We answer a question raised by Auslander and Bridger by showing that not every 2-reflexive module is reflexive.

In this paper we study two different weighted isoperimetric inequalities. In the first part of the paper we prove a sharp stability result for the isoperimetric inequality with a log-convex weight. In the second part we analize the behavior…

An $n$-tuple of operators $(V_1,...,V_n)$ acting on a Hilbert space $H$ is said to be isometric if the row operator $(V_1,...,V_n) : H^n \to H$ is an isometry. We prove that every isometric $n$-tuple is hyperreflexive, in the sense of…

The Ehrhart function $L_P(t)$ of a polytope $P$ is usually defined only for integer dilation arguments $t$. By allowing arbitrary real numbers as arguments we may also detect integer points entering (or leaving) the polytope in fractional…

The subspaces and subalgebras of B(H) which are hyperreflexive with constant 1 are completely classified. It is shown that there are 1-hyperreflexive subspaces for which the complete hyperreflexivity constant is strictly greater than 1. The…

Let $n>1$ and let $\{U_{ij}\}_{1\leq i<j\leq n}$ be $n\choose 2$ commuting unitaries on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. Suppose $U_{ji}:=U^*_{ij}$, $1\leq i<j\leq n$. An n-tuple of power partial isometries $(V_1,...,V_n)$ on Hilbert space…

Let $f$ be a $r\times m$-matrix of holomorphic functions that is generically surjective. We provide explicit integral representation of holomorphic $\psi$ such that $\phi=f\psi$, provided that $\phi$ is holomorphic and annihilates a certain…

In this paper, we investigate when a rank-one perturbation of a $2$-isometry remains a $2$-isometry. As an application, we identify several classes of $2$-isometries on function spaces.

In this paper we obtain a complete characterization of reducing, invariant, and hyperinvariant subspaces for the completely non-unitary component of a power partial isometry. In particular, precise characterization of reducing, invariant,…

In this paper we study the isometric rigidity of certain classes of metric spaces with respect to the $p$-Wasserstein space. We prove that spaces that split a separable Hilbert space are not isometrically rigid with respect to…

We show that ||u*u - v*v|| \leq ||u - v|| for partial isometries u and v. There is a stronger inequality if both u and v are extreme points of the unit ball of a C*-algebra, and both inequalities are sharp. If u and v are partial isometries…

We present a short and self-contained proof of the extension property for partial isometries of the class of all finite metric spaces.

A result of Beauville states that with a few positive characterstic exceptions, the smooth hyperplane sections of hypersurfaces of degree $d>2$ in projective space are not all isomorphic. We address the question of whether these sections…

We establish the existence of the symmetric power liftings of all holomorphic Hecke eigenforms.

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a von Neumann algebra, and let $0<p,q\le\infty$. Then the space $\Hom_\mathcal{M}(L^p(\mathcal{M}),L^q(\mathcal{M}))$ of all right $\mathcal{M}$-module homomorphisms from $L^p(\mathcal{M})$ to $L^q(\mathcal{M})$ is a…

We consider the Casimir interaction between (non-magnetic) dielectric bodies or conductors. Our main result is a proof that the Casimir force between two bodies related by reflection is always attractive, independent of the exact form of…

We show that the Casimir force between mirrors with arbitrary frequency dependent reflectivities obeys bounds due to causality and passivity properties. The force is always smaller than the Casimir force between two perfectly reflecting…

In a previous paper \cite{Itskov-MoSM} we presented a hyperelastic isotropic material model whose stress-strain response is nonlinear even at infinitesimal deformations and cannot thus be linearized. As a result values of Poisson's ratio…

Both theoretical interest and practical significance attach to the sign and strength of Casimir forces. A famous, discouraging no-go theorem states that "The Casimir force between two bodies with reflection symmetry is always attractive."…
