This paper studies three natural pre-orders of increasing generality on the set of all completely non-unitary partial isometries with equal defect indices. We show that the problem of determining when one partial isometry is less than…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a Hilbert space, $L(\mathcal{H})$ the algebra of bounded linear operators on $\mathcal{H}$ and $W \in L(\mathcal{H})$ a positive operator such that $W^{1/2}$ is in the p-Schatten class, for some $1 \leq p< \infty.$…

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Denote by $\mathrm{PG}(n,q)$ the $n$-dimensional projective space over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of order $q$. A blocking set in $\mathrm{PG}(n,q)$ is a set of points that has non-empty intersection with…

Let $\mathbb F_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements, $G$ a finite cyclic group of order $p^k$ and $p$ is an odd prime with ${\rm gcd}(q,p)=1$. In this article, we determine an explicit expression for the primitive idempotents of $\mathbb…

Let $K$ be a non-polar compact subset of $\mathbb{R}$ and $\mu_K$ denote the equilibrium measure of $K$. Furthermore, let $P_n\left(\cdot, \mu_K\right)$ be the $n$-th monic orthogonal polynomial for $\mu_K$. It is shown that…

A complete system of pairwise orthogonal minimal idempotents for Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebras is obtained by a consecutive evaluation of a rational function in several variables on sequences of quantum contents of up-down tableaux. A…

This paper suggests an algebraic version of the theorem on the existence of eigenvectors for linear operators in abstract idempotent spaces. Earlier, the theorem on the existence of eigenvectors was only known for the cases of a free…

We introduce the notion of spaces with weak relative cohomology and show the acyclicity of the complement $Q\setminus X$ in the Hilbert cube $Q$ of a compactum $X$ with weak relative cohomology. As a corollary we obtain the acyclicity of…

Let $(\mathcal{H}, [\cdot, \cdot ])$ be a Hilbert space and $K(\mathcal{H})$ be the $C^*$-algebra of compact operators on $\mathcal{H}$. In this paper, we present some characterizations of the norm-parallelism for elements of a Hilbert…

Quantum gravity theories predict a minimal length at the order of magnitude of the Planck length, under which the concepts of space and time lose every physical meaning. In quantum mechanics, the insurgence of such minimal length can be…

We construct a recursive formula for a complete system of primitive orthogonal idempotents for any $R$-trivial monoid. This uses the newly proved equivalence between the notions of $R$-trivial monoid and weakly ordered monoid.

We investigate the poset (P(X),\subset), where P(X) is the set of isomorphic suborders of a countable ultrahomogeneous partial order X. For X different from (resp. equal to) a countable antichain the order types of maximal chains in…

We characterize the sets $\XX$ of all products $PQ$, and $\YY$ of all products $PQP$, where $P,Q$ run over all orthogonal projections and we solve the problems $\arg\min\{\|P-Q\|: (P,Q) \in \cal Z\}$, for $\cal Z=\XX$ or $\YY.$ We also…

Using the notion of quantum integers associated with a complex number $q\neq 0$, we define the quantum Hilbert matrix and various extensions. They are Hankel matrices corresponding to certain little $q$-Jacobi polynomials when $|q|<1$, and…

In this paper, we introduce the Dual-minus partial order, get some characterizations of the partial order, and prove that both the dual star partial order and the dual sharp partial order are Dual-minus-type partial orders. Based on the…

We consider the problem of finding orthogonal projections $P$ of a rank $r$ that give rise to representations of the Hecke algebra $H_N(q)$ in which the generators of the algebra act locally on the $N$-th tensor power of the space ${\mathbb…

The conservativity of a minimal quantum dynamical semigroup is proved whenever there exists a ``reference'' subharmonic operator bounded from below by the dissipative part of the infinitesimal generator. We discuss applications of this…

The existence of a minimal observable length has long been suggested, in quantum gravity, as well as in string theory. In this context a generalized uncertainty relation has been derived which quantum theoretically describes the minimal…

A \emph{bipartite monoid} is a commutative monoid $\Q$ together with an identified subset $\P \subset \Q$. In this paper we study a class of bipartite monoids, known as \emph{mis\`ere quotients}, that are naturally associated to impartial…

In this short note, we provide an inequality that holds in any finite group, only involving the orders of the elements; we prove that equality holds if and only if the group is nilpotent.
