The notion of the higher rank numerical range $\Lambda_{k}(L(\lambda))$ for matrix polynomials $L(\lambda)=A_{m}\lambda^{m}+...+A_{1}\lambda+A_{0}$ is introduced here and some fundamental geometrical properties are investigated. Further,…

Let $H_0$ be a self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ endowed with a rigging $F,$ which is a zero-kernel closed operator from $\mathcal H$ to another Hilbert space $\mathcal K$ such that the sandwiched resolvent $F (H_0 -…

Given an n-tuple {b_1, ..., b_n} of self-adjoint operators in a finite von Neumann algebra M and a faithful, normal tracial state tau on M, we define a map Psi from M to R^{n+1} by Psi(a) = (tau(a), tau(b_1a), ..., tau(b_na)). The image of…

The numerical range in the quaternionic setting is, in general, a non convex subset of the quaternions. The essential numerical range is a refinement of the numerical range that only keeps the elements that have, in a certain sense,…

The k-core of a graph G is the maximal subgraph of G having minimum degree at least k. In 1996, Pittel, Spencer and Wormald found the threshold $\lambda_c$ for the emergence of a non-trivial k-core in the random graph $G(n,\lambda/n)$, and…

Motivated by applications in quantum information and quantum control, a new type of $C$"-numerical range, the relative $C$"-numerical range denoted $W_K(C,A)$, is introduced. It arises upon replacing the unitary group U(N) in the definition…

In this work, we focus on the multiplicity of singular spectrum for operators of the form $A^\omega=A+\sum_{n}\omega_n C_n$ on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, for a self-adjoint operator $A$ and a countable collection $\{C_n\}_{n}$…

We consider problems associated with the computation of spectra of self-adjoint operators in terms of the eigenvalue distributions of their n x n sections. Under rather general circumstances, we show how these eigenvalues accumulate near…

We construct commutative algebra spectra that represent the operator $K$-theory of $C^*$-algebras, which are algebras over the commutative ring spectra that represent topological $K$-theory. The spectral multiplicative structure introduces…

This is a survey about spectral sets, to appear in the second edition of Handbook of Linear Algebra (L. Hogben, ed.). Spectral sets and K-spectral sets, introduced by John von Neumann, offer a possibility to estimate the norm of functions…

Let $A\colon H\rightarrow H$ be a normal operator on an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space $H$ and let $S\subseteq H$ be a finite subset such that $\{A^nx\}_{n\geq 0,\,x\in S}$ can be rescaled to form a frame for $H$. That is,…

We introduce the concept of essential numerical range $W_{\!e}(T)$ for unbounded Hilbert space operators $T$ and study its fundamental properties including possible equivalent characterizations and perturbation results. Many of the…

This paper generalizes and unifies the existing spectral bounds on the $k$-independence number of a graph, which is the maximum size of a set of vertices at pairwise distance greater than $k$. The previous bounds known in the literature…

We give new necessary and sufficient conditions for the numerical range $W(T)$ of an operator $T \in \mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ to be a subset of the closed elliptical set $K_\delta \subseteq \mathbb{C}$ given by \[ K_\delta {\stackrel{\rm…

This paper extends the notion of a spectral triple to a relative spectral triple, an unbounded analogue of a relative Fredholm module for an ideal $J\triangleleft A$. Examples include manifolds with boundary, manifolds with conical…

Let $X$ be a smooth irreducible projective variety over a field $\mathbf{k}$ of dimension $d.$ Let $\tau: \mathbb{Q}_l\to \mathbb{C}$ be any field embedding. Let $f: X\to X$ be a surjective endomorphism. We show that for every…

We investigate when the algebraic numerical range is a $C$-spectral set in a Banach algebra. While providing several counterexamples based on classical ideas as well as combinatorial Banach spaces, we discuss positive results for matrix…

A theorem of H\"ubner states that non-round boundary points of the numerical range of a linear operator, i.e. points where the boundary has infinite curvature, are contained in the spectrum of the operator. In this note, answering a…

Let $ \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H})$ represent the $C^*$-algebra, which consists of all bounded linear operators on $\mathscr{H},$ and let $N ( .) $ be a norm on $ \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H})$. We define a norm $w_{(N,e)} (. , . )$ on $…

For a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$, we obtain some trace formulas for the Laplacian tensor of $H$, which imply that $\sum_{i=1}^nd_i^s$ ($s=1,\ldots,k$) is determined by the Laplacian spectrum of $H$, where $d_1,\ldots,d_n$ is the degree…
