Recently a new equivalence relation between weak* closed operator spaces acting on Hilbert spaces has appeared. Two weak* closed operator spaces U, V are called weak TRO equivalent if there exist ternary rings of operators M_i, i=1,2 such…

We study several classes of indecomposable representations of quivers on infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces and their relation. Many examples are constructed using strongly irreducible operators. Some problems in operator theory are…

Let End(V) denote the ring of all linear transformations of an arbitrary k-vector space V over a field k. We define a subset X of End(V) to be "triangularizable" if V has a well-ordered basis such that X sends each vector in that basis to…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $p\geqslant 0$, let $H$ be a proper closed subgroup of $G$ and let $V$ be a nontrivial irreducible $KG$-module, which is $p$-restricted, tensor…

Let $\V$ be a vector space over a field $\F$. Assume that the characteristic of $\F$ is \emph{large}, i.e. $char(\F)>\dim \V$. Let $T: \V \to \V$ be an invertible linear map. We answer the following question in this paper: When does $\V$…

We show that finitely subgraded Lie algebras of compact operators have invariant subspaces when conditions of quasinilpotence are imposed on certain components of the subgrading. This allows us to obtain some useful information about the…

Let T:=[T_1,..., T_n] be an n-tuple of operators on a Hilbert space such that T is a completely non-coisometric row contraction. We establish the existence of a "one-to-one" correspondence between the joint invariant subspaces under…

The invariant subspace problem (ISP) is a well known unsolved problem in funtional analysis. While many partial results are known, the general case for complex, infinite dimensional separable Hilbert spaces is still open. It has been shown…

We show that if A is a Hilbert-space operator, then the set of all projections onto hyperinvariant subspaces of A, which is contained in the von Neumann algebra vN(A) that is generated by A, is independent of the representation of vN(A),…

The simplest and most natural examples of completely nonunitary contractions on separable complex Hilbert spaces which have polynomial characteristic functions are the nilpotent operators. The main purpose of this paper is to prove the…

Definition. Let J be a period-2 unitary operator (some people say J is reflection operator or reflection symmetry) and U be a linear operator. If U^*JU = J (resp. U^*JU >= J) then U is said to be J-isometry (resp. J-noncontraction). If…

For each two-dimensional vector space $V$ of commuting $n\times n$ matrices over a field $\mathbb F$ with at least 3 elements, we denote by $\widetilde V$ the vector space of all $(n+1)\times(n+1)$ matrices of the form…

Results of Haagerup and Schultz (2009) about existence of invariant subspaces that decompose the Brown measure are extended to a large class of unbounded operators affiliated to a tracial von Neumann algebra. These subspaces are used to…

It is shown that if the Deddens algebra ${\mathcal D}_T$ associated with a quasinilpotent operator $T$ on a complex Banach space is closed and localizing then $T$ has a nontrivial closed hyperinvariant subspace.

Let (N,K) be a nilpotent Gelfand pair, i.e., N is a nilpotent Lie group, K a compact group of automorphisms of N, and the algebra D(N)^K of left-invariant and K-invariant differential operators on N is commutative. In these hypotheses, N is…

Finite rank perturbations of diagonalizable normal operators acting boundedly on infinite dimensional, separable, complex Hilbert spaces are considered from the standpoint of view of the existence of invariant subspaces. In particular, if…

Finite dimensional linear spaces (both complex and real) with indefinite scalar product [.,.] are considered. Upper and lower bounds are given for the size of an indecomposable matrix that is normal with respect to this scalar product in…

We prove that a large class of trace-class perturbations of diagonalizable normal operators on a separable, infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space have non-trivial closed hyperinvariant subspaces. Moreover, a large subclass consists of…

We investigate the $n$th root problem for bounded operators on a Hilbert space within the class of conditionally positive definite (CPD) operators determined by the L\'evy--Khintchine formula. The class contains subnormal operators,…

A linear operator $U$ acting boundedly on an infinite-dimensional separable complex Hilbert space $H$ is universal if every linear bounded operator acting on $H$ is similar to a scalar multiple of a restriction of $U$ to one of its…
