In this note, we provide a family of $2\times 2$ tetrablock contractions that have tetrablock isometric dilation, but the corresponding fundamental operators do not commute. This answers a question raised by Bhattacharyya [Indiana Univ.…

This paper studies frames in Hilbert spaces generated by the orbits of (in)-finitely many vectors under a single operator, presenting new results on multiplication operators and operators composed of Jordan blocks, which generalizes…

Martingales, Markov processes and Laws of Large Numbers have been well studied in the Riesz space (vector lattice) setting. There has, however, been no attention given in the Riesz space setting to Laws of Small Numbers or to the so called…

For a conditional expectation operator $T$ on a Dedekind complete Riesz space, we give representations of the $T$-strong duals of $L^1(T)$ and $L^\infty(T)$. The representation for the $T$-strong dual of $L^1(T)$ follows from the known…

We study free products, that is, coproducts, in the category of Banach lattices and contractive lattice homomorphisms. We give a concrete construction of the free product of an arbitrary family of Banach lattices as a quotient of a free…

This article investigates $k$-regular factorizations of characteristic functions associated with completely non-coisometric row contractions. In this setting, a one-to-one correspondence is established between chains of joint invariant…

We study nonlinear concentration problems for time-frequency distributions in the Cohen class. Using recent techniques from quantum harmonic analysis (QHA) we provide both positive and negative results, such as sufficient conditions for the…

The Delsarte extremal problem for positive definite functions, originally introduced by Delsarte in coding theory to bound the size of error-correcting codes, has since found applications in diverse areas such as sphere packing, Fuglede's…

We prove a sampling theorem for infinite-dimensional Paley-Wiener spaces on graphs which allows for stable frame reconstruction. We prove that all sampling sets for a fixed Paley-Wiener space are complements of lambda-sets (i.e. sets where…

Let $\mathfrak{p}_d(q)$ denote the critical exponent of the Riesz projection from $L^q(\mathbb{T}^d)$ to the Hardy space $H^p(\mathbb{T}^d)$, where $\mathbb{T}$ is the unit circle. We present the state-of-the-art on the conjecture that…

In this paper we solve the polarization problem for real Hilbert spaces, a long-standing conjecture that had remained open for nearly three decades. We also confirm that the only extremal configurations are orthonormal sets. These are…

We show that there does not exist a complex $d\times n$ equiangular tight frame with \[ d^2-d+1<n<d^2. \] The proof, which originated from an internal model at OpenAI, mimics the relationship between real equiangular tight frames and…

Given a positive integer $p$, we consider $W^{1,p}$-maps from a Euclidean domain of dimension $p+1$ into a closed Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{N}$. The target manifold is required to satisfy suitable topological conditions; in particular,…

In 1979, Johnson and Wolfe proved that norm-attaining operators are dense in $L(C(K),C(S))$ when $K$ and $S$ are compact Hausdorff spaces in the real setting. The corresponding complex case has remained open since then, mainly because the…

We introduce two ordinal indices that are linear invariants for Banach spaces: the dyadic tree index and the sprawling tree index. We show that they are also bi-Lipschitz invariants. In fact, we characterize their values in terms of…

We study Fourier multipliers with logarithmic oscillation at high frequency. The guiding example is the radial symbol \[ m_{\gamma,\beta}(\xi) = \bigl(\log(e+|\xi|)\bigr)^{-\beta} e^{i(\log(e+|\xi|))^\gamma}, \qquad \gamma>1, \] whose…

In this paper, we establish a bijection between Kubo-Ando operator means defined on the cones $\mathscr{P}_{n}(\mathbb{H})$, $\mathscr{P}_{2n}(\mathbb{C})$, and $\mathscr{P}_{4n}(\mathbb{R})$. This correspondence is induced by the canonical…

We study truncated bilinear forms associated with synchronized kernels \[ K(x,y)=k(\phi(x),\psi(y)), \] where the singularity is governed by a one-dimensional kernel $k$, while the geometry is encoded by the phases $\phi$ and $\psi$. The…

If $A\in\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ and $B\in\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{K})$ are given operators, denote by $M_C$ an operator matrix of the form $$M_C=\begin{pmatrix} A & C\\ 0 & B \end{pmatrix}\in\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H}\oplus\mathcal{K})$$ acting…

We study monotone extension problems in the general framework of dual systems, without assuming separation. The paper develops a compact target-set formulation that includes multivalued operators as a special case and allows the initial set…
