For a unitary operator the family of its unitary perturbations by rank one operators with fixed range is parametrized by a complex parameter $\gamma, |\gamma|=1$. Namely all such unitary perturbations are $U_\gamma:=U+(\gamma-1) (.,…

Given a complex, separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we characterize those operators for which $\| P T (I-P) \| = \| (I-P) T P \|$ for all orthogonal projections $P$ on $\mathcal{H}$. When $\mathcal{H}$ is finite-dimensional, we also…

We prove some estimates for elementary symmetric polynomials on $\mathbb D^n.$ We show that these estimates are sharp which allow us to study the properties of closed symmetrized polydisc $\Gamma_n.$ Furthermore, we show the existence and…

We give properties of strict pseudocontractions and demicontractions defined on a Hilbert space, which constitute wide classes of operators that arise in iterative methods for solving fixed point problems. In particular, we give necessary…

Given a contraction A on a Hilbert space H, an operator T on H is said to be A-invariant if <Tx,x>=<TAx,Ax> for every x in H such that ||Ax||=||x||. In the special case in which both defect indices of A are equal to 1, we show that every…

For commuting linear operators $P_0,P_1,..., P_\ell$ we describe a range of conditions which are weaker than invertibility. When any of these conditions hold we may study the composition $P=P_0P_1... P_\ell$ in terms of the component…

In this paper, we provide the spectral decomposition in Hilbert space of the $\mathcal{C}_0$-semigroup $P$ and its adjoint $\hatP$ having as generator, respectively, the Caputo and the right-sided Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives of…

This paper studies the \(k^{th}-\)order slant Toeplitz and slant little Hankel operators on the weighted Bergman space \(\mathcal{A}_\alpha^2(\mathbb{D})\). These operators are constructed using a slant shift operator \(W_k\) composed with…

A commuting triple of Hilbert space operators $(A,B,P)$, for which the closed tetrablock $\bar{\mathbb E}$ is a spectral set, is called a \textit{tetrablock-contraction} or simply an $\mathbb E$-\textit{contraction}, where \[ \mathbb…

Consider three normal operators $A,B,C$ on separable Hilbert space $\H$ as well as scalar-valued spectral measures $\lambda_A$ on $\sigma(A)$, $\lambda_B$ on $\sigma(B)$ and $\lambda_C$ on $\sigma(C)$. For any $\phi\in…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a separable Hilbert space and $P$ be an idempotent on $\mathcal{H}.$ We denote by $$\Gamma_{P}=\{J: J=J^{\ast}=J^{-1} \hbox{ }\hbox{ and }\hbox{ } JPJ=I-P\}$$ and $$\Delta_{P}=\{J: J=J^{\ast}=J^{-1} \hbox{ }\hbox{ and…

We develop a Sz.-Nagy--Foias-type functional model for a commutative contractive operator tuple $\underline{T} = (T_1, \dots, T_d)$ having $T = T_1 \cdots T_d$ equal to a completely nonunitary contraction. We identify additional invariants…

For $\alpha, \beta \in L^{\infty} (S^1),$ the singular integral operator $S_{\alpha,\beta}$ on $L^2 (S^1)$ is defined by $S_{\alpha,\beta}f:= \alpha Pf+\beta Qf$, where $P$ denotes the orthogonal projection of $L^2(S^1)$ onto the Hardy…

We study weighted composition operators on Hilbert spaces of analytic functions on the unit ball with kernels of the form $(1-<z,w>)^{-\gamma}$ for $\gamma>0$. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the adjoint of a weighted…

We introduce a notion of joint spectrum for a tuple of compact operators on a separable Hilbert space and show that in many situations these operators commute if and only if the joint spectrum consists of countably many, locally finite,…

We consider pairs of operators $A,B\in B(H)$, where $H$ is a Hilbert space, such that there exist a linear isometry $f$ from the span of $\{A,B\}$ into $\mathbb{C}^2$ mapping $A,B$ into orthonormal vectors. We prove some necessary…
