We prove a sharp upper bound on the number of distinct columns of a totally unimodular matrix with column sums $1$ improving upon Heller's classical bound. The proof uses Seymour's decomposition theorem. Such matrices are closely related to…

Let H be a separable infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space. We prove that every continuous 2-local automorphism of the poset (that is, partially ordered set) of all idempotents on H is an automorphism. Similar results concerning the…

Let $\mathbb{A}$ be a Dedekind domain and $T$ an endomorphism of a finitely-generated projective $\mathbb{A}$-module. If $T$ is an $s^{th}$ power in $\mathrm{End}_{\mathbb{A}}(M)$ for $s$ ranging over an infinite set $\mathcal{S}$ of…

An \textit{ideal} of $N$-tuples of operators is a class invariant with respect to unitary equivalence which contains direct sums of arbitrary collections of its members as well as their (reduced) parts. New decomposition theorems (with…

We prove that any complete metric space has a unique decomposition as a direct product of a possibly finite or zero-dimensional Hilbert space and a space that does not split off lines.

We obtain the first polynomial-time algorithm for exact tensor completion that improves over the bound implied by reduction to matrix completion. The algorithm recovers an unknown 3-tensor with $r$ incoherent, orthogonal components in…

Any finite set of linear operators on an algebra $A$ yields an operator algebra $B$ and a module structure on A, whose endomorphism ring is isomorphic to a subring $A^B$ of certain invariant elements of $A$. We show that if $A$ is a…

We consider the class of non-Hermitian operators represented by infinite tridiagonal matrices, selfadjoint in an indefinite inner product space with one negative square. We approximate them with their finite truncations. Both infinite and…

We prove the decomposition of arbitrary diagonal operators into tensor and matrix products of smaller matrices, focusing on the analytic structure of the resulting formulas and their inherent symmetries. Diagrammatic representations are…

For graded Hilbert spaces $H$ and shift-like commuting tuples $T \in B(H)^n$, we show that each homogeneous joint invariant subspace $M$ of $T$ has finite index and is generated by its wandering subspace. Under suitable conditions on the…

In this paper we discuss the relationship between noninvertible topological operators, one-form symmetries, and decomposition of two-dimensional quantum field theories, focusing on two-dimensional orbifolds with and without discrete…

We introduce the concept of n-OU and n-OO matrix sets, a collection of n mutually-orthogonal unitary and real orthogonal matrices under Hilbert-Schmidt inner product. We give a detailed characterization of order-three n-OO matrix sets under…

In this paper we determine a sufficient condition for the quasinilpotency of a commutator of compact operators via block-tridiagonal matrix form associated with a compact operator. We also prove that every compact operator is unitarily…

We define the completion of an associative algebra $A$ in a set $M=\{M_1,\dots,M_r\}$ of $r$ right $A$-modules in such a way that if $\mathfrak a\subseteq A$ is an ideal in a commutative ring $A$ the completion $A$ in the (right) module…

The paper introduces unbounded antilinear operators on Hilbert spaces and develops their fundamental theory. In particular, we establish a closed range theorem, a polar decomposition theorem, and the convexity of the numerical range for…

We begin by showing that any $n \times n$ matrix can be decomposed into a sum of $n$ circulant matrices with periodic relaxations on the unit circle. This decomposition is orthogonal with respect to a Frobenius inner product, allowing…

We provide several perturbation theorems regarding closable operators on a real or complex Hilbert space. In particular we extend some classical results due to Hess--Kato, Kato--Rellich and W\"ust. Our approach involves ranges of matrix…

A ring is called a commutator ring if every element is a sum of additive commutators. In this paper we give examples of such rings. In particular, we show that given any ring R, a right R-module N, and a set X, End_R(\bigoplus_X N) and…

We consider a family of gradient Gaussian vector fields on $\Z^d$, where the covariance operator is not translation invariant. A uniform finite range decomposition of the corresponding covariance operators is proven, i.e., the covariance…

Singular value decompositions of matrices are widely used in numerical linear algebra with many applications. In this paper, we extend the notion of singular value decompositions to finite complexes of real vector spaces. We provide two…
