In this paper we present some spectral property for quotient bounded operators and locally bounded operators on locally convex spaces. We introduce the spectral radius of a quotient bounded operator and we show that the Gelfand formula for…

Given a total sequence in a Hilbert space, we speak of an upper (resp. lower) semi-frame if only the upper (resp. lower) frame bound is valid. Equivalently, for an upper semi-frame, the frame operator is bounded, but has an unbounded…

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…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be an atomless semifinite von Neumann algebra (or an atomic von Neumann algebra with all atoms having the same trace) acting on a (not necessarily separable) Hilbert space $H$ equipped with a semifinite faithful normal…

For a linear operator $T$ in a Banach space let $\sigma_p(T)$ denote the point spectrum of $T$, $\sigma_{p[n]}(T)$ for finite $n > 0$ be the set of all $\lambda \in \sigma_p(T)$ such that $\dim \ker (T - \lambda) = n$ and let…

Let $\A$ be a $C^*-$algebra with unit element $1$ and unitary group $U.$ Let $a=(a_1, ..., a_k)$ and $b=(b_1, ..., b_k)$ two $k-$tuples of elements in $\A.$ The elementary operator associated to $a$ and $b$ is defined by $ R_{a, b} (x)=…

The starting points for this paper are simple descriptions of the norm and strong* closures of the unitary orbit of a normal operator in a von Neumann algebra. The statements are in terms of spectral data and do not depend on the type or…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a right quaternionic Hilbert space and let $T$ be a bounded normal right quaternionic linear operator on $\mathcal{H}$. In this paper, we prove that there exists a unique spectral measure $E$ in $\mathcal{H}$ such that…

We prove that for every bounded linear operator $T:X\to X$, where $X$ is a non-reflexive quotient of a von Neumann algebra, the point spectrum of $T^*$ is non-empty (i.e. for some $\lambda\in\mathbb C$ the operator $\lambda I-T$ fails to…

We study spectral properties of the Neumann-Poincar\'e operator on planar domains with corners with particular emphasis on existence of continuous spectrum and pure point spectrum. We show that the rate of resonance at continuous spectrum…

Real linear operators between two complex Banach spaces unify naturally two important classes of linear operators and antilinear operators. We give a survey of basic geometric, spectral and duality properties of real linear operators. The…

We investigate the generalized quadratic operator defined by $$T =\left( \begin{array}{cc} a I_H & A \\ c A^* & bI_K \end{array} \right) ,$$ where $H$ and $K$ are Hilbert spaces, $A:K\to H$ is a bounded linear operator, $I_H$ and $I_K$…

A classical theorem of von Neumann asserts that every unbounded self-adjoint operator $A$ in a separable Hilbert space $H$ is unitarily equivalent to an operator $B$ in $H$ such that $D(A)\cap D(B)=\{0\}$. Equivalently this can be…

In this paper we extend the traditional framework of noncommutative geometry in order to deal with spectral truncations of geometric spaces (i.e. imposing an ultraviolet cutoff in momentum space) and with tolerance relations which provide a…

We present new upper and lower bounds for the numerical radius of a bounded linear operator defined on a complex Hilbert space, which improve on the existing bounds. Among many other inequalities proved in this article, we show that for a…

We completely characterize the Crawford number attainment set and the numerical radius attainment set of a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space. We study the intersection properties of the corresponding attainment sets of numerical…

Let $A=\begin{bmatrix} A_{ij} \end{bmatrix}$ be an $n\times n$ operator matrix, where each $A_{ij}$ is a bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space. Among other numerical radius bounds, we show that $w(A)\leq w(\hat{A})$, where…

Which convex subsets of the complex plane are the numerical range W(A of some matrix A? This paper gives a precise characterization of these sets. In addition to this we show that for any A there exists a symmetric matrix B of the same size…

For a square matrix, the range of its Rayleigh quotients is known as the numerical range, which is a compact and convex set by the Toeplitz-Hausdorff theorem. The largest value and the smallest boundary value (in magnitude) of this convex…
