Given a separable unital C*-algebra A, let E denote the Banach-space completion of the A-valued Schwartz space on Rn with norm induced by the A-valued inner product $<f,g>=\int f(x)^*g(x) dx$. The assignment of the pseudodifferential…
Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a (separable) Hilbert space and $\{e_k\}_{k\geq 1}$ a fixed orthonormal basis of $\mathcal{H}$. Motivated by many papers on scaled projections, angles of subspaces and oblique projections, we define and study the notion…
Effect algebras were introduced as an abstract algebraic model for Hilbert space effects representing quantum mechanical measurements. We study additional structures on an effect algebra $E$ that enable us to define spectrality and spectral…
The purpose of this note is to show that, if $\mcB$ is a uniformly convex Banach, then the dual space $\mcB'$ has a "Hilbert space representation" (defined in the paper), that makes $\mcB$ much closer to a Hilbert space then previously…
Let $\lambda\in \mathbb{R},$ $\mu\in \mathbb{R}$ and $B$ be a linear bounded operator from a Hilbert space $\mathcal{K}$ into another Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}.$ In this paper, we consider the formulas of the absolute value…
This paper presents necessary and sufficient conditions for a positive bounded operator on a separable Hilbert space to be the sum of a finite or infinite collection of projections (not necessarily mutually orthogonal), with the sum…
We show that, given a closed subset $E$ of the unit circle of Lebesgue measure zero, there exists a positive sequence $u_n\to\infty$ with the following property: if $T$ is a Hilbert-space contraction such that $\sigma(T)\subset E$ and…
We consider reflection-positivity (Osterwalder-Schrader positivity, O.S.-p.) as it is used in the study of renormalization questions in physics. In concrete cases, this refers to specific Hilbert spaces that arise before and after the…
A bounded operator on a real or complex separable infinite-dimensional Banach space $Z$ is universal in the sense of Glasner and Weiss if for every invertible ergodic measure-preserving transformation $T$ of a standard Lebesgue probability…
This paper investigates the projection operators that lie in the algebra generated by powers of an $n$-potent operator $T$ on a complex Banach space, where $T^n = T$. We give a complete description of all projections in the algebra…
It is known that complementary oblique projections $\hat{P}_0 + \hat{P}_1 = I$ on a Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}$ have the same standard operator norm $\|\hat{P}_0\| = \|\hat{P}_1\|$ and the same singular values, but for the multiplicity of…
In this article, we present a new subadditivity behavior of convex and concave functions, when applied to Hilbert space operators. For example, under suitable assumptions on the spectrum of the positive operators $A$ and $B$, we prove that…
Given a separable unital C*algebra $C$, let $E_n$ denote the Hilbert module equal to the completion of the Schwartz space of rapidly decreasing smooth functions from $R^n$ to $C$ equipped with the $C$-valued inner product given by…
Let $(X,+,d)$ be an Abelian metric group and $A\subset X$. We investigate the spectre of a set $A$, defined as the set of all elements $z\in X$ such that for every $x\in A$ either $x+z \in A$ or $x-z \in A$. We consider the corresponding to…
In this paper, we study {\it operator spaces\/} in the sense of the theory developed recently by Blecher-Paulsen [BP] and Effros-Ruan [ER1]. By an operator space, we mean a closed subspace $E\subset B(H)$, with $H$ Hilbert. We will be…
We give an overview of the question: which positive elements in an operator algebra can be written as a linear combination of projections with positive coefficients. A special case of independent interest is the question of which positive…
The paper deals with continuous homomorphisms $S \ni s \mapsto T_s \in L(E)$ of amenable semigroups $S$ into the algebra $L(E)$ of all bounded linear operators on a Banach space $E$. For a closed linear subspace $F$ of $E$, sufficient…
We first prove that in a sigma-finite von Neumann factor M, a positive element $a$ with properly infinite range projection R_a is a linear combination of projections with positive coefficients if and only if the essential norm ||a||_e with…
We study ordinal-indexed, multi-layer iterations of bounded operator transforms and prove convergence to spectral/ergodic projections under functional-calculus hypotheses. For normal operators on Hilbert space and polynomial or holomorphic…
Parallel to the study of finite dimensional Banach spaces, there is a growing interest in the corresponding local theory of operator spaces. We define a family of Hilbertian operator spaces H_n^k,0< k < n+1, generalizing the row and column…
