The celebrated Sz.-Nagy and Foias and Ando theorems state that a single contraction, or a pair of commuting contractions, acting on a Hilbert space always possesses isometric dilation and subsequently satisfies the von Neumann inequality…

A certain topological field theory is shown to be equivalent to the compactified c=1 string. This theory is described in both Kazama-Suzuki coset and Landau-Ginzburg formulations. The genus-g partition function and genus-0 multi-tachyon…

Using the equivalence between Scherk-Schwarz reductions and twisted tori compactifications, we discuss the effective theories obtained by this procedure from M-theory and N =4 type II orientifold constructions with Neveu-Schwarz and…

Zaharopol proved the following result: let $T,S:L^1(X,{\cf},\m)\to L^1(X,{\cf},\m)$ be two positive contractions such that $T\leq S$. If $\|S-T\|<1$ then $\|S^n-T^n\|<1$ for all $n\in\bn$. In the present paper we generalize this result to…

We show that recent results of U. Baumgartner and G.A. Willis concerning contraction groups of automorphisms of metrizable, totally disconnected, locally compact groups remain valid also in the non-metrizable case, if one restricts…

We find the bosonic sector of the gauged supergravities that are obtained from 11-dimensional supergravity by Scherk-Schwarz dimensional reduction with flux to any dimension D. We show that, if certain obstructions are absent, the…

The first variant of this article contained a fatal error. Therefore, we publish second version our paper. In the present paper, we prove that the curvature operator of the second kind of a Riemannian manifold is strictly positive if its…

If $Au=-div(a(x,Du))$ is a monotone operator defined on the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(R^n)$, $1<p<+\infty$, with $a(x,0)=0$ for a.e. $x\in R^n$, the capacity $C_A(E,F)$ relative to $A$ can be defined for every pair $(E,F)$ of bounded sets in…

Let (\mathscr{F}) be the one dimensional Fourier-Plancherel operator and (E) be a subset of the real axis. The truncated Fourier operator is the operator (\mathscr{F}_E) of the form (\mathscr{F}_E=P_E\mathscr{F}P_E), where…

This article investigates the convergence properties of s-numbers of certain truncations of bounded linear operators between Banach spaces. We prove a generalized version of a known convergence result for the approximation numbers of…

Following Beurling's theorem the natural compressions of the multiplication operator in the classical $L^2$ space are compressions to model spaces and to their orthogonal complements. Two possibly different model spaces are considered hence…

We adopt an operator-theoretic perspective to analyze a class of nonlinear fixed-point iterations and discrete-time dynamical systems. Specifically, we study the Krasnoselskij iteration - at the heart of countless algorithmic schemes and…

We develop a dilation theory for row contractions subject to constraints determined by sets of noncommutative polynomials. Under natural conditions on the constraints, we have uniqueness for the minimal dilation. A characteristic function…

Absolute continuity of polynomially bounded $n$-tuples of commuting contractions is studied. A necessary and sufficient condition is found in Constantin Apostol's "weakened $C_{0,\cdot}$ assumption", asserting the convergence to 0 of the…

We consider one-frequency analytic SL(2,R) cocycles. Our main result establishes the Almost Reducibility Conjecture in the case of exponentially Liouville frequencies. Together with our earlier work, this implies that all cocycles close to…

This paper presents Wold-type decomposition for various pairs of twisted contractions on Hilbert spaces. As a consequence, we obtain Wold-type decomposition for pairs of doubly twisted isometries and in particular, new and simple proof of…

We introduce the notion of characteristic functions for commuting tuples of hypercontractions on Hilbert spaces, as a generalization of the notion of Sz.-Nagy and Foias characteristic functions of contractions. We present an explicit method…

In this paper, we present a variant of Boyd-Wong fixed point theorem in a metric space equipped with a locally T-transitive binary relation, which under universal relation reduces to Boyd-Wong (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 20 (1969) 458-464) and…

We show that finitely subgraded Lie algebras of compact operators have invariant subspaces when conditions of quasinilpotence are imposed on certain components of the subgrading. This allows us to obtain some useful information about the…

It is well known that unital contractive representations of the disk algebra are completely contractive. Let A denote the subalgebra of the disk algebra consisting of those functions f whose first derivative vanishes at 0. We prove that…
