An arbitrary linear relation (multivalued operator) acting from one Hilbert space to another Hilbert space is shown to be the sum of a closable operator and a singular relation whose closure is the Cartesian product of closed subspaces.…
This work is concerned with the convex analysis of functions defined on (not necessarily finite-dimensional) Hilbert spaces whose values depend solely on a certain ``spectrum'' of the arguments, a class we term ``spectral functions.'' We…
We consider Schr\"odinger operators with complex-valued decreasing potentials on the half-line. Such operator has essential spectrum on the half-line plus eigenvalues (counted with algebraic multiplicity) in the complex plane without the…
This paper is a detailed study of finite-dimensional modules defined on bicomplex numbers. A number of results are proved on bicomplex square matrices, linear operators, orthogonal bases, self-adjoint operators and Hilbert spaces, including…
The eigenvalues of a self-adjoint nxn matrix A can be put into a decreasing sequence $\lambda=(\lambda_1,...,\lambda_n)$, with repetitions according to multiplicity, and the diagonal of A is a point of $R^n$ that bears some relation to…
We study the trace functions in orbiford theory for Z-graded vertex operator superalgebras and obtain a modular invariance result. More precisely, let V be a C_2-cofinite Z-graded vertex operator superalgebra and G a finite automorphism…
We prove that for every semigroup of Schwarz maps on the von~Neumann algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space which has a subinvariant faithful normal state there exists an associated semigroup of contractions on the space…
We study several trace operators and spaces that are related to the bi-Laplacian. They are motivated by the development of ultraweak formulations for the bi-Laplace equation with homogeneous Dirichlet condition, but are also relevant to…
This paper addresses a conjecture of Kadison and Kastler that a von Neumann algebra M on a Hilbert space H should be unitarily equivalent to each sufficiently close von Neumann algebra N and, moreover, the implementing unitary can be chosen…
We derive a necessary condition for compactness of the weighted $\overline\partial$-Neumann operator on the space $L^2(\mathbb C^n,e^{-\varphi})$, under the assumption that the corresponding weighted Bergman space of entire functions has…
We show that any finite dimensional von Neumann algebra admits an orthonormal unitary basis with respect to its standard trace. We also show that a finite dimensional von Neumann subalgebra of $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ admits an orthonormal unitary…
An operator $T$ on a Banach space is said to be of chain $N$ if there exist non-scalar operators $S_1,...,S_{N-1}$ and a non-zero compact $K$ such that $$T \leftrightarrow S_1 \leftrightarrow S_2 \leftrightarrow ...\leftrightarrow S_{N-1}…
Every unital nonselfadjoint operator algebra possesses canonical and functorial classes of faithful (even completely isometric) Hilbert space representations satisfying a double commutant theorem generalizing von Neumann's classical result.…
Some new trace inequalities for operators in Hilbert spaces are provided. The superadditivity and monotonicity of some associated functionals are investigated and applications for power series of such operators are given. Some trace…
Let $M$ be a von Neumann algebra equipped with a normal semi-finite faithful trace (nsf trace in short) and let $T\colon M\to M$ be a contraction. We say that $T$ is absolutely dilatable if there exist another von Neumann algebra $M'$…
An operator algebra $\mathcal{A}$ acting on a Hilbert space is said to have the closability property if every densely defined linear transformation commuting with $\mathcal{A}$ is closable. In this paper we study the closability property of…
We introduce a version of logic for metric structures suitable for applications to C*-algebras and tracial von Neumann algebras. We also prove a purely model-theoretic result to the effect that the theory of a separable metric structure is…
We consider the operator algebra $\mathscr A$ on $\mathscr S(\mathbb R^n)$ generated by the Shubin type pseudodifferential operators, the Heisenberg-Weyl operators and the lifts of the unitary operators on $\mathbb C^n$ to metaplectic…
A general fixed point theorem for isometries in terms of metric functionals is proved under the assumption of the existence of a conical bicombing. It is new even for isometries of Banach spaces as well as for non-locally compact…
In this paper, we develop the theory of bimodules over von Neumann algebras, with an emphasis on categorical aspects. We clarify the relationship between dualizability and finite index. We also show that, for von Neumann algebras with…
