We show that under natural and quite general assumptions, a large part of a matrix for a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space can be preassigned. The result is obtained in a more general setting of operator tuples leading to…

The generalized state space of a commutative C*-algebra, denoted S_H(C(X)), is the set of positive unital maps from C(X) to the algebra B(H) of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H. C*-convexity is one of several non-commutative…

In this note we show that an unbounded regular operator $t$ on Hilbert $C^*$-modules over an arbitrary $C^*$ algebra $ \mathcal{A}$ has polar decomposition if and only if the closures of the ranges of $t$ and $|t|$ are orthogonally…

We say that a contractive Hilbert space operator is universal if there is a natural surjection from its generated C*-algebra to the C*-algebra generated by any other contraction. A universal contraction may be irreducible or a direct sum of…

We investigate expansive Hilbert space operators $T$ that are finite rank perturbations of isometric operators. If the spectrum of $T$ is contained in the closed unit disc $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$, then such operators are of the form $T=…

Several numerical radius inequalities are studied by developing an extension of the Buzano's inequality. It is shown that if $T$ is a bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space, then \begin{eqnarray*} w^n(T) &\leq& \frac{1}{2^{n-1}}…

In this article, we define operator algebras internal to a rigid C*-tensor category $\mathcal{C}$. A C*/W*-algebra object in $\mathcal{C}$ is an algebra object $\mathbf{A}$ in $\operatorname{ind}$-$\mathcal{C}$ whose category of free…

The main result of the paper is an extension of the Dirichlet problem from (closures of) bounded open domains U to arbitrary compact subsets X of the complex plane, i.e. the closure of the corresponding space of functions which are harmonic…

This paper investigates new properties of $q$-numerical ranges for compact normal operators and establishes refined upper bounds for the $q$-numerical radius of Hilbert space operators. We first prove that for a compact normal operator $T$…

If $A,B$ are bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space, then % $w(A) \leq \frac{1}{2}\left( \|A\|+\sqrt{r\left(|A||A^*|\right)}\right)$ and $w(AB \pm BA)\leq 2\sqrt{2}\|B\|\sqrt{ w^2(A)-\frac{c^2(\Re (A))+c^2(\Im (A))}{2} },$…

We investigate the generalized derivations and show that every generalized derivation on a simple Hilbert $C^*$-module either is closable or has a dense range. We also describe dynamical systems on a full Hilbert $C^*$-module ${\mathcal M}$…

We construct a topology on the standard Hilbert module $l^2(\mathcal A)$ over a unital $W^*$-algebra $\mathcal A$ such that any "compact" operator, (i.e.\ any operator in the norm closure of the linear span of the operators of the form…

We show that a Hilbert space bounded linear operator has an $m$-isometric lifting for some integer $m\ge 1$ if and only if the norms of its powers grow polynomially. In analogy with unitary dilations of contractions, we prove that such…

For a topological space X, let (RX)s := (RX,Ts) be the cartesian product of |X| copies of the real line R with the topology of the uniform convergence on separable subsets of X. In this article we analyze the subspace C(X) of (RX)s of all…

Let $A = (A_1, \dots, A_m)$ be an $m$-tuple of elements of a unital $C$*-algebra ${\cal A}$ and let $M_q$ denote the set of $q \times q$ complex matrices. The joint $q$-matricial range $W^q(A)$ is the set of $(B_1, \dots, B_m) \in M_q^m$…

The objects of study are triangulations of the dilated standard triangle in the plane. Motivated by work on T-curves (Geiselmann et al., 2026), the focus lies on unimodular triangulations with a fixed symmetry axis. Lower and upper bounds…

Let $A$ be a positive operator on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}.$ We present inequalities concerning upper and lower bounds for $A$-numerical radius of operators, which improve on and generalize the existing ones, studied recently in…

Let $A\colon H\rightarrow H$ be a normal operator on an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space $H$ and let $S\subseteq H$ be a finite subset such that $\{A^nx\}_{n\geq 0,\,x\in S}$ can be rescaled to form a frame for $H$. That is,…

We develop upper and lower bounds for the numerical radius of $2\times 2$ off-diagonal operator matrices, which generalize and improve on the existing ones. We also show that if $A$ is a bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space…

We obtain several sharp lower and upper bounds for the Euclidean operator radius of a pair of bounded linear operators defined on a complex Hilbert space. As applications of these bounds we deduce a chain of new bounds for the classical…
