We study positive bilinear forms on a Hilbert space which are neither not necessarily bounded nor induced by some positive operator. We show when different families of bilinear forms can be described as a generalized effect algebra. In…
Let H be a complex infinite dimensional Hilbert space. We describe the form of all *-semigroup endomorphisms $\phi$ of B(H) which are uniformly continuous on every commutative C*-subalgebra. In particular, we obtain that if $\phi$ satisfies…
Universal continuous calculi are defined and it is shown that for every finite tuple of pairwise commuting Hermitian elements of a Su*-algebra (an ordered *-algebra that is symmetric, i.e. "strictly" positive elements are invertible, and…
We develop the theory of subproduct systems over the monoid $\mathbb{N}\times \mathbb{N}$, and the non-self-adjoint operator algebras associated with them. These are double sequences of Hilbert spaces $\{X(m,n)\}_{m,n=0}^\infty$ equipped…
Consider the multidimensional Bessel operator $$B f(x) = -\sum_{j=1}^N \left(\partial_j^2 f(x) +\frac{\alpha_j}{x_j} \partial_j f(x)\right), \quad x\in(0,\infty)^N. $$ Let $d = \sum_{j=1}^N \max(1,\alpha_j+1)$ be the homogeneous dimension…
Based on the success of a well-known method for solving higher order linear differential equations, a study of two of the most important mathematical features of that method, viz. the null spaces and commutativity of the product of…
For a set $X\sbst\R$, let $B(X)\sbst\R^X$ denote the space of Borel real-valued functions on $X$, with the topology inherited from the Tychonoff product $\R^X$. Assume that for each countable $A\sbst B(X)$, each $f$ in the closure of $A$ is…
The set of matrix tuples with invariant subspaces whose dimensions sum up to the dimension of the space, but which do not span the whole space form an algebraic hypersurface. We found the equation of this hypersurface. This generalizes…
We introduce the notion of characteristic functions for commuting tuples of hypercontractions on Hilbert spaces, as a generalization of the notion of Sz.-Nagy and Foias characteristic functions of contractions. We present an explicit method…
The article addresses the problem whether indefinite double sums involving a generic sequence can be simplified in terms of indefinite single sums. Depending on the structure of the double sum, the proposed summation machinery may provide…
We examine convergent representations for the sum of Bessel functions \[\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{J_\mu(na) J_\nu(nb)}{n^{\alpha}}\] for $\mu$, $\nu\geq0$ and positive values of $a$ and $b$. Such representations enable easy computation of the…
In this paper a necessary and sufficient condition is deduced for the close-to-convexity of a cross product of Bessel and modified Bessel functions of the first kind and their derivatives by using a result of Shah and Trimble about…
We show that the Christensen-Sinclair factorization theorem, when the underlying Hilbert spaces are finite dimensional, is an instance of strong duality of semidefinite programming. This gives an elementary proof of the result and also…
We prove existence in the Minkowski space of entire spacelike hypersurfaces with constant negative scalar curvature and given set of lightlike directions at infinity; we also construct the entire scalar curvature flow with prescribed set of…
A celebrated result by Hilbert says that every real nonnegative ternary quartic is a sum of three squares. We show more generally that every nonnegative quadratic form on a real projective variety $X$ of minimal degree is a sum of…
We embed the somewhat unusual multiplicative function, which was serendipitously discovered in 2010 during a study of mutually unbiased bases in the Hilbert space of quantum physics, into two families of multiplicative functions that we…
We generalize Sylvester single sums to multisets (sets with repeated elements), and show that these sums compute subresultants of two univariate polyomials as a function of their roots independently of their multiplicity structure. This is…
Let $\{u_{n}\}_{n \geq 0}$ be a non-degenerate binary recurrence sequence with positive discriminant. In this paper, we consider the Diophantine equation $u_m + u_n = a_1 n_1! + \cdots + a_k n_k!$ and prove that there are only finitely many…
Uncountably many mutually non-isomorphic product systems (that is, continuous tensor products of Hilbert spaces) of types II-0 and III are constructed by probabilistic means (random sets and off-white noises), answering four questions of W.…
I discuss a formula decomposing the integral of time-ordered products of operators into sums of products of integrals of time-ordered commutators. The resulting factorization enables summation of an infinite series to be carried out to…
