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)) =…

When is the collection of $\mathsf S$-Toeplitz operators with respect to a tuple of commuting bounded operators $\mathsf S= (S_1, S_2, \ldots , S_{d-1}, P)$, which has the symmetrized polydisc as a spectral set, non-trivial? The answer is…

In this note, we give an example of a densely defined closed one-to-one paranormal operator $T$ whose adjoint is also injective and paranormal, but $T$ fails to be normal.

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…

This monograph contains revised and enlarged materials from previous lecture notes of undergraduate and graduate courses and seminars delivered by both authors over the last years on a subject that is central both in abstract operator…

We consider the Jacobi operator (T,D(T)) associated with an indeterminate Hamburger moment problem, i.e., the operator in $\ell^2$ defined as the closure of the Jacobi matrix acting on the subspace of complex sequences with only finitely…

A sequence of operators $T_n$ from a Hilbert space ${\mathfrak H}$ to Hilbert spaces ${\mathfrak K}_n$ which is nondecreasing in the sense of contractive domination is shown to have a limit which is still a linear operator $T$ from…

If $T$ is a (densely defined) self-adjoint operator acting on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ and $I$ stands for the identity operator, we introduce the delta function operator $\lambda \mapsto \delta \left(\lambda I-T\right) $ at…

We present complete characterizations of Toeplitz operators that are complex symmetric. This follows as a by-product of characterizations of conjugations on Hilbert spaces. Notably, we prove that every conjugation admits a canonical…

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…

This article delves into the analysis of various spectral properties pertaining to totally paranormal closed operators, extending beyond the confines of boundedness and encompassing operators defined in a Hilbert space. Within this class,…

A closed densely defined operator $ T $ on a Hilbert space $ \mathcal{H} $ is callled $M$-hyponormal if $\mathcal{D}(T) \subset \mathcal{D}(T^{*}) $ and there exists $ M > 0 $ for which $ \parallel(T-zI)^{*}x \parallel \leq M…

This paper is a continuation of our previous work \cite{wang2024complex}. It mainly deals with entire operators $T$ with deficiency index 1 \emph{systematically} from the complex-geometric viewpoint proposed in \cite{wang2024complex}. We…

In this paper it is proved that each densely defined $J$-skew-symmetric operator (or each $J$-isometric operator with $\overline{D(A)}=\overline{R(A)}=H$) in a Hilbert space $H$ has a $J$-skew-self-adjoint (respectively $J$-unitary)…

We consider in a Hilbert space a self-adjoint operator H and a family Phi=(Phi_1,...,Phi_d) of mutually commuting self-adjoint operators. Under some regularity properties of H with respect to Phi, we propose two new formulae for a time…

Given a contraction A on a Hilbert space H, an operator T on H is said to be A-invariant if <Tx,x>=<TAx,Ax> for every x in H such that ||Ax||=||x||. In the special case in which both defect indices of A are equal to 1, we show that every…

We say that an operator $T \in B(H)$ is complex symmetric if there exists a conjugate-linear, isometric involution $C:H\to H$ so that $T = CT^*C$. We prove that binormal operators, operators that are algebraic of degree two (including all…

Let $\eps >0$. We prove that there exists an operator $T_\eps:\ell_2\to\ell_2$, such that for any polynomial $P$ we have $\|{P(T)}\| \leq(1+\eps)\|{P}\|_\infty$, but which is not similar to a contraction, {\it i.e.} there does not exist an…

We prove an analogue to the Cayley identity for an arbitrary self-adjoint operator in a Hilbert space. We also provide two new ways to characterize vectors belonging to the singular spectral subspace in terms of the analytic properties of…

In this paper, we are concerned with conditions under which $[p(T)]^*=\bar{p}(T^*)$, where $p(z)$ is a one-variable complex polynomial, and $T$ is an unbounded, densely defined, and linear operator. Then, we deal with the validity of the…
