It is shown that a positive (bounded linear) operator on a Hilbert space with trivial kernel is unitarily equivalent to a Hankel operator that satisfies double positivity condition if and only if it is non-invertible and has simple spectrum…

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…

A topological space $A$ is said to be compatible with a set $\Sigma$ of equations (involving operation symbols $F_t$) iff there are continuous operations $\overline F_t$ identically satisfying $\Sigma$ on $A$. The paper's main focus is on…

We prove that for every bounded linear operator $T:X\to X$, where $X$ is a non-reflexive quotient of a von Neumann algebra, the point spectrum of $T^*$ is non-empty (i.e. for some $\lambda\in\mathbb C$ the operator $\lambda I-T$ fails to…

We describe a general technique to study Dirac operators on noncommutative spaces under some additional assumptions. The main idea is to capture the compact resolvent condition in a combinatorial set up. Using this, we then prove that for a…

Let $E$ and $F$ be two Hilbert $C^*$-modules over $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$, respectively. Let $T$ be a surjective linear isometry from $E$ onto $F$ and $\varphi$ a map from $A$ into $B$. We will prove in this paper that if the…

We associate to an operator valued completely positive linear map $\varphi$ on a $C^{\ast }$-algebra $A$ and a Hilbert $C^{\ast }$-module $X$ over $A$ a subset $X_{\varphi }$ of $X,$ called '\textit{ternary domain}' of $\varphi$ on $X,$…

A bounded linear operator $T$ on a separable complex Hilbert space $H$ is called $C$-normal if there is a conjugation $C$ on $H$ such that $ CT^\ast TC=TT^\ast$. Let $\varphi$ be a linear fractional self-map of $\mathbb{D}$. In this paper,…

The simplest and most natural examples of completely nonunitary contractions on separable complex Hilbert spaces which have polynomial characteristic functions are the nilpotent operators. The main purpose of this paper is to prove the…

For a linear operator $T$ in a Banach space let $\sigma_p(T)$ denote the point spectrum of $T$, $\sigma_{p[n]}(T)$ for finite $n > 0$ be the set of all $\lambda \in \sigma_p(T)$ such that $\dim \ker (T - \lambda) = n$ and let…

We give a solution, via operator spaces, of an old problem in the Morita equivalence of C*-algebras. Namely, we show that C*-algebras are strongly Morita equivalent in the sense of Rieffel if and only if their categories of left operator…

A commuting triple of operators $(A,B,P)$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is called a tetrablock contraction if the closure of the set $$ E = \{\underline{x}=(x_1,x_2,x_3)\in \mathbb{C}^3: 1-x_1z-x_2w+x_3zw \neq 0 \text{whenever}|z| \leq…
