We give two equivalent sets of invariants which classify pairs of coisotropic subspaces of a finite-dimensional symplectic vector space. We identify five elementary types of coisotropic pairs and show that any coisotropic pair decomposes in…
The isometric dilation of a pair of commuting contractions due to And\^{o} is not minimal. We modify And\^{o}'s dilation and construct a minimal isometric dilation on $\mathcal H \oplus_2 \ell_2(\mathcal H \oplus_2 \mathcal H)$ for a…
For commuting contractions $T_1,\dots ,T_n$ acting on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ with $T=\prod_{i=1}^n T_i$, we show that $(T_1, \dots, T_n)$ dilates to commuting isometries $(V_1, \dots , V_n)$ on the minimal isometric dilation space of…
An adjoint pair is a pair of densely defined linear operators $A, B$ on a Hilbert space such that $\langle Ax,y\rangle=\langle x,By\rangle$ for $x\in \cD(A), y \in \cD(B).$ We consider adjoint pairs for which $0$ is a regular point for both…
We relate commutative algebras in braided tensor categories to braid-reversed tensor equivalences, motivated by vertex algebra representation theory. First, for $\mathcal{C}$ a braided tensor category, we give a detailed construction of the…
We use the theory of regular objects in tensor categories to clarify the passage between braided multiplicative unitaries and multiplicative unitaries with projection. The braided multiplicative unitary and its semidirect product…
Let $R$ be a unitary operator whose spectrum is the circle. We show that the set of unitaries $U$ which essentially commute with $R$ (i.e., $[U,R]\equiv UR-RU$ is compact) is path-connected. Moreover, we also calculate the set of…
We study semistable pairs on elliptic K3 surfaces with a section: we construct a family of moduli spaces of pairs, related by wall crossing phenomena, which can be studied to describe the birational correspondence between moduli spaces of…
A compatible associative algebra is a vector space endowed with two associative multiplication operations that satisfy a natural compatibility condition. In this paper, we investigate and classify compatible pairs of associative algebras of…
We classify tuples of (not necessarily commuting) isometries that admit von Neumann-Wold decomposition. We introduce the notion of twisted isometries for tuples of isometries and prove the existence of orthogonal decomposition for such…
It is well-known that the canonical commutation relation $[x,p]=i$ can be realized only on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. While any finite set of experimental data can also be explained in terms of a finite-dimensional Hilbert space…
We characterize Beurling quotient subspaces for pure doubly commuting isometric representations of product systems. As a consequence, we derive a concrete regular dilation theorem for a pure completely contractive covariant representation…
The homology of Kontsevich's commutative graph complex parameterizes finite type invariants of odd dimensional manifolds. This {\it graph homology} is also the twisted homology of Outer Space modulo its boundary, so gives a nice point of…
We study the set ${\cal C}$ consisting of pairs of orthogonal projections $P,Q$ acting in a Hilbert space ${\cal H}$ such that $PQ$ is a compact operator. These pairs have a rich geometric structure which we describe here. They are parted…
Working in the framework of $(T, V)$-categories, for a symmetric monoidal closed category $V$ and a (not necessarily cartesian) monad $T$, we present a common account to the study of ordered compact Hausdorff spaces and stably compact…
Given a weighted $\ell^2$ space with weights associated to an entire function, we consider pairs of weighted shift operators, whose commutators are diagonal operators, when considered as operators over a general Fock space. We establish a…
A simple proof is provided to show that any bounded normal operator on a real Hilbert space is orthogonally equivalent to its transpose(adjoint). A structure theorem for invertible skew-symmetric operators, which is analogous to the finite…
A symmetric characteristic singular integral equation with two fixed singularities at the endpoints in the class of functions bounded at the ends is analyzed. It reduces to a vector Hilbert problem for a half-disc and then to a vector…
We characterize those regular, holomorphic or formal maps into the orbit space $V/G$ of a complex representation of a finite group $G$ which admit a regular, holomorphic or formal lift to the representation space $V$. In particular, the…
A commuting tuple of Hilbert space operators $(T_1, \dotsc, T_n)$ is said to be an \textit{$\mathbb{A}_r^n$-contraction} if the closure of the polyannulus \[ \mathbb A_r^n=\left\{(z_1, \dotsc, z_n) \ : \ r<|z_i|<1, \ 1 \leq i \leq n…
