Let $H$ be a separable Hilbert space with a fixed orthonormal basis. Let $\mathbb B^{(k)}(H)$ denote the set of operators, whose matrices have no more than $k$ non-zero entries in each line and in each column. The closure of the union (over…

It has been shown that if $T$ is a complex matrix, then {\small\begin{align*} \omega(T)&=\frac{1}{n}\sup\left\{|\mathrm{Tr}\ X|;\ X\in W^n(T)\right\}\\ &=\frac{1}{n}\sup\left\{\|X\|_1;\ X\in W^n(T)\right\}\\ &= \sup\left\{ \omega(X);\ X\in…

A classical result of Sz.-Nagy asserts that a Hilbert space contraction operator $T$ can be dilated to a unitary $\cU$. A more general multivariable setting for these ideas is the setup where (i) the unit disk is replaced by a domain…

We generalize the $C$-numerical range $W_C(T)$ from trace-class to Schatten-class operators, i.e. to $C\in\mathcal B^p(\mathcal H)$ and $T\in\mathcal B^q(\mathcal H)$ with $1/p + 1/q = 1$, and show that its closure is always star-shaped…

Given a Hilbert module $H$ over a $C^*$-algebra, let $\mathcal{L}(H)$ be the set of all adjointable operators on $H$. For each $T\in\mathcal{L}(H)$, its numerical radius is defined by $w(T)=\sup\big\{\|\langle Tx, x \rangle\|: x\in H,…

Suppose $L(H)$ is the space of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space $H.$ This article deals with the problem of characterizing the extreme contractions of $L(H)$ with respect to the numerical radius norm on $L(H).$ In…

Using works of T.~Ando and L.~Gurvits, the well-known theorem of P.R.~Halmos concerning the existence of unitary dilations for contractive linear operators acting on Hilbert spaces recast as a result for $d$-tuples of contractive Hilbert…

We generalise the Elliptical Range Theorem to characterise the numerical range of matrices belonging to a subspace of the space of \(3 \times 3\) matrices. Using Specht's Theorem, which characterizes when two matrices are unitarily…

We introduce the concept of essential numerical range $W_{\!e}(T)$ for unbounded Hilbert space operators $T$ and study its fundamental properties including possible equivalent characterizations and perturbation results. Many of the…

In this paper, we define a new concept of numerical range $W_{o}(\cdot)$ and prove its basic results. We also define the numerical radius $\omega_{o}(\cdot)$ and prove that $$\omega_{o}(T)\leq||| T|||\leq 2\omega_{o}(T).$$

We present new upper and lower bounds for the numerical radius of a bounded linear operator defined on a complex Hilbert space, which improve on the existing bounds. Among many other inequalities proved in this article, we show that for a…

The $n$-dimensional numerical range of a densely defined linear operator $T$ on a complex Hilbert space $\H$ is the set of vectors in $\C^n$ of the form $(< Te_1,e_1>,...,< Te_n,e_n>)$, where $e_1,...,e_n$ is an orthonormal system in $\H$,…

In this paper we show that every conjugation $C$ on the Hardy-Hilbert space $H^{2}$ is of type $C=T^{*}C_{1}T$, where $T$ is an unitary operator and $C_{1}f\left(z\right)=\overline{f\left(\overline{z}\right)}$, with $f\in H^{2}$. In the…

Several refinements of norm and numerical radius inequalities of bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space are given. In particular, we show that if $A$ is a bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space, then $$…

A conjugation $C$ is an anti-linear isometric involution on a complex Hilbert space $\clh$, and $T\in \clb(\clh)$ is conjugate normal if $T^*T = CTT^*C$ holds for some conjugation (C). In this paper, we provide a factorization and range…

We study the numerical range of bounded linear operators on quaternionic Hilbert spaces and its relation with the S-spectrum. The class of complex operators on quaternionic Hilbert spaces is introduced and the upper bild of normal complex…

An operator C on a Hilbert space H dilates to an operator T on a Hilbert space K if there is an isometry V from H to K such that C=V^*TV. A main result of this paper is, for a positive integer d, the simultaneous dilation, up to a sharp…

A new concept of a deformed numerical range $W^\rho(T)$ is introduced. Here $T$ is a bounded linear operator or a matrix and $ \rho \in[1,+\infty)$ is a parameter. Each $W^\rho(T)$ is a closed convex set that contains the spectrum of $T$.…
