Let $C$ be a conjugation on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. A densely defined linear operator $A$ on $\mathcal{H}$ is called $C$-symmetric if $CAC\subseteq A^*$ and $C$-self-adjoint if $CAC=A^*$. Our main results describe all…

In this paper we consider A-Fredholm and semi-A-Fredholm operators on Hilbert C*-modules over a W*-algebra A defined in [3],[10]. Using the assumption that A is a W*-algebra (and not an arbitrary C*-algebra), we obtain several results such…

For Hilbert spaces $\mathcal H\subseteq L^2(\mathbb R)$ we consider the convex sets $\mathcal D_+(\mathcal H)$ of Wigner-positive states (WPS), i.e.~density matrices over $\mathcal H$ with non-negative Wigner function. We investigate the…

We consider an abstract sequence $\{A_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ of closed symmetric operators on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. It is assumed that all $A_n$'s have equal deficiency indices $(k,k)$ and thus self-adjoint extensions…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a non-Archimedean (complete) valued field satisfying \begin{align*} \left|\sum_{j=1}^{n}\lambda_j^2\right|=\max_{1\leq j \leq n}|\lambda_j|^2, \quad \forall \lambda_j \in \mathbb{K}, 1\leq j \leq n, \forall n \in…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a Hilbert space, $L(\mathcal{H})$ the algebra of bounded linear operators on $\mathcal{H}$ and $W \in L(\mathcal{H})$ a positive operator. Given a closed subspace $\mathcal{S}$ of $\mathcal{H}$, we characterize the…

Let $\Omega$ be a convex open set in $\mathbb R^n$ and let $\Lambda_k$ be a finite subset of $\Omega$. We find necessary geometric conditions for $\Lambda_k$ to be interpolating for the space of multivariate polynomials of degree at most…

In this notes unbounded regular operators on Hilbert $C^*$-modules over arbitrary $C^*$-algebras are discussed. A densely defined operator $t$ possesses an adjoint operator if the graph of $t$ is an orthogonal summand. Moreover, for a…

The joint numerical range $W(F)$ of three hermitian $3$-by-$3$ matrices $F=(F_1,F_2,F_3)$ is a convex and compact subset in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Generically we find that $W(F)$ is a three-dimensional oval. Assuming $\dim(W(F))=3$, every one- or…

Convex geometry is a closure space $(G,\phi)$ with the anti-exchange property. A classical result of Edelman and Jamison (1985) claims that every finite convex geometry is a join of several linear sub-geometries, and the smallest number of…

Using the bicomplex numbers $\mathbb{T}$ which is a commutative ring with zero divisors defined by $\mathbb{T}=\{w_0 + w_1 i_1 + w_2 i_2 + w_3 j | w_0, w_1, w_2, w_3 \in \mathbb{R}\}$ where $i_{1}^{2} = -1, i_{2}^{2} = -1, j^2 = 1, i_1 i_2…

In this paper, we aim to introduce and characterize the concept of numerical radius orthogonality of operators on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ which are bounded with respect to the semi-norm induced by a positive operator $A$ on…

We present a novel technical method for analyzing the hidden convex structure embedded in the joint range of a quadratic mapping defined on a Hilbert space. Our approach stands out by relying exclusively on elementary mathematical…

We describe continuity properties of the multivalued inverse of the numerical range map $f_A:x \mapsto \left\langle Ax, x \right\rangle$ associated with a linear operator $A$ defined on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. We prove in…

In general, it is a non trivial task to determine the adjoint $S^*$ of an unbounded operator $S$ acting between two Hilbert spaces. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a given operator $T$ to be identical with $S^*$. In our…

In this paper we compute the closure of the numerical range of certain periodic tridiagonal operators. This is achieved by showing that the closure of the numerical range of such operators can be expressed as the closure of the convex hull…

The main result (roughly) is that if (H_i) converges weakly to H and if also f(H_i) converges weakly to f(H), for a single strictly convex continuous function f, then (H_i) must converge strongly to H. One application is that if f(pr(H)) =…

A linear operator on a Hilbert space $\mathbb{H}$, in the classical approach of von Neumann, must be symmetric to guarantee self-adjointness. However, it can be shown that the symmetry could be ommited by using a criterion for the graph of…

We consider skew-symmetric operators $A_{0}$ on a Hilbert space $H$ and characterise all (nonlinear) m-accretive restrictions of $A:=-A_{0}^{\ast}$ in terms of the "deficiency spaces" $\ker(1\pm A)$. The results are illustrated by several…

We extend to infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces a celebrated result, due to B. Polyak, about the convexity of the joint image of quadratic functions. We give sufficient conditions which assure that the joint image is also closed. However,…
