A bounded linear operator $T$ on a separable complex Hilbert space $H$ is called $C$-normal if there is a conjugation $C$ on $H$ such that $ CT^\ast TC=TT^\ast$. Let $\varphi$ be a linear fractional self-map of $\mathbb{D}$. In this paper,…

We shall say that a densely defined closed operator $T$ on a Hilbert space is balanced if $\cD(T)=\cD(T^*)$. Balanced operators are described in terms of their phase operators abnd their moduli. Examples of balanced operators are developed.…

{Let $N, k$ be positive integers with $k\geq 2$, and $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{N}$ be a domain.} By the well-known properties of the Laplacian and the gradient, we have \[ \Delta(f\cdot g)(x)=g(x) \Delta f(x)+f(x) \Delta g(x)+2\langle…

Normality and $\ga$-hermiticity are what gives rise to chiral properties and rules. The Ginsparg-Wilson (GW) relation is only one of the possible spectral constraints. The sum rule for chiral differences of real modes has important…

Perfect dyadic operators were first introduced in \cite{AHMTT}, where a local $T(b)$ theorem was proved for such operators. In \cite{AY} it was shown that for every singular integral operator $T$ with locally bounded kernel on $\mathbb{R}^n…
