We denote by $\bbt$ the unit circle and by $\bbd$ the unit disc of $\bbc$. Let $s$ be a non-negative real and $\omega$ a weight such that $\omega(n) = (1+n)^{s} \quad (n \geq 0)$ and such that the sequence $\dsp…

Let $S(C_0(X))^+$ and $S(C_0(Y))^+$ denote the positive parts of the unit spheres of $C_0(X)$ and $C_0(Y)$, where $X$ and $Y$ are locally compact Hausdorff spaces. We prove that every surjective isometry from $S(C_0(X))^+$ onto…

Let $B(E,F)$ denote the set of all bounded linear operators from $E$ into $F$, and $B^+(E,F)$ the set of double splitting operators in $B(E,F)$. When both $E,F$ are infinite dimensional , in $B(E,F)$ there are not more elementary…

Motivated by the canonical decomposition of contractions on Hilbert spaces, we investigate when contractive Toeplitz operators on vector-valued Hardy spaces on the unit disc admit a non-zero reducing subspace on which its restriction is…

The purpose of the article is to generalize the concept of approximate Birkhoff-James orthogonality, in the semi-Hilbertian structure. Given a positive operator $ A $ on a Hilbert space $ \mathbb{H}, $ we define $ (\epsilon,A)- $approximate…

On finite dimensional spaces, it is apparent that an operator is the product of two positive operators if and only if it is similar to a positive operator. Here, the class ${\mathcal L}^{+2}$ of bounded operators on separable infinite…

Let $p$ be an idempotent ultrafilter over $\mathbb{N}$. For a positive integer $N$, let ${\cal P}_{\leq N}$ denote the additive group of polynomials $P\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with ${\rm deg}\, P\leq N$ and $P(0)=0$. Given a unitary operator $U$…

The conditions on a Banach space, $E$, under which the algebra, $\mathcal{K}(E)$, of compact operators on $E$ is right flat or homologically unital are investigated. These homological properties are related to factorization in the algebra…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a complex, separable Hilbert space (of finite or infinite dimension), and let $\mathcal{U}(\mathcal{H})$ denote the group of unitary operators on $\mathcal{H}$. A symmetry is, by definition, a unitary operator $J$ with…

This paper is devoted to an approximation problem for operators in Hilbert space, that appears when one tries to study geometrically the cascade algorithm in wavelet theory. Let $ H $ be a Hilbert space, and let $ \pi $ be a representation…

There has been a long-standing conjecture in Banach algebra that every amenable operator is similar to a normal operator. In this paper, we study the structure of amenable operators on Hilbert spaces. At first, we show that the conjecture…

Let ${\cal H}$ be a Hilbert space, $A$ a positive definite operator in ${\cal H}$ and $\langle f,g\rangle_A=\langle Af,g\rangle$, $f,g\in {\cal H}$, the $A$-inner product. This paper studies the geometry of the set $$ {\cal I}_A^a:=\{\hbox{…

We give new inequalities for $A$-operator seminorm and $A$-numerical radius of semi-Hilbertian space operators and show that the inequalities obtained here generalize and improve on the existing ones. Considering a complex Hilbert space…

Let $E$ and $B$ be arbitrary weakly compact JB$^*$-triples whose unit spheres are denoted by $S(E)$ and $S(B)$, respectively. We prove that every surjective isometry $f: S(E) \to S(B)$ admits an extension to a surjective real linear…

It is proved that a commutative algebra $A$ of operators on a reflexive real Banach space has an invariant subspace if each operator $T\in A$ satisfies the condition $$\|1- \varepsilon T^2\|_e \le 1 + o(\varepsilon) \text{ when }…

We analyze reflection positive representations in terms of positive Hankel operators. This is motivated by the fact that positive Hankel operators are described in terms of their Carleson measures, whereas the compatibility condition…

We show that any bounded operator $T$ on a separable, reflexive, infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$ admits a rank one perturbation which has an invariant subspace of infinite dimension and codimension. In the non-reflexive spaces, we…

A Wiener-Hopf operator on a Banach space of functions on R+ is a bounded operator T such that P^+S_{-a}TS_a=T, for every positive a, where S_a is the operator of translation by a. We obtain a representation theorem for the Wiener-Hopf…

A geometric characterization is given for invertible quantum measurement maps. Denote by ${\mathcal S}(H)$ the convex set of all states (i.e., trace-1 positive operators) on Hilbert space $H$ with dim$H\leq \infty$, and $[\rho_1, \rho_2]$…

In recent years the coincidence of the operator relations equivalence after extension (EAE) and Schur coupling (SC) was settled for the Hilbert space case. For Banach space operators, it is known that SC implies EAE, but the converse…
