We prove that the set of matchings with a fixed number of unmatched vertices is Schur-positive with respect to the set of short chords. Two proofs are presented. The first proof applies a new combinatorial criterion for Schur-positivity,…
We present a set of algebraic relations among Schur functions which are a multi-time generalization of the ``discrete Hirota relations'' known to hold among the Schur functions of rectangular partitions. We prove the relations as an…
We investigate an extension of Schauder's theorem by studying the relationship between various $s$-numbers of an operator $T$ and its adjoint $T^*$. We have three main results. First, we present a new proof that the approximation number of…
Measures with values in the set of sesquilinear forms on a subspace of a Hilbert space are of interest in quantum mechanics, since they can be interpreted as observables with only a restricted set of possible measurement preparations. In…
A complete characterization of the similarity between two operator-valued multishifts with invertible operator weights is obtained purely in terms of operator weights. This generalizes several existing results of the unitary equivalence of…
An order relation for contractions on a Hilbert space can be introduced by stating that $A\preccurlyeq B$ if and only $A$ is unitarily equivalent to the restriction of $B$ to an invariant subspace. We discuss the equivalence classes…
We define dual equivalence for any collection of combinatorial objects endowed with a descent set, and we show that giving a dual equivalence establishes the symmetry and Schur positivity of the quasi-symmetric generating function. We give…
We prove several singular value inequalities for sum and product of compact operators in Hilbert space. Some of our results generalize the previous inequalities for operators. Also, applications of some inequalities are given.
Every analytic self-map of the unit ball of a Hilbert space induces a bounded composition operator on the space of Bloch functions. Necessary and sufficient conditions for compactness of such composition operators are provided, as well as…
We characterize the set of diagonals of the unitary orbit of a self-adjoint operator with a finite spectrum. Our result extends the Schur-Horn theorem from a finite dimensional setting to an infinite dimensional Hilbert space analogous to…
Similar to works of G. Ellis (1998), the concept of covering pair of Lie algebras is defined. Also, we show the existence of covering pair for the pair of Lie algebras (L,N) and then show that every crossed module is a homomorphic image of…
The paper is concerned with the following question: if $A$ and $B$ are two bounded operators between Hilbert spaces $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{K}$, and $\mathcal{M}$ and $\mathcal{N}$ are two closed subspaces in $\mathcal{H}$, when will…
A linear map $u\colon \ E\to F$ between operator spaces is called completely co-bounded if it is completely bounded as a map from $E$ to the opposite of $F$. We give several simple results about completely co-bounded Schur multipliers on…
We consider an abstract sequence $\{A_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ of closed symmetric operators on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. It is assumed that all $A_n$'s have equal deficiency indices $(k,k)$ and thus self-adjoint extensions…
In this paper we study invertible extensions of a symmetric operator in a Hilbert space $H$. All such extensions are characterized by a parameter in the generalized Neumann's formulas. Generalized resolvents, which are generated by the…
In this paper we study shorted operators relative to two different subspaces, for bounded operators on infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. We define two notions of complementability in the sense of Ando for operators, and study the…
We define an equivalence relation on integer compositions and show that two ribbon Schur functions are identical if and only if their defining compositions are equivalent in this sense. This equivalence is completely determined by means of…
Given a densely defined and closed operator $A$ acting on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between its closed extensions and subspaces $\mathfrak{M}\subset\mathcal{D}(A^*)$, that are closed…
We propose a method for the spectral analysis of unbounded operator matrices in a general setting which fully abstains from standard perturbative arguments. Rather than requiring the matrix to act in a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we extend…
We give a short proof of the main result of our previous paper [2]: every Schmidt subspace of a Hankel operator is the image of a model space by an isometric multiplier. This class of subspaces is closely related to nearly $S^*$-invariant…
