Let H be an infinite-dimensional (real or complex) Hilbert space, viewed as a metric structure in its natural signature. We characterize the definable linear operators on H as exactly the "scalar plus compact" operators.
Given a complex, separable Hilbert space $\cH$, we consider differential expressions of the type $\tau = - (d^2/dx^2) + V(x)$, with $x \in (a,\infty)$ or $x \in \bbR$. Here $V$ denotes a bounded operator-valued potential $V(\cdot) \in…
The basic notions of quantum mechanics are formulated in terms of separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. In terms of the Hilbert lattice $\mathcal{L}$ of closed linear subspaces of $\mathcal{H}$ the notions of state and…
We extend the notion of the determinant function $\Lambda$, originally introduced by T.Fack for $\tau$-compact operators, to a natural algebra of $\tau$-measurable operators affiliated with a semifinite von Neumann algebra which coincides…
We study a mapping $\tau_G$ of the cone ${\mathbf B}^+({\mathcal H})$ of bounded nonnegative self-adjoint operators in a complex Hilbert space ${\mathcal H}$ into itself. This mapping is defined as a strong limit of iterates of the mapping…
Josza's definition of fidelity for a pair of (mixed) quantum states is studied in the context of two types of operator algebras. The first setting is mainly algebraic in that it involves unital C$^*$-algebras $A$ that possess a faithful…
Extending the notion of parallelism we introduce the concept of approximate parallelism in normed spaces and then substantially restrict ourselves to the setting of Hilbert space operators endowed with the operator norm. We present several…
New inequalities for the numerical radius of bounded linear operators defined on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ are given. In particular, it is established that if $T$ is a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$…

Let $A$ be a positive (semidefinite) bounded linear operator acting on a complex Hilbert space $\big(\mathcal{H}, \langle \cdot\mid \cdot\rangle \big)$. The semi-inner product ${\langle x\mid y\rangle}_A := \langle Ax\mid y\rangle$, $x,…
Consider a complex Hilbert space $\left(\mathcal{H}, \langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle\right)$ equipped with a positive bounded linear operator $A$ on $\mathcal{H}$. This induces a semi-norm $\|\cdot\|_A$ through the semi-inner product $\langle…
A complete characterization of Hilbert space operators that generate weakly amenable algebras remains open, even in the case of compact operator. Farenick, Forrest and Marcoux proposed the question that if $T$ is a compact weakly amenable…
For a countably decomposable finite von Neumann algebra $\mathscr{R}$, we show that any choice of a faithful normal tracial state on $\mathscr{R}$ engenders the same measure topology on $\mathscr{R}$ in the sense of Nelson (J. Func. Anal.,…
A famous question of Halmos asks whether every operator on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is a norm limit of reducible operators. In [30], Voiculescu gave this problem an affirmative answer by his remarkable non-commutative…
We consider the question of, given operators $A$, $Z$ and a sequence of invertible operators $U_n\to Z$, whether the sequence $U_nAU_n^{-1}$ is bounded in norm, as well as generalizations of this where $U_nAU_n^{-1}$ is modified by some…
