In his monograph on Infinite Abelian Groups, I. Kaplansky raised three ``test problems" concerning their structure and multiplicity. As noted by Azoff, these problems make sense for any category admitting a direct sum operation. Here, we…

We prove that any bijective fidelity preserving transformation on the set of all density operators on a Hilbert space is implemented by an either unitary or antiunitary operator on the underlying Hilbert space.

We consider a dilation operator on Besov spaces $(B^s_{r,t}(K))$ over local fields and estimate an operator norm on such a field for $s > \sigma_r = \text{max}\big(\frac{1}{r} -1,~0\big)$ which depends on the constant $k$ unlike the case of…

Let F be a right Hilbert C*-module over a C*-algebra B, and suppose that F is equipped with a left action, by compact operators, of a second C*-algebra A. Tensor product with F gives a functor from Hilbert C*-modules over A to Hilbert…

Let $\Delta$ be a $(d-1)$-dimensional simplicial complex and $h^ \Delta = (h_0^ \Delta ,\ldots, h_d^ \Delta)$ its $h$-vector. For a face uniform subdivision operation ${\mathcal F}$ we write $\Delta_{\mathcal F}$ for the subdivided complex…

We study two extension problems, and their interconnections: (i) extension of positive definite (p.d.) continuous functions defined on subsets in locally compact groups $G$; and (ii) (in case of Lie groups $G$) representations of the…

Let $\mu$ be a positive Borel measure on the interval [0,1). For $\beta > 0$, The generalized Hankel matrix $\mathcal{H}_{\mu,\beta}= (\mu_{n,k,\beta})_{n,k\geq0}$ with entries $\mu_{n,k,\beta}=…

If $\mu $ is a positive Borel measure on the interval $[0, 1)$ we let $\mathcal H_\mu $ be the Hankel matrix $\mathcal H_\mu =(\mu_{n, k})_{n,k\ge 0}$ with entries $\mu_{n, k}=\mu_{n+k}$, where, for $n\,=\,0, 1, 2, \dots $, $\mu_n$ denotes…

Suppose $A$ is a pro-C*-algebra. Let $L_{A}(E)$ be the pro-C*-algebra of adjointable operators on a Hilbert $A$-module $E$ and let $K_{A}(E)$ be the closed two sided $*$-ideal of all compact operators on $E$. We prove that if $E$ be a full…

We show that every Hankel operator $H$ is unitarily equivalent to a pseudo-differential operator $A$ of a special structure acting in the space $L^2 ({\Bbb R}) $. As an example, we consider integral operators $H$ in the space $L^2 ({\Bbb…

The composition operators preserving total non-negativity and total positivity for various classes of kernels are classified, following three themes. Letting a function act by post composition on kernels with arbitrary domains, it is shown…

A semiregular operator on a Hilbert C^*-module, or equivalently, on the C^*-algebra of `compact' operators on it, is a closable densely defined operator whose adjoint is also densely defined. It is shown that for operators on extensions of…

Given Hilbert space operators $P,T\in B(\H), P\geq 0$ invertible, $T$ is $(m,P)-$ expansive (resp., $(m,P)-$ isometric) for some positive integer $m$ if…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a separable infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space and let $\mathcal{J}$ be a two-sided ideal of the algebra of bounded operators $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$. The groups $\mathcal{G} \ell_\mathcal{J}$ and…

A truncated Toeplitz operator is the compression $A_{\phi}:\K_{\Theta} \to \K_{\Theta}$ of a Toeplitz operator $T_{\phi}:H^2\to H^2$ to a model space $\K_{\Theta} := H^2 \ominus \Theta H^2$. For $\Theta$ inner, let $\T_{\Theta}$ denote the…

Theorem 1. Given a number c >= 1, there exists a J-unitary operator \hat{V}, such that: (a) r(\hat{V})= r(\hat{V}^{-1})= c ; (b) S(c^{-1}\hat{V})=S(c^{-1}\hat{V}^{-1}) =S(c^{-1}\hat{V}^{*-1}) = S(c^{-1}\hat{V}^*)={0} (c) there exist maximal…

Continuity, compactness, the spectrum and ergodic properties of the differentiation operator are investigated, when it acts in the Fr\'echet space of all Dirichlet series that are uniformly convergent in all half-planes $\{s \in \mathbb{C}…

We establish some operator versions of Bellman's inequality. In particular, we prove that if $\Phi: \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H}) \to \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{K})$ is a unital positive linear map, $A,B \in \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H})$ are contractions,…

Let $F\in W^{1,n}_{\text{loc}}(\Omega; \Bbb R^n)$ be a mapping with nonnegative Jacobian $J_F(x)=\det DF(x)\ge 0$ for a.e. $x$ in a domain $\Omega\subset\Bbb R^n$. The {\it dilatation} of $F$ is defined (almost everywhere in $\Omega$) by…

We introduce a notion called `maximal commuting piece' for tuples of Hilbert space operators. Given a commuting tuple of operators forming a row contraction there are two commonly used dilations in multivariable operator theory. Firstly…
