We provide sufficient and necessary conditions guaranteeing equations $(A+B)^*=A^*+B^*$ and $(AB)^*=B^*A^*$ concerning densely defined unbounded operators $A,B$ between Hilbert spaces. We also improve the perturbation theory of selfadjoint…

Let $A_{1}$, $A_{2}$, $...$, $A_{k}$ be strictly positive operators on a Hilbert space. This note is to show a sufficient condition of $A_{k}\geq A_{k-1}\geq\geq A_{3}\geq A_{2}\geq A_{1}$, which extends the related result before.

In general, it is a non trivial task to determine the adjoint $S^*$ of an unbounded operator $S$ acting between two Hilbert spaces. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a given operator $T$ to be identical with $S^*$. In our…

We prove that if $0<\a<1$ and $f$ is in the H\"older class $\L_\a(\R)$, then for arbitrary self-adjoint operators $A$ and $B$ with bounded $A-B$, the operator $f(A)-f(B)$ is bounded and $\|f(A)-f(B)\|\le\const\|A-B\|^\a$. We prove a similar…

The operator function (A,B)\to\tr f(A,B)(K^*)K, defined on pairs of bounded self-adjoint operators in the domain of a function f of two real variables, is convex for every Hilbert Schmidt operator K, if and only if f is operator convex. As…

Let $U$ be a unitary operator defined on some infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space ${\cal H}$. Under some suitable regularity assumptions, it is known that a local positive commutation relation between $U$ and an auxiliary…

A linear operator on a Hilbert space $\mathbb{H}$, in the classical approach of von Neumann, must be symmetric to guarantee self-adjointness. However, it can be shown that the symmetry could be ommited by using a criterion for the graph of…

It is proved that for adjointable operators $A$ and $B$ between Hilbert $C^*$-modules, certain majorization conditions are always equivalent without any assumptions on $\overline{\mathcal{R}(A^*)}$, where $A^*$ denotes the adjoint operator…

If $U$ is a unitary operator on a separable complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, an application of the spectral theorem says there is a conjugation $C$ on $\mathcal{H}$ (an antilinear, involutive, isometry on $\mathcal{H}$) for which $ C U…

Let $A$ be a positive definite operator on a Hilbert space $H$, and $|||.|||$ be a unitarily invariant norm on $B(H)$. We show that if $f$ is an operator monotone function on $(0,\infty)$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$, then $|||D^n…

In this paper, we give the Alzer inequality for Hilbert space operators as follows: Let $A, B$ be two selfadjoint operators on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ such that $0 < A, B \le \frac{1}{2}I$, where $I$ is identity operator on $\mathcal…

For a closed densely defined operator $T$ from a Hilbert space $\mathfrak{H}$ to a Hilbert space $\mathfrak{K}$, necessary and sufficient conditions are established for the factorization of $T$ with a bounded nonnegative operator $X$ on…

We find first structural background information about the reasons that for any C*-algebra $A$ and any two Hilbert $A$-modules $M \subseteq N$ with $M^\perp=\{0\}$, every bounded $A$-linear map $N \to A$ (or $N \to N)$ vanishing on $M$ might…

Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space and let ${\mathcal C}$ be a conjugacy class of finite rank self-adjoint operators on $H$ with respect to the action of unitary operators. We suppose that ${\mathcal C}$ is formed by operators of rank $k$…

Let $C$ be a conjugation on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. A densely defined linear operator $A$ on $\mathcal{H}$ is called $C$-symmetric if $CAC\subseteq A^*$ and $C$-self-adjoint if $CAC=A^*$. Our main results describe all…

We consider the question of, given operators $A$, $Z$ and a sequence of invertible operators $U_n\to Z$, whether the sequence $U_nAU_n^{-1}$ is bounded in norm, as well as generalizations of this where $U_nAU_n^{-1}$ is modified by some…

Assume that $Au=f,\quad (1)$ is a solvable linear equation in a Hilbert space $H$, $A$ is a linear, closed, densely defined, unbounded operator in $H$, which is not boundedly invertible, so problem (1) is ill-posed. It is proved that the…

We extend the celebrated L\"owner--Heinz inequality by showing that if $A, B$ are Hilbert space operators such that $A > B \geq 0$, then A^r - B^r \geq ||A||^r-(||A||- \frac{1}{||(A-B)^{-1}||})^r > 0 for each $0 < r \leq 1$. As an…

In this article, we present a new subadditivity behavior of convex and concave functions, when applied to Hilbert space operators. For example, under suitable assumptions on the spectrum of the positive operators $A$ and $B$, we prove that…
