Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a semifinite von Neumann algebra and let $E$ be a symmetric function space on $(0,\infty)$. Denote by $E(\mathcal{M})$ the non-commutative symmetric space of measurable operators affiliated with $\mathcal{M}$ and…

We extend some of the results of Agler, Knese, and McCarthy [1] to $n$-tuples of commuting isometries for $n>2$. Let $\mathbb{V}=(V_1,\dots,V_n)$ be an $n$-tuple of a commuting isometries on a Hilbert space and let Ann$(\mathbb{V})$ denote…

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…

An operator $T$ on a Hilbert space is called half-centered if the sequence $T^{*}T,(T^{*})^{2}T^{2},...$ consists of mutually commuting operators. It is a subclass of the well-studied centered operators. In this paper we give a condition…

Given a contraction A on a Hilbert space H, an operator T on H is said to be A-invariant if <Tx,x>=<TAx,Ax> for every x in H such that ||Ax||=||x||. In the special case in which both defect indices of A are equal to 1, we show that every…

We introduce the notion of joint torsion for several commuting operators satisfying a Fredholm condition. This new secondary invariant takes values in the group of invertibles of a field. It is constructed by comparing determinants…

A tuple $\underline{T}=(T_1, \dotsc, T_k)$ of operators on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ is said to be \textit{$q$-commuting with} $\|q\|=1$ or simply $q$-\textit{commuting} if there is a family of scalars $q=\{q_{ij} \in \mathbb C :…

In the setting of operators on Hilbert spaces, we prove that every quasinilpotent operator has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace if and only if every pair of idempotents with a quasinilpotent commutator has a non-trivial common closed…

Let $T\colon H\to H$ be a bounded operator on Hilbert space. We say that $T$ has a polygonal type if there exists an open convex polygon $\Delta\subset {\mathbb D}$, with $\overline{\Delta}\cap{\mathbb T}\neq\emptyset$, such that the…

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 $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space and $B(H)$ the C*-algebra of bounded operators on $H.$ Suppose that $T_1,T_2,..., T_n$ are self-adjoint operators in $B(H).$ We show that, if commutators $[T_i, T_j]$ are…

Let $A$ be a bounded, injective and self-adjoint linear operator on a complex separable Hilbert space. We prove that there is a pure isometry, $V$, so that $AV>0$ and $A$ is Hankel with respect to $V$, i.e. $V^*A = AV$, if and only if $A$…

Recent work in Dynamical Sampling has been centered on characterizing frames obtained by the orbit of a vector under a bounded operator. We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for a pair of bounded commuting operators on a separable…

An operator $T$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ is called expansive, if $\|Tx\|\geq \|x\|$ ($x\in\mathcal H$). Expansive operators $T$ quasisimilar to the unilateral shift $S_N$ of finite multiplicity $N$ are studied. It is proved that…

We provide a description of the Shilov boundary of the classical Cartan domain in terms of Jordan triple determinant. As a consequence, we obtained an intrinsic characterization of Cartan isometries. Further, we obtain (i) invariance of…

We give sufficient conditions on a function invariant under the action of an isometry group to be Branson's Q-curvature of a metric in a given conformal class, using the conformal GJMS operators.

We consider symmetry operators a from the group ring C[S_N] which act on the Hilbert space H of the 1D spin-1/2 Heisenberg magnetic ring with N sites. We investigate such symmetry operators a which are self-adjoint (in a sence defined in…

There exist several interesting results in the literature on subnormal operator tuples having their spectral properties tied to the geometry of strictly pseudoconvex domains or to that of bounded symmetric domains in $\C^n$. We introduce a…

Let $\A$ and $\B$ be operator algebras with $c_0$-isomorphic diagonals and let $\K$ denote the compact operators. We show that if $\A\otimes\K$ and $\B\otimes\K$ are isometrically isomorphic, then $\A$ and $\B$ are isometrically isomorphic.…

For commuting linear operators $P_0,P_1,..., P_\ell$ we describe a range of conditions which are weaker than invertibility. When any of these conditions hold we may study the composition $P=P_0P_1... P_\ell$ in terms of the component…
