We aim to find conditions on two Hilbert space operators $A$ and $B$ under which the expression $AX-XB$ having low rank forces the operator $X$ itself to admit a good low rank approximation. It is known that this can be achieved when $A$…

Let p be a polynomial in one variable. It is shown that the universal C*-algebra of the relation p(x)=0, \|x\| \le C is semiprojective, residually finite-dimensional and has trivial extension group.

This note concerns bounded derivations on maximal triangular operator algebras on a Hilbert space. Given any bounded derivation $\delta$ on a maximal triangular algebra whose invariant lattice is continuous at 1, an operator which is shown…

Considering the deeper reasons of the appearance of a remarkable counterexample by J.~Kaad and M.~Skeide [17] we consider situations in which two Hilbert C*-modules $M \subset N$ with $M^\bot = \{ 0 \}$ over a fixed C*-algebra $A$ of…

We study contractive projections, isometries, and real positive maps on algebras of operators on a Hilbert space. For example we find generalizations and variants of certain classical results on contractive projections on C*-algebras and…

This paper studies the problems of embedding and isomorphism for countably generated Hilbert C*-modules over commutative C*-algebras. When the fibre dimensions differ sufficiently, relative to the dimension of the spectrum, we show that…

We presented a systematic treatment of a Hilbert criterion for stability theory for an action of a real reductive group $G$ on a real submanifold $X$ of a K\"ahler manifold $Z$. More precisely, we suppose the action of a compact connected…

Let A be a unital simple separable C*-algebra with strict comparison of positive elements. We prove that the Cuntz semigroup of A is recovered functorially from the Murray-von Neumann semigroup and the tracial state space T(A) whenever the…

In this article we consider means of positive bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space. We present a complete theory that provides a framework which extends the theory of the Karcher mean, its approximating matrix power means, and a…

We study the existence of solutions in Hilbert space $H$ of the semilinear equation \[ L u+N(u)=h, \] where $L$ is linear self-adjoint, $N$ is a nonlinear operator and $h\in H$. We concentrate on the case when $0$ is a right boundary point…

Let X be a Hilbert bimodule over a C*-algebra A and $O_X= A \rtimes_X \Z$. Using a finite section method we construct a sequence of completely positive contractions factoring through matrix algebras over A which act on $s_{\xi} s_{\eta}^*$…

Let $V\subseteq A$ be a conformal inclusion of vertex operator algebras and let $\mathcal{C}$ be a category of grading-restricted generalized $V$-modules that admits the vertex algebraic braided tensor category structure of…

This paper is devoted to the study of the existence of positive solutions for a problem related to a higher order fractional differential equation involving a nonlinear term depending on a fractional differential operator,…

It is necessary to calculate the C operator for the non-Hermitian PT-symmetric Hamiltonian H=\half p^2+\half\mu^2x^2-\lambda x^4 in order to demonstrate that H defines a consistent unitary theory of quantum mechanics. However, the C…

The paper is concerned with the following question: if $A$ and $B$ are two bounded operators between Hilbert spaces $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{K}$, and $\mathcal{M}$ and $\mathcal{N}$ are two closed subspaces in $\mathcal{H}$, when will…

Given a topological group $G$ and a unitary representation $U$ of $G$, we consider the problem of classifying the positive operator measures which are based on a $G$-homogeneous space $X$ and covariant with respect to the representation…

We study operator algebras arising from monomial ideals in the ring of polynomials in noncommuting variables, through the apparatus of subproduct systems and C*-correspondences. We provide a full comparison amongst the related operator…

We describe a general technique to study Dirac operators on noncommutative spaces under some additional assumptions. The main idea is to capture the compact resolvent condition in a combinatorial set up. Using this, we then prove that for a…

This note seeks to prove the existence of a canonical solution operator to the $\bar\partial$-equation that preserves H\"older regularity on product domains. It is a well known fact that such solution operators do not in general gain…

For a separable complex Hilbert space $H$, we say that a bounded linear operator $T$ acting on $H$ is $C$-normal, where $C$ is a conjugation on $H$, if it satisfies $CT^*TC=TT^*$. For a normal operator, we give geometric conditions which…
