Large time behaviour of heat semigroups (and more generally, of positive selfadjoint semigroups) is studied. Convergence of the semigroup to the ground state and of averaged logarithms of kernels to the ground state energy is shown in the…
Convergence of operators acting on a given Hilbert space is an old and well studied topic in operator theory. The idea of introducing a related notion for operators acting on arying spaces is natural. However, it seems that the first…
We prove an analogue of the Central Limit Theorem for operators. For every operator $K$ defined on $\mathbb{C}[x]$ we construct a sequence of operators $K_N$ defined on $\mathbb{C}[x_1,...,x_N]$ and demonstrate that, under certain…
A basic result in semigroup theory states that every $C_0$-semigroup is quasi-contractive with respect to some appropriately chosen equivalent norm. This paper contains a counterpart of this well-known fact. Namely, by examining the…
We give several applications of a recent theorem of the second author, which solved a conjecture of the first author with Hay and Neal, concerning contractive approximate identities; and another of Hay from the theory of noncommutative peak…
Necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for the Abel averages of discrete and strongly continuous semigroups, $T^k$ and $T_t$, to be power convergent in the operator norm in a complex Banach space. These results cover also the…
Let $\Omega$ be an operator semigroup with generator $A$ in a sequentially complete locally convex topological vector space $E$. For a semigroup with generator $A+D$, where $D$ is a bounded linear operator on $E$, two integral equations are…
We study properties of positive operators on Gelfand-Shilov spaces, and distributions which are positive with respect to non-commutative convolutions. We prove that boundedness of kernels $K \in \maclD_s^{\prime}$ to positive operators, are…
Quasidiagonal operators on a Hilbert space are a large and important class (containing all self-adjoint operators for instance). They are also perfectly suited for study via the finite section method (a particular Galerkin method). Indeed,…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a bounded operator defined between complex Hilbert spaces to be absolutely norm attaining. We discuss structure of such operators in the case of self-adjoint and normal operators separately.…
The symmetry of quantum theory under time reversal has long been a subject of controversy because the transition probabilities given by Born's rule do not apply backward in time. Here, we resolve this problem within a rigorous operational…
An operator $T$ on a Hilbert space is called half-centered if the sequence $T^{*}T,(T^{*})^{2}T^{2},...$ consists of mutually commuting operators. It is a subclass of the well-studied centered operators. In this paper we give a condition…
We propose two interrelated advances in the theory of adjointable operators on Hilbert C*-modules. First, we give a set of equivalent, verifiable conditions characterizing positivity of general $n\times n$ block operator matrices acting on…
In this paper we prove Korovkin type theorem for iterates of general positive linear operators $T:C\left[ 0,1\right] \rightarrow C\left[ 0,1\right] $ and derive quantitative estimates in terms of modulus of smoothness. In particular, we…
The well-known Batty's theorem states that if a $C_0$-semigroup $T(t)$ is bounded and the spectrum of the generator $A$ is contained in the open left-half plane of $\mathbb{C}$, then $\|T(t)A^{-1}\|$ tends to $0$. This can be thought of as…
Let $X$ be a Banach space, and $T:[0,\infty)\rightarrow {\mathcal{L}}(X,X),$ the bounded linear operators on $X.$ A family $\{T(t)\}_{t\ge 0}\subseteq {% \mathcal{L}}(X,X)$ is called a one-parameter semigroup if $T(s+t)=T(s)T(t),$ and…
We prove a Schoenberg-type correspondence for non-unital semigroups which generalizes an analogous result for unital semigroup proved by Michael Sch\"urmann. It characterizes the generators of semigroups of linear maps on $M_n(C)$ which are…
We study maximal representations of nonnegative sesquilinear forms in real or complex Hilbert spaces, that are not necessarily closed or even closable. We associate positive self-adjoint operators with such forms, in a sense similar to…
Operator systems are the unital self-adjoint subspaces of the bounded operators on a Hilbert space. Complex operator systems are an important category containing the C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras, which is increasingly of interest in…
In this paper, the concept of Birkhoff--James orthogonality of operators on a Hilbert space is generalized when a semi-inner product is considered. More precisely, for linear operators $T$ and $S$ on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, a…
