In the context of Dirichlet type spaces on the unit ball of $\mathbb{C}^d$, also known as Hardy-Sobolev or Besov-Sobolev spaces, we compare two notions of smallness for compact subsets of the unit sphere. We show that the functional…
These notes cover the contents of three survey lectures held at the ICTP Trieste Summer school on High dimensional manifold theory 2001. They introduce techniques coming from the theory of operator algebras. We will focus on the basic…
The purpose of this paper is two-fold: firstly, we give a characterization on the level of non-unital operator systems for when the zero map is a boundary representation. As a consequence, we show that a non-unital operator system arising…
We make several contributions to our recent program investigating structural properties of algebras of operators on a Hilbert space. For example, we make substantial contributions to the noncommutative peak interpolation program begun by…
General results of interpolation (eg. Nevanlinna-Pick) by elements in the noncommutative analytic Toeplitz algebra $F^\infty$ (resp. noncommutative disc algebra $A_n$) with consequences to the interpolation by bounded operator-valued…
The classical Arazy's decomposition theorem provides a powerful tool in the study of sequences in (and isomorphisms on) a separable operator ideal $\mathcal C_E$ of the algebra $\mathcal B(H)$ of all bounded linear operators on the…
Let $M\subset N$ be Hilbert $C^*$-modules over a $C^*$-algebra $A$ with $M^\perp=0$. It was shown recently by J. Kaad and M. Skeide that there exists a non-zero $A$-valued functional on $N$ such that its restriction onto $M$ is zero. Here…
An important result in real algebraic geometry is the projection theorem: every projection of a semialgebraic set is again semialgebraic. This theorem and some of its conclusions lie at the basis of many other results, for example the…
Using tools provided by the theory of abstract convexity, we extend conditions for zero duality gap to the context of nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization. Mimicking the classical setting, an abstract convex function is the upper envelope…
The main objects of study in this paper are those functionals that are analytic in the sense that they annihilate the non-commutative disc algebra. In the classical univariate case, a theorem of F. and M. Riesz implies that such functionals…
Absolute algebras are a new type of algebraic structures, endowed with a meaningful notion of infinite sums of operations without supposing any underlying topology. Opposite to the usual definition of operadic calculus, they are defined as…
Suppose $A$ is a pro-C*-algebra. Let $L_{A}(E)$ be the pro-C*-algebra of adjointable operators on a Hilbert $A$-module $E$ and let $K_{A}(E)$ be the closed two sided $*$-ideal of all compact operators on $E$. We prove that if $E$ be a full…
Motivated by Barr{\'\i}a-Halmos's \cite[Question 19]{barria1982asymptotic} and Halmos's \cite[Problem 237]{Halmos1978A}, we explore projections in Toeplitz algebra on the Hardy space. We show that the product of two Toeplitz (Hankel)…
The main goal of this paper is to find operator algebra variants of certain deep results of Stormer, Friedman and Russo, Choi and Effros, Effros and Stormer, Robertson and Youngson, Youngson, and others, concerning projections on…
Considering the deeper reasons of the appearance of a remarkable counterexample by J.~Kaad and M.~Skeide [17] we consider situations in which two Hilbert C*-modules $M \subset N$ with $M^\bot = \{ 0 \}$ over a fixed C*-algebra $A$ of…
The paper studies projective freeness and Hermiteness of algebras of complex-valued continuous functions on topological spaces, Stein algebras, and commutative unital Banach algebras. New sufficient cohomology conditions on the maximal…
We study contractive projections, isometries, and real positive maps on algebras of operators on a Hilbert space. For example we find generalizations and variants of certain classical results on contractive projections on C*-algebras and…
For each $\alpha \in (0,1)$, $A_\alpha$ denotes the universal $C^*$-algebra generated by two unitaries $u$ and $v$, which satisfy the commutation relation $uv=\exp (2\pi i\alpha)vu$. We consider the order four automorphism $\sigma$ of…
By $B=B(x^{(0)};R)$ we denote the Euclidean ball in ${\mathbb R}^n$ given by the inequality $\|x-x^{(0)}\|\leq R$. Here $x^{(0)}\in{\mathbb R}^n, R>0$, $\|x\|:=\left(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i^2\right)^{1/2}$. We mean by $C(B)$ the space of…
Hilbert(ian) A-modules over finite von Neumann algebras A with a faithful normal trace state (from global analysis) and Hilbert W*-modules over A (from operator algebra theory) are compared, and a categorical equivalence is established. The…
