We consider a second order self-adjoint operator in a domain which can be bounded or unbounded. The boundary is partitioned into two parts with Dirichlet boundary condition on one of them, and Neumann condition on the other. We assume that…

The classical Stein-Tomas restriction theorem is equivalent to the statement that the spectral measure $dE(\lambda)$ of the square root of the Laplacian on $\RR^n$ is bounded from $L^p(\RR^n)$ to $L^{p'}(\RR^n)$ for $1 \leq p \leq…

Let $T\colon L^p({\mathcal M})\to L^p({\mathcal N})$ be a bounded operator between two noncommutative $L^p$-spaces, $1\leq p<\infty$. We say that $T$ is $\ell^1$-bounded (resp. $\ell^1$-contractive) if $T\otimes I_{\ell^1}$ extends to a…

We prove that if T is a strictly singular 1-1 operator defined on an infinite dimensional Banach space X, then for every infinite dimensional subspace Y of X there exists an infinite dimensional subspace Z of Y such that Z contains orbits…

We investigate some aspects of various numerical radius orthogonalities and numerical radius parallelism for bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}$. Among several results, we show that if $T,S\in \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H})$…

Let $f\in L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)$, $d\ge 3$, and let $A_t f(x)$ the average of $f$ over the sphere with radius $t$ centered at $x$. For a subset $E$ of $[1,2]$ we prove close to sharp $L^p\to L^q$ estimates for the maximal function $\sup_{t\in…

In this paper, a generalized Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for positive sesquilinear maps with values in noncommutative Lp-spaces for p > 1 are obtained. Bound estimates for their real and imaginary parts are also provided, and, as an…

The aim of this short note is to give examples of $L^p$-$L^q$ bounded spectral multipliers for operators involving left-invariant vector fields and their inverses, in the settings of Engel and Cartan groups. The interest in such examples…

Results of Haagerup and Schultz (2009) about existence of invariant subspaces that decompose the Brown measure are extended to a large class of unbounded operators affiliated to a tracial von Neumann algebra. These subspaces are used to…

In this paper we explore the properties of a bounded linear operator defined on a Banach space, in light of operator norm attainment. Using Birkhoff-James orthogonality techniques, we give a necessary condition for a bounded linear operator…

We introduce the notion of a regular mapping on a non-commutative $L_p$-space associated to a hyperfinite von Neumann algebra for $1\le p\le \infty$. This is a non-commutative generalization of the notion of regular or order bounded map on…

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra and $I$ be a closed ideal in $A$. For $x\in A$, its image under the canonical surjection $A\to A/I$ is denoted by $\dot x$, and the spectral radius of $x$ is denoted by $r(x)$. We prove that $$\max\{r(x), \|\dot…
