We introduce two natural notions of multivariable Aluthge transforms (toral and spherical), and study their basic properties. In the case of 2-variable weighted shifts, we first prove that the toral Aluthge transform does not preserve…

We study jointly quasinormal and spherically quasinormal pairs of commuting operators on Hilbert space, as well as their powers. We first prove that, up to a constant multiple, the only jointly quasinormal $2$-variable weighted shift is the…

Aluthge transform of a bounded operator is generalized to the case of unbounded one. A formula for the Aluthge transform of a weighted shift on a directed tree is established and it is used to construct an example of a hyponormal operator…

We study the class of hyponormal 2-variable weighted shifts with two consecutive equal weights in the weight sequence of one of the coordinate operators. We show that under natural assumptions on the coordinate operators, the presence of…

Let $T\in B(H)$ be a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space $H$, let $T = V|T|$ be its polar decomposition of $T$ and let $\lambda\in [0,1]$. The $\lambda$-Aluthge transform $\Delta_{\lambda}(T)$ and the mean transforms $M(T)$ are…

We study the spectral pictures of (jointly) hyponormal 2-variable weighted shifts with commuting subnormal components. By contrast with all known results in the theory of subnormal single and 2-variable weighted shifts, we show that the…

We generalize the electromagnetic duality between a massless, canonical scalar field and a 2-form gauge field in 4-dimensional spacetime to scalar-tensor theories. We derive the action of 2-form gauge field that is dual to two kinds of…

Building on the recent computation of the cohomology rings of smooth toric varieties and partial quotients of moment-angle complexes, we investigate the naturality properties of the resulting isomorphism between the cohomology of such a…

We deform two-dimensional topological gravity by making use of its gauge theory formulation. The obtained noncommutative gravity model is shown to be invariant under a class of transformations that reduce to standard diffeomorphisms once…

Assorted weighted shifts over finite rooted directed trees are studied. Their complex symmetry is characterized.

A subnormal weighted shift may be transformed to another shift in various ways, such as taking the p-th power of each weight or forming the Aluthge transform. \ We determine in a number of cases whether the resulting shift is subnormal,…

We introduce two 2-variables transforms: the partial bi-free S-transform and the partial bi-free T-transform. These transforms are the analogues for the bi-multiplicative and respectively for the additive-multiplicative bi-free convolution…

We study a general class of weighted shifts whose weights $\alpha$ are given by $\alpha_n = \sqrt{\frac{p^n + N}{p^n + D}}$, where $p > 1$ and $N$ and $D$ are parameters so that $(N,D) \in (-1, 1)\times (-1, 1)$. Some few examples of these…
