In this paper, we consider real and complex algebras as well as algebras over general fields. In Section 2, we revisit and prove several results on (quadratic) algebras over general fields. As an example, we demonstrate that a quadratic…

Let $\mu_{q, b}$ be the Cantor measure associated with the iterated function system $f_i(x)=x/b+i/q, 0\le i\le q-1$, where $2\le q, b/q\in \Z$. In this paper, we consider spectra and maximal orthogonal sets of the Cantor measure $\mu_{q,…

Developed in 1999 by Akemann, Anderson, and Weaver, the spectral scale of an $n\times n$ matrix $A$, is a convex, compact subset of $\mathbb{R}^3$ that reveals important spectral information about $A$ \cite{AAW}. In this paper we present…

Let $D$ be a bounded convex domain in $\mathbb{C}$ with a regular analytic boundary. Suppose that the numerical range $W(A)$ of a bounded linear operator $A$ is contained in $\overline{D}$. If $\overline{W(A)}$ intersects the boundary…

We prove that two n-by-n matrices A and B have their rank-k numerical ranges $\Lambda_k(A)$ and $\Lambda_k(B)$ equal to each other for all k, $1\le k\le \lfloor n/2\rfloor+1$, if and only if their Kippenhahn polynomials…

In this article we discuss a few spectral properties of a paranormal closed operator (not necessarily bounded) defined in a Hilbert space. This class contains closed symmetric operators. First we show that the spectrum of such an operator…

Let $W(z)$ be a $n\times n$ matrix polynomial with rational coefficients. Denote $C$ the spectral curve $\det \left( w\cdot{\bf 1}-W(z)\right) =0$. Under some natural assumptions about the structure of $W(z)$ we prove that certain…

The main goal of this work is to introduce an analogous in the non-archimedean context of the Gelfand spaces of certain Banach commutative algebras with unit. In order to do that, we study the spectrum of this algebras and we show that,…

A continuous map $\mathbb{C}^n\to Gr(\tau, N)$ is $k$-regular if the $\tau$-dimensional subspaces corresponding to images of any $k$ distinct points span a $\tau k$-dimensional space. For $\tau = 1$ this essentially recovers the classical…

We construct a locally compact Hausdorff topology on the path space of a finitely aligned $k$-graph $\Lambda$. We identify the boundary-path space $\partial\Lambda$ as the spectrum of a commutative $C^*$-subalgebra $D_\Lambda$ of…

Let $\mathscr{H}$ be a complex Hilbert space, and let $\mathscr{B}(\mathscr{H})$ denote the set of all bounded operators on $\mathscr{H}$ . For an operator $T \in \mathscr{B}(\mathscr{H})$, let $|T| := (T^*T)^{\frac{1}{2}}$. For $A$ in…
