Subharmonic functions associated with the stationary Schrodinger operator are its weak subsolutions under appropriate assumptions on the potential of the operator. We prove for these functions analogs of several classical results on…

In this paper we investigate the complexity of abduction, a fundamental and important form of non-monotonic reasoning. Given a knowledge base explaining the world's behavior it aims at finding an explanation for some observed manifestation.…

We develop a general theory of operator realizations, or ``linear representations" of analytic functions in several non-commuting variables about a matrix-centre. In particular we show that a non-commutative function has a matrix-centre…

We present combinatorial operators for the expansion of the Kronecker product of irreducible representations of the symmetric group. These combinatorial operators are defined in the ring of symmetric functions and act on the Schur functions…

We study conformal conserved currents in arbitrary irreducible representations of the Lorentz group using the embedding space formalism. With the help of the operator product expansion, we first show that conservation conditions can be…

We establish new results on the weak containment of quasi-regular and Koopman representations of a second countable locally compact group $G$ associated with non-singular $G$-spaces. We deduce that any two boundary representations of a…

Resolvent compositions were recently introduced as monotonicity-preserving operations that combine a set-valued monotone operator and a bounded linear operator. They generalize in particular the notion of a resolvent average. We analyze the…

Given a C*-algebra A with a semicontinuous semifinite trace tau acting on the Hilbert space H, we define the family R of bounded Riemann measurable elements w.r.t. tau as a suitable closure, a la Dedekind, of A, in analogy with one of the…

In this paper, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between operator monotone functions on the nonnegative reals and finite Borel measures on the unit interval. This correspondence appears as an integral representation of…

We examine unitary and nonunitary representations of the Heisenberg-Weyl Lie algebra $\mathfrak{hw}_n$, with particular emphasis on tensor products of unitary representations and on indecomposable nonunitary representations. In the unitary…

We (a) prove that continuous morphisms from locally compact groups to locally exponential (possibly infinite-dimensional) Lie groups factor through Lie quotients, recovering a result of Shtern's on factoring norm-continuous representations…

In this paper we provide visual characterization of associative quasitrivial nondecreasing operations on finite chains. We also provide a characterization of bisymmetric quasitrivial nondecreasing binary operations on finite chains.…

We introduce notions of absolutely continuous functionals and representations on the non-commutative disk algebra $A_n$. Absolutely continuous functionals are used to help identify the type L part of the free semigroup algebra associated to…

C. Akemann and G. Pedersen defined three concepts of semicontinuity for self-adjoint elements of A**, the enveloping von Neumann algebra of a C*-algebra A. We give the basic properties of the analogous concepts for elements of pA**p, where…

Growing out of the initial connections between subfactors and knot theory that gave rise to the Jones polynomial, Jones' axiomatization of the standard invariant of an extremal finite index $II_1$ subfactor as a spherical $C^*$-planar…

In this article we prove that quasi-multiplicative (with respect to the usual length function) mappings on the permutation group $\SSn$ (or, more generally, on arbitrary amenable Coxeter groups), determined by self-adjoint contractions…

We take a new look at dilation theory for nonself-adjoint operator algebras. Among the extremal (co)extensions of a representation, there is a special property of being fully extremal. This allows a refinement of some of the classical…

The unitary representation theory of locally compact contraction groups and their semi-direct products with $\mathbb{Z}$ is studied. We put forward the problem of completely characterising such groups which are type I or CCR and this…

Performing an additive decomposition of arbitrary functions of random elements is paramount for global sensitivity analysis and, therefore, the interpretation of black-box models. The well-known seminal work of Hoeffding characterized the…

We establish the dual equivalence of the category of (potentially nonunital) operator systems and the category of pointed compact nc (noncommutative) convex sets, extending a result of Davidson and the first author. We then apply this dual…
