The paper introduces a notion of the Laplace operator of a polynomial p in noncommutative variables x=(x_1,...,x_g). The Laplacian Lap[p,h] of p is a polynomial in x and in a noncommuting variable h. When all variables commute we have…

Different estimates for the norm of the self-commutator of a Hilbert space operator are proposed. Particularly, this norm is bounded from above by twice of the area of the numerical range of the operator. An isoperimetric-type inequality is…

Given a nonzero positive operator $A$ on a Hilbert space $\mathbb{H}$, a semi-inner product is naturally induced on $\mathbb{H}$. In this work, we introduce the notion of \emph{$A$-smoothness} for bounded linear operators on the resulting…

In this note we study the completely non unitary contractions on separable complex Hilbert spaces which have polynomial characteristic functions. These operators are precisely those which admit a matrix representation of the form T = S & *…

Let $D$ be an invertible multiplication operator on $L^2(X, \mu)$, and let $A$ be a bounded operator on $L^2(X, \mu)$. In this note we prove that $\|A\|^2 \le \|D A\| \, \|D^{-1} A\|$, where $\|\cdot\|$ denotes the operator norm. If, in…

In the setting of operators on Hilbert spaces, we prove that every quasinilpotent operator has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace if and only if every pair of idempotents with a quasinilpotent commutator has a non-trivial common closed…

In this paper we characterize $m$-isometric and quasi-$m$-isometric weighted conditional type (WCT) operators on the Hilbert space $L^2(\mu)$. Also, we prove that the subclasses of $m$-isometric and quasi-$m$-isometric of normal WCT…

Covering ill-posed problems with compact and non-compact operators regarding the degree of ill-posedness is a never ending story written by many authors in the inverse problems literature. This paper tries to add a new narrative and some…

In this paper, we introduce and study a new class of bounded linear operators on complex Hilbert spaces, which we call 2-C-normal operators. This class is inspired by and closely related to the notion of 2-normal operators, with additional…

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…

We consider norms on a complex separable Hilbert space such that $\langle a\xi,\xi\rangle\leq\|\xi\|^2\leq\langle b\xi,\xi\rangle$ for positive invertible operators $a$ and $b$ that differ by an operator in the Schatten class. We prove that…

Let $V$ be a vector space over a field $\mathbb F$ with scalar product given by a nondegenerate sesquilinear form whose matrix is diagonal in some basis. If $\mathbb F=\mathbb C$, then we give canonical matrices of isometric and selfadjoint…

We generalize the notion of $m$-isometric operator tuples on Hilbert spaces in a natural way to normed spaces. This is done by defining a tuple analogue of $(m,p)$-isometric operators, so-called $(m,p)$-isometric operator tuples. We then…

A Hilbert space operator $S\in\B$ is $n$-quasi left $m$-invertible (resp., left $m$-invertible) by $T\in\B$, $m,n \geq 1$ some integers, if $S^{*n}p(S,T)S^n=0$ (resp., $p(S,T)=0$), where…

In this paper we construct a large class of multiplication operators on reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces which are {\em homogeneous} with respect to the action of the M\"{o}bius group consisting of bi-holomorphic automorphisms of the unit…

We consider a natural notion of equivalence for bounded linear operators on $H^p,$ for $p\neq 2.$ We determine which isometries of finite codimension are equivalent. For these isometries , we classify those which have the Crownover…

We study the numerical range of bounded linear operators on quaternionic Hilbert spaces and its relation with the S-spectrum. The class of complex operators on quaternionic Hilbert spaces is introduced and the upper bild of normal complex…

Each bounded operator T on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space H is a sum of three operators that are similar to positive operators; two such operators are sufficient if T is not a compact perturbation of a scalar. The spectra of L\"uders…

The main goal of this paper is to show that a (not necessarily densely defined or closed) symmetric operator $A$ acting on a real or complex Hilbert space is selfadjoint exactly when $I+A^2$ is a full range operator.
