We revise Krein's extension theory of positive symmetric operators. Our approach using factorization through an auxiliary Hilbert space has several advantages: it can be applied to non-densely defined transformations and it works in both…

We use a model operator approach and the spectral theorem for self-adjoint operators in a Hilbert space to derive the basic results of abstract left-definite theory in a straightforward manner. The theory is amply illustrated with a variety…

We consider a positive operator $A$ on a Hilbert lattice such that its self-commutator $C = A^* A - A A^*$ is positive. If $A$ is also idempotent, then it is an orthogonal projection, and so $C = 0$. Similarly, if $A$ is power compact, then…

Invertibility of Toeplitz operators on the Bergman space and the related Douglas problem are long standing open problems. In this paper we study the invertibility problem under the novel geometric condition on the image of the symbols,…

In this article we prove a generalization of Weyl's criterion for the essential spectrum of a self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space. We then apply this criterion to the Laplacian on functions over open manifolds and get new results for…

In this paper we study the spectrum of a fundamental differential operator on a Hilbert-P\'olya space. A number is an eigenvalue of this differential operator if and only if it is a nontrivial zero of the Riemann zeta function. An explicit…
