We consider an action of the circle group, T on a von Neumann algebra, M. Similarly to the case when the algebra of essentially bounded functions on T is acted upon by translations, we define the generalized Hardy subspace of H,where H is…

Partition functions of certain classes of "spin glass" models in statistical physics show strong connections to combinatorial graph invariants. Also known as homomorphism functions they allow for the representation of many such invariants,…

A seminal result of Agler characterizes the so-called Schur-Agler class of functions on the polydisk in terms of a unitary colligation transfer function representation. We generalize this to the unit ball of the algebra of multipliers for a…

In this paper, we introduce a general class of weighted spaces of holomorphic Dirichlet series (with real frequencies) analytic in some half-plane and study composition operators on these spaces. In the particular case when the symbol…

In the first part of the article we introduce $C^*$-algebras associated to self-similar groups and study their properties and relations to known algebras. The algebras are constructed as sub-algebras of the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra (and its…

We study factorizations of operator valued functions of weighted Schur classes over multiply-connected domains. There is a correspondence between functions from weighted Schur classes and so-called ``conservative curved'' systems introduced…

Let $\{K_t\}_{t>0}$ be the semigroup of linear operators generated by a Schr\"odinger operator $-L=\Delta - V(x)$ on $\mathbb R^d$, $d\geq 3$, where $V(x)\geq 0$ satisfies $\Delta^{-1} V\in L^\infty$. We say that an $L^1$-function $f$…

Let $A$ be one of the following Clifford algebras : $\mathbb{R}_2 \cong \mathbb{H}$ or $\mathbb{R}_3$. For the algebra $A$, the automorphism group $Aut(A)$ and its invariants are well known. In this paper we will describe the invariants of…

We compare the rate of decay of singular numbers of a given composition operator acting on various Hilbert spaces of analytic functions on the unit disk $\D$. We show that for the Hardy and Bergman spaces, our results are sharp. We also…

Suppose $E$ is a subset of the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$ and $H^\infty\subset L^\infty$ is the Hardy subalgebra. We examine the problem of finding the distance from the characteristic function of $E$ to $z^nH^\infty$. This admits an…

We introduce a large family of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces $\mathcal{H} \subset \mbox{Hol}(\mathbb{D})$, which include the classical Dirichlet-type spaces $\mathcal{D}_\alpha$, by requiring normalized monomials to form a Riesz basis…

Motivated by potential theory on discrete spaces, we study a family of unbounded Hermitian operators in Hilbert space which generalize the usual graph-theoretic discrete Laplacian. These operators are discrete analogues of the classical…

We introduce a class of non-commutative, complex, infinite-dimensional Heisenberg like Lie groups based on an abstract Wiener space. The holomorphic functions which are also square integrable with respect to a heat kernel measure $\mu$ on…

We show that Lie groups and their respective algebras, special functions and rigged Hilbert spaces are complementary concepts that coexist together in a common framework and that they are aspects of the same mathematical reality. Special…

We first characterize those composition operators that are essentially normal on the weighted Bergman space $A^2_s(D)$ for any real $s>-1$, where induced symbols are automorphisms of the unit disk $D$. Using the same technique, we…
