We prove a general criterion for a von Neumann algebra $M$ in order to be in standard form. It is formulated in terms of an everywhere defined, invertible, antilinear, a priori not necessarily bounded operator, intertwining $M$ with its…

Let $\mathfrak{M}$ be a semifinite von Neumann algebra on a Hilbert space equipped with a faithful normal semifinite trace $\tau$. A closed densely defined operator $x$ affiliated with $\mathfrak{M}$ is called $\tau$-measurable if there…

The concepts of weighted numerical radius has been defined in recent times. In this article, we obtain several upper bound for weighted numerical radius of operators and $2 \times 2$ operator matrices which generalize and improves some well…

A subnormal weighted shift may be transformed to another shift in various ways, such as taking the p-th power of each weight or forming the Aluthge transform. \ We determine in a number of cases whether the resulting shift is subnormal,…

A Toeplitz operator $T_\varphi$, $\varphi \in L^\infty(\mathbb{T}^n)$, is a partial isometry if and only if there exist inner functions $\varphi_1, \varphi_2 \in H^\infty(\mathbb{D}^n)$ such that $\varphi_1$ and $\varphi_2$ depends on…

Normality of bounded and unbounded adjointable operators are discussed. Suppose $T$ is an adjointable operator between Hilbert C*-modules which has polar decomposition, then $T$ is normal if and only if there exists a unitary operator $…

In the paper, we prove an analogue of the Kato-Rosenblum theorem in a semifinite von Neumann algebra. Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a countably decomposable, properly infinite, semifinite von Neumann algebra acting on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$…

An equivalent formulation of the von Neumann inequality states that the backward shift $S^*$ on $\ell_{2}$ is extremal, in the sense that if $T$ is a Hilbert space contraction, then $\|p(T)\| \leq \|p(S^*)\|$ for each polynomial $p$. We…

Let $M$ be a von Neumann algebra equipped with a normal semi-finite faithful trace (nsf trace in short) and let $T\colon M\to M$ be a contraction. We say that $T$ is absolutely dilatable if there exist another von Neumann algebra $M'$…

To each finite-dimensional operator space $E$ is associated a commutative operator algebra $UC(E)$, so that $E$ embeds completely isometrically in $UC(E)$ and any completely contractive map from $E$ to bounded operators on Hilbert space…

Let $(X,\mathcal{A}, \mu)$ be a probability measure space and let $T_i,$ $1\leq i\leq H,$ be commuting invertible measure preserving transformations on this measure space. We prove the following pointwise results; The averages…

Every unital nonselfadjoint operator algebra possesses canonical and functorial classes of faithful (even completely isometric) Hilbert space representations satisfying a double commutant theorem generalizing von Neumann's classical result.…

Let $A$ be a complex square matrix, and write its polar decomposition as $A=U|A|$. For $0<\lambda<1$, the $\lambda$-Aluthge transform of $A$ is defined by $$ \Delta_\lambda(A)=|A|^\lambda U|A|^{1-\lambda}. $$ In 2007, Huang and Tam…

The finite Hilbert transform $T$, when acting in the classical Zygmund space $\logl$ (over $(-1,1)$), was intensively studied in \cite{curbera-okada-ricker-log}. In this note an integral representation of $T$ is established via the…

It is shown that the algebra \(L^\infty(\mu)\) of all bounded measurable functions with respect to a finite measure \(\mu\) is localizing on the Hilbert space \(L^2(\mu)\) if and only if the measure \(\mu\) has an atom. Next, it is shown…

Consider a path of the reflected Brownian motion in the half-plane $\{y \ge 0\}$, and erase its part contained in the interior $\{y > 0\}$. What is left is, in an appropriate sense, a path of a jump-type stochastic process on the line $\{y…
