We characterize the set of diagonals of the unitary orbit of a self-adjoint operator with a finite spectrum. Our result extends the Schur-Horn theorem from a finite dimensional setting to an infinite dimensional Hilbert space analogous to…

We study the behaviour of sequences $U_2^n X U_1^{-n}$, where $U_1, U_2$ are unitary operators, whose spectral measures are singular with respect to the Lebesgue measure, and the commutator $XU_1-U_2X$ is small in a sense. The conjecture…

Operators conserving the indefinite scalar product on a Krein space $(K,J)$ are called $J$-unitary. Such an operator $T$ is defined to be $S^1$-Fredholm if $T-z$ is Fredholm for all $z$ on the unit circle $S^1$, and essentially $S^1$-gapped…

We characterize weak* closed unital vector spaces of operators on a Hilbert space $H$. More precisely, we first show that an operator system, which is the dual of an operator space, can be represented completely isometrically and weak*…

Let $A$ be a unital operator algebra. Let us assume that every {\it bounded\/} unital homomorphism $u\colon \ A\to B(H)$ is similar to a {\it contractive\/} one. Let $\text{\rm Sim}(u) = \inf\{\|S\|\, \|S^{-1}\|\}$ where the infimum runs…

In this note, we consider the Dirac operator $D$ on a Riemannian symmetric space $M$ of noncompact type. Using representation theory we show that $D$ has point spectrum iff the $\hat A$-genus of its compact dual does not vanish. In this…

We put into evidence graphs with adjacency operator whose singular subspace is prescribed by the kernel of an auxiliary operator. In particular, for a family of graphs called admissible, the singular continuous spectrum is absent and there…

Let $D$ and $U$ be linear operators in a vector space (or more generally, elements of an associative algebra with a unit). We establish binomial-type identities for $D$ and $U$ assuming that either their commutator $[D,U]$ or the second…

We define the domain of a linear fractional transformation in a space of operators and show that both the affine automorphisms and the compositions of symmetries act transitively on these domains. Further, we show that Liouville's theorem…

A unitary operator which relates the system of a particle in a linear potential with time-dependent parameters to that of a free particle, has been given. This operator, closely related to the one which is responsible for the existence of…

A unital $C^*$-algebra is called $N$-subhomogeneous if its irreducible representations are finite dimensional with dimension at most $N$. We extend this notion to operator systems, replacing irreducible representations by boundary…

The duality of uniform approximation property for Banach spaces is well known. In this note, we establish, under the assumption of local reflexivity, the duality of uniform approximation property in the category of operator spaces.

Given a complex Banach space $X$ and a joint spectrum for complex solvable finite dimensional Lie algebras of operators defined on $X$, we extend this joint spectrum to quasi-solvable Lie algebras of operators, and we prove the main…

We obtain uniqueness theorems for harmonic and subharmonic functions of a new type. They lead to new analytic extension criteria and new conditions for stability of operator semigroups in Banach spaces with Fourier type.

Let $T$ be an operator on Banach space $X$ that is similar to $- T$ via an involution $U$. Then $U$ decomposes the Banach space $X$ as $X = X_1 \oplus X_2$ with respect to which decomposition we have $U = \left(\begin{matrix} I_1 & 0 \\ 0 &…

There are considered isometries on a Hilbert space. By the Wold theorem any isometry can be decomposed into a unitary operator and a unilateral shift. For a pair of isometries, even commuting, a maximal subspace reducing one isometry to a…

In this paper, we give a characterization of all closed linear operators in a separable Hilbert space which are unitarily equivalent to an integral operator in $L_2(R)$ with bounded and arbitrarily smooth Carleman kernel on $R^2$. In…

Let $\mathcal A\subseteq \mat$ be a unital $*$-subalgebra of the algebra $\mat$ of all $n\times n$ complex matrices and let $B$ be an hermitian matrix. Let $\U_n(B)$ denote the unitary orbit of $B$ in $\mat$ and let $\mathcal E_\mathcal A$…

The celebrated Bishop theorem states that an operator is subnormal if and only if it is the strong limit of a net (or a sequence) of normal operators. By the Agler-Stankus theorem, $2$-isometries behave similarly to subnormal operator in…

In this paper it is shown that in case of trace class perturbations the singular part of Pushnitski $\mu$-invariant does not depend on the angle variable. This gives an alternative proof of integer-valuedness of the singular part of the…
