The famous Lomonosov's invariant subspace theorem states that if a continuous linear operator T on an infinite-dimensional normed space E "commutes" with a compact nonzero operator K, i.e., TK=KT, then T has a non-trivial closed invariant…

An operator $T$ on a Banach space is said to be of chain $N$ if there exist non-scalar operators $S_1,...,S_{N-1}$ and a non-zero compact $K$ such that $$T \leftrightarrow S_1 \leftrightarrow S_2 \leftrightarrow ...\leftrightarrow S_{N-1}…

It is known that for every Banach space X and every proper WOT-closed subalgebra A of L(X), if A contains a compact operator then it is not transitive. That is, there exist non-zero x in X and f in X* such that f(Tx)=0 for all T in A. In…

Real linear operators emerge in a range of mathematical physics applications. In this paper spectral questions of compact real linear operators are addressed. A Lomonosov-type invariant subspace theorem for antilinear compact operators is…

For commuting linear operators $P_0,P_1,..., P_\ell$ we describe a range of conditions which are weaker than invertibility. When any of these conditions hold we may study the composition $P=P_0P_1... P_\ell$ in terms of the component…

We introduce a notion of joint spectrum for a tuple of compact operators on a separable Hilbert space and show that in many situations these operators commute if and only if the joint spectrum consists of countably many, locally finite,…

The operators on $\LP=L_p[0,1]$, $1\leq p<\infty$, which are not commutators are those of the form $\lambda I + S$ where $\lambda\neq 0$ and $S$ belongs to the largest ideal in $\opLP$. The proof involves new structural results for…

We study the problem of extension and lifting of operators belonging to certain operator ideals, as well as that of their associated polynomials and holomorphic functions. Our results provide a characterization of $\mathcal{L}_1$ and…

Lueders theorem states that two observables commute if measuring one of them does not disturb the measurement outcomes of the other. We study measurements which are described by continuous positive operator-valued measurements (or POVMs)…

We describe the closed, densely defined linear transformations commuting with a given operator T of class C_0 in terms of bounded operators in {T}'. Our results extend those of Sarason for operators with defect index 1, and Martin in the…

Given a bounded operator $Q$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, a pair of bounded operators $(T_1, T_2)$ on $\mathcal{H}$ is said to be $Q$-commuting if one of the following holds: \[ T_1T_2=QT_2T_1 \text{ or }T_1T_2=T_2QT_1 \text{ or…

We give a new formulation of the $T1$ theorem for compactness of Calder\'on-Zygmund singular integral operators. In particular, we prove that a Calder\'on-Zygmund operator $T$ is compact on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ if and only if $T1,T^*1\in…

Let $A$ be a $\nu$-vector of self-adjoint, pairwise commuting operators and $B$ a bounded operator of class $C^{n_0}(A)$. We prove a Taylor-like expansion of the commutator $[B,f(A)]$ for a large class of functions $f\colon\mathbm{R}^\nu…

A celebrated 1922 theorem of Kuratowski states that there are at most 14 distinct sets arising from applying the operations of complementation and closure, any number of times, in any order, to a subset of a topological space. In this paper…

We show that many invariant subspaces M for d-shifts (S_1,...,S_d) of finite rank have the property that the projection P onto M almost commutes with the S_k in the sense that the commutators PS_k - S_kP belong to the Schatten-von Neumann…

In this paper, we establish the existence of a bounded, linear extension operator $T: L^{2,p}(E) \to L^{2,p}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ when $1<p<2$ and $E$ is a finite subset of $\mathbb{R}^2$ contained in a line.

We develop the compactness theory of multilinear singular integrals on product spaces using a modern point of view. The first main result is a compact $T1$ theorem for multilinear Calder\'{o}n--Zygmund operators on product spaces. More…

We consider a separable compact line $K$ and its extension $L$ consisting of $K$ and a countable number of isolated points. The main object of study is the existence of a bounded extension operator $E: C(K)\to C(L)$. We show that if such an…

In this note we announce Lp multiplier theorems for invariant and non-invariant operators on compact Lie groups in the spirit of the well-known Hormander-Mikhlin theorem on Rn and its variants on tori Tn. Applications are given to the…

We characterize the compactness of commutators in the Bloom setting. Namely, for a suitably non-degenerate Calder\'on--Zygmund operator $T$, and a pair of weights $ \sigma , \omega \in A_p$, the commutator $ [T, b]$ is compact from $ L ^{p}…
