We revisit the Krein-von Neumann extension in the case where the underlying symmetric operator is strictly positive and apply this to derive the explicit form of the Krein-von Neumann extension for singular, general (i.e.,…
In this paper we investigate algebraic function fields in positive characteristic mainly obtained as double Artin-Schreier extensions of rational function fields with a plane model. The goal is to extend to such extensions large…
We survey various properties of Krein--von Neumann extensions $S_K$ and the reduced Krein--von Neumann operator $\hatt S_K$ in connection with a strictly positive (symmetric) operator $S$ with nonzero deficiency indices. In particular, we…
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…
We study possible noncommutative (operator algebra) variants of the classical Hoffman-Rossi theorem from the theory of function algebras. In particular we give a condition on the range of a contractive weak* continuous homomorphism defined…
The main theorem provides a characterisation of the finite rank operators lying in a norm closed Lie ideal of a continuous nest algebra. These operators are charaterised as those finite rank operators in the nest algebra satisfying a…
Expanding upon recent work, a new class of $A$-functions is introduced that can be viewed as an appropriate generalization of the class of regular $A$-functions, the class of structured $A$-functions, and the class of perfect $A$-functions.…
For a class of linear maps on a von Neumann factor, we associate two objects, bounded operators and trace class operators, both of which play the roles of Choi matrices. Each of them is positive if and only if the original map on the factor…
The Krein-von Neumann extension is studied for Schr\"odinger operators on metric graphs. Among other things, its vertex conditions are expressed explicitly, and its relation to other self-adjoint vertex conditions (e.g.…
In this paper, we present new characterizations of normal and positive operators in terms of their powers. Among other things, we show that if $T^2$ is normal, $\mathcal{W}(T^{2k+1})$ lies on one side of a line passing through the origin…
In the article a technique of the usage of $f$-continuous functions (on mappings) and their families is developed. A proof of the Urysohn's Lemma for mappings is presented and a variant of the Brouwer-Tietze-Urysohn Extension Theorem for…
For a given set of input-output pairs of quantum states or observables, we ask the question whether there exists a physically implementable transformation that maps each of the inputs to the corresponding output. The physical maps on…
The decompositions of an element of a finite von Neumann algebra into the sum of a normal operator plus an s.o.t.-quasinilpotent operator, obtained using the Haagerup--Schultz hyperinvariant projections, behave well with respect to…
A real finite-dimensional space with indefinite scalar product having v- negative squares and v+ positive ones is considered. The paper presents a classification of operators that are normal with respect to this product for the cases…
We show that an operator valued $\alpha$-completely positive map on a group G is given by a unitary representation of G on a Krein space which satisfies some condition. Moreover, two unitary equivalent such unitary representations define…
The extension problem asks whether positive semi-definite functions on a symmetric unital subset of a discrete group can be extended to positive semi-definite functions on the whole group. It has been known at least since the work of Rudin…
We introduce a classification of simple, regular, closed symmetric operators with deficiency indices (1,1) according to a geometric criterion that extends the classical notions of entire operators and entire operators in the generalized…
A finite-dimensional complex space with indefinite scalar product [.,.] having v- = 2 negative squares and v+ >= 2 positive ones is considered. The paper presents a classification of operators that are normal with respect to this product.…
Composition operators with analytic symbols on some reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of entire functions on a complex Hilbert space are studied. The questions of their boundedness, seminormality and positivity are investigated. It is…
A notion of partial ideal for an operator algebra is a weakening the notion of ideal where the defining algebraic conditions are enforced only in the commutative subalgebras. We show that, in a von Neumann algebra, the ultraweakly closed…
