Commutators of bilinear pseudodifferential operators with symbols in the H\"ormander class BS_{1, 0}^1 and multiplication by Lipschitz functions are shown to be bilinear Calder\'on-Zygmund operators. A connection with a notion of…

Let $\mathcal M$ be a separable factor. An operator $T$ in $\mathcal{M}$ is said to be irreducible in $\mathcal{M}$ if the von Neumann algebra $W^*(T)$ generated by $T$ is an irreducible subfactor of $\mathcal{M}$, i.e.,…

Let $\mathcal{T}^*$ be the semi-group maximal function associated to the Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta+V(x)$ with $V$ satisfying an appropriate reverse H\"{o}lder inequality. In this paper, we show that the commutator of $\mathcal{T}^*$…

To develop a unitary quantum theory with probabilistic description for pseudo- Hermitian systems one needs to consider the theories in a different Hilbert space endowed with a positive definite metric operator. There are different…

We determine the possible eigenvalues of compact selfadjoint operators A,B,C... with the property that A=B+C+... When all these operators are positive, the eigenvalues were known to be subject to certain inequalities which extend Horn's…

We show that the symmetrized product $AB+BA$ of two positive operators $A$ and $B$ is positive if and only if $f(A+B)\leq f(A)+f(B)$ for all non-negative operator monotone functions $f$ on $[0,\infty)$ and deduce an operator inequality. We…

An abelian self-commutator in a C*-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ is an element $A$ that can be written as $A=X^*X-XX^*$, with $X\in\mathcal{A}$ such that $X^*X$ and $XX^*$ commute. It is shown that, given a finite AW*-factor $\mathcal{A}$, there…

In a simple C*-algebra with suitable regularity properties, any unitary or invertible element with de la Harpe--Skandalis determinant zero is a finite product of commutators.

For a given unitary operator $U$ on a separable complex Hilbert space $\h$, we describe the set $\mathscr{C}_{c}(U)$ of all conjugations $C$ (antilinear, isometric, and involutive maps) on $\h$ for which $C U C = U$. As this set might be…

Let $T$ be a bilinear Calder\'{o}n-Zygmund singular integral operator and $T_*$ be its corresponding truncated maximal operator. The commutators in the $i$-$th$ entry and the iterated commutators of $T_*$ are defined by $$…

A unital $C^*$-algebra is called $N$-subhomogeneous if its irreducible representations are finite dimensional with dimension at most $N$. We extend this notion to operator systems, replacing irreducible representations by boundary…

The parallel sum $A:B$ of two bounded positive linear operators $A,B$ on a Hilbert space $H$ is defined to be the positive operator having the quadratic form \begin{equation*} \inf\{(A(x-y)\,|\,x-y)+(By\,|\,y)\,|\,y\in H\} \end{equation*}…

We will use commutators to provide decompositions of $3\times 3$ matrices as sums whose terms satisfy some polynomial identities, and we apply them to bounded linear operators and endomorphisms of free modules of infinite rank. In…

We present an inequality for tensor product of positive operators on Hilbert spaces by considering the tensor product of operators as words on certain alphabets (i.e., a set of letters). As applications of the operator inequality and by a…

In his recent work \cite{Y1}, X. Yang proved a conjecture raised by Yau in 1982 (\cite{Yau82}), which states that any compact K\"{a}hler manifold with positive holomorphic sectional curvature must be projective. In this note, we prove that…

A symmetric tensor, which has a symmetric nonnegative decomposition, is called a completely positive tensor. We consider the completely positive tensor decomposition problem. A semidefinite algorithm is presented for checking whether a…

It is known that the classical Hilbert--Schmidt theorem can be generalized to the case of compact operators in Hilbert $A$-modules $H_A^*$ over a $W^*$-algebra of finite type, i.e. compact operators in $H_A^*$ under slight restrictions can…

Let $A_{1}$, $A_{2}$, $...$, $A_{k}$ be strictly positive operators on a Hilbert space. This note is to show a sufficient condition of $A_{k}\geq A_{k-1}\geq\geq A_{3}\geq A_{2}\geq A_{1}$, which extends the related result before.
