Let $A$ be a positive operator on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ with $0<m\leq A\leq M$ and $X$ and $Y$ are two isometries on $\mathcal{H}$ such that $X^{*}Y=0$. For every 2-positive linear map $\Phi$, define…

In his monograph on Infinite Abelian Groups, I. Kaplansky raised three ``test problems" concerning their structure and multiplicity. As noted by Azoff, these problems make sense for any category admitting a direct sum operation. Here, we…

This is a continuation of our previous paper. We consider a certain order-like relation for positive operators on a Hilbert space. This relation is defined by using the Jensen inequality with respect to the square-root function. We show…

It is shown using Schur complement techniques that on finite dimensional Hilbert spaces, a non-negative operator valued trigonometric polynomial in two variables with degree $(d_1,d_2)$ can be written as a finite sum of hermitian squares of…

We consider a positive operator $A$ on a Hilbert lattice such that its self-commutator $C = A^* A - A A^*$ is positive. If $A$ is also idempotent, then it is an orthogonal projection, and so $C = 0$. Similarly, if $A$ is power compact, then…

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…

Several unitarily invariant norm inequalities and numerical radius inequalities for Hilbert space operators are studied. We investigate some necessary and sufficient conditions for the parallelism of two bounded operators. For a finite rank…

The goal of this paper is to develop the theory of Schur complementation in the context of operators acting on anti-dual pairs. As a byproduct, we obtain a natural generalization of the parallel sum and parallel difference, as well as the…

For a sequence $\mathbf w = \{w_j\}_{j = 2}^\infty$ of positive real numbers, consider the positive semi-definite kernel $\kappa_{\mathbf w}(s, u) = \sum_{j = 2}^\infty w_j j^{-s - \overline{u}}$ defined on some right-half plane $\mathbb…
