A version of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality in operator theory is the following: for any two symmetric, positive definite matrices $A,B \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ and arbitrary $X \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ $$ \|AXB\| \leq \|A^2…

Let $(A_1,\cdots,A_n)$ and $(B_1,\cdots,B_n)$ be $n$-tuples of commuting self-adjoint operators on Hilbert space. For functions $f$ on $\R^n$ satisfying certain conditions, we obtain sharp estimates of the operator norms (or norms in…

Given a function $f: (a,b) \rightarrow \mathbb{R},$ L\"owner's theorem states $f$ is monotone when extended to self-adjoint matrices via the functional calculus, if and only if $f$ extends to a self-map of the complex upper half plane. In…

We investigate commutator operations on compatible uniformities of an algebra. We present a commutator operation for compatible uniformities of an algebra in a congruence-modular variety which extends the commutator on congruences, and…

Let f be a non-negative concave function on the positive half-line. Let A and B be two positive matrices. Then, for all symmetric norms, || f(A+B) || is less than || f(A)+f(B) ||. When f is operator concave, this was proved by Ando and…

We derive a formula for the essential norm of a composition operator on the minimal Mobius invariant space of analytic functions. As an application, we show that the essential norm of a non-compact composition operator is at least 1. We…

It is proved that the resolvent norm of an operator with a compact resolvent on a Banach space $X$ cannot be constant on an open set if the underlying space or its dual is complex strictly convex. It is also shown that this is not the case…

New upper and lower bounds for the numerical radii of Hilbert space operators are given. Among our results, we prove that if $A\in \mathcal{B} \left( \mathcal{H}\right) $ is a hyponormal operator, then for all non-negative non-decreasing…

Let $X$ be a right Hilbert module over a $C^*$-algebra $A$ equipped with the canonical operator space structure. We define an elementary operator on $X$ as a map $\phi : X \to X$ for which there exists a finite number of elements $u_i$ in…

We introduce a uniform structure on any Hilbert $C^*$-module $\mathcal N$ and prove the following theorem: suppose, $F:{\mathcal M}\to {\mathcal N}$ is a bounded adjointable morphism of Hilbert $C^*$-modules over $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal…

The Mertens function is defined as $M(x) = \sum_{n \leq x} \mu(n)$, where $\mu(n)$ is the M\"obius function. The Mertens conjecture states $|M(x)/\sqrt{x}| < 1$ for $x > 1$, which was proven false in 1985 by showing $\liminf M(x)/\sqrt{x} <…

Let $A,B\in B(H)$. In the present paper, we establish simple and interesting facts on when we have $|A||B|=|B||A|$, $|AB|=|A||B|$, $|A\pm B|\leq |A|+|B|$, $||A|-|B||\leq |A\pm B|$ and $\||A|-|B|\|\leq \|A\pm B\|$, where $|\cdot|$ denotes…

Let $D,X \in B(H)$ be bounded operators on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space $H$. If the commutator $[D,X] = DX-XD$ lies within $\varepsilon$ in operator norm of the identity operator $1_{B(H)}$, then it was observed by Popa that one…

The most important open problem in Monotone Operator Theory concerns the maximal monotonicity of the sum of two maximally monotone operators provided that the classical Rockafellar's constraint qualification holds. In this paper, we…

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…
