This paper studies the bidiagonal factorization of the collocation matrices of analytic bases using symmetric functions. Explicit formulas for their initial minors are derived in terms of Schur functions. The structure of these formulas…

The characteristic function for a contraction is a classical complete unitary invariant devised by Sz.-Nagy and Foias. Just as a contraction is related to the Szego kernel $k_S(z,w) = (1 - z\ow)^{-1}$ for $|z|, |w| < 1$, by means of…

The assignment (nonstable K_0-theory), that to a ring R associates the monoid V(R) of Murray-von Neumann equivalence classes of idempotent infinite matrices with only finitely nonzero entries over R, extends naturally to a functor. We prove…

Theoretical background of continuous contractions of finite-dimensional Lie algebras is rigorously formulated and developed. In particular, known necessary criteria of contractions are collected and new criteria are proposed. A number of…

Answering on the question of S.R.Treil [23], for every $\delta$, $0<\delta<1$, examples of contractions are constructed such that their characteristic functions $F\in H^\infty(\mathcal E\to\mathcal E_\ast)$ satisfy the conditions…

Analytic self-maps of the unit disc whose hyperbolic derivative is uniformly bounded by a constant smaller than one, are called contractive. We describe these maps in terms of their Aleksandrov-Clark measures and in terms of their…

Noncommutative rational functions, i.e., elements of the universal skew field of fractions of a free algebra, can be defined through evaluations of noncommutative rational expressions on tuples of matrices. This interpretation extends their…

Let $A = (A_1, \ldots, A_n)$ and $B = (B_1, \ldots, B_n)$ be row contractions on $\mathcal{H}_1$ and $\mathcal{H}_2$, respectively, and $X$ be a row operator from $\oplus_{i=1}^n \mathcal{H}_2$ to $\mathcal{H}_1$. Let $D_{A^*} = (I - A…

We find a lower bound for the essential norm of the difference of two composition operators acting on $H^2(B_N)$ or $A^2_s(B_N)$ ($s>-1$). This result plays an important role in proving a necessary and sufficient condition for the…

Over the years, several classes of scalarization techniques in optimization have been introduced and employed in deriving separation theorems, optimality conditions and algorithms. In this paper, we study the relationships between some of…

In the classical Hardy space theory of square-summable Taylor series in the complex unit disk there is a circle of ideas connecting Szeg\"o's theorem, factorization of positive semi-definite Toeplitz operators, non-extreme points of the…

One of the most important results in operator theory is And\^o's \cite{ando} generalization of dilation theory for a single contraction to a pair of commuting contractions acting on a Hilbert space. While there are two explicit…

We investigate the almost everywhere convergence of sequences of convolution operators given by probability measures $\mu_n$ on $\mathbb R$. If this sequence of operators constitutes an approximate identity on a particular class of…

We study the properties of two classes of meromorphic functions in the complex plane. The first one is the class of almost elliptic functions in the sense of Sunyer-i-Balaguer. This is the class of meromorphic functions f such that the…

We associate a weight function to pairs consisting of a smooth and proper variety X over a complete discretely valued field and a differential form on X of maximal degree. This weight function is a real-valued function on the…

We characterize inclusions of compact noncommutative convex sets with the property that every continuous affine function on the smaller set can be extended to a continuous affine function on the larger set with a uniform bound. As an…

Let $E$ be the open unit disk $\{z\in \mathbb{C}: |z|<1\}$. Let $A$ be the class of analytic functions in $E$, which have the form $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+...$. We define operators $L_n^\sigma\colon A\to A$ using the convolution *. Using these…

We describe the supports of a class of real-valued maps on $C*(X)$ introduced by Radul. Using this description, a characterization of compact-valued retracts of a given space in terms of functional extenders is obtained. For example, if…

The main result in this paper is a one term Szego type asymptotic formula with a sharp remainder estimate for a class of integral operators of the pseudodifferential type with symbols which are allowed to be non-smooth or discontinuous in…

We extend the de Branges-Rovnyak model for completely non-coisometric (CNC) linear contractions on a Hilbert space to the non-commutative multivariate setting of CNC row contractions. Namely, we show that any CNC contraction from several…
