This article, addressed to a general audience of functional analysts, is intended to be an illustration of a few basic principles from `noncommutative functional analysis', more specifically the new field of {\em operator spaces.} In our…

Let $Z_\alpha$ be a positive $\alpha-$stable random variable and $r\in{\bf R}.$ We show the existence of an unbounded open domain $D$ in $[1/2,1]\times{\bf R}$ with a cusp at $(1/2,-1/2)$, characterized by the complete monotonicity of the…

An expansive, monotone operator is dominating; if it is also idempotent it is a closure operator. Although they have distinct properties, these two kinds of discrete operators are also intertwined. Every closure operator is dominating;…

The formalism which has been developed to give general expressions for the determinants of differential operators is extended to the physically interesting situation where these operators have a zero mode which has been extracted. In the…

We present a description of the (non-modular) commutator, inspired by that of Kearnes in~\cite[p.~930]{MR1358491}, that provides a simple recipe for computing the commutator.

We characterize symbolic powers of prime ideals in polynomial rings over any field in terms of $\mathbb{Z}$-linear differential operators, and of prime ideals in polynomial rings over complete discrete valuation rings with a $p$-derivation…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, $A = K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ the polynomial ring, $R = K(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ the field of rational functions, and let $W_n(K) = \Der_{K}A$ be the Lie algebra of all $K$-derivations on…

Let theta = p/q with p and q relatively prime and u and v a pair of unitaries such that u v = e^{i theta} v u, where u and v generate the rotation C*-algebra A_theta. Let h_{theta, lambda} = u + u^{-1} + lambda/2(v + v^{-1}) be the almost…

We study some factorisation and dilation properties of completely positive maps on noncommutative L^p-spaces. We show that Akcoglu's dilation theorem for positive contractions on classical (=commutative) L^p-spaces has no reasonable analog…

For a smooth variety $Y$ over a perfect field of positive characteristic, the sheaf $D_Y$ of crystalline differential operators on $Y$ (also called the sheaf of $PD$-differential operators) is known to be an Azumaya algebra over $T^*_{Y'},$…

This papers studies centralizers of an element, $a$, in the nucleus of a non-associative algebra with a special type of valuation. We prove that the centralizer of $a$ is a free module of finite rank over the algebra generated by $a$.

It is shown that the quantized Teichm"uller spaces have factorization properties like those required in the definition of a modular functor.

We prove automatic continuity theorems for "decomposable" or "local" linear transformations between certain natural subspaces of operator algebras. The transformations involved are not algebra homomorphisms but often are module…

The celebrated Sz.-Nagy-Foia\c{s} model theory says that there is a bijection between the class of purely contractive analytic functions and the class of completely non-unitary (c.n.u.) contractions modulo unitary equivalence. In this paper…

On a polarized compact symplectic manifold endowed with an action of a compact Lie group, in analogy with geometric invariant theory, one can define the space of invariant functions of degree k. A central statement in symplectic geometry,…

A result by C. C.-A. Cheng, J. H. Mckay and S. S.-S. Wang says the following: Suppose the Jacobian of $A$ and $B$ is invertible in $\mathbb{C}[x,y]$ and the Jacobian of $A$ and $w$ is zero for $A,B,w \in \mathbb{C}[x,y]$. Then $w \in…

We construct an irreducible representation of the canonical commutation relations by operators on a certain Banach space over a local field of characteristic p. The Carlitz polynomials forming the basis of the space are shown to be the…

Ambiguities have recently been found in the definition of the partial derivative (in the case of presence of both explicit and implicit dependencies of the function subjected to differentiation). We investigate the possible influence of…

We consider the minimization of a p-Ginzburg-Landau energy functional over the class of radially symmetric functions of degree one. We prove the existence of a unique minimizer in this class, and show that its modulus is monotone increasing…

We fnd the asymptotics of eigenvalues of polynomially compact zero order pseudodiferential operators, the motivating example being the Neumann- Poincare operator in linear elasticity.
