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…

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a pair $S,T$ of Hilbert space operators in order that they satisfy $S^*=T$ and $T^*=S$. As a main result we establish an improvement of von Neumann's classical theorem on the positive…

A linear operator on a Hilbert space $\mathbb{H}$, in the classical approach of von Neumann, must be symmetric to guarantee self-adjointness. However, it can be shown that the symmetry could be ommited by using a criterion for the graph of…

We provide sufficient and necessary conditions guaranteeing equations $(A+B)^*=A^*+B^*$ and $(AB)^*=B^*A^*$ concerning densely defined unbounded operators $A,B$ between Hilbert spaces. We also improve the perturbation theory of selfadjoint…

For a {bounded} non-negative self-adjoint operator acting in a complex, infinite-dimensional, separable Hilbert space H and possessing a dense range R we propose a new approach to characterisation of phenomenon concerning the existence of…

Let $H_1$ and $H_2$ be selfadjoint operators or relations (multivalued operators) acting on a separable Hilbert space and assume that the inequality $H_1 \leq H_2$ holds. Then the validity of the inequalities $-H_1^{-1} \leq -H_2^{-1}$ and…

The purpose of this note is to present several criteria for essential self-adjointness. The method is based on ideas due to Shubin. This note is divided into two parts. The first part deals with symmetric first order systems on the line in…

In this paper we provide a quantitative comparison of two obstructions for a given symmetric operator S with dense domain in Hilbert space ${\cal H}$ to be selfadjoint. The first one is the pair of deficiency spaces of von Neumann, and the…

In this paper we provide a criterion of essential self-adjointness for operators in the tensor product of a separable Hilbert space and a Fock space. The class of operators we consider may contain a self-adjoint part, a part that preserves…

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…

In this paper we give a new and constructive approach to stationary scattering theory for pairs of self-adjoint operators $H_0$ and $H_1$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ which satisfy the following conditions: (i) for any open bounded…

In this paper, the concept of Birkhoff--James orthogonality of operators on a Hilbert space is generalized when a semi-inner product is considered. More precisely, for linear operators $T$ and $S$ on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, a…

The main goal of this paper is to show that a (not necessarily densely defined or closed) symmetric operator $A$ acting on a real or complex Hilbert space is selfadjoint exactly when $I+A^2$ is a full range operator.

This note deals with the operator $T^*T$, where $T$ is a densely defined operator on a complex Hilbert space. We reprove a recent result of Z. Sebesty\'en and Zs. Tarcsay [13]: If $T^*T$ and $TT^*$ are self-adjoint, then $T$ is closed. In…

Let $\lambda$ be a complex number in the closed unit disc $\overline{\Bbb D}$, and $\cal H$ be a separable Hilbert space with the orthonormal basis, say, ${\cal E}=\{e_n:n=0,1,2,\cdots\}$. A bounded operator $T$ on $\cal H$ is called a…

In the paper, we prove an analogue of the Kato-Rosenblum theorem in a semifinite von Neumann algebra. Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a countably decomposable, properly infinite, semifinite von Neumann algebra acting on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$…

Closed operators in Hilbert space defined by a non-self-adjoint resolution of the identity $\{X(\lambda)\}_{\lambda\in {\mb R}}$, whose adjoints constitute also a resolution of the identity, are studied . In particular, it is shown that a…

The selfadjoint extensions of a closed linear relation $R$ from a Hilbert space ${\mathfrak H}_1$ to a Hilbert space ${\mathfrak H}_2$ are considered in the Hilbert space ${\mathfrak H}_1\oplus{\mathfrak H}_2$ that contains the graph of…

Given a self-adjoint operator $T$ on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space we study the problem of characterizing the set $\mathcal D(T)$ of all possible diagonals of $T$. For operators $T$ with at least two points in their…
