We prove that for any two projection operators $f,g$ on Hilbert space, their anticommutator norm is given by the formula \[\|fg + gf\| = \|fg\| + \|fg\|^2.\] The result demonstrates an interesting contrast between the commutator and…

We compute the resolvent of the anti-commutator operator $XP+PX$ and of the quantum harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian operator $\frac{1}{2}(X^2+P^2)$. Using Stone's formula for finding the spectral resolution of an, either bounded or…

Different estimates for the norm of the self-commutator of a Hilbert space operator are proposed. Particularly, this norm is bounded from above by twice of the area of the numerical range of the operator. An isoperimetric-type inequality is…

The spectrum of $L^2$ on a pseudo-unitary group $U(p,q)$ (we assume $p\ge q$ naturally splits into $q+1$ types. We write explicitly orthogonal projectors in $L^2$ to subspaces with uniform spectra (this is an old question formulated by…

In any infinite dimensional Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ there exist orthogonal projections $Q_1$, $Q_2$ and $Q_3$, such that a sequence $(P_n... P_1(x))$ diverges in norm for some $P_1,P_2,...\in\{Q_1,Q_2,Q_3\}$ and $x\in\mathcal H$.

Let $P$ and $Q$ be two orthogonal projections on a separable Hilbert space, $\calH$. Wang, Du and Dou proved that there exists a unitary, $U$, with $UPU^{-1} =Q, \quad UQU^{-1} = P$ if and only if $\dim(\ker P \cap \ker(1-Q)) = \dim(\ker Q…

The Plancherel decomposition of $L^2$ on a pseudo-Riemannian symmetric space $GL(n,C)/GL(n,R)$ has spectrum of $[n/2]$ types. We write explicitly orthogonal projectors separating spectrum into uniform pieces

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…

The aim of this paper is to describe the closure of the numerical range of the product of two orthogonal projections in Hilbert space as a closed convex hull of some explicit ellipses parametrized by points in the spectrum. Several…

This article concerns the MP inverse of the differences and the products of projections in a ring $R$ with involution. Some equivalent conditions are obtained. As applications, the MP invertibility of the commutator $pq-qp$ and the…

Given two orthogonal projections $\{P,Q\}$ in a non commutative tracial probability space, we prove relations between the moments of $P+Q$, of $\sqrt{-1}(PQ-QP)$ and of $P+QPQ$ and those of the angle operator $PQP$. Our proofs are purely…

We characterize the quasianti-Hermitian quaternionic operators in QQM by means of their spectra; moreover, we state a necessary and sufficient condition for a set of quasianti-Hermitian quaternionic operators to be anti-Hermitian with…

In this note we obtain commutativity criteria for normal compact operators using the projective spectrum. We thus improve a corresponding result obtained by Chagouel, Stessin and Zhu[Trans AMS,2016].

We discuss the problem of perturbation of spectral subspaces for linear self-adjoint operators on a separable Hilbert space. Let $A$ and $V$ be bounded self-adjoint operators. Assume that the spectrum of $A$ consists of two disjoint parts…

A term called the quasi-projection pair $(P,Q)$ was introduced recently by the authors, where $P$ is a projection and $Q$ is an idempotent on a Hilbert $C^*$-module $H$ satisfying $Q^*=(2P-I)Q(2P-I)$, in which $Q^*$ is the adjoint operator…

The spectral analysis of the (local) conductor operator H = log(|q|) + log(|p|) was shown in a previous paper to be given by the Explicit Formula. I give here the spectral analysis of the commutator operator K = i[log(|p|),log(|q|)] (which…

The method of alternating projections involves orthogonally projecting an element of a Hilbert space onto a collection of closed subspaces. It is known that the resulting sequence always converges in norm if the projections are taken…
