Suppose $\Cal J$ is a two-sided quasi-Banach ideal of compact operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $\Cal H$. We show that an operator $T\in\Cal J$ can be expressed as finite linear combination of commutators $[A,B]$…

Let $(X, d, \mu)$ be a space of homogeneous type and $\Omega$ an open subset of $X$. Given a bounded operator $T: L^p(\Omega) \to L^q(\Omega)$ for some $1 \le p \le q < \infty$, we give a criterion for $T$ to be of weak type $(p_0, a)$ for…

We provide sufficient conditions under which the difference of the resolvents of two higher-order operators acting in $\R^N$ belongs to trace classes $\cC^p$. We provide explicit estimates on the norm of the resolvent difference in terms of…

In this paper we give criteria on integral kernels ensuring that integral operators on compact manifolds belong to Schatten classes. A specific test for nuclearity is established as well as the corresponding trace formulae. In the special…

We consider pairs of operators $A,B\in B(H)$, where $H$ is a Hilbert space, such that there exist a linear isometry $f$ from the span of $\{A,B\}$ into $\mathbb{C}^2$ mapping $A,B$ into orthonormal vectors. We prove some necessary…

In the program to classify C$^*$-algebras, it is very important to find abstract conditions which are sufficient to imply that a given algebra has tracial rank zero, in the sense of Huaxin Lin. Even in the presence of a unique trace, we…

Let s 1 ,. .. , s k be the elementary symmetric functions of the complex variables x 1 ,. .. , x k. We say that F $\in$ C[s 1 ,. .. , s k ] is a trace function if their exists f $\in$ C[z] such that F (s 1 ,. .. , s k ] = k j=1 f (x j) for…

We introduce a class of left ideals (and subalgebras) of nest algebras determined by totally ordered families of partial isometries on a complex Hilbert space $H$. Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a family of partial isometries that is totally ordered…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for an operator on a separable Hilbert space to satisfy the hypercyclicity criterion.

It is known that if $T$ is a contraction of class $C_{10}$ and $I-T^\ast T$ is of trace class, then $T$ is a quasiaffine transform of a unilateral shift. Also it is known that if the multiplicity of a unilateral shift is infinite, the…

Let $(\operatorname{X},\operatorname{d},\mu)$ be a metric measure space with uniformly locally doubling measure $\mu$. Given $p \in (1,\infty)$, assume that $(\operatorname{X},\operatorname{d},\mu)$ supports a weak local $(1,p)$-Poincar\'e…

We prove a T(1) Theorem to completely characterize compactness of Calderon-Zygmund operators. The result provides sufficient and necessary conditions for the compactness of singular integral operators acting on L^p(R).

An important result on submajorization, which goes back to Hardy, Littlewood and P\'olya, states that $b\preceq a$ if and only if there is a doubly stochastic matrix $A$ such that $b=Aa$. We prove that under monotonicity assumptions on…

Let $T$ be a polynomially bounded operator, and let $\mathcal M$ be its invariant subspace. Suppose that $P_{\mathcal M^\perp}T|_{\mathcal M^\perp}$ is similar to a contraction, while $\theta(T|_{\mathcal M})=0$, where $\theta$ is a finite…

In this paper we give sufficient conditions on $\alpha \geq 0$ and $c\in \mathbb{R}$ ensuring that the space of test functions $C_c^\infty(\mathbb{R}^N)$ is a core for the operator $$L_0u=(1+|x|^\alpha )\Delta…

Our main result is a theorem saying that a bounded operator $A$ on a Hilbert space belongs to a certain set associated with its self-commutator $[A^*,A]$, provided that $A-zI$ can be approximated by invertible operators for all complex…

Let $I \subset \mathbb C[z_1,...,z_d]$ be a radical homogeneous ideal, and let $\mathcal A_I$ be the norm-closed non-selfadjoint algebra generated by the compressions of the $d$-shift on Drury-Arveson space $H^2_d$ to the co-invariant…

Let $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ be open and $D\subseteq \partial\Omega$ be a closed part of its boundary. Under very mild assumptions on $\Omega$, we construct a bounded Sobolev extension operator for the Sobolev space $\mathrm{W}^{k ,…

In this note, we answer a question raised by Johnson and Schechtman \cite{JS}, about the hypercontractive semigroup on $\{-1,1\}^{\NN}$. More generally, we prove the folllowing theorem. Let $1<p<2$. Let $(T(t))_{t>0}$ be a holomorphic…
