we study the behavior of dilation operators $ D_\lambda \colon f \mapsto f(\lambda\,\cdot) $ with $ \lambda > 1 $ in the context of Triebel-Lizorkin-Morrey spaces $\mathcal{E}^{s}_{u,p,q}(\mathbb{R}^d)$. For that purpose we…

Let $(S_1, S_2)$ be a bi-isometry, that is, a pair of commuting isometries $S_1$ and $S_2$ on a complex Hilbert space $\mathscr H.$ By the von Neumann-Wold decomposition, the hyper-range $\mathscr H_\infty(S_1):=\cap_{n=0}^\infty…

Let $\big(\mathcal{H}, \langle \cdot\mid \cdot\rangle \big)$ be a complex Hilbert space and $A$ be a positive (semidefinite) bounded linear operator on $\mathcal{H}$. The semi-inner product induced by $A$ is given by ${\langle x\mid…

We investigate the operator $-\Delta -\alpha \delta (x-\Gamma)$ in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)$, where $\Gamma$ is a smooth surface which is either compact or periodic and satisfies suitable regularity requirements. We find an asymptotic expansion…

The purpose of this paper is to describe the Harnack parts for the operators of class C $\rho$ ($\rho$ \textgreater{} 0) on Hilbert spaces which were introduced by B. Sz. Nagy and C. Foias in [25]. More precisely, we study Harnack parts of…

When is the collection of $\mathsf S$-Toeplitz operators with respect to a tuple of commuting bounded operators $\mathsf S= (S_1, S_2, \ldots , S_{d-1}, P)$, which has the symmetrized polydisc as a spectral set, non-trivial? The answer is…
