We introduce a notion of joint spectrum for a tuple of compact operators on a separable Hilbert space and show that in many situations these operators commute if and only if the joint spectrum consists of countably many, locally finite,…

We construct three different families of commuting pairs of subnormal operators, jointly hyponormal but not admitting commuting normal extensions. Each such family can be used to answer in the negative a 1988 conjecture of R. Curto, P.…

Recently, Hartz proved that every commuting contractive classical multishift with non-zero weights satisfies the matrix-version of von Neumann's inequality. We show that this result does not extend to the class of commuting operator-valued…

We show that for every finite subgroup $G$ of $Aut(F_n)$, the fixed point subcomplex $X_n^G$ is contractible, where $F_n$ is the free group on $n$ letters and $X_n$ is the spine of ``auter space'' constructed by Hatcher and Vogtmann. In…

We prove that if $0<\a<1$ and $f$ is in the H\"older class $\L_\a(\R)$, then for arbitrary self-adjoint operators $A$ and $B$ with bounded $A-B$, the operator $f(A)-f(B)$ is bounded and $\|f(A)-f(B)\|\le\const\|A-B\|^\a$. We prove a similar…

Let $\Lambda$ be a complete metric space, and let $\{S_\lambda(\cdot):\ \lambda\in\Lambda\}$ be a parametrised family of semigroups with global attractors ${\mathscr A}_\lambda$. We assume that there exists a fixed bounded set $D$ such that…

A pair of commuting operators $(S,P)$ defined on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ for which the closed symmetrized bidisc $$ \Gamma= \{(z_1+z_2,z_1z_2):: |z_1|\leq 1,\, |z_2|\leq 1 \}\subseteq \mathbb C^2, $$ is a spectral set is called a…

A family of random matrices is said to converge strongly to a limiting family of operators if the operator norm of every noncommutative polynomial of the matrices converges to that of the limiting operators. Recent developments surrounding…

Parametric factorizations of linear partial operators on the plane are considered for operators of orders two, three and four. The operators are assumed to have a completely factorable symbol. It is proved that ``irreducible'' parametric…

In $T_1$ compact topological spaces the Hutchinson operator of a contractive IFS (iterated function system; a finite family of closed mappings from the space into itself) may not be closed. Nevertheless, the Hutchinson operator of a…

Let $K \subset {\mathbb R}^n$ be a compact definable set in an o-minimal structure over $\mathbb R$, e.g., a semi-algebraic or a subanalytic set. A definable family $\{ S_\delta|\> 0< \delta \in {\mathbb R} \}$ of compact subsets of $K$, is…

Mubayi's Conjecture states that if $\mathcal{F}$ is a family of $k$-sized subsets of $[n] = \{1,\ldots,n\}$ which, for $k \geq d \geq 2$, satisfies $A_1 \cap\cdots\cap A_d \neq \emptyset$ whenever $|A_1 \cup\cdots\cup A_d| \leq 2k$ for all…

In this paper, we first introduce and study the notion of random Chebyshev centers. Further, based on the recently developed theory of stable sets, we introduce the notion of random complete normal structure so that we can prove the two…

In this paper, we further investigate the problem of commutativity up to a factor (or $\lambda$-commutativity) in the setting of bounded and unbounded linear operators in a complex Hilbert space. The results are based on a new approach to…

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…

We introduce a weak asymptotic version of nonlinear contraction, termed \emph{asymptotic pointwise contraction}. For a mapping on a metric space, this notion requires the existence of a sequence of functions that dominate the distances…

A commuting pair of operators (S, P) on a Hilbert space H is said to be a Gamma-contraction if the symmetrized bidisc is a spectral set of the tuple (S, P). In this paper we develop some operator theory inspired by Agler and Young's results…

A distributed algorithm is described for finding a common fixed point of a family of $m>1$ nonlinear maps $M_i : \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$ assuming that each map is a paracontraction and that such a common fixed point exists.…

We study the commutation relations and normal ordering between families of operators on symmetric functions. These operators can be naturally defined by the operations of multiplication, Kronecker product, and their adjoints. As…

A triple of commuting operators for which the closed tetrablock $\overline{\mathbb E}$ is a spectral set is called a tetrablock contraction or an $\mathbb E$-contraction. The set $\mathbb E$ is defined as \[ \mathbb E = \{…
