Antilinear operators on a complex Hilbert space arise in various contexts in mathematical physics. In this paper, an analogue of the Weyl--von Neumann theorem for antilinear self-adjoint operators is proved, i.e. that an antilinear…
We expand on an idea of Vinberg to take a tensor space and the natural Lie algebra that acts on it and embed their direct sum into an auxiliary algebra. Viewed as endomorphisms of this algebra, we associate adjoint operators to tensors. We…
We describe a canonical form for linear differential operators that are formally self-adjoint or formally skew-adjoint.
We find simple conditions for a non-negative Hankel quadratic form to be closable. Under some mild a priori assumption on the associated moments these sufficient conditions turn out to be also necessary. We also describe the domain of the…
Our goal is to compare various results for Toeplitz $T$ and Hankel $H$ operators. We consider semibounded operators and find necessary and sufficient conditions for their quadratic forms to be closable. This property allows one to define…
We study operator algebras associated to integral domains. In particular, with respect to a set of natural identities we look at the possible nonselfadjoint operator algebras which encode the ring structure of an integral domain. We show…
Sz.-Nagy's famous theorem states that a bounded operator $T$ which acts on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is similar to a unitary operator if and only if $T$ is invertible and both $T$ and $T^{-1}$ are power bounded. There is an…
We give a counterexample to the following theorem of Bremermann on Shilov boundaries: if $D$ is a bounded domain in $\mathbb C^n$ having a univalent envelope of holomorphy, say $\widetilde D$, then the Shilov boundary of $D$ with respect to…
In this expository paper we answer two fundamental questions concerning discrete magnetic Schr\"odinger operator associated with weighted graphs. We discuss when formal expressions of such operators give rise to self-adjoint operators,…
We are concerned in this paper with the real eigenfunctions of Schr\"odinger operators. We prove an asymptotic upper bound for the number of their nodal domains, which implies in particular that the inequality stated in Courant's theorem is…
Given a bounded selfadjoint operator W on a Krein space H and a closed subspace S of H, the Schur complement of W to S is defined under the hypothesis of weak complementability. A variational characterization of the Schur complement is…
We develop the concept of operators in Hilbert spaces which are similar to their adjoints via antiunitary operators, the latter being not necessarily involutive. We discuss extension theory, refined polar and singular-value decompositions,…
A simple proof is provided to show that any bounded normal operator on a real Hilbert space is orthogonally equivalent to its transpose(adjoint). A structure theorem for invertible skew-symmetric operators, which is analogous to the finite…
We study Schr\"odinger operators on compact finite metric graphs subject to $\delta$-coupling and standard boundary conditions. We compare the $n$-th eigenvalues of those self-adjoint realizations and derive an asymptotic result for the…
Affiliated and normal operators in octonion Hilbert spaces are studied. Theorems about their properties and of related algebras are demonstrated. Spectra of unbounded normal operators are investigated.
We investigate the properties of bounded operators which satisfy a certain spectral additivity condition, and use our results to study Lie and Jordan algebras of compact operators. We prove that these algebras have nontrivial invariant…
Jordan operator algebras are norm-closed spaces of operators on a Hilbert space which are closed under the Jordan product. The discovery of the present paper is that there exists a huge and tractable theory of possibly nonselfadjoint Jordan…
We study the essential self-adjointness of semi-bounded Schr\"{o}dinger operators on birth-death chains. First, we offer a general characterization which originates from studying a second order linear recurrence with variational…
The Chernoff bound is one of the most widely used tools in theoretical computer science. It's rare to find a randomized algorithm that doesn't employ a Chernoff bound in its analysis. The standard proofs of Chernoff bounds are beautiful but…
For a wide class of pairs of unbounded selfadjoint operators with bounded commutator we construct a K-theoretical integer invariant which is continuous, is equal to zero for commuting operators and is equal to one for the pair (x, i d/dx).
