Researchers have identified complex matrices $A$ such that a bounded linear operator $B$ acting on a Hilbert space will admit a dilation of the form $A \otimes I$ whenever the numerical range inclusion relation $W(B) \subseteq W(A)$ holds.…
Quantum $\mathcal{R}$-matrices are the building blocks for the colored HOMFLY polynomials. In the case of three-strand braids with an identical finite-dimensional irreducible representation $T$ of $SU_q(N)$ associated with each strand one…
Considered are operators that leave the set of non-invertible (in the sense of Ehrenpreis) distributions stable. They simultaneously generalise the operation of convolution by a distribution with compact support and the operation of…
Let $A_r=\{r<|z|<1\}$ be an annulus. We consider the class of operators $\mathcal{F}_r:=\{T\in\mathcal{B}(H): r^2T^{-1}(T^{-1})^*+TT^*\le r^2+1,\hspace{0.08 cm}\sigma(T)\subset A_r\}$ and show that for every bounded holomorphic function…
Paszkiewicz's conjecture asserts that given a decreasing sequence $T_1\ge T_2\ge \dots$ of positive contractions on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $H$, the product $S_n=T_nT_{n-1}\cdots T_1$ converges in the strong operator…
Let $A$ be an Auslander algebra of global dimension equal to 2. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for $A$ to be a tilted algebra. In particular, $A$ is tilted if and only if pd$(\tau_{A}\Omega_{A}DA)\leq1$.
Recently, the short-distance asymptotics of the generating functional of $n$-point correlators of twist-$2$ operators in SU($N$) Yang-Mills (YM) theory has been worked out in [1]. The above computation relies on a basis change of…
A rotational subset, relative to a continuous transformation $T: \mathbb{T} \to \mathbb{T}$ on the unit circle, is a closed, invariant subset of $\mathbb{T}$ that is minimal and on which $T$ respects the standard orientation of the unit…
The main questions raised in this paper are to find the sufficient conditions that make multi-sublinear operators $T$ and their commutators ${T_{\prod \vec b }}$, ${T_{\sum {\vec b} }}$ to be bounded on three kinds of generalized weighted…
A bounded operator on a real or complex separable infinite-dimensional Banach space $Z$ is universal in the sense of Glasner and Weiss if for every invertible ergodic measure-preserving transformation $T$ of a standard Lebesgue probability…
A number of papers deal with the problem of counting the number of retractions of a structure $S$ onto a substructure $T.$ In the particular case when $S$ is a free algebra, this number is $\geq 1$ iff $T$ is projective. In this paper we…
Certain Bernoulli convolution measures (\mu) are known to be spectral. Recently, much work has concentrated on determining conditions under which orthonormal Fourier bases (i.e. spectral bases) exist. For a fixed measure known to be…
The results on the inversion of convolution operators as well as Toeplitz (and block Toeplitz) matrices in the $1$-D (one-dimensional) case are classical and have numerous applications. Last year, we considered the $2$-D case of…
To every minimal model of a complete local isolated cDV singularity Donovan--Wemyss associate a finite dimensional symmetric algebra known as the contraction algebra. We construct the first known standard derived equivalences between these…
Let $T$ be a bounded quaternionic normal operator on a right quaternionic Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. We show that $T$ can be factorized in a strongly irreducible sense, that is, for any $\delta >0$ there exist a compact operator $K$ with…
One can view contraction operators given by a canonical model of Sz.-Nagy and Foias as being defined by a quotient module where the basic building blocks are Hardy spaces. In this note we generalize this framework to allow the Bergman and…
We investigate topology change in (1+1) dimensions by analyzing the scalar-curvature action $1/2 \int R dV$ at the points of metric-degeneration that (with minor exceptions) any nontrivial Lorentzian cobordism necessarily possesses. In two…
Let $A\in\mathcal{B}(X)$, $B\in\mathcal{B}(Y)$ and $C\in\mathcal{B}(Y,X)$ where $X$ and $Y$ are infinite Banach or Hilbert spaces. Let $M_{C}=\begin{pmatrix} A & C\cr 0 & B \end{pmatrix}$ be $2\times 2$ upper triangular operator matrix…
We prove that various spaces of constrained positive scalar curvature metrics on compact 3-manifolds with boundary, when not empty, are contractible. The constraints we mostly focus on are given in terms of local conditions on the mean…
Each bounded operator T on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space H is a sum of three operators that are similar to positive operators; two such operators are sufficient if T is not a compact perturbation of a scalar. The spectra of L\"uders…
