We compute the deficiency spaces of operators of the form $H_A{\hat{\otimes}} I + I{\hat{\otimes}} H_B$, for symmetric $H_A$ and self-adjoint $H_B$. This enables us to construct self-adjoint extensions (if they exist) by means of von…

This paper solves the rational noncommutative analog of Hilbert's 17th problem: if a noncommutative rational function is positive semidefinite on all tuples of hermitian matrices in its domain, then it is a sum of hermitian squares of…

In this paper, we consider an unbounded selfadjoint operator $A$ and its selfadjoint perturbations in the same Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. As S.Albeverio and P. Kurosov (2000), we call a selfadjoint operator $A_{1}$ the singular…

Let $(G,\tau)$ be a finite-dimensional Lie group with an involutive automorphism $\tau$ of $G$ and let $\mathfrak g = \mathfrak h \oplus \mathfrak q $ be its corresponding Lie algebra decomposition. We show that every non-degenerate…

We study a nonlinear decomposition of a positive definite matrix into two components: the inverse of another positive definite matrix and a symmetric matrix constrained to lie in a prescribed linear subspace. Equivalently, the inverse…

An arbitrary Mueller matrix can be decomposed into a sum of up to four deterministic Mueller-Jones matrices, with strengths given by the eigenvalues of an associated Hermitian matrix. A geometrical representation of the eigenvalues in terms…

We study representations of Hilbert bimodules on pairs of Hilbert spaces. If $A$ is a C*-algebra and $\mathsf{X}$ is a right Hilbert $A$-module, we use such representations to faithfully represent the C*-algebras $\mathcal{K}_A(\mathsf{X})$…

In this paper first we give a partial answer to a question of L. Moln\'ar and W. Timmermann. Namely, we will describe those linear (not necessarily bijective) transformations on the set of self-adjoint matrices which preserve a unitarily…

We will construct a non-separable Hilbert space for which the inhomogeneous ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ acts on it unitarily. Each vector in this Hilbert space is described by a (rectangular) space-like surface in $\mathbb{R}^4$, for which a…

In this survey paper we study the relationships between the coarse moduli space which parameterizes the finite dimensional linear representations of an associative alegebra, the non commutative hilbert scheme and the affine scheme which is…

Non-self-adjoint Schrodinger operators A which correspond to non-symmetric zero-range potentials are investigated. For a given A, the description of non-real eigenvalues, spectral singularities and exceptional points are obtained; the…

The Wigner-Eckart theorem is a well known result for tensor operators of su(2) and, more generally, any compact Lie algebra. In this paper the theorem will be generalized to the particular non-compact case of sl(2,R). In order to do so,…

Let $T$ be a closed linear relation from a Hilbert space ${\mathfrak H}$ to a Hilbert space ${\mathfrak K}$ and let $B \in \mathbf{B}({\mathfrak K})$ be selfadjoint. It will be shown that the relation $T^{*}(I+iB)T$ is maximal sectorial via…

This article discusses the representation theory of noncommutative algebras reality-based algebras with positive degree map over their field of definition. When the standard basis contains exactly two nonreal elements, the main result…

We extend the operations of shorting and parallel addition from the cone of bounded nonnegative selfadjoint operators in a Hilbert space to the set of all nonnegative selfadjoint linear relations. New properties of these operations and…

A real Lie algebra with a compatible Hilbert space structure (in the sense that the scalar product is invariant) is called a Hilbert-Lie algebra. Such Lie algebras are natural infinite-dimensional analogues of the compact Lie algebras; in…

For a real affine hyperplane arrangement, we define an integer intersection matrix with a natural $q$-deformation related to the intersections of bounded chambers of the arrangement. By connecting the integer matrix to a bilinear form of…

In this paper we explore a certain class of non-selfadjoint operators acting in a complex separable Hilbert space. We consider a perturbation of a non-selfadjoint operator by an operator that is also non-selfadjoint. Our consideration is…

We provide a simple recipe for obtaining all self-adjoint extensions, together with their resolvent, of the symmetric operator $S$ obtained by restricting the self-adjoint operator $A:\D(A)\subseteq\H\to\H$ to the dense, closed with respect…

In this paper a new general approach is developed to construct and study Lebesgue type decompositions of linear operators $T$ in the Hilbert space setting. The new approach allows to introduce an essentially wider class of Lebesgue type…
