This article describes Hilbert spaces contractively contained in certain reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of analytic functions on the open unit disc which are nearly invariant under division by an inner function. We extend Hitt's theorem…

This paper is a follow-up contribution to our work [20] where we discussed some invariant subspace results for contractions on Hilbert spaces. Here we extend the results of [20] to the context of n-tuples of bounded linear operators on…

This note records some dilation theorems about contraction semigroups on a Hilbert space - all of which fall into the categories "known" or "probably known" - that I proved while working on my PhD in mathematics (under the supervision of…

A contractive condition is addressed for extended 2-cyclic self-mappings on the union of a finite number of subsets of a metric space which are allowed to have a finite number of successive images in the same subsets of its domain. It is…

For a class C of operations on a nonempty base set A, an operation f is called a C-subfunction of an operation g, if f = g(h_1, ..., h_n), where all the inner functions h_i are members of C. Two operations are C-equivalent if they are…

S. Gudder and, later, S. Pulmanova and E. Vincekova, have studied in two recent papers a certain ordering of bounded self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space. We present some further results on this ordering and show that some structure…

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…

The category of Hilbert spaces and contractions has filtered colimits, and tensoring preserves them. We also discuss (problems with) bounded maps.

The class of O-metric spaces generalize several existing metric-types in literature including metric spaces, b-metric spaces, and ultra metric spaces. In this paper, we discuss the properties of the topology induced by an O-metric and…

In this short note we present a far generalization of the following very well-known assertion: assume that we have two orthonormal sequences in a Hilbert space and these sequences are quadratically close to each other. Then if one of these…

We develop a theory of ordered *-vector spaces with an order unit. We prove fundamental results concerning positive linear functionals and states, and we show that the order (semi)norm on the space of self-adjoint elements admits multiple…

The purpose of the paper is to obtain estimates for differences of functions of two pairs of commuting contractions on Hilbert space. In particular, Lipschitz type estimates, H\"older type estimates, Schatten--von Neumann estimates are…

We show that the unitary conjugacy relation for unitary representations of a second countable locally compact group on a separable Hilbert space is a Borel equivalence relation.

This article introduces Hilbert $*$-categories: an abstraction of categories with similar algebraic and analytic properties to the categories of real, complex, and quaternionic Hilbert spaces and bounded linear maps. Other examples include…

This article introduces pre-Hilbert $*$-categories: an abstraction of categories exhibiting "algebraic" aspects of Hilbert-space theory. Notably, finite biproducts in pre-Hilbert $*$-categories can be orthogonalised using the Gram-Schmidt…

A canonical model, analogous to the one for contraction operators, is introduced for bi-isometries, two commuting isometries on a Hilbert space. This model involves a contractive analytic operator-valued function on the unit disk. Various…

We show that in the category of preordered sets, there is a natural notion of pretorsion theory, in which the partially ordered sets are the torsion-free objects and the sets endowed with an equivalence relation are the torsion objects.…

In this paper, we extend the notion of orthogonality to the general elements of an absolute matrix order unit space and relate it to the orthogonality among positive elements. We introduce the notion of a partial isometry in an absolute…

Two first-order logic theories are definitionally equivalent if and only if there is a bijection between their model classes that preserves isomorphisms and ultraproducts (Theorem 2). This is a variant of a prior theorem of van Benthem and…

We establish a new set of pointwise inequalities that order curvature invariants across various Petrov and Segre types of spacetimes. In arbitrary spacetime dimension, we systematically analyze inequalities among contractions of the Ricci…
