In general, it is a non trivial task to determine the adjoint $S^*$ of an unbounded operator $S$ acting between two Hilbert spaces. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a given operator $T$ to be identical with $S^*$. In our…

We prove that every bounded self-adjoint operator in Hilbert space is a real linear combination of $4$ orthoprojections. Also we show that operators of the form identity minus compact positive operator can not be decomposed in a real linear…

Given a complex, separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we characterize those operators for which $\| P T (I-P) \| = \| (I-P) T P \|$ for all orthogonal projections $P$ on $\mathcal{H}$. When $\mathcal{H}$ is finite-dimensional, we also…

Parallel to the study of finite dimensional Banach spaces, there is a growing interest in the corresponding local theory of operator spaces. We define a family of Hilbertian operator spaces H_n^k,0< k < n+1, generalizing the row and column…

A lower semi-definite self-adjoint linear operator in a Hilbert space is taken whose discrete spectrum is not empty and comprises at least several eigenvalues $\lambda_{min}=\lambda_1\leqslant\ldots\leqslant\lambda_m<\sigma_{ess}$. The…

We analyse linear maps of operator algebras $\mathcal{B}_H(\mathcal{H})$ mapping the set of rank-$k$ projectors onto the set of rank-$l$ projectors surjectively. We give a complete characterisation of such maps for prime $n =…

In any infinite dimensional Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ there exist orthogonal projections $Q_1$, $Q_2$ and $Q_3$, such that a sequence $(P_n... P_1(x))$ diverges in norm for some $P_1,P_2,...\in\{Q_1,Q_2,Q_3\}$ and $x\in\mathcal H$.

We present the following reflexivity-like result concerning the automorphism group of the $C^*$-algebra B(H), H being a separable Hilbert space. Let $\phi:B(H)\to B(H)$ be a multiplicative map (no linearity or continuity is assumed) which…

We consider the problem of finding orthogonal projections $P$ of a rank $r$ that give rise to representations of the Hecke algebra $H_N(q)$ in which the generators of the algebra act locally on the $N$-th tensor power of the space ${\mathbb…

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. We show that there exist three orthogonal projections $X_1, X_2, X_3$ onto closed subspaces of $H$ such that for every $0\ne z_0\in H$ there exist $k_1, k_2,\dots \in \{1,2,3\}$ so that the…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field. There has been much interest in characterizing multiple structures in $\P^n_K$ defined on a linear subspace of small codimension under additional assumptions (e.g. Cohen-Macaulay). We show that no…

We make two observations regarding the invertibility of Keller maps. i.e., polynomial maps for which the determinant of their Jacobian matrix is identically equal to 1. In our first result, we show that if P is a n-dimensional Keller map,…

The eigenvalues of a self-adjoint nxn matrix A can be put into a decreasing sequence $\lambda=(\lambda_1,...,\lambda_n)$, with repetitions according to multiplicity, and the diagonal of A is a point of $R^n$ that bears some relation to…
