There has been a long-standing conjecture in Banach algebra that every amenable operator is similar to a normal operator. In this paper, we study the structure of amenable operators on Hilbert spaces. At first, we show that the conjecture…

We prove that if $n$ closed disks $D_1, D_2, ..., D_n$, of the Riemann sphere are spectral sets for a bounded linear operator $A$ on a Hilbert space, then their intersection $D_1\cap D_2...\cap D_n$ is a complete $K$-spectral set for $A$,…

We show that the centre of a Dedekind complete complex Banach lattice is a commutative $\mathrm{C}^\ast$-algebra in the order unit norm. This implies that the order unit norm and the operator norm coincide. As an application of the latter,…

We give a direct non-abstract proof of the Spectral Mapping Theorem for the Helffer-Sj\"ostrand functional calculus for linear operators on Banach spaces with real spectra and consequently give a new non-abstract direct proof for the…

We study the problem of the existence of a common algebraic complement for a pair of closed subspaces of a Banach space. We prove the following two characterizations: (1) The pairs of subspaces of a Banach space with a common complement…

Let $T$ be a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space $H$ such that \[ \alpha[T^*,T]:=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \alpha_n T^{*n}T^n\ge 0. \] where $\alpha(t)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \alpha_n t^n$ is a suitable analytic function in the unit disc…

Let $T:H_1\rightarrow H_2$ be a bounded linear operator defined between complex Hilbert spaces $H_1$ and $H_2$. We say $T$ to be \textit{minimum attaining} if there exists a unit vector $x\in H_1$ such that $\|Tx\|=m(T)$, where…

In topological equivalence, a bounded linear operator between Banach spaces - we focus on the case of Hilbert spaces - is viewed as only acting linearly and continuously between them qua different spaces with the structure of linear…

A classical result of Sz.-Nagy asserts that a Hilbert-space contraction operator $T$ can be lifted to an isometry $V$. A more general multivariable setting of recent interest for these ideas is the case where (i) the unit disk is replaced…

Let $B(H)$ be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space $H$. For $T \in B(H)$ and $\lambda \in \mathbb{C}$, let $H_{T}(\{\lambda\})$ denotes the local spectral subspace of $T$ associated…

The resolvent of an operator in a Banach space is defined on an open subset of the complex plane and is holomorphic. It obeys the resolvent equation. A generalization of this equation to Schwartz distributions is defined and a Schwartz…

A bounded operator $T$ in a Banach space $X$ is said to satisfy the essential descent spectrum equality, if the descent spectrum of $T$ as an operator on $X$ coincides with the essential descent spectrum of $T$. In this note, we give some…

If $\mathcal H$ is a Hilbert space, $\mathcal S \subseteq \mathcal H$ is a closed subspace of $\mathcal H$, and $A $ is a positive bounded linear operator on $\mathcal H$, the spectral shorted operator $\rho(\mathcal S, A)$ is defined as…

It is shown that the joint spectral radius $\rho(M)$ of a precompact family $M$ of operators on a Banach space $X$ is equal to the maximum of two numbers: the joint spectral radius $\rho_{e}(M)$ of the image of $M$ in the Calkin algebra and…

We explore aspects of dilation theory in the finite dimensional case and show that for a commuting $n$-tuple of operators $T=(T_1,...,T_n) $ acting on some finite dimensional Hilbert space $H$ and a compact set $X\subset \mathbb{C}^n$ the…

Let $A$ be an unbounded operator on a Banach space $X$. It is sometimes useful to improve the operator $A$ by extending it to an operator $B$ on a larger Banach space $Y$ with smaller spectrum. It would be preferable to do this with some…

Generalizing the case of a normal operator in a complex Hilbert space, we give a straightforward proof of the non-hypercyclicity of a (bounded or unbounded) scalar type spectral operator $A$ in a complex Banach space as well as of the…

We study the (H\"older-)continuous behavior of the spectra belonging to a family of linear bounded operators $(A_t)_{t\in T}$ indexed by a topological space $T$. For the cases of self-adjoint, unitary and normal operators, a…

A spectral theory of linear operators on a rigged Hilbert space is applied to Schr\"odinger operators with exponentially decaying potentials and dilation analytic potentials. The theory of rigged Hilbert spaces provides a unified approach…
