We present the notion of non-abelian descent type, which classifies torsors up to twisting by a Galois cocycle. This relies on the previous construction of kernels and non-abelian Galois 2-cohomology due to Springer and Borovoi. The…

We study graphs with nonnegative Bakry-\'Emery curvature or Ollivier curvature outside a finite subset. For such a graph, via introducing the discrete Gromov-Hausdorff convergence we prove that the space of bounded harmonic functions is…

Sub-Bergman Hilbert spaces are analogues of de Branges-Rovnyak spaces in the Bergman space setting. They are reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces contractively contained in the Bergman space of the unit disk. K. Zhu analyzed sub-Bergman…

It is known that there exist functions in certain de Branges--Rovnyak spaces whose Taylor series diverge in norm, even though polynomials are dense in the space. This is often proved by showing that the sequence of Taylor partial sums is…

It is proved recently by Benamara-Nikolski that a contraction having finite defects and spectrum not filling in the closed unit disc, is similar to a normal operator if and only if it has the so-called linear resolvent growth property. We…

The category of Hilbert spaces and linear contractions is characterised by elementary categorical properties that do not refer to probabilities, complex numbers, norm, continuity, convexity, or dimension.

In this paper we characterize surjective isometries on certain classes of non-commutative spaces associated with semi-finite von Neumann algebras: the Lorentz spaces $L^{w,1}$, as well as the spaces $L^1+L^\infty$ and $L^1\cap L^\infty$.…

We describe the radial Fock type spaces which possess Riesz bases of normalized reproducing kernels and which are (are not) isomorphic to de Branges spaces in terms of the weight functions.

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 extend the de Branges-Beurling theorem characterizing the shift-invariant spaces boundedly contained in the Hardy space of square-summable power series to the full Fock space over $\mathbb{C} ^d$. Here, the full Fock space is identified…

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…

Let $T$ be a closed linear relation from a Hilbert space ${\mathfrak H}$ to a Hilbert space ${\mathfrak K}$ and let $B \in \mathbf{B}({\mathfrak K})$ be selfadjoint. It will be shown that the relation $T^{*}(I+iB)T$ is maximal sectorial via…

To every non-extreme point $b$ of the unit ball of $\hil^\infty$ of the unit disk there corresponds a Pythagorean mate, a bounded outer function $a$ satisfying the equation $|a|^2 + |b|^2 = 1$ on the boundary of the disk. We study…

We completely characterize extreme contractions between two-dimensional strictly convex and smooth real Banach spaces, perhaps for the very first time. In order to obtain the desired characterization, we introduce the notions of (weakly)…

The non-abelian Hodge correspondence identifies complex variations of Hodge structures with certain Higgs bundles. In this work we analyze this relationship, and some of its ramifications, when the variations of Hodge structures are…

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…

Non-extremal intersecting p-brane solutions of gravity coupled with several antisymmetric fields and dilatons in various space-time dimensions are constructed. The construction uses the same algebraic method of finding solutions as in the…

We propose a scalar-tensor representation of $f(R)$ theories with use of conformal transformations. In this representation, the model takes the form of the Brans-Dicke model with a potential function and a non-zero kinetic term for the…

We have studied scalar potentials V of gauged N=8,4,2 supergravities in d=4. Extrema of these potentials may correspond to de Sitter, anti de Sitter and Minkowski vacua. All de Sitter extrema that we have studied correspond to unstable…

We investigate a curved brane-world, inspired by a noncommutative D3-brane, in a type IIB string theory. We obtain, an axially symmetric and a spherically symmetric, (anti) de Sitter black holes in 4D. The event horizons of these black…
