In a recent experiment, the out-of-plane surface susceptibility of a single-layer two-dimensional atom crystal in the visible spectrum has been measured. This susceptibility gives a measurable contribution to the reflectivity of…

In earlier papers the second author and Charles Read have introduced and studied a new notion of positivity for operator algebras, with an eye to extending certain C*-algebraic results and theories to more general algebras. The present…

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…

Results concerning recurrence and ergodicity are proved in an abstract Hilbert space setting based on the proof of Khintchine's recurrence theorem for sets, and on the Hilbert space characterization of ergodicity. These results are carried…

This work presents a rigorous characterization of inner products on the Hilbert space $S_2$ of Hilbert--Schmidt operators. We first deal with a general setting of continuous sesquilinear forms on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$, and provide a…

Optical reflectivity as a simple diagnostic method for testing structural quality of icosahedral quasicrystals 2 The optical reflectivity of Al-based and Ti-based quasicrystalline and approximant samples were investigated versus the quality…

We look for algebraic certificates of positivity for functions which are not necessarily polynomial functions. Similar questions were examined earlier by Lasserre and Putinar and by Putinar. We explain how these results can be understood as…

We study linear functionals on a Clifford algebra (algebra of Ma- joranas) equipped with a reflection automorphism. For Hamiltonians that are functions of Majoranas or of spins, we find necessary and sufficient conditions on the coupling…

In this article we study different aspects of Hermitian operators applying the concept of positive decompositions. On the one hand, we characterize the positivity of an Hermitian operator by means of a norm condition where the factors of…

Differentially positive systems are systems whose linearization along trajectories is positive. Under mild assumptions, their solutions asymptotically converge to a one-dimensional attractor, which must be a limit cycle in the absence of…

We construct a Hunt process that can be described as an isotropic $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process reflected from the complement of a bounded open Lipschitz set. In fact, we introduce a new analytic method for concatenating Markov processes.…

Let $T$ be a quadratic operator on a complex Hilbert space $H$. We show that $T$ can be written as a product of two positive contractions if and only if $T$ is of the form $$aI \oplus bI \oplus\begin{pmatrix} aI & P \cr 0 & bI \cr…

We investigate the interaction between the existence of reproducing kernels on infinite-dimensional Hermitian vector bundles and the positivity properties of the corresponding bundles. The positivity refers to the curvature form of certain…

We prove some general results on the T-equivariant K-theory K_T(G/P) of the flag variety G/P, where G is a semisimple complex algebraic group, P is a parabolic subgroup and T$ is a maximal torus contained in P. In particular, we make a…

The present paper, III, is the third part of a series of papers, under the global title "the non triviality of a $\Phi_4^4$ model". Parts I and II have been previously completed. In them thanks to the properties we dubbed "splitting -tree…

We show that for a linear space of operators ${\mathcal M}\subseteq {\mathcal B}(H_1,H_2)$ the following assertions are equivalent. (i) ${\mathcal M} $ is reflexive in the sense of Loginov--Shulman. (ii) There exists an order-preserving map…

If $\H$ is a Hilbert space, $A$ is a positive bounded linear operator on $\cH$ and $\cS$ is a closed subspace of $\cH$, the relative position between $\cS$ and $A^{-1}(\cS \orto)$ establishes a notion of compatibility. We show that the…

In previous work we have shown that the (\theta->\infty)-limit of \phi^4_4-quantum field theory on noncommutative Moyal space is an exactly solvable matrix model. In this paper we translate these results to position space. We show that the…

Based on an integration by parts formula for closed and convex subsets $\Gamma$ of a separable real Hilbert space $H$ with respect to a Gaussian measure, we first construct and identify the infinite dimensional analogue of the obliquely…

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…
