Let \H_r be the generic type A Hecke algebra defined over \ZZ[u, u^{-1}]. The Kazhdan-Lusztig bases \{C_w\}_{w \in \S_r} and \{C'_w\}_{w \in \S_r} of \H_r give rise to two different bases of the Specht module M_\lambda, \lambda \vdash r, of…

We continue the study of real polynomials acting entrywise on matrices of fixed dimension to preserve positive semidefiniteness, together with the related analysis of order properties of Schur polynomials. Previous work has shown that,…

We investigate the $n$th root problem for bounded operators on a Hilbert space within the class of conditionally positive definite (CPD) operators determined by the L\'evy--Khintchine formula. The class contains subnormal operators,…

In the study of the geometrically regular weighted shifts (GRWS) -- see [5] -- signed power representing measures (which we call Berger-type charges) played an important role. Motivated by their utility in that context, we establish a…

In this article, we study the following quasilinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation involving Hardy potential and Choquard type exponential nonlinearity with a parameter $\alpha$ \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} - \Delta_N w -…

This article explores the relationship between Garding cones, demonstrating that the shift cone $\overline{\Gamma}^{+}_{2}(\alpha)$ is contained in $\overline{\mathcal{P}}_{m}$. By combining these results with the study of positivity…

For a general subcritical second-order elliptic operator $P$ in a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ (or noncompact manifold), we construct Hardy-weight $W$ which is optimal in the following sense. The operator $P - \lambda W$ is…

We analyze (2+1)-dimensional gravity with a Chern--Simons term and a negative cosmological constant, primarily at the weak field level. The full theory is expressible as the sum of two higher derivative SL(2,R) "vector" Chern-Simons terms,…

For 2-variable weighted shifts W_{(\alpha,\beta)}(T_1, T_2) we study the invariance of (joint) k- hyponormality under the action (h,\ell) -> W_{(\alpha,\beta)}^{(h,\ell)}(T_1, T_2):=(T_1^k,T_2^{\ell}) (h,\ell >=1). We show that for every k…

In this paper, we generalize some matrix inequalities involving matrix power and Karcher means of positive definite matrices. Among other inequalities, it is shown that if ${\mathbb A}=(A_{1},...,A_{n})$ is a $n$-tuple of positive definite…

It is shown that for any positive integer n there exists a subnormal weighted shift on a directed tree whose nth power is closed and densely defined while its (n + 1)th power has trivial domain. Similar result for composition operators in…

Let $\mathcal{T}_{+}(E)$ be the tensor algebra of a $W^{*}$-correspondence $E$ over a $W^{*}$-algebra $M$. In earlier work, we showed that the completely contractive representations of $\mathcal{T}_{+}(E)$, whose restrictions to $M$ are…

We solve several problems on frequently hypercyclic operators. Firstly, we characterize frequently hypercyclic weighted shifts on $\ell^p(\mathbb Z)$, $p\geq 1$. Our method uses properties of the difference set of a set with positive upper…

We show that if we start from a symmetric lower semi-bounded Schr\"odinger operator $\mathcal{H}$ on finitely supported functions on a discrete weighted graph (satisfying certain conditions), apply the Friedrichs construction to get a…

For a quasinilpotent operator $T$ on a Banach space $X$, Douglas and Yang defined $k_x=\limsup\limits_{z\rightarrow 0}\frac{\ln\|(z-T)^{-1}x\|}{\ln\|(z-T)^{-1}\|}$ for each nonzero vector $x\in X$, and call $\Lambda(T)=\{k_x: x\ne 0\}$ the…

For the maximal operator $ M $ on $ \mathbb R ^{d}$, and $ 1< p , \rho < \infty $, there is a finite constant $ D = D _{p, \rho }$ so that this holds. For all weights $ w, \sigma $ on $ \mathbb R ^{d}$, the operator $ M (\sigma \cdot )$ is…

This paper develops semiparametric theory for counterfactual distribution, quantile, and lower-tail risk processes under unmeasured confounding using proximal negative-control proxies. Rather than treating each threshold as a separate…

Counterexamples are presented to weighted forms of the Weiss conjecture in discrete and continuous time. In particular, for certain ranges of $\alpha$, operators are constructed that satisfy a given resolvent estimate, but fail to be…

We construct optimal Hardy weights to subcritical energy functionals $h$ associated with quasilinear Schr\"odinger operators on locally finite graphs. Here, optimality means that the weight $w$ is the largest possible with respect to a…

When the backward shift operator on a weighted space $H^2_w=\{f=\sum_{j=0} ^{\infty} a_jz^j : \sum_{j=0}^{\infty} |a_j|^2w_j < \infty\}$ is an $n$-hypercontraction, we prove that the weights must satisfy the inequality $$\frac{w_{j+1}}{w_j}…
