We consider the Schur-Horn problem for normal operators in von Neumann algebras, which is the problem of characterizing the possible diagonal values of a given normal operator based on its spectral data. For normal matrices, this problem is…

We study an ensemble of random matrices (the Rosenzweig-Porter model) which, in contrast to the standard Gaussian ensemble, is not invariant under changes of basis. We show that a rather complete understanding of its level correlations can…

We study spectral stability of the $\bar\partial$-Neumann Laplacian on a bounded domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ when the underlying domain is perturbed. In particular, we establish upper semi-continuity properties for the variational eigenvalues…

Guo and the second author have shown that the closure $[I]$ in the Drury-Arveson space of a homogeneous principal ideal $I$ in $\mathbb{C}[z_1,...,z_n]$ is essentially normal. In this note, the authors extend this result to the closure of…

This is an introduction to the algebras $A\subset B(H)$ that the linear operators $T:H\to H$ can form, once a complex Hilbert space $H$ is given. Motivated by quantum mechanics, we are mainly interested in the von Neumann algebras, which…

Let $X,Y$ be normal bounded operators on a Hilbert space such that $e^X=e^Y$. If the spectra of $X$ and $Y$ are contained in the strip $\s$ of the complex plane defined by $|\Im(z)|\leq \pi$, we show that $|X|=|Y|$. If $Y$ is only assumed…

Let $T$ be a self-adjoint operator in a Hilbert space $H$ with domain $\mathcal D(T)$. Assume that the spectrum of $T$ is confined in the union of disjoint intervals $\Delta_k =[\alpha_{2k-1},\alpha_{2k}]$, $k\in \mathbb{Z}$, and $$…

The review presents general methods for treating complicated problems that cannot be solved exactly and whose solution encounters two major difficulties. First, there are no small parameters allowing for the safe use of perturbation theory…

We prove a simple criterion for essential normality of composition operators on the Hardy space induced by maps in a reasonably large class of analytic self-maps of the unit disk. By combining this criterion with boundary…

Let $(X,d)$ be a locally compact separable ultrametric space. Given a measure $m$ on $X$ and a function $C$ defined on the set $\mathcal{B}$ of all balls $B\subset X$ we consider the hierarchical Laplacian $L=L_{C}$. The operator $L$ acts…

We consider semiclassical Schroedinger operators on R^n, with C^\infty potentials decaying polynomially at infinity. The usual theories of resonances do not apply in such a non-analytic framework. Here, under some additional conditions, we…

The causal perturbation theory is an axiomatic perturbative theory of the S-matrix. This formalism has as its essence the following axioms: causality, Lorentz invariance and asymptotic conditions. Any other property must be showed via the…

We consider the eigenvalues of an elliptic operator for systems with bounded, measurable, and symmetric coefficients. We assume we have two non-empty, open, disjoint, and bounded sets and add a set of small measure to form the perturbed…

We study a one-parameter family of self-adjoint normal operators for the X-ray transform on the closed Euclidean disk ${\mathbb D}$, obtained by considering specific singularly weighted $L^2$ topologies. We first recover the well-known…

For the open unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ in the complex plane, it is well known that if $\phi \in C(\overline{\mathbb{D}})$ then its Berezin transform $\widetilde{\phi}$ also belongs to $C(\overline{\mathbb{D}})$. We say that $\mathbb{D}$ is…

We show that a compact operator $A$ is a multiple of a positive semi-definite operator if and only if $$ \sigma(AB) \subseteq \overline{W(A)W(B)}, \quad\text{for all (rank one) operators $B$}. $$ An example of a normal operator is given to…

Finite rank perturbations of diagonalizable normal operators acting boundedly on infinite dimensional, separable, complex Hilbert spaces are considered from the standpoint of view of the existence of invariant subspaces. In particular, if…

Koopman operator theory is shown to be directly related to the renormalization group. This observation allows us, with no assumption of translational invariance, to compute the critical exponents $\eta$ and $\delta$, as well as ratios of…

We consider families of random non-unitary contraction operators defined as deformations of CMV matrices which appear naturally in the study of random quantum walks on trees or lattices. We establish several deterministic and almost sure…

We construct operator systems $\mathfrak C_I$ that are universal in the sense that all operator systems can be realized as their quotients. They satisfy the operator system lifting property. Without relying on the theorem by Kirchberg, we…
