In the first half of this text we explore the interrelationships between the abstract theory of limit operators (see e.g. the recent monographs of Rabinovich, Roch & Silbermann and Lindner) and the concepts and results of the generalised…

The Fredholm property of Toeplitz operators on the $p$-Fock spaces $F_\alpha^p$ on $\mathbb{C}^n$ is studied. A general Fredholm criterion for arbitrary operators from the Toeplitz algebra $\mathcal{T}_{p,\alpha}$ on $F_\alpha^p$ in terms…

A certain class of matrix-valued Borel matrix functions is introduced and it is shown that all functions of that class naturally operate on any operator T in a finite type I von Neumann algebra M in a way such that uniformly bounded…

In this note, we briefly introduce the background and motivation of the collaborative work [arXiv:2508.20797], and provide an outline of the main results. The latter relates to matrix and higher order scalar differential equations satisfied…

We identify two seemingly disparate structures: supercharacters, a useful way of doing Fourier analysis on the group of unipotent uppertriangular matrices with coefficients in a finite field, and the ring of symmetric functions in…

For each positive integer n the HOMFLY polynomial of links specializes to a one-variable polynomial that can be recovered from the representation theory of quantum sl(n). For each such n we build a doubly-graded homology theory of links…

In this paper a definition is given for an unbounded Toeplitz-like operator with rational symbol which has poles on the unit circle. It is shown that the operator is Fredholm if and only if the symbol has no zeroes on the unit circle, and a…

We show that the unitary factor U in the polar decomposition of a nonsingular matrix Z = U H is the minimizer for both ||Log(Q^* Z)|| and ||sym (Log(Q^*Z))|| over unitary Q, for any given invertible complex n-times-n matrix Z, for any…

We define a representation of the unitary group $U(n)$ by metaplectic operators acting on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and consider the operator algebra generated by the operators of the representation and pseudodifferential operators of Shubin…

We express the topological expansion of the Jacobi Unitary Ensemble in terms of triple monotone Hurwitz numbers. This completes the combinatorial interpretation of the topological expansion of the classical unitary invariant matrix…

We solve the following problems associated with Toeplitz operators $T_{\Phi}$ on Hilbert space-valued Hardy spaces $H_{\mathcal{E}}^2(\mathbb{D}^n)$ over the unit polydisc $\mathbb{D}^n$. $(I)$ Given operator-valued bounded analytic…

A classical result by R. Rochberg says that every bounded Toeplitz operator $T$ on the Hilbert Paley-Wiener space $\mathrm{PW}_a^2$ admits a bounded symbol $\varphi$. We generalize this result to Toeplitz operators on the Banach…

We give a new algorithm for the construction of the unique superoptimal analytic approximant of a given continuous matrix-valued function on the unit circle, making use of exterior powers of operators in preference to spectral or {\em…

The aim of this paper is to study the approximation of functions using a higher order Hermite-Fejer interpolation process on the unit circle. The system of nodes is composed of vertically projected zeros of Jacobi polynomials onto the unit…

Let $(-A,B,C)$ be a linear system in continuous time $t>0$ with input and output space ${\bf C}$ and state space $H$. The function $\phi_{(x)}(t)=Ce^{-(t+2x)A}B$ determines a Hankel integral operator $\Gamma_{\phi_{(x)}}$ on $L^2((0, \infty…

Wiener-Hopf plus Hankel operators acting between Lebesgue spaces on the real line are studied in view of their invertibility, one sided-invertibility, Fredholm, and semi-Fredholm properties. This is done in two different cases: (i) when the…

We study the fusion of B-type interfaces between N=(2,2) supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg models. Such interfaces can be described by matrix factorizations of the difference of the superpotentials, and their fusion is modelled by the tensor…

We discuss the following extremal problem and its relevance to the sum of the so-called superoptimal singular values of a matrix function: Given an $m\times n$ matrix function $\Phi$ on the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$, when is there a matrix…

These lectures present a survey of recent developments in the area of random matrices (finite and infinite) and random permutations. These probabilistic problems suggest matrix integrals (or Fredholm determinants), which arise very…

Within the framework of mappings between affine spaces, the notion of $n$-th polarization of a function will lead to an intrinsic characterization of polynomial functions. We prove that the characteristic features of derivations, such as…
