We prove, under certain conditions, the existence of zeros for a weakly continuous operator on a paracompact topological space into the dual of a Banach space.

In this work we present necessary cancellation conditions for the continuity of linear operators in $h^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$, $0<p\leq 1$, that map atoms into pseudo-molecules. Our necessary condition, expressed in terms of the $T^{\ast}$…

In this paper we prove existence of (viscosity) solutions of Dirichlet problems concerning fully nonlinear elliptic operator, which are either degenerate or singular when the gradient of the solution is zero. For this class of operators it…

An expansive, monotone operator is dominating; if it is also idempotent it is a closure operator. Although they have distinct properties, these two kinds of discrete operators are also intertwined. Every closure operator is dominating;…

For any bounded measurable function $f$ on the unit ball $B_n$, let $T_f$ be the Toeplitz operator with symbol $f$ acting on the Bergman space $A^2(B_n)$. The Zero-Product Problem asks: if $f_1,..., f_N$ are bounded measurable functions…

We prove a conjecture of P. Guillon and G. Richard by showing that cellular automata that eventually fix all cells to a fixed symbol 0 are nilpotent on S^Z^d for all d. We also briefly discuss nilpotency on other subshifts, and show that…

It is proved that the derived subgroup of a finite group is nilpotent if and only if $|ab|\ge |a||b|$ for all primary commutators $a$ and $b$ of coprime orders.

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 present new conditions for semigroups of positive operators to converge strongly as time tends to infinity. Our proofs are based on a novel approach combining the well-known splitting theorem by Jacobs, de Leeuw and Glicksberg with a…

An operator connection is a binary operation assigned to each pair of positive operators satisfying monotonicity, continuity from above and the transformer inequality. In this paper, we introduce and characterize the concepts of…

The purpose of this paper is two-fold: firstly, we give a characterization on the level of non-unital operator systems for when the zero map is a boundary representation. As a consequence, we show that a non-unital operator system arising…

In this paper, we show a new and classic version of the celebrated Fuglede Theorem in an unbounded setting. A related counterexample is equally presented. In the second strand of the paper, we give a pair of a closed and self-adjoint…

For abstract linear systems in Hilbert spaces we revisit the problems of exact controllability and complete stabilizability (stabilizability with an arbitrary decay rate), the latter property is equivalent to exact null controllability. We…

Tom Leinster gave a bijective correspondence between the set of operators on a finite-dimensional vector space $V$ and the set of pairs consisting of a nilpotent operator and a vector in $V$. Over a finite field this bijection implies that…

The primary purpose of this paper is to show the existence of normal square and nth roots of some classes of bounded operators on Hilbert spaces. Two interesting simple results hold. Namely, under simple conditions we show that if any…

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.

We consider a quasinilpotent operator whose resolvent is entire operator function of exponential type. Let A be its one-dimensional perturbation. We establish necessity of Muckenhoupt condition (A2) for two weights related to operator A for…

We show that any finite set of linear partial differential operators with continuous coefficients is linearly dependent if and only if it is locally linearly dependent. It follows that the reflexive closure of any finite set of such…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition on a positive compact operator $T$ for the existence of a singular trace (i.e. a trace vanishing on the finite rank operators) which takes a finite non-zero value on $T$. This generalizes…

Every real Bank-Laine function of finite order, whose zeros are all real but neither bounded above nor bounded below, either has an explicit representation in terms of trigonometric functions or has zeros with exponent of convergence at…
