We outline a global approach to scattering theory in one dimension that allows for the description of a large class of scattering systems and their $\mathcal{P}$-, $\mathcal{T}$-, and $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetries. In particular, we…

We give a new proof of certain cases of the sharp HLS inequality. Instead of symmetric decreasing rearrangement it uses the reflection positivity of inversions in spheres. In doing this we extend a characterization of the minimizing…

Any refinement system (= functor) has a fully faithful representation in the refinement system of presheaves, by interpreting types as relative slice categories, and refinement types as presheaves over those categories. Motivated by an…

An oscillator algebra and the associated Fock space with reflecting boundary and generalized statistics are constructed and is generalized to the multicomponent case. The oscillator algebra depends manifestly on the reflection factor and…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a strictly convex domain with smooth boundary and diameter $D$. The fundamental gap conjecture claims that if $V:\bar\Omega\to\mathbb{R}$ is convex, then the spectral gap of the Schr\"odinger operator…

We discuss positivity properties of `distinguished propagators', i.e. distinguished inverses of operators that frequently occur in scattering theory and wave propagation. We relate this to the work of Duistermaat and H\"ormander on…

A recurrent theme in functional analysis is the interplay between the theory of positive definite functions, and their reproducing kernels, on the one hand, and Gaussian stochastic processes, on the other. This central theme is motivated by…

We deal with the fragment of modal logic consisting of implications of formulas built up from the variables and the constant `true' by conjunction and diamonds only. The weaker language allows one to interpret the diamonds as the uniform…

Let $S$ be a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space. We show that if $S$ is accretive (resp. dissipative the sense that $\frac{S-{{S}^{*}}}{2i}$ is positive) in the sense that $\frac{S+{{S}^{*}}}{2}$ is positive, then…

Positive operator measures (with values in the space of bounded operators on a Hilbert space) and their generalizations, mainly positive sesquilinear form measures, are considered with the aim of providing a framework for their generalized…

We consider systems of backward stochastic differential equations with c\`adl\`ag upper barrier $U$ and oblique reflection from below driven by an increasing continuous function $H$. Our equations are defined on general probability spaces…

We study strongly measurable random bounded operators on separable Hilbert spaces and analyze two simple iterations driven by independent random positive contractions. The first, a Kaczmarz-like iteration, converges in mean square and…

We study expansions of Hilbert spaces with a bounded normal operator $T$. We axiomatize this theory in a natural language and identify all of its completions. We prove the definability of the adjoint $T^*$ and prove quantifier elimination…

Following the Witten-Nester formalism, we present a useful prescription using Weyl spinors towards the positivity of mass. As a generalization of arXiv:1310.1663, we show that some "positivity conditions" must be imposed upon the gauge…

Any matrix product state $|\Psi\rangle$ has a set of associated kept and discarded spaces, needed for the description of $|\Psi\rangle$, and changes thereof, respectively. These induce a partition of the full Hilbert space of the system…

The theory of positive maps plays a central role in operator algebras and functional analysis, and has countless applications in quantum information science. The theory was originally developed for operators acting on complex Hilbert…

In arXiv:1802.02833 Guichard and Wienhard introduced the notion of $\Theta$-positivity, a generalization of Lusztig's total positivity to real Lie groups that are not necessarily split. Based on this notion, we introduce in this paper…

A spectral theory of linear operators on a rigged Hilbert space is applied to Schr\"odinger operators with exponentially decaying potentials and dilation analytic potentials. The theory of rigged Hilbert spaces provides a unified approach…

We use modular invariance and crossing symmetry of conformal field theory to reveal approximate reflection symmetries in the spectral decompositions of the partition function in two dimensions in the limit of large central charge and of the…

In this paper we investigate the spectra and the ergodic properties of the multiplication operators and the convolution operators acting on the Schwartz space $\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R})$ of rapidly decreasing functions, i.e., operators of the…
