This is an introduction to the algebras $A\subset B(H)$ that the linear operators $T:H\to H$ can form, once a complex Hilbert space $H$ is given. Motivated by quantum mechanics, we are mainly interested in the von Neumann algebras, which…

We present new conditions for semigroups of positive operators to converge strongly as time tends to infinity. Our proofs are based on a novel approach combining the well-known splitting theorem by Jacobs, de Leeuw and Glicksberg with a…

We obtain sufficient and necessary conditions (in terms of positive singular metrics on an associated line bundle) for a positive divisor $D$ on a projective algebraic variety $X$ to be attracting for a holomorphic map $f:X \mapsto X$.

Given a finite set $X\subseteq\R$ we characterize the diagonals of self-adjoint operators with spectrum $X$. Our result extends the Schur-Horn theorem from a finite dimensional setting to an infinite dimensional Hilbert space analogous to…

We study cocycles (non-autonomous dynamical systems) satisfying a certain squeezing condition with respect to the quadratic form of a bounded self-adjoint operator acting in a Hilbert space. We prove that (under additional assumptions) the…

We get a criterion for 0 to be in the essential spectrum of a sum of self-adjoint operators whose pairwise products are compact. Using this result, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the sum of ranges of such operators to be…

Motivated by recent work in Dynamical Sampling, we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for a frame in a separable and infinite-dimensional Hilbert space to admit the form $\{T^{n} \varphi \}_{n \geq 0}$ with $T \in B(H)$. Also, a…

In this short article, we mainly prove that, for any spectral operator $A$ of type $m$ on a complex Hilbert space, if a bounded operator $B$ lies in the collection of bounded linear operators that are in the $k$-centralizer of every bounded…

Assume that A is a unital separable simple C*-algebra with real rank zero, stable rank one, strict comparison of projections, and that its tracial simplex T(A) has a finite number of extremal points. We prove that every self-adjoint element…

Differentially positive systems are systems whose linearization along trajectories is positive. Under mild assumptions, their solutions asymptotically converge to a one-dimensional attractor, which must be a limit cycle in the absence of…

A projectability result is proved for surfaces of prescribed mean curvature (shortly called $H$-surfaces) spanned in a partially free boundary configuration. Hereby, the $H$-surface is allowed to meet the support surface along its free…

Given a self-adjoint operator $T$ on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space we study the problem of characterizing the set $\mathcal D(T)$ of all possible diagonals of $T$. For compact operators $T$, we give a complete…

We consider the linear Dirac operator with a (-1)-homogeneous locally periodic potential that varies with respect to a small parameter. Using the notation of G-convergence for positive self-adjoint operators in Hilbert spaces we prove…

A row and a column of two linear relations in Hilbert spaces are presented respectively as a sum and an intersection of two linear relations. As an application, necessary and sufficient conditions for the adjoint of a column to be a row are…

The primary purpose of this paper is to investigate the question of invertibility of the sum of operators. The setting is bounded and unbounded linear operators. Some interesting examples and consequences are given. As an illustrative…

We study the generalization of $m$-isometries and $m$-contractions (for positive integers $m$) to what we call $a$-isometries and $a$-contractions for positive real numbers $a$. We show that any Hilbert space operator, satisfying an…

Let $K_{\lambda}$ be the attractor of the following IFS \begin{equation*} \{f_1(x)=\lambda x, f_2(x)=\lambda x+1-\lambda\}, \;\;0<\lambda<1/2. \end{equation*} Given $\alpha \geq 0$, we say the line $y=\alpha x$ is visible through…

The conditions for sequences $\{f_{k}\}_{k=1}^{\infty}$ and $\{g_{k}\}_{k=1}^{\infty}$ being Bessel sequences, frames or Riesz bases, can be expressed in terms of the so-called cross-Gram matrix. In this paper we investigate the cross-Gram…

Let $n$ be a large number. A subset $A$ of $Z_n$ is complete if $S_A = Z_n$, where $S_A$ is the collection of the subset sums of $A$. Olson proved that if $n$ is a prime and $|A|> 2n^{1/2} $, then $S_A$ is complete. We show that a similar…

Let $n \geq 3$ and $R_{abcd}$ be a $(4,0)$ sectionally positive curvature-type tensor (a tensor possessing all the local symmetries of the $(4,0)$ curvature tensor). Then there exists a metric tensor $g_{ab}$ such that $R_{abcd}\; g^{bd} =…
