In this paper, using the recently discovered notion of the $S$-spectrum, we prove the spectral theorem for a bounded or unbounded normal operator on a Clifford module (i.e., a two-sided Hilbert module over a Clifford algebra based on units…

Let $A^2$ be the Bergman space on the unit disk. A bounded operator $S$ on $A^2$ is called radial if $Sz^n = \lambda_n z^n$ for all $n\ge 0$, where $\lambda_n$ is a bounded sequence of complex numbers. We characterize the eigenvalues of…

In this article we consider means of positive bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space. We present a complete theory that provides a framework which extends the theory of the Karcher mean, its approximating matrix power means, and a…

Assume that $A$ is a closed linear operator defined on all of a Hilbert space $H$. Then $A$ is bounded. A new short proof of this classical theorem is given on the basis of the uniform boundedness principle. The proof can be easily extended…

We show that positive absolutely norm attaining operators can be characterized by a simple property of their spectra. This result clarifies and simplifies a result of Ramesh. As an application we characterize weighted shift operators which…

In \cite{Os} a general spectral approximation theory was developed for compact operators on a Banach space which does not require that the operators be self-adjoint and also provides a first order correction term. Here we extend some of the…

We study different operator radii of homomorphisms from an operator algebra into $B(H)$ and show that these can be computed explicitly in terms of the usual norm. As an application, we show that if $\Omega$ is a $K$-spectral set for a…

We consider the spectral radius of a large random matrix $X$ with independent, identically distributed entries. We show that its typical size is given by a precise three-term asymptotics with an optimal error term beyond the radius of the…

Generalized indefinite strings provide a canonical model for self-adjoint operators with simple spectrum (other classical models are Jacobi matrices, Krein strings and 2x2 canonical systems). We prove a number of Szeg\H{o}-type theorems for…

Nonlinearities in finite dimensions can be linearized by projecting them into infinite dimensions. Unfortunately, often the linear operator techniques that one would then use simply fail since the operators cannot be diagonalized. This…

We prove the long standing conjecture in the theory of two-point boundary value problems that completeness and Dunford's spectrality imply Birkhoff regularity. In addition we establish the even order part of S.G.Krein's conjecture that…

The famous Lomonosov's invariant subspace theorem states that if a continuous linear operator T on an infinite-dimensional normed space E "commutes" with a compact nonzero operator K, i.e., TK=KT, then T has a non-trivial closed invariant…

We consider standard subordinacy theory for general Sturm--Liouville operators and give criteria when boundedness of solutions implies that no subordinate solutions exist. As applications, we prove a Weidmann-type result for general…

In this paper we introduce a notion of scattering theory for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on non-compact, connected and complete Riemannian manifolds. A principal condition is given by a certain positive lower bound of the second…

In the first part of our paper we analyze bisolutions and inverses of (non-autonomous) evolution equations. We are mostly interested in pseudo-unitary evolutions on Krein spaces, which naturally arise in linear Quantum Field Theory. We…

A generalized Kochen-Specker theorem is proved. It is shown that there exist sets of $n$ projection operators, representing $n$ yes-no questions about a quantum system, such that none of the $2^n$ possible answers is compatible with sum…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for real sequences to be the spectra of selfadjoint extensions of an entire operator whose domain may be non-dense. For this spectral characterization we use de Branges space techniques and a…

A special class of generalized Jacobi operators which are self-adjoint in Krein spaces is presented. A description of the resolvent set of such operators in terms of solutions of the corresponding recurrence relations is given. In…

The Kerzman-Stein operator is the skew-hermitian part of the Cauchy operator defined with respect to an unweighted hermitian inner product on a rectifiable curve. If the curve is continuously differentiable, the Kerzman-Stein operator is…

Let $T$ denote a positive operator with spectral radius $1$ on, say, an $L^p$-space. A classical result in infinite dimensional Perron--Frobenius theory says that, if $T$ is irreducible and power bounded, then its peripheral point spectrum…
