This paper builds on our earlier proposal for construction of a positive inner product for pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians and we give several examples to clarify our method. We show through the example of the harmonic oscillator how our…

On finite dimensional spaces, it is apparent that an operator is the product of two positive operators if and only if it is similar to a positive operator. Here, the class ${\mathcal L}^{+2}$ of bounded operators on separable infinite…

We classify affine operators on a unitary or Euclidean space U up to topological conjugacy. An affine operator is a map f: U-->U of the form f(x)=Ax+b, in which A: U-->U is a linear operator and b in U. Two affine operators f and g are said…

We analyze some features of alternative Hermitian and quasi-Hermitian quantum descriptions of simple and bipartite compound systems. We show that alternative descriptions of two interacting subsystems are possible if and only if the metric…

We give a formula for the inner product of forms on a Hermitian vector space in terms of linear combinations of iterates of the adjoint of the Lefschetz operator. As an application, we reprove the Kobayashi-Lubke inequality for…

Let $\mathcal A:U\to V$ be a linear mapping between vector spaces $U$ and $V$ over a field or skew field $\mathbb F$ with symmetric, or skew-symmetric, or Hermitian forms $\mathcal B:U\times U\to\mathbb F$ and $\mathcal C:V\times…

Given an Archimedean order unit space (V,V^+,e), we construct a minimal operator system OMIN(V) and a maximal operator system OMAX(V), which are the analogues of the minimal and maximal operator spaces of a normed space. We develop some of…

We present a systematic perturbative construction of the most general metric operator (and positive-definite inner product) for quasi-Hermitian Hamiltonians of the standard form, H= p^2/2 + v(x), in one dimension. We show that this problem…

We describe a canonical form for linear differential operators that are formally self-adjoint or formally skew-adjoint.

A common optimization problem is the minimization of a symmetric positive definite quadratic form $< x,Tx >$ under linear constrains. The solution to this problem may be given using the Moore-Penrose inverse matrix. In this work we extend…

A unital $C^*$-algebra is called $N$-subhomogeneous if its irreducible representations are finite dimensional with dimension at most $N$. We extend this notion to operator systems, replacing irreducible representations by boundary…

An explicit formula is given for a fundamental solution for a class of semielliptic operators. The fundamental solution is used to investigate properties of these operators as mappings between weighted function spaces. Necessary and…

We give a generalization of the Hodge operator to spaces $(V,h)$ endowed with a hermitian or symmetric bilinear form $h$ over arbitrary fields, including the characteristic two case. Suitable exterior powers of $V$ become free modules over…

We give the pullback formula for vector-valued Hermitian modular forms on CM field. We also give the equivalent condition for a differential operator on Hermitian modular forms to preserve the automorphic properties.

We study hermitian operators and isometries on spaces of vector-valued Lipschitz maps with the sum norm: $\|\cdot\|_{\infty}+L(\cdot)$. There are two main theorems in this paper. Firstly, we prove that every hermitian operator on…

We describe how self-adjoint ordered operator spaces, also called non-unital operator systems in the literature, can be understood as $*$-vector spaces equipped with a matrix gauge structure. We explain how this perspective has several…
