The paper is devoted to a development of the theory of self-adjoint operators in Krein spaces (J-self-adjoint operators) involving some additional properties arising from the existence of C-symmetries. The main attention is paid to the…

Let $S_{E}$ be the shift operator on vector-valued Hardy space $H_{E}^{2}.$ Beurling-Lax-Halmos Theorem identifies the invariant subspaces of $S_{E}$ and hence also the invariant subspaces of the backward shift $S_{E}^{\ast}.$ In this…

We show that finitely subgraded Lie algebras of compact operators have invariant subspaces when conditions of quasinilpotence are imposed on certain components of the subgrading. This allows us to obtain some useful information about the…

In this paper we show that a composition operator $C_\varphi$ cannot be complex symmetric on Hardy-Hilbert space $H^2(D)$ when $\varphi$ is an elliptic automorphism of order $3$ and not a rotation. This completes the project of finding all…

The operator space analogue of the {\em strong form} of the principle of local reflexivity is shown to hold for any von Neumann algebra predual, and thus for any $C^{*}$-algebraic dual. This is in striking contrast to the situation for…

We derive the supersqueeze operator for the supersymmetric harmonic oscillator, using Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff relations for the supergroup OSP(2/2). Combining this with the previously obtained superdisplacement operator, we derive the…

We say that an operator $T \in B(H)$ is complex symmetric if there exists a conjugate-linear, isometric involution $C:H\to H$ so that $T = CT^*C$. We prove that binormal operators, operators that are algebraic of degree two (including all…

This paper aims to study reducible and irreducible approximation in the set $\textsl{CSO}$ of all complex symmetric operators on a separable, complex Hilbert space $\mathcal H$. When ${\rm dim} \mathcal H=\infty$, it is proved that both…

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.…

The space of differential operators acting on skewsymmetric tensor fields or on smooth forms of a smooth manifold are representations of its Lie algebra of vector fields. We compute the first cohomology spaces of these representations and…

We present some 2-isometric lifting and extension results for Hilbert space concave operators. For a special class of concave operators we study their Cauchy dual operators and discuss conditions under which these operators are subnormal.…

On a reflexive Banach space $X$, if an operator $T$ admits a functional calculus for the absolutely continuous functions on its spectrum $\sigma(T) \subseteq \mathbb{R}$, then this functional calculus can always be extended to include all…

We consider operators $L$ acting on functions on a Riemannian surface, $\Sigma$, of the form $L = \Delta + V +a K.$ Here $\Delta$ is the Laplacian of $\Sigma$, $V$ a non-negative potential on $\Sigma$, K the Gaussian curvature and $a$ is a…

We introduce the concept of a \mu-scale invariant operator with respect to unitary transformation in a separable complex Hilbert space. We show that if a nonnegative densely defined symmetric operator is \mu-scale invariant for some \mu >0,…

In this paper, we prove that every completely contractive dual Banach algebra is completely isometric to a $w^\ast$-closed subalgebra the operator space of completely bounded linear operators on some reflexive operator space.

Let $Z$ be a fixed separable operator space, $X\subset Y$ general separable operator spaces, and $T:X\to Z$ a completely bounded map. $Z$ is said to have the Complete Separable Extension Property (CSEP) if every such map admits a completely…

We introduce the notion of C-orbit reflexivity and study its properties. An operator on a finite-dimensional space is C-orbit reflexive if and only if the two largest blocks in its Jordan form corresponding to nonzero eigenvalues with the…

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 a contractible subshift. This is a strengthening of the notion of strong irreducibility, where we require that the gluings are given by a block map. We show that a subshift is a retract of a full shift if and only…

An operator $T \in B(\h)$ is complex symmetric if there exists a conjugate-linear, isometric involution $C:\h\to\h$ so that $T = CT^*C$. We provide a concrete description of all complex symmetric partial isometries. In particular, we prove…
