A particular case of results from [K2] is as follows. Let the unitary asymptote of a contraction $T$ contain the bilateral shift (of finite or infinite multiplicity). Then there exists an invariant subspace $\mathcal M$ of $T$ such that…

Let $H_1,H_2$ be complex Hilbert spaces and $T$ be a densely defined closed linear operator (not necessarily bounded). It is proved that for each $\epsilon>0$, there exists a bounded operator $S$ with $\|S\|\leq \epsilon$ such that $T+S$ is…

In this article, by considering $T=(T_1,\dots, T_d)$, an $d$-tuple of commuting contractions on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we study $T$-Toeplitz operators which consists of bounded operators $X$ on $\mathcal{H}$ such that \[ T_i^*XT_i=X…

A determinant in algebraic $K$-theory is associated to any two almost commuting Fredholm operators. On the other hand, one can calculate a homologically defined invariant known as joint torsion. We answer in the affirmative a conjecture of…

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 $\mathcal{H}$…

We offer a new perspective and some advances on the 1971 Pearcy--Topping problem: Is every compact operator a commutator of compact operators? Our goal is to analyze and generalize the 1970's work in this area of Joel Anderson combined with…

Our main technical tool is a principally new property of compact narrow operators which works for a domain space without an absolutely continuous norm. It is proved that for every K\"{o}the $F$-space $X$ and for every locally convex…

Let $S$ be a subspace of $L^2 (\bm{R})$. We show that the operator $M$ of multiplication by the independent variable has a simple symmetric regular restriction to $S$ with deficiency indices $(1,1)$ if and only if $S = u h K^{2}_\theta$ is…

Using the spectral subspaces obtained in [HS], Brown's results on the Brown measure of an operator in a type II_1 factor (M,tr) are generalized to finite sets of commuting operators in M. It is shown that whenever T_1,..., T_n in M are…

A non-Hermitian Hamiltonian has a real positive spectrum and exhibits unitary time evolution if the Hamiltonian possesses an unbroken PT (space-time reflection) symmetry. The proof of unitarity requires the construction of a linear operator…

Let $D\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a bounded Lipschitz domain, $\omega$ be a high order modulus of continuity and let $T$ be a convolution Calder\'{o}n-Zygmund operator. We characterize the bounded restricted operators $T_D$ on the Zygmund…

The Guillemin-Sternberg conjecture states that "quantisation commutes with reduction" in a specific technical setting. So far, this conjecture has almost exclusively been stated and proved for compact Lie groups $G$ acting on compact…

A tuple (Z_1,...,Z_p) of matrices of size r is said to be a commuting extension of a tuple (A_1,...,A_p) of matrices of size n <r if the Z_i pairwise commute and each A_i sits in the upper left corner of a block decomposition of Z_i. This…

Each bounded operator T on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space H is a sum of three operators that are similar to positive operators; two such operators are sufficient if T is not a compact perturbation of a scalar. The spectra of L\"uders…

We present a general counting result for the unstable eigenvalues of linear operators of the form $JL$ in which $J$ and $L$ are skew- and self-adjoint operators, respectively. Assuming that there exists a self-adjoint operator $K$ such that…

The theorem on the existence of three commuting contractions on a Hilbert space and of a linear homogeneous matrix function of three independent variables for which the generalized von Neumann inequality fails is proved.

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…

In this paper we consider differential opeartor L=d^4_x + u(x). We find the commutativity condition for operator L with a differential operator M of order 4g+2, where L and M are operators of rank 2. Some examples are constructed. These…

We prove the compactness of weighted Sobolev trace operators in outward cuspidal domains by using composition operators on Sobolev spaces. This result allows us to formulate the non-linear Steklov problem in outward cuspidal domains in a…
