The parallel sum for adjoinable operators on Hilbert $C^*$-modules is introduced and studied. Some results known for matrices and bounded linear operators on Hilbert spaces are generalized to the case of adjointable operators on Hilbert…

For an $n\times n$ complex matrix $C$, the $C$-numerical range of a bounded linear operator $T$ acting on a Hilbert space of dimension at least $n$ is the set of complex numbers ${\rm tr}(CX^*TX)$, where $X$ is a partial isometry satisfying…

For $0<r<1$, let us consider the following annulus: \[ \mathbb A_r= \{ z\in \mathbb C\, : \, r<|z|<1 \}. \] A Hilbert space operator $T$ for which $\overline{\mathbb A}_r$ is a spectral set is called an $\mathbb A_r$-\textit{contraction}.…

We show that a Hilbert space bounded linear operator has an $m$-isometric lifting for some integer $m\ge 1$ if and only if the norms of its powers grow polynomially. In analogy with unitary dilations of contractions, we prove that such…

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…

(1) Let $A$ be an operator on a space ${\cal H}$ of even finite dimension. Then for some decomposition ${\cal H}={\cal F}\oplus{\cal F}^{\perp}$, the compressions of $A$ onto ${\cal F}$ and ${\cal F}^{\perp}$ are unitarily equivalent. (2)…

A commuting $n$-tuple $(T_1, \ldots, T_n)$ of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space $\clh$ associate a Hilbert module $\mathcal{H}$ over $\mathbb{C}[z_1, \ldots, z_n]$ in the following sense: \[\mathbb{C}[z_1, \ldots, z_n] \times…

In this paper, we give the Alzer inequality for Hilbert space operators as follows: Let $A, B$ be two selfadjoint operators on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ such that $0 < A, B \le \frac{1}{2}I$, where $I$ is identity operator on $\mathcal…

We investigate expansive Hilbert space operators $T$ that are finite rank perturbations of isometric operators. If the spectrum of $T$ is contained in the closed unit disc $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$, then such operators are of the form $T=…

In a recent paper it was shown that if a Hamiltonian H has an unbroken PT symmetry, then it also possesses a hidden symmetry represented by the linear operator C. The operator C commutes with both H and PT. The inner product with respect to…

Let $\gH$ be a Hilbert space and let $A$ be a simple symmetric operator in $\gH$ with equal deficiency indices $d:=n_\pm(A)<\infty$. We show that if, for all $\l$ in an open interval $I\subset\bR$, the dimension of defect subspaces…

The techniques developed by Popescu, Muhly-Solel and Good for the study of algebras generated by weighted shifts are applied to generalize results of Sarkar and of Bhattacharjee-Eschmeier-Keshari-Sarkar concerning dilations and invariant…

For a self-adjoint unbounded operator D on a Hilbert space H, a bounded operator y on H and some complex Borel functions g(t) we establish inequalities of the type ||[g(D),y]|| \leq A|||y|| + B||[D,y]|| + ...+ X|[D, [D,...[D, y]...]]||. The…

Let $H$ be a complex separable Hilbert space and $B(H)$ the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H$. In this paper, we give considerable generalizations of the inequalities for norms of commutators of normal operators. Let $S, T \in…

A classical result of Sz.-Nagy asserts that a Hilbert space contraction operator $T$ can be dilated to a unitary $\cU$. A more general multivariable setting for these ideas is the setup where (i) the unit disk is replaced by a domain…

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…

The main result of the paper is an extension of the Dirichlet problem from (closures of) bounded open domains U to arbitrary compact subsets X of the complex plane, i.e. the closure of the corresponding space of functions which are harmonic…

Assuming a unitarily invariant norm $|||\cdot|||$ is given on a two-sided ideal of bounded linear operators acting on a separable Hilbert space, it induces some unitarily invariant norms $|||\cdot|||$ on matrix algebras $\mathcal{M}_n$ for…

Let $ n\geq 2, A=(a_{ij})_{i,j=1}^{n}$ be a real symmetric matrix, $a=(a_i)_{i=1}^{n}\in \Bbb R^n.$ Consider the differential operator $D_A = \sum_{i,j=1}^n a_{ij}{\partial^2 \over \partial x_i \partial x_j}+ \sum_{i=1}^n a_i{\partial \over…

Covering ill-posed problems with compact and non-compact operators regarding the degree of ill-posedness is a never ending story written by many authors in the inverse problems literature. This paper tries to add a new narrative and some…
