It is shown that, in the framework of non-relativistic quantum mechanics, any conserved Hermitian operator (which may depend explicitly on the time) is the generator of a one-parameter group of unitary symmetries of the Hamiltonian and…
We establish a more precise description of those surjective or bijective continuous linear operators preserving orthogonality between C$^*$-algebras. The new description is applied to determine all uniformly continuous one-parameter…
This note concerns uniform equicontinuity of families of operators on a separable Hilbert space H, and of families of maps on B(H). It is shown that a one parameter group of automorphisms is uniformly equicontinuous if and only if the group…
A unitary family is a family of unitary operators $U(x)$ acting on a finite dimensional hermitian vector space, depending analytically on a real parameter $x$. It is monotone if $\frac1i U'(x)U(x)^{-1}$ is a positive operator for each $x$.…
Assume that $\Phi:\mathbb{M}_{n}(\mathbb{C})\rightarrow\mathbb{M}_{n}(\mathbb{C})$ is a superoperator which preserves hermiticity. We give an algorithm determining whether $\Phi$ preserves semipositivity (we call $\Phi$ positive in this…
We develop classes of one-parameter families (OPF) of operators on $C^\infty_c(\mathbb{C})$ which characterize the behavior of operators associated to the $\bar\partial$-problem in $L^2(\mathbb{C},e^{-2p})$ where $p$ is a subharmonic,…
We treat the question of existence of common hypercyclic vectors for families of continuous linear operators. It is shown that for any continuous linear operator $T$ on a complex Fr\'echet space $X$ and a set $\Lambda\subseteq \R_+\times\C$…
Bhat characterizes the family of linear maps defined on $B(\mathcal{H})$ which preserve unitary conjugation. We generalize this idea and study the maps with a similar equivariance property on finite-dimensional matrix algebras. We show that…
We develop relativistic non-Hermitian quantum theory and its application to neutrino physics in a strong magnetic field. It is well known, that one of the fundamental postulates of quantum theory is the requirement of Hermiticity of…
The spectrum of a one-parameter family of signed transfer operators associated to the Farey map is studied in detail. We show that when acting on a suitable Hilbert space of analytic functions they are self-adjoint and exhibit absolutely…
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…
We propose a scheme to deal with certain time-dependent non-Hermitian Hamiltonian operators $H(t)$ that generate a real phase in their time-evolution. This involves the use of invariant operators $I_{PH}(t)$ that are pseudo-Hermitian with…
A relation between values of a unitarily invariant norm of Hermitian operator before and after action of completely positive map is studied. If the norm is jointly defined on both the input and output Hilbert spaces, one defines a shrinking…
In this note, we frst consider boundedness properties of a family of operators generalizing the Hilbert operator in the upper triangle case. In the diagonal case, we give the exact norm of these operators under some restrictions on the…
In this paper we present a deterministic polynomial time algorithm for testing if a symbolic matrix in non-commuting variables over $\mathbb{Q}$ is invertible or not. The analogous question for commuting variables is the celebrated…
In the one-parameter family of power-law maps of the form $f_a(x)=-|x|^{\alpha}+a,$ $\alpha >1,$ we give examples of mutually related dynamically determined quantities, depending on the parameter $a$, such that one is a Pick function of the…
We extend a technique, originally due to the first author and Poonen, for proving cases of the Strong Uniform Boundedness Principle (SUBP) in algebraic dynamics over function fields of positive characteristic. The original method applied to…
We consider a 1-parameter family of self-adjoint extensions of the Hamiltonian for a particle confined to a finite interval with perfectly reflecting boundary conditions. In some cases, one obtains negative energy states which seems to…
A positive definiteness criterion and, under the additional conditions, a nonnegativity criterion for a self-adjoint continuous operator matrix, acting in product of an arbitrary number of real separable Hilbert spaces, are obtained. As…
We use classical results from the theory of linear preserver problems to characterize operators that send the set of pure states with Schmidt rank no greater than k back into itself, extending known results characterizing operators that…
