Let $\Omega$ be an unbounded two dimensional strip on a ruled surface in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq2$. Consider the Laplacian operator in $\Omega$ with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions on opposite sides of $\Omega$. We prove some…

Results of Haagerup and Schultz (2009) about existence of invariant subspaces that decompose the Brown measure are extended to a large class of unbounded operators affiliated to a tracial von Neumann algebra. These subspaces are used to…
For any n-by-n complex matrix T and any $1\leqslant k\leqslant n$, let $\Lambda_{k}(T)$ the set of all $\lambda\in \C$ such that $PTP=\lambda P$ for some rank-k orthogonal projection $P$ be its higher rank-k numerical range. It is shown…
Given a DT-operator $Z$ whose Brown measure is radially symmetric and has a certain concentration property, it is shown that $Z$ is not spectral in the sense of Dunford. This is accomplished by showing that the angles between certain…
We consider commutative C* -algebras of Toeplitz operators in the weighted Bergman space on the unit ball in $\mathbb{C}^{\mathbf{n}}$. For the algebras of elliptic type we find a new representation, namely as the algebra of operators which…
Researchers have identified complex matrices $A$ such that a bounded linear operator $B$ acting on a Hilbert space will admit a dilation of the form $A \otimes I$ whenever the numerical range inclusion relation $W(B) \subseteq W(A)$ holds.…
Let $\mathcal{G}_{n, \beta^*}$ $(\mathcal{G}^*_{n,\beta^*})$ be the set of all (connected) graphs of order $n$ with fractional matching number $\beta^*$. In this paper, the graphs with maximal spectral radius in $\mathcal{G}_{n,\beta^*}$…
The Stone spectrum of a von Neumann algebra is a generalization of the Gelfand spectrum, as was shown by de Groote. In this article we clarify the structure of the Stone spectra of von Neumann algebras of type $I_{n}$.
We analyze the spectral properties of a self-adjoint second-order differential operator $\hat{C}$, defined on the Hilbert space $L^2([-v_c, v_c])$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We derive the discrete spectrum $\{C_n\}$, prove the…
Given two trace class operators A and B on a separable Hilbert space we provide an upper bound for the Hausdorff distance of their spectra involving only the distance of A and B in operator norm and the singular values of A and B. By…
We characterize the spectrum (and its parts) of operators which can be represented as G=A+BC for a simpler operator A and a structured perturbation BC. The interest in this kind of perturbations is motivated, e.g., by perturbations of the…
We study the spectrum of operators $aT\in B(H)$ on a Hilbert space $H$ where $T$ is an isometry and $a$ belongs to a commutative $C^*$-subalgebra $C(X)\cong A\subseteq B(H)$ such that the formula $L(a)=T^*aT$ defines a faithful transfer…
Affiliated and normal operators in octonion Hilbert spaces are studied. Theorems about their properties and of related algebras are demonstrated. Spectra of unbounded normal operators are investigated.
Let $H$ be a real Hilbert space. In this short note, using some of the properties of bounded linear operators with closed range defined on $H$, certain bounds for a specific convex subset of the solution set of infinite linear…
In this paper, we obtain the sharp upper and lower bounds for the spectral radius of a nonnegative irreducible matrix. We also apply these bounds to various matrices associated with a graph or a digraph, obtain some new results or known…
Let $T$ be an operator on a Hilbert space $H$ with numerical radius $w(T)\le1$. According to a theorem of Berger and Stampfli, if $f$ is a function in the disk algebra such that $f(0)=0$, then $w(f(T))\le\|f\|_\infty$. We give a new and…
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…
The scaled relative graph (SRG) of an operator is a subset of the complex plane. It captures several salient features of an operator, such as contractiveness, and can be used to reveal the geometric nature of many of the inequality based…
A spectral reformulation of the Riemann hypothesis was obtained in [LaMa2] by the second author and H. Maier in terms of an inverse spectral problem for fractal strings. This problem is related to the question "Can one hear the shape of a…
