We prove the little Grothendieck theorem for any 2-convex noncommutative symmetric space. Let $\M$ be a von Neumann algebra equipped with a normal faithful semifinite trace $\t$, and let $E$ be an r.i. space on $(0, \8)$. Let $E(\M)$ be the…

It is shown that the *-algebra of all (closed densely defined linear) operators affiliated with a finite type I von Neumann algebra admits a unique center-valued trace, which turns out to be, in a sense, normal. It is also demonstrated that…

Given a von Neumann algebra $M$ we consider the central extension $E(M)$ of $M.$ For type I von Neumann algebras $E(M)$ coincides with the algebra $LS(M)$ of all locally measurable operators affiliated with $M.$ In this case we show that an…

A topological group $G$ is called extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. This concept is linked with geometry of high dimensions (concentration of measure). We show that a von Neumann…

The classical inequality of Bohr concerning Taylor coeficients of bounded holomorphic functions on the unit disk, has proved to be of significance in answering in the negative the conjecture that if the non-unital von Neumann inequality…

The Helton-Howe measure associated with an almost normal operator was constructed by Helton and Howe. It provides a trace formula that allows us to calculate the trace of commutators that would otherwise be incalculable. We will investigate…

Dykema, Sukochev and Zanin used a Peano curve covering the support of the Brown measure of an operator T in a diffuse, finite von Neumann algebra to give an ordering to the support of the Brown measure, and create a decomposition T = N + Q,…

Let a countable amenable group G acts freely and ergodically on a Lebesgue space (X,mu), preserving the measure mu. If T is an automorphism of the equivalence relation defined by G then T can be extended to an automorphism alpha_T of the…

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…

Weyl-von Neumann Theorem asserts that two bounded self-adjoint operators $A,B$ on a Hilbert space $H$ are unitarily equivalent modulo compacts, i.e., $uAu^*+K=B$ for some unitary $u\in \mathcal{U}(H)$ and compact self-adjoint operator $K$,…

Let $(X,d,\mu )$ be a space of homogeneous type in the sense of Coifman and Weiss, i.e. $d$ is a quasi metric on $X$ and $\mu $ is a positive measure satisfying the doubling condition. Suppose that $u$ and $v$ are two locally finite…

We study expansions of Hilbert spaces with a bounded normal operator $T$. We axiomatize this theory in a natural language and identify all of its completions. We prove the definability of the adjoint $T^*$ and prove quantifier elimination…

In \cite{bik1}, A. M. Bikchentaev conjectured that for positive $\tau-$measurable operators $a$ and $b$ affiliated with an arbitrary semifinite von Neumann algebra $\mathcal M$, the operator $b^{1/2}ab^{1/2}$ is submajorized by the operator…

The notion of uniform equicontinuity in measure at zero for sequences of additive maps from a normed space into the space of measurable operators associated with a semifinite von Neumann algebra is discussed. It is shown that uniform…

In this paper an automorphism of a unital C*-algebra is said to be /locally inner/ if on any element it agrees with some inner automorphism. We make a fairly complete study of local innerness in von Neumann algebras, incorporating…

Composition operators with analytic symbols on some reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of entire functions on a complex Hilbert space are studied. The questions of their boundedness, seminormality and positivity are investigated. It is…

Let $A_r=\{r<|z|<1\}$ be an annulus. We consider the class of operators $\mathcal{F}_r:=\{T\in\mathcal{B}(H): r^2T^{-1}(T^{-1})^*+TT^*\le r^2+1,\hspace{0.08 cm}\sigma(T)\subset A_r\}$ and show that for every bounded holomorphic function…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a separable von Neumann algebra with center $\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{M})$. An operator $T$ in $\mathcal{M}$ is called irreducible if the von Neumann algebra $W^*(T)$ generated by $T$ has trivial relative commutant, i.e.,…

If $\mu$ is a finite measure on the unit disc and $k\ge 0$ is an integer, we study a generalization derived from Englis's work, $T_\mu^{(k)}$, of the traditional Toeplitz operators on the Bergman space $A^2$, which are the case $k=0$. Among…
