Let a compact Lie group act ergodically on a unital $C^*$-algebra $A$. We consider several ways of using this structure to define metrics on the state space of $A$. These ways involve length functions, norms on the Lie algebra, and Dirac…

Each symmetrically-normed ideal $\mathcal{I}$ of compact operators on a Hilbert space $H$ induces a multiplier topology $\mu^*_{\mathcal{I}}$ on the algebra $\mathcal{B}(H)$ of bounded operators. We show that under fairly reasonable…

Researchers have identified complex matrices $A$ such that a bounded linear operator $B$ acting on a Hilbert space will admit a dilation of the form $A \otimes I$ whenever the numerical range inclusion relation $W(B) \subseteq W(A)$ holds.…

We compute the C*-algebra generated by a group of composition operators acting on certain reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces over the disk, where the symbols belong to a non-elementary Fuchsian group. We show that such a C*-algebra contains…

Given a complex, separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we characterize those operators for which $\| P T (I-P) \| = \| (I-P) T P \|$ for all orthogonal projections $P$ on $\mathcal{H}$. When $\mathcal{H}$ is finite-dimensional, we also…

We give a characterization of the compact operators on a model space in terms of asymptotic Toeplitz operators.

We study a specific family of symmetric norms on the algebra $\mathcal B(\mathcal H)$ of operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. With respect to each symmetric norm in this family the identity operator fails to attain…

Let H be an infinite-dimensional (real or complex) Hilbert space, viewed as a metric structure in its natural signature. We characterize the definable linear operators on H as exactly the "scalar plus compact" operators.

Let $\M$ be a von Neumann algebra with a faithful normal trace $\T$, and let $H^\infty$ be a finite, maximal, subdiagonal algebra of $\M$. Fundamental theorems on conjugate functions for weak$^*$\!-Dirichlet algebras are shown to be valid…

We analzye Rieffel's construction of generalized fixed point algebras in the setting of group actions on Hilbert modules. Let G be a locally compact group acting on a C*-algebra B. We construct a Hilbert module F over the reduced crossed…

For any given bounded symmetric domain, we prove the existence of commutative $C^*$-algebras generated by Toeplitz operators acting on any weighted Bergman space. The symbols of the Toeplitz operators that generate such algebras are defined…

For a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$, the quantum group algebra $L^1(\mathbb{G})$ is operator amenable if and only if it has an operator bounded approximate diagonal. It is known that if $L^1(\mathbb{G})$ is operator biflat and…

In this paper the concept of unbounded Fredholm operators on Hilbert C*- modules over an arbitrary C*-algebra is discussed and the Atkinson theorem is generalized for bounded and unbounded Feredholm operators on Hilbert C*-modules over…

Complementable operators extend classical matrix decompositions, such as the Schur complement, to the setting of infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, thereby broadening their applicability in various mathematical and physical contexts. This…

Suppose that H is a complex Hilbert space and that B(H) denotes the bounded linear operators on H. We show that every abelian, amenable operator algebra is similar to a C*-algebra. We do this by showing that if A is an abelian subalgebra of…

For $1 < p < \infty$ let $\mathcal{T}_p ^\alpha$ be the norm closure of the algebra generated by Toeplitz operators with bounded symbols acting on the standard weighted Fock space $F_\alpha ^p$. In this paper, we will show that an operator…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded convex Reinhardt domain in $\mathbb{C}^2$ and $\phi\in C(\bar{\Omega})$. We show that the Hankel operator $H_{\phi}$ is compact if and only if $\phi$ is holomorphic along every non-trivial analytic disc in the…

We consider various classes of bounded operators on the Fock space $F^2$ of Gaussian square integrable entire functions over the complex plane. These include Toeplitz (type) operators, weighted composition operators, singular integral…

A topology on a set $X$ is the same as a projection (i.e. an idempotent linear operator) $cl:2^X\to 2^X$ satisfying $A\subset cl(A)$ for all $A\subset X$. That's a good way to summarize Kuratowski's closure operator. Basic geometry on a set…

We provide a characterization for operator valued completely bounded linear maps on Hilbert $C^*$-modules in terms of $\varphi$-maps. Also, we show that for every operator valued completely positive map $\varphi$ on a $C^*$-algebra…
