We prove that if an amenable operator algebra is nearly contained in a complemented dual operator algebra, then it can be embedded inside this dual operator algebra via a similarity. The proof relies on a B.E. Johnson Theorem on…

Let K be any compact set. The C^*-algebra C(K) is nuclear and any bounded homomorphism from C(K) into B(H), the algebra of all bounded operators on some Hilbert space H, is automatically completely bounded. We prove extensions of these…

We continue our study of group algebras acting on $L^p$-spaces, particularly of algebras of $p$-pseudofunctions of locally compact groups. We focus on the functoriality properties of these objects. We show that $p$-pseudofunctions are…

We define spatial $L^p$ AF algebras for $p \in [1, \infty) \setminus \{ 2 \}$, and prove the following analog of the Elliott AF algebra classification theorem. If $A$ and $B$ are spatial $L^p$ AF algebras, then the following are equivalent:…

A lower semi-definite self-adjoint linear operator in a Hilbert space is taken whose discrete spectrum is not empty and comprises at least several eigenvalues $\lambda_{min}=\lambda_1\leqslant\ldots\leqslant\lambda_m<\sigma_{ess}$. The…

We discuss various theorems about bounded analytic functions on the bidisk that were proved using operator theory.

This paper may be viewed as having two aims. First, we continue our study of algebras of operators on a Hilbert space which have a contractive approximate identity, this time from a more Banach algebraic point of view. Namely, we mainly…

We review some of the significant generalizations and applications of the celebrated Douglas theorem on the equivalence of factorization, range inclusion, and majorization of operators. We then apply it to find a characterization of the…

We define essentially positive operators on Hilbert space as a class of self-adjoint operators whose essential spectra is contained in the nonnegative real numbers and describe their basic properties. Using Toeplitz operators and the…

Let $\mathcal{L}(H)$ be the $*$-algebra of all bounded operators on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space $H$ and let $(\mathcal{I}, \|\cdot\|_{\mathcal{I}})$ be an ideal in $\mathcal{L}(H)$ equipped with a Banach norm which is distinct…

For an arbitrary self-adjoint operator $B$ in a Hilbert space $H$, we present direct and inverse theorems establishing the relationship between the degree of smoothness of a vector $x \in H$ with respect to the operator $B$, the rate of…

multiplication operator on a Hilbert space may be approximated with finite sections by choosing an orthonormal basis of the Hilbert space. Nonzero multiplication operators on $L^2$ spaces of functions are never compact and then such…

We study positive bilinear forms on a Hilbert space which are neither not necessarily bounded nor induced by some positive operator. We show when different families of bilinear forms can be described as a generalized effect algebra. In…

Let G be a locally compact group. We use the canonical operator space structure on the spaces $L^p(G)$ for $p \in [1,\infty]$ introduced by G. Pisier to define operator space analogues $OA_p(G)$ of the classical Figa-Talamanca-Herz algebras…

Jordan operator algebras are norm-closed spaces of operators on a Hilbert space which are closed under the Jordan product. The discovery of the present paper is that there exists a huge and tractable theory of possibly nonselfadjoint Jordan…

Let $M$ be a von Neumann algebra with a faithful normal finite trace $t$, and $H^\infty$ be a finite, maximal, subdiagonal of $M$. Fundamental theorems on conjugate functions for weak* Dirichlet algebras are shown to be a bounded linear map…

We study best approximations to compact operators between Banach spaces and Hilbert spaces, from the point of view of Birkhoff-James orthogonality and semi-inner-products. As an application of the present study, some distance formulae are…

A real square matrix $A$ is called a P-matrix if all its principal minors are positive. Using the sign non-reversal property of matrices, the notion of P-matrix has been recently extended by Kannan and Sivakumar to infinite-dimensional…

We study those operators on a Hilbert space that can be lifted / extended to any twisted Hilbert space. We prove that these form an ideal of operators which contains all the Schatten classes. We characterize those multiplication operators…

We study star product algebras of analytic functions for which the power series defining the products converge absolutely. Such algebras arise naturally in deformation quantization theory and in noncommutative quantum field theory. We…
