The purpose of this paper is to generalize a very famous result on products of normal operators, due to I. Kaplansky. The context of generalization is that of bounded hyponormal and unbounded normal operators on complex separable Hilbert…
The present paper partly constitutes an "unbounded" follow-up of a paper by I. Kaplansky dealing with bounded products of normal operators. Results on the normality of unbounded products are also included.
We introduce a new fixed point theorem of Krasnoselskii type for discontinuous operators. As an application we use it to study the existence of positive solutions of a second-order differential problem with separated boundary conditions and…
Based on ideas of R.W. Cross, a simplified proof is presented of the density invariance of certain operational quantities associated with bounded linear operators in normed vector spaces.
Proofs of Tychonoff's theorem often seem to require a bit of magic. Machinery such as ultrafilters, nets or maximal families with the finite intersection property are employed to give proofs that can be very neat, but not the kind of thing…
A parameterization of the density operator, a coherence vector representation, which uses a basis of orthogonal, traceless, Hermitian matrices is discussed. Using this parameterization we find the region of permissible vectors which…
This paper theoretically investigates the following empirical phenomenon: given a high-complexity network with poor generalization bounds, one can distill it into a network with nearly identical predictions but low complexity and vastly…
A powerful procedure is presented for calculating the Casimir attraction between plane parallel multilayers made up of homogeneous regions with arbitrary magnetic and dielectric properties by use of the Minkowski energy-momentum tensor. The…
We prove results about uniform convergence of densities in the free central limit theorem without assumptions of boundedness on the support.
The trace of a function of a Schrodinger operator minus the same for the Laplacian can be expressed in terms of the determinant of its scattering matrix. The naive formula for this determinant is divergent. Using a dispersion relation, we…
We prove a result concerning the spreading of weighted Fekete points in the plane.
A version of Connes trace formula allows to associate a measure on the essential spectrum of a Schr\"odinger operator with bounded potential. In solid state physics there is another celebrated measure associated with such operators --- the…
We present a new and simple proof of a theorem due to Kaplansky which unifies theorems of Kolchin and Levitzki on triangularizability of semigroups of matrices. We also give two different extensions of the theorem. As a consequence, we…
We give an abstract formulation of the Dixmier trace formula for the density of states. This recovers prior versions and allows us to provide a Dixmier trace formula for the density of states of second order elliptic differential operators…
Our main theorem is in the generality of the axioms of Hilbert space, and the theory of unbounded operators. Consider two Hilbert spaces such that their intersection contains a fixed vector space D. It is of interest to make a precise…
A theorem of Kaplansky asserts that a semigroup of matrices with entries from a field whose members all have singleton spectra is triangularizable. Indeed, Kaplansky's Theorem unifies well-known theorems of Kolchin and Levitzki on…
We extend the well-known Katznelson-Tzafriri theorem, originally posed for power-bounded operators, to the case of Ces\`aro bounded operators of any order $\alpha>0.$ For this purpose, we use a functional calculus between a new class of…
In this paper we suggest new effective criteria for the density property. This enables us to give a trivial proof of the original Anders\'en-Lempert result and to establish (almost free of charge) the algebraic density property for all…
We show that Kaplansky's unit conjecture is true, under the assumption that the underlying field is complex.
After defining a notion of $\epsilon$-density, we provide for any real algebraic number $\alpha$ an estimate of the smallest $\epsilon$ such that for each $m>1$ the set of vectors of the form $(t,t\alpha,...,t\alpha^{m-1})$ for $t\in\R$ is…
