Let $X,Y$ be normal bounded operators on a Hilbert space such that $e^X=e^Y$. If the spectra of $X$ and $Y$ are contained in the strip $\s$ of the complex plane defined by $|\Im(z)|\leq \pi$, we show that $|X|=|Y|$. If $Y$ is only assumed…

In the present paper, we generalized some notions of bounded operators to un- bounded operators on Hilbert space such as k-quasihyponormal and k-paranormal unbounded operators. Furthermore, we extend the Kaplansky theorem for normal…

We give a new formula for the Lichnerowicz Laplacian on normal homogeneous spaces in terms of Casimir operators. We derive some practical estimates and apply them to the known list of non-symmetric, compact, simply connected homogeneous…

We prove lifting theorems for completely positive maps going out of exact $C^\ast$-algebras, where we remain in control of which ideals are mapped into which. A consequence is, that if $\mathsf X$ is a second countable topological space,…

Let $T$ be a bounded quaternionic normal operator on a right quaternionic Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. We show that $T$ can be factorized in a strongly irreducible sense, that is, for any $\delta >0$ there exist a compact operator $K$ with…

Given two complex Hilbert spaces $H$ and $K$, let $S(B(H))$ and $S(B(K))$ denote the unit spheres of the C$^*$-algebras $B(H)$ and $B(K)$ of all bounded linear operators on $H$ and $K$, respectively. We prove that every surjective isometry…

Let G be a closed subgroup of the isometry group of a proper CAT(0)-space X. We show that if G is non-elementary and contains a rank-one element then its second bounded cohomology group with coefficients in the regular representation is…

We show that the distance from an element of a C*-algebra to the set of regular elements is the infimum of the $\delta>0$ for which the $\delta$-cut-down of the element admits a polar decomposition within the algebra. This parallels results…

We show that every element of $\mathrm{SL}_{n}(\mathbb{Z}/q\mathbb{Z})$ can be lifted to an element of $\mathrm{SL}_{n}(\mathbb{Z})$ of norm at most $Cq^2\log q$, while there exists an element such that every lift of it is of norm at least…

In this article, we describe the irreducible components of the Hilbert scheme of $d$ points on $\mathbb{A}^n$ for $d=9,10$. The main techniques we use are the variety of commuting matrices and analyzing loci of local algebras with a…

Let $K$ be a compact subset of $\bar{\bold C} ={\bold R}^2$ and let $K^c$ denote its complement. We say $K\in HR$, $K$ is holomorphically removable, if whenever $F:\bar{\bold C} \to\bar{\bold C}$ is a homeomorphism and $F$ is holomorphic…

We establish that a closed set $E$ is removable for $C^{0,\alpha}$ H\"{o}lder continuous $p(x)$-harmonic functions in a bounded open domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, provided that for each compact subset $K$ of $E$, the…

We prove that if every element $u$ in a Hilbert space $H$ admits a representation as unconditionally convergent series $$u=\sum_{k=1}^\infty \langle u, y_k\rangle x_k,$$ then there exist nonzero scalars $\{\alpha_k\}_{k=1}^\infty$ such that…

We describe all isometries of the $q$-numerical radius on the space ${\mathcal K}(\mathcal H)$ of compact operators on a (possibly infinite-dimensional) Hilbert space $\mathcal H$.

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra and $I$ a dense ideal in $A$. A natural question in the theory of operator algebras is whether the property that all derivations $D: A \to I$ are inner (implemented by elements in $I$) implies that all…

We prove that the nilpotent commuting variety of a reductive Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of good characteristic is equidimensional. In characteristic zero, this confirms a conjecture of Vladimir Baranovsky. As a…

In a previous paper the second author introduced a compact topology on the space of closed ideals of a unital Banach algebra A. If A is separable then this topology is either metrizable or else neither Hausdorff nor first countable. Here it…

For a completely regular space $X$, let $C_B(X)$ be the normed algebra of all bounded continuous scalar-valued mappings on $X$ equipped with pointwise addition and multiplication and the supremum norm and let $C_0(X)$ be its subalgebra…

Let $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ be a finite extension. For all irreducible representations $\bar\rho: G_K \to G(\bar{\mathbb{F}}_p)$ valued in a general reductive group $G$, we construct crystalline lifts of $\bar\rho$ which are Hodge-Tate regular. We…

Let $H$ be an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space and let ${\mathcal G}_{\infty}(H)$ be the set of all closed subspaces of $H$ whose dimension and codimension both are infinite. We investigate (not necessarily surjective)…
