In a recent paper [9], R. E. Curto, S. H. Lee and J. Yoon asked the following question: Let $T$ be a subnormal operator, and assume that $T^2$ is quasinormal. Does it follow that $T$ is quasinormal?. In [36] we answered this question in the…

The paper extends three results regarding the nth root problem by embedding classes of Hilbert-space operators into the class of posinormal operators. For instance, it is shown that (i) for coposinormal operators, if T is paranormal and T^n…

In the recent paper, R. E. Curto, S. H. Lee, J. Yoon, asked the following question: Let $A$ be a subnormal operator, and assume that $A^2$ is quasinormal. Does it follow that $A$ is quasinormal? In this paper, we give an affirmative answer…

We study jointly quasinormal and spherically quasinormal pairs of commuting operators on Hilbert space, as well as their powers. We first prove that, up to a constant multiple, the only jointly quasinormal $2$-variable weighted shift is the…

We investigate the $n$th root problem for bounded operators on a Hilbert space within the class of conditionally positive definite (CPD) operators determined by the L\'evy--Khintchine formula. The class contains subnormal operators,…

It is well known that the quasinormal modes (or resonant states) of photonic structures can be associated with the poles of the scattering matrix of the system in the complex-frequency plane. In this work, the inverse problem, i.e., the…

For $n$-normal operators $A$ [2, 4, 5], equivalently $n$-th roots $A$ of normal Hilbert space operators, both $A$ and $A^*$ satisfy the Bishop--Eschmeier--Putinar property $(\beta)_{\epsilon}$, $A$ is decomposable and the quasi-nilpotent…

We show that any m-isometric tuples of commuting operators on a finite dimensional Hilbert space can be decomposed as a sum of a spherical isometry and a commuting nilpotent tuple. Our approach applies as well to tuples of algebraic…

We define and study new classes of quasi-hereditary and cellular algebras which generalize Turner's double algebras. Turner's algebras provide a local description of blocks of symmetric groups up to derived equivalence. Our general…

In this paper we attempt to lay the foundations for a theory encompassing some natural extensions of the class of subnormal operators, namely the $n$--subnormal operators and the sub-$n$--normal operators. We discuss inclusion relations…

Using algebraic techniques we obtain quasinormal modes and frequencies associated to generalized forms of the scattering P\"oschl-Teller potential. This approach is based on the association of the corresponding equations of motion with…

We study Schur-type upper triangular forms for elements, T, of von Neumann algebras equipped with faithful, normal, tracial states. These were introduced in a paper of Dykema, Sukochev and Zanin; they are based on Haagerup-Schultz…

For $ k \in \mathbb{N}$ we introduce an idempotent subalgebra, the spherical partition algebra ${\mathcal{SP} }_{k}$, of the partition algebra ${\mathcal{P} }_{k}$, that we define using an embedding associated with the trivial…

In this paper, we extend Ando's theorem on paranormal operators, which states that if $ T \in \mathfrak{B}(\mathcal{H}) $ is a paranormal operator and there exists $ n \in \mathbb{N} $ such that $ T^n $ is normal, then $ T $ is normal. We…

The Cauchy dual subnormality problem asks whether the Cauchy dual operator $T^{\prime}:=T(T^*T)^{-1}$ of a $2$-isometry $T$ is subnormal. In the present paper we show that the problem has a negative solution. The first counterexample…

In this paper, we study the quasisymmetric embeddability of weak tangents of metric spaces. We first show that quasisymmetric embeddability is hereditary, i.e., if $X$ can be quasisymmetrically embedded into $Y$, then every weak tangent of…

In this paper it is shown that higher order quasiconvex functions suitable in the variational treatment of problems involving second derivatives may be extended to the space of all matrices as classical quasiconvex functions. Precisely, it…

We associate to any irreducible germ S of complex quasi-ordinary hypersurface an analytically invariant semigroup. We deduce a direct proof (without passing through their embedded topological invariance) of the analytical invariance of the…

The primary purpose of this paper is to show the existence of normal square and nth roots of some classes of bounded operators on Hilbert spaces. Two interesting simple results hold. Namely, under simple conditions we show that if any…

The theory of quantum symmetric pairs is applied to $q$-special functions. Previous work shows the existence of a family $\chi$-spherical functions indexed by the integers for each Hermitian quantum symmetric pair. A distinguished family of…
