Motivated by Ball, Li, Timotin and Trent's Schur-Agler class version of commutant lifting theorem, we introduce a class, denoted by $\mathcal{P}_n(\mathcal{H})$, of $n$-tuples of commuting contractions on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. We…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a semifinite von Neumann algebra on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ equipped with a faithful normal semifinite trace $\tau$, $S(\mathcal{M},\tau)$ be the ${}^*$-algebra of all $\tau$-measurable operators. Let…

It is well known that the kernel of a Toeplitz operator is nearly invariant under the backward shift $S^*$. This paper shows that kernels of finite-rank perturbations of Toeplitz operators are nearly $S^*$-invariant with finite defect. This…

For a hyponormal operator, C. R. Putnam's inequality gives an upper bound on the norm of its self-commutator. In the special case of a Toeplitz operator with analytic symbol in the Smirnov space of a domain, there is also a geometric lower…

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…

In this paper, more inequalities between the operator norm and its numerical radius, for the class of normal operators, are established. Some of the obtained results are based on recent reverse results for the Schwarz inequality in Hilbert…

We say that a contractive Hilbert space operator is universal if there is a natural surjection from its generated C*-algebra to the C*-algebra generated by any other contraction. A universal contraction may be irreducible or a direct sum of…

This paper is a follow-up contribution to our work [20] where we discussed some invariant subspace results for contractions on Hilbert spaces. Here we extend the results of [20] to the context of n-tuples of bounded linear operators on…

Let ${\mathbb B}(\mathscr H)$ denote the set of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space ${\mathscr H}$. In this paper, we present some norm inequalities for sums of operators which are a generalization of some recent…

In this paper we introduce a new technique for proving norm inequalities in operator ideals with an unitarily invariant norm. Among the well known inequalities which can be proved with this technique are the L\"owner-Heinz inequality,…

We prove that the backward shift operator on $H^4$ has norm equal to $\sqrt[4]{\varphi}$, with $\varphi = \frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}$. Furthermore, we characterize all extremal functions; they are precisely the functions of the form \[ f(z) =…

A commuting tuple of Hilbert space operators $(T_1, \dotsc, T_n)$ is said to be an \textit{$\mathbb{A}_r^n$-contraction} if the closure of the polyannulus \[ \mathbb A_r^n=\left\{(z_1, \dotsc, z_n) \ : \ r<|z_i|<1, \ 1 \leq i \leq n…

We present a way of defining the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator on general Hilbert spaces using a pair of operators for which each one's adjoint is formally the negative of the other. In particular, we define an abstract analogue of trace…

We reconsider studies of Toeplitz operators on function spaces (the weighted Bergman space, the generalized derivative Hardy space) and the H-Toeplitz operators on the Bergman space. Past studies have considered the presence or absence of…

We consider operators acting on a Hilbert space that can be written as the sum of a shift and a diagonal operator and determine when the operator is hyponormal. The condition is presented in terms of the norm of an explicit block Jacobi…

In this work, a pre-Gr\"{u}ss inequality for positive Hilbert space operators is proved. So that, some numerical radius inequalities are proved. On the other hand, based on a non-commutative Binomial formula, a non-commutative upper bound…

A d-contraction is a d-tuple $(T_1,...,T_d)$ of mutually commuting operators acting on a common Hilbert space H such that $ \|T_1\xi_1+T_2\xi_2+... +T_d\xi_d\|^2\leq \|\xi_1\|^2+\|\xi_2\|^2+...+\|\xi_d\|^2 $ for all…

A classification of weakly compact multiplication operators on L(L_p), $1<p<\infty$, is given. This answers a question raised by Saksman and Tylli in 1992. The classification involves the concept of $\ell_p$-strictly singular operators, and…

Convolution with an appropriate surface measure on a paraboloid in R^d defines a bounded operator T from L^p(R^d) to L^q(R^d) for certain exponents p,q. In this article it is proved that there exist functions which extremize the associated…
