We consider the compactification M(atrix) theory on a Riemann surface Sigma of genus g>1. A natural generalization of the case of the torus leads to construct a projective unitary representation of pi_1(\Sigma), realized on the Hilbert…

Hilbert--Lie groups are Lie groups whose Lie algebra is a real Hilbert space whose scalar product is invariant under the adjoint action. These infinite-dimensional Lie groups are the closest relatives to compact Lie groups. Here we study…

The characteristic function has been an important tool for studying completely non unitary contractions on Hilbert spaces. In this note, we consider completely non-coisometric contractive tuples of commuting operators on a Hilbert space…

In this expository paper we describe the study of certain non-self-adjoint operator algebras, the Hardy algebras, and their representation theory. We view these algebras as algebras of (operator valued) functions on their spaces of…

A Hilbert space operator $U$ is called universal (in the sense of Rota) if every Hilbert space operator is similar to a multiple of $U$ restricted to one of its invariant subspaces. It follows that the Invariant Subspace Problem for Hilbert…

The short-distance singularity of the product of a composite scalar field that deforms a field theory and an arbitrary composite field can be expressed geometrically by the beta functions, anomalous dimensions, and a connection on the…

Let G be a locally compact group, and let U be its unitary representation on a Hilbert space H. Endow the space L(H) of linear bounded operators on H with weak operator topology. We prove that if U is a measurable map from G to L(H) then it…

Let $F$ be a non--Archimedean locally compact field (${\rm car}(F)\geq 0$), ${\bf G}$ be a connected reductive group defined over $F$, $\theta$ be an $F$--automorphism of ${\bf G}$, and $\omega$ be a character of ${\bf G}(F)$. We fix a Haar…

We study analytic models of operators of class $C_{\cdot 0}$ with natural positivity assumptions. In particular, we prove that for an $m$-hypercontraction $T \in C_{\cdot 0}$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, there exists a Hilbert space…

This paper is a follow-up contribution to our work [20] where we discussed some invariant subspace results for contractions on Hilbert spaces. Here we extend the results of [20] to the context of n-tuples of bounded linear operators on…

In this paper, the concept of Birkhoff--James orthogonality of operators on a Hilbert space is generalized when a semi-inner product is considered. More precisely, for linear operators $T$ and $S$ on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, a…

We derive various properties of symmetric product orbifolds of $T\bar{T}$ and $J\bar{T}$ - deformed CFTs from a field-theoretical perspective. First, we generalise the known formula for the torus partition function of a symmetric orbifold…

The main issue we address in the present paper are the new models for completely non-unitary contractions with rank one defect operators acting on some Hilbert space of dimension $N\leq\infty$. This model complements nicely the well-known…

For a semibounded sesquilinear form ${\mathfrak t}$ in a Hilbert space ${\mathfrak H}$ there exists a representing map $Q$ from ${\mathfrak H}$ to another Hilbert space ${\mathfrak K}$, such that ${\mathfrak t}[\varphi, \psi]-c(\varphi,…

We argue that Hopf-algebra deformations of symmetries -- as encountered in non-commutative models of quantum spacetime -- carry an intrinsic content of $operator$ $entanglement$ that is enforced by the coproduct-defined notion of composite…

In the context of finite tensor products of Hilbert spaces, we prove that similarity of a tensor product of operator semigroups to a contraction semigroup is equivalent to the corresponding similarity for each factor, after an appropriate…

We develop a dilation theory for row contractions subject to constraints determined by sets of noncommutative polynomials. Under natural conditions on the constraints, we have uniqueness for the minimal dilation. A characteristic function…

We study the generalization of $m$-isometries and $m$-contractions (for positive integers $m$) to what we call $a$-isometries and $a$-contractions for positive real numbers $a$. We show that any Hilbert space operator, satisfying an…

A particular case of results from [K2] is as follows. Let the unitary asymptote of a contraction $T$ contain the bilateral shift (of finite or infinite multiplicity). Then there exists an invariant subspace $\mathcal M$ of $T$ such that…

A bounded linear operator $T$ on a separable complex Hilbert space $H$ is called $C$-normal if there is a conjugation $C$ on $H$ such that $ CT^\ast TC=TT^\ast$. Let $\varphi$ be a linear fractional self-map of $\mathbb{D}$. In this paper,…
