To construct more homogeneous operators, B. Bagchi and G. Misra in \cite{d} introduced the operator $\left(\begin{smallmatrix} T_0 & T_0-T_1 \\ 0 & T_1\\ \end{smallmatrix}\right)$ and proved that when $T_0$ and $T_1$ are homogeneous…

For $ 0 < r < 1 $, let $ \mathbb{A}_r = \{ z \in \mathbb{C} : r < |z| < 1 \} $ be the annulus with boundary $ \partial \overline{\mathbb{A}}_r = \mathbb{T} \cup r\mathbb{T} $, where $ \mathbb{T} $ is the unit circle in the complex plane…

An important component of Ap\'ery's proof that $\zeta (3)$ is irrational involves representing $\zeta (3)$ as the limit of the quotient of two rational solutions to a three-term recurrence. We present various approaches to such Ap\'ery…

Trivially-acting symmetries in two-dimensional conformal field theory include twist fields of dimension zero which are local topological operators. We investigate the consequences of regarding these operators as part of the global symmetry…

Symmetry-adapted variational quantum eigensolvers (VQE) based on the Unitary Coupled-Cluster ansatz (SymUCCSD) effectively reduce the parameter count for Abelian molecular point groups. For non-Abelian groups, they systematically fail,…

In this note we sketch a proof of a fundamental conjecture, the codimension-three conjecture, for microdifferential holonomic systems with regular singularities. It states that any regular holonomic E-module extends beyond a…

It is proved recently by Benamara-Nikolski that a contraction having finite defects and spectrum not filling in the closed unit disc, is similar to a normal operator if and only if it has the so-called linear resolvent growth property. We…

A contraction $T$ on a (complex, separable) Hilbert space is stable, or of class $C_{0\cdot}$, if $T^n\to 0$ in the strong operator topology. It is proved that for a non-stable pure subnormal contraction $T$ there exists a singular inner…

This paper addresses extensions of the complex Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup to operator algebras in free probability theory. If $a_1,...,a_k$ are $\ast$-free $\mathscr{R}$-diagonal operators in a $\mathrm{II}_1$ factor, then $D_t(a_{i_1}...…

Let ${\mathscr A}(D)$ be an algebra of functions continuous in the disk $D=\{z\in{\mathbb C}\,|\,\,\,|z|\leqslant 1\}$ and {\it holomorphic} into $D$. The well-known fact is that the set ${\mathscr M}$ of its characters (homomorphisms…

An operator T on Hilbert space is a 3-isometry if there exists operators B and D such that (T*)^n T^n = I+nB +n^2 D. An operator J is a Jordan operator if it the sum of a unitary U and nilpotent N of order two which commute. If T is a…

We systematically classify all possible poles of superconformal blocks as a function of the scaling dimension of intermediate operators, for all superconformal algebras in dimensions three and higher. This is done by working out the…

We present new results on the block-diagonalization of Dirac operators on three-dimensional Euclidean space with unbounded potentials. Classes of admissible potentials include electromagnetic potentials with strong Coulomb singularities and…

We studied dimensional reduction and T-duality in spacelike brane solutions of 10 or 11 dimensional supergravity, including spacelike counterparts of wave and monopole solutions. Dimensional reduction is well-defined if, and only if, the…

Famous results due to von Neumann, Sz.-Nagy and Arveson assert that the following four statements are equivalent; a Hilbert space operator $T$ is a contraction; the closed unit disk $\overline{\mathbb D}$ is a spectral set for $T$; $T$ can…

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…

A commuting tuple of operators $(S_1,\dots, S_{n-1},P)$, defined on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$, for which the closed symmetrized polydisc \[ \Gamma_n =\left\{ \left(\sum_{1\leq i\leq n} z_i,\sum_{1\leq i<j\leq n}z_iz_j,\dots,…

In this paper, we study orbit closures under diagonal torus actions. We show that if $(x,y)\in\mathbb{T}^2$ is not contained in any rational lines, then its orbit under the $\times 2, \times 3, \times 5$ actions is dense in $\mathbb{T}^2.$

In this paper we prove that Dirac operators on non-compact complete orbifolds which are sufficiently regular at infinity, admit a unique extension. Additonally, we prove a generalized orbifold Stokes'/Divergence theorem.

Let $\eps >0$. We prove that there exists an operator $T_\eps:\ell_2\to\ell_2$, such that for any polynomial $P$ we have $\|{P(T)}\| \leq(1+\eps)\|{P}\|_\infty$, but which is not similar to a contraction, {\it i.e.} there does not exist an…
