In this study, the classical results on the joint numerical radius for $n$-tuples of Hilbert space operators are extended to the setting of the joint $(f,\delta)$-numerical radius. New and diverse contributions to this area are provided,…

A finite dimensional system with a quadratic Hamiltonian constraint is Dirac quantized in holomorphic, antiholomorphic and mixed representations. A unique inner product is found by imposing Hermitian conjugacy relations on an operator…

Let $ {\mathbf k} $ be a field and $Q\in {\mathbf k}[x_1, \ldots, x_s]$ a form (homogeneous polynomial) of degree $d>1.$ The ${\mathbf k}$-Schmidt rank $rk_{\mathbf k}(Q)$ of $Q$ is the minimal $r$ such that $Q= \sum_{i=1}^r R_iS_i$ with…

We study different operator radii of homomorphisms from an operator algebra into $B(H)$ and show that these can be computed explicitly in terms of the usual norm. As an application, we show that if $\Omega$ is a $K$-spectral set for a…

We show that if $\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_k$ are algebraic numbers, then $$|A+\lambda_1\cdot A+\dots+\lambda_k\cdot A|\geq H(\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_k)|A|-o(|A|)$$ for all finite subsets $A$ of $\mathbb{C}$, where…

We show that the set of all possible constant diagonals of a bounded Hilbert space operator is always convex. This, in particular, answers an open question of J.-C. Bourin ($2003$). Moreover, we show that the joint numerical range of a…

We revisit the duality between type I' and heterotic strings in 9 dimensions. We resolve a puzzle about the validity of type I' perturbation theory and show that there are regions in moduli which are not within the reach of type I'…

Motivated by applications of the discrete random Schr\"odinger operator, mathematical physicists and analysts, began studying more general Anderson-type Hamiltonians; that is, the family of self-adjoint operators $$H_\omega = H + V_\omega$$…

Suppose A and B are unital C*-algebras and A is separable. Let Rep(A,B) denote the set of all unital *-homomorphisms from A to B with the topology of pointwise convergence. We consider the problem of when the closure of the unitary orbit of…

K-Theory for hermitian symmetric spaces of non-compact type, as developed recently by the authors, allows to put Cartan's classification into a homological perspective. We apply this method to the case of inductive limits of finite…

For a positive trace-class operator $C$ and a bounded operator $A$, we provide an explicit description of the closure of the orbit-closed $C$-numerical range of $A$ in terms of those operators submajorized by $C$ and the essential numerical…

The paper is devoted to the problem of classification of extremal positive maps acting between $B(K)$ and $B(H)$ where $K$ and $H$ are Hilbert spaces. It is shown that every positive map with the property that $\rank \phi(P)\leq 1$ for any…

We use geometry of Davis complex of a Coxeter group to prove the following result: if G is an infinite indecomposable Coxeter group and $H\subset G$ is a finite index reflection subgroup then the rank of H is not less than the rank of G.…

We prove that the properties of acting metrically properly on some space with walls or some CAT(0) cube complex are closed by taking the wreath product with \Z. We also give a lower bound for the (equivariant) Hilbert space compression of…

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…

We prove that if $n$ closed disks $D_1, D_2, ..., D_n$, of the Riemann sphere are spectral sets for a bounded linear operator $A$ on a Hilbert space, then their intersection $D_1\cap D_2...\cap D_n$ is a complete $K$-spectral set for $A$,…
