A problem by Feichtinger, Heil, and Larson asks whether every infinite matrix $A$ with $\sum_{k,l}|A_{kl}| < \infty$ (an equivalent substitute for the Feichtinger algebra) that is positive-semidefinite admits a symmetric rank-one…

Let $T$ be a quadratic operator on a complex Hilbert space $H$. We show that $T$ can be written as a product of two positive contractions if and only if $T$ is of the form $$aI \oplus bI \oplus\begin{pmatrix} aI & P \cr 0 & bI \cr…

We first find an explicit formula for the square root of positive $2 \times 2$ operator matrices with commuting entries, and then use it to define and study semi-hyponormality for commuting pairs of Hilbert space operators. \ For the…

We find the commutant of a pure contractive semigroup on a Hilbert space. We demonstrate that any tuple of doubly commuting pure contractive semigroups can be dilated to a tuple of doubly commuting pure isometric semigroups. En route, we…

The weighted shift operators turn out to be extremely useful in supplying interesting examples of operators on Hilbert spaces. With a view to study a continuous analogue of weighted shifts, M. Embry and A. Lambert initiated the study of a…

In this paper sectorial operators, or more generally, sectorial relations and their maximal sectorial extensions in a Hilbert space ${\mathfrak H}$ are considered. The particular interest is in sectorial relations $S$, which can be…

We introduce the notion of $k$-regular factorizations for contractions into $k$ factors, generalizing the classical notion of regular factorization due to Sz.-Nagy and Foia\c{s}, and develop a systematic framework for their analysis. Using…

Every numerical semigroup can be expressed as an intersection of irreducible numerical semigroups. We show that the unions of sets of lengths of factorizations of numerical semigroups into irreducible numerical semigroups are all equal to…

In the paper we investigate the semigroup of monotone co-finite partial homeomorphisms of the space of the usual real line $\mathbb{R}$. We prove that the inverse semigroup $\mathscr{P\!\!H}^+_{\!\!\operatorname{\textsf{cf}}}\!(\mathbb{R})$…

We reveal new aspects of the structure of Hilbert space $C_0$-semigroups $\mathcal T = (T(t))_{t\ge 0}$ similar to semigroups of contractions. In particular, we prove that $\mathcal T$ is similar to a semigroup of contractions if and only…

We prove that if $H$ denotes the operator corresponding to the canonical Dirichlet form on a possibly locally infinite weighted graph $(X,b,m)$, and if $v:X\to \mathbb{R}$ is such that $H+v/\hbar$ is well-defined as a form sum for all…

In this article, we study a class of contractive factors of $m$-hypercontractions for $m \in \mathbb{N}$. We find a characterization of such factors and this is achieved by finding explicit dilation of these factors on some weighted Bergman…

Let $\mathbb{N}$ be a set of the natural numbers. Symmetric inverse semigroup $R_\infty$ is the semigroup of all infinite 0-1 matrices $\left[ g_{ij}\right]_{i,j\in \mathbb{N}}$ with at most one 1 in each row and each column such that…

We show that the unitary group of any SOT-separable $\mathrm{II}_1$ factor $M$, with the strong operator topology, is contractible. Combined with several old results, this implies that the same is true for any SOT-separable von Neumann…
