Parallel to the study of finite dimensional Banach spaces, there is a growing interest in the corresponding local theory of operator spaces. We define a family of Hilbertian operator spaces H_n^k,0< k < n+1, generalizing the row and column…

This paper generalizes the classical Sz.-Nagy--Foias $H^{\infty}(\mathbb{D})$ functional calculus for Hilbert space contractions. In particular, we replace the single contraction $T$ with a tuple $T=(T_1, \dots, T_d)$ of commuting bounded…

The closed symmetrized tridisc $\Gamma_3$ and its distinguished boundary $b\Gamma_3$ are the sets $\Gamma_3=\{ (z_1+z_2+z_3,z_1z_2+z_2z_3+z_3z_1,z_1z_2z_3): \,|z_i|\leq 1, i=1,2,3 \}\subseteq \mathbb C^3$ $b\Gamma_3=\{…

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…

Let $T$ be a quadratic operator on a complex Hilbert space $H$. We show that $T$ can be written as a product of two positive contractions if and only if $T$ is of the form $$aI \oplus bI \oplus\begin{pmatrix} aI & P \cr 0 & bI \cr…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a complex, separable Hilbert space and $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators acting on $\mathcal{H}$. Given a unitarily-invariant norm $\| \cdot \|_u$ on…

In this article, by considering $T=(T_1,\dots, T_d)$, an $d$-tuple of commuting contractions on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we study $T$-Toeplitz operators which consists of bounded operators $X$ on $\mathcal{H}$ such that \[ T_i^*XT_i=X…

A real reductive pair $(G,H)$ is called strongly spherical if the homogeneous space $(G\times H)/{\rm diag}(H)$ is real spherical. This geometric condition is equivalent to the representation theoretic property that ${\rm…

This paper is concerned with paired operators in the context of the Lebesgue Hilbert space on the unit circle and its subspace, the Hardy space. By considering when such operators commute, generalizations of the Brown--Halmos results for…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a separable infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space and let $\mathcal{J}$ be a two-sided ideal of the algebra of bounded operators $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$. The groups $\mathcal{G} \ell_\mathcal{J}$ and…

A pair of commuting Hilbert space contractions $(T_1,T_2)$ is said to be toral if there is a polynomial $p \in \mathbb C[z_1,z_2]$ such that its zero set $Z(p)$ defines a distinguished variety in the bidisc $\mathbb D^2$ and $p(T_1,T_2)=0$.…

Let $A_{\alpha}^{p}(\mathbb{B}^n;\mathbb{C}^d)$ be the weighted Bergman space on the unit ball $\mathbb{B}^n$ of $\mathbb{C}^n$ of functions taking values in $\mathbb{C}^d$. For $1<p<\infty$ let $\mathcal{T}_{p,\alpha}$ be the algebra…

A recent paper of Shemesh shows triangularizability of a pair $\{A, B\}$ of complex matrices satisfying the condition $A [A,B]=[A,B] B=0$, or equivalently, the matrices $A$ and $B$ commute with their product $A B$. In this paper we extend…

We investigate expansive Hilbert space operators $T$ that are finite rank perturbations of isometric operators. If the spectrum of $T$ is contained in the closed unit disc $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$, then such operators are of the form $T=…

We present several operator and norm inequalities for Hilbert space operators. In particular, we prove that if $A_{1},A_{2},...,A_{n}\in {\mathbb B}({\mathscr H})$, then…

We show that the open unit ball of the space of operators from a finite dimensional Hilbert space into a separable Hilbert space (we call it "operator ball") has a restricted form of normal structure if we endow it with a hyperbolic metric…

A bounded linear Hilbert space operator $S$ is said to be a $2$-isometry if the operator $S$ and its adjoint $S^*$ satisfy the relation $S^{*2}S^{2} - 2 S^{*}S + I = 0$. In this paper, we study Hilbert space operators having liftings or…
