A semiregular operator on a Hilbert C^*-module, or equivalently, on the C^*-algebra of `compact' operators on it, is a closable densely defined operator whose adjoint is also densely defined. It is shown that for operators on extensions of…

In this note, we mainly investigate the validity of the identities $(TT^*)^*=TT^*$ and $(T^*T)^*=T^*T$, where $T$ is a densely defined closable (or symmetric) operator.

An operator *-algebra is a non-selfadjoint operator algebra with completely isometric involution. We show that any operator *-algebra admits a faithful representation on a Hilbert space in such a way that the involution coincides with the…

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…

We give an explicit description of all minimal self-adjoint extensions of a densely defined, closed symmetric operator in a Hilbert space with deficiency indices $(1, 1)$.

In this paper spectral theorems for not necessarily continuous normal and self-adjoint random operators on a complex separable Hilbert space are proved.

In this paper we provide a quantitative comparison of two obstructions for a given symmetric operator S with dense domain in Hilbert space ${\cal H}$ to be selfadjoint. The first one is the pair of deficiency spaces of von Neumann, and the…

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…

Let $A$ be a positive bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{B}_{A}(\mathcal{H})$ be the subspace of all operators which admit $A$-adjoints operators. In this paper, we establish some inequalities…

We study weighted composition operators on Hilbert spaces of analytic functions on the unit ball with kernels of the form $(1-<z,w>)^{-\gamma}$ for $\gamma>0$. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the adjoint of a weighted…

This is a continuation of our previous paper. We consider a certain order-like relation for positive operators on a Hilbert space. This relation is defined by using the Jensen inequality with respect to the square-root function. We show…

A simple proof is provided to show that any bounded normal operator on a real Hilbert space is orthogonally equivalent to its transpose(adjoint). A structure theorem for invertible skew-symmetric operators, which is analogous to the finite…

We study a closed unbounded self-adoint operator Q acting on a Hilbert space H in the framework of Metric Abstract Elementary Classes (MAECS). We build a suitable MAEC for (H,Q), prove it is aleph 0 stable up to perturbations and…

Assume that $T$ is a self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ and that the spectrum of $T$ is confined in the union $\bigcup_{j\in J}\Delta_j$, $J\subseteq\mathbb{Z}$, of segments $\Delta_j=[\alpha_j,…

Four possible definitions of the commutation relation $[S,T]=\Id$ of two closable unbounded operators $S,T$ are compared. The {\em weak} sense of this commutator is given in terms of the inner product of the Hilbert space $\H$ where the…

The main result (roughly) is that if (H_i) converges weakly to H and if also f(H_i) converges weakly to f(H), for a single strictly convex continuous function f, then (H_i) must converge strongly to H. One application is that if f(pr(H)) =…

The selfadjoint extensions of a closed linear relation $R$ from a Hilbert space ${\mathfrak H}_1$ to a Hilbert space ${\mathfrak H}_2$ are considered in the Hilbert space ${\mathfrak H}_1\oplus{\mathfrak H}_2$ that contains the graph of…

We establish that the complete theory of a Hilbert space equipped with a normal operator has the Schr\"oder-Bernstein property. This answers a question of Argoty, Berenstein, and the first-named author. We also prove an analogous statement…

Let $H_1,H_2$ be complex Hilbert spaces and $T$ be a densely defined closed linear operator (not necessarily bounded). It is proved that for each $\epsilon>0$, there exists a bounded operator $S$ with $\|S\|\leq \epsilon$ such that $T+S$ is…

Suppose $T$ and $S$ are bounded adjointable operators with close range between Hilbert C*-modules, then $TS$ has closed range if and only if $Ker(T)+Ran(S)$ is an orthogonal summand, if and only if $Ker(S^*)+Ran(T^*)$ is an orthogonal…
