We prove a negative solution to the analogue of Hilbert's tenth problem for rings of one variable non-Archimedean entire functions in any characteristic. In the positive characteristic case we prove more: the ring of rational integers is…

The eigenvectors of an ergodic semigroup of linear normal positive unital maps on a von Neumann algebra are described. Moreover, it is shown by means of examples, that mere positivity of the maps in question is not sufficient for Frobenius…

The operator monotone functions defined in the positive half-line are of particular importance. We give a version of the theory in which integral representations for these functions can be established directly without invoking L\"owner's…

We establish a characterization of complex linear canonical transformations that are positive with respect to a pair of strictly plurisubharmonic quadratic weights. As an application, we show that the boundedness of a class of Toeplitz…

We introduce the concept of a \mu-scale invariant operator with respect to unitary transformation in a separable complex Hilbert space. We show that if a nonnegative densely defined symmetric operator is \mu-scale invariant for some \mu >0,…

We present geometric characterizations of the partial isometries, unitaries, and invertible operators in C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras.

Roughly speaking, functional analysis is the study of vector spaces of arbitrary dimension over the field of real or complex numbers, and the continuous linear mappings between such spaces. Naturally, the notion of continuity requires a…

Let $A$ be a positive definite operator on a Hilbert space $H$, and $|||.|||$ be a unitarily invariant norm on $B(H)$. We show that if $f$ is an operator monotone function on $(0,\infty)$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$, then $|||D^n…

In this paper we suggest an approach for constructing an L1-type space for a positive selfadjoint operator affiliated with von Neumann algebra. For such operator we intro- duce a seminorm, and prove that it is a norm if and only if the…

We prove two extension theorems for positive maps from operator systems into matrix algebras

We use the Perron-Frobenius Theorem to define, study and, in some sense, classify special simple modules over arbitrary finite dimensional positively based algebras. For group algebras of finite Weyl groups with respect to the…

The aim of this work is to define a continuous functional calculus in quaternionic Hilbert spaces, starting from basic issues regarding the notion of spherical spectrum of a normal operator. As properties of the spherical spectrum suggest,…

Motivated by deformation quantization we consider $^*$-algebras over ordered rings and their deformations: we investigate formal associative deformations compatible with the $^*$-involution and discuss a cohomological description in terms…

We give a characterization of the rational normal curve in terms of the rank function associated to a curve.

We perform an in-depth study of some domination and smoothing properties of linear operators and of their role within the theory of eventually positive operator semigroups. On the one hand we prove that, on many important function spaces,…

We determine all entire functions $f$ such that for nonzero complex values $a\neq b$ the implications $f=a \Rightarrow f' =a$ and $f' =b \Rightarrow f=b$ hold. This solves an open problem in uniqueness theory. In this context we give a…

We consider pairs of operators $A,B\in B(H)$, where $H$ is a Hilbert space, such that there exist a linear isometry $f$ from the span of $\{A,B\}$ into $\mathbb{C}^2$ mapping $A,B$ into orthonormal vectors. We prove some necessary…

We characterize all linear operators which preserve spaces of entire functions whose zeros lie in a closed strip. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the related problem with real entire functions, and some classical…

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a pair $S,T$ of Hilbert space operators in order that they satisfy $S^*=T$ and $T^*=S$. As a main result we establish an improvement of von Neumann's classical theorem on the positive…

We introduce a new factorial function which agrees with the usual Euler gamma function at both the positive integers and at all half-integers, but which is also entire. We describe the basic features of this function.
