Given a symmetric linear transformation on a Hilbert space, a natural problem to consider is the characterization of its set of symmetric extensions. This problem is equivalent to the study of the partial isometric extensions of a fixed…

In this paper we characterize those positive operators which are asymptotic limits of contractions in strong operator topology or uniform topology. We examine the problem when the asymptotic limits of two contractions coincide.

Let $\mathbf{A}$ be a bounded self-adjoint operator on a separable Hilbert space $\mathfrak{H}$ and $\mathfrak{H}_0\subset\mathfrak{H}$ a closed invariant subspace of $\mathbf{A}$. Assuming that $\mathfrak{H}_0$ is of codimension 1, we…

We study discrete Schroedinger operators $(H_{\alpha,\theta}\psi)(n)= \psi(n-1)+\psi(n+1)+f(\alpha n+\theta)\psi(n)$ on $l^2(Z)$, where $f(x)$ is a real analytic periodic function of period 1. We prove a general theorem relating the measure…

In this paper, we investigate the invertibility of $I_Y+\delta TT^+$ when $T$ is a closed operator from $X$ to $Y$ with a generalized inverse $T^+$ and $\delta T$ is a linear operator whose domain contains $D(T)$ and range is contained in…

Given a complex, separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we characterize those operators for which $\| P T (I-P) \| = \| (I-P) T P \|$ for all orthogonal projections $P$ on $\mathcal{H}$. When $\mathcal{H}$ is finite-dimensional, we also…

We consider a polyharmonic operator $H=(-\Delta)^l+V(x)$ in dimension two with $l\geq 6$, $l$ being an integer, and a limit-periodic potential $V(x)$. We prove that the spectrum contains a semiaxis of absolutely continuous spectrum.

Denote by $T_n^d(A)$ an upper triangular operator matrix of dimension $n$ whose diagonal entries $D_i$ are known, where $A=(A_{ij})_{1\leq i<j\leq n}$ is an unknown tuple of operators. This article is aimed at investigation of defect…

Let $H_1$ and $H_2$ be complex Hilbert spaces and $T:H_1\rightarrow H_2$ be a bounded linear operator. We say $T$ to be norm attaining, if there exists $x\in H_1$ with $\|x\|=1$ such that $\|Tx\|=\|T\|$. If for every closed subspace $M$ of…

This article is to give an infinite dimensional analogue of a result of Choi and Effros. We say that an (not necessarily unital) operator system $T$ is \emph{dualizable} if one can find an equivalent dual matrix norm on the dual space $T^*$…
