Anderson's paving conjecture, now known to hold due to the resolution of the Kadison-Singer problem asserts that every zero diagonal Hermitian matrix admits non-trivial pavings with dimension independent bounds. In this paper, we develop a…
We prove some new equivalences of the paving conjecture and obtain some estimates on the paving constants. In addition we give a new family of counterexamples to one of the Akemann-Anderson conjectures.
We resolve a 25 year old problem by showing that The Paving Conjecture is equivalent to The Paving Conjecture for Triangular Matrices.
We adapt the arguments of Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava in their proof of the Kadison-Singer problem to prove improved paving estimates. Working with Anderson's paving formulation of Kadison-Singer instead of Weaver's vector balancing…
One of the equivalent formulations of the Kadison-Singer problem which was resolved in 2013 by Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava, is the "paving conjecture". Roughly speaking, the paving conjecture states that every positive semi-definite…
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…
Akemann and Anderson made a conjecture about ``paving'' projections in finite dimensional matrix algebras which, if true, would settle the well-known Kadison-Singer problem. We falsify their conjecture by an explicit seqence of…
We show that any $n\times m$ matrix $A$ can be approximated in operator norm by a submatrix with a number of columns of order the stable rank of $A$. This improves on existing results by removing an extra logarithmic factor in the size of…
This note presents a new proof of an important result due to Bourgain and Tzafriri that provides a partial solution to the Kadison--Singer problem. The result shows that every unit-norm matrix whose entries are relatively small in…
The Kadison-Singer problem asks: does every pure state on the diagonal sublgebra of the C*-algebra of bounded operators on a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space admit a unique extension? A yes answer is equivalent to several open…
We use the method of interlacing families of polynomials introduced to prove two theorems known to imply a positive solution to the Kadison--Singer problem. The first is Weaver's conjecture $KS_{2}$ \cite{weaver}, which is known to imply…
The Kadison-Singer Problem (K-S) has expanded since 1959 to a very large number of equivalent problems in various fields. In the present paper we will introduce the notion of weak paveability for positive elements of a von Neumann algebra…
Unlike Toeplitz operators on $H^2$, truncated Toeplitz operators do not have a natural matricial characterization. Consequently, these operators are difficult to study numerically. In this note we provide criteria for a matrix with distinct…
Applying the techniques resulting the existence of almost invariant half-spaces, similarity models $\wh T$ can be given for upper triangular operator-matrices $T= \left[\begin{matrix}A&C\\ 0&B\end{matrix}\right]$. The model $\wh T$ is also…
It is known that the Kadison-Singer Problem (KS) and the Paving Conjecture (PC) are equivalent to the Bourgain-Tzafriri Conjecture (BT). Also, it is known that (PC) fails for $2$-paving projections with constant diagonal $1/2$. But the…
In this paper, we consider the Schr\"{o}dinger operators on $ \ell^{2}(\N) $, defined for all $ x\in\mathbb{T} $ by \begin{equation} (H(x)u)_n = u_{n+1} + u_{n-1} + \lambda f(2^{n} x) u_n, \quad \text{for } n \geq 0,\notag \end{equation}…
Let $\mathcal{H}$ be an infinite dimensional Hilbert space and $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ be the C*-algebra of all bounded linear operators on $\mathcal{H}$, equipped with the operator-norm. By improving the Brown-Pearcy construction,…
Compressions of Toeplitz operators to coinvariant subspaces of $H^2$ are called truncated Toeplitz operators. We study two questions related to these operators. The first, raised by Sarason, is whether boundedness of the operator implies…
We introduce a new ``Winding Number Conjecture'' about maps from the $(d-1)$-skeleton of the $((d+1)(q-1))$-simplex into $\real^d$. This conjecture is equivalent to the Topological Tverberg Theorem. Furthermore, many statements about the…
We consider a paving property for a maximal abelian *-subalgebra (MASA) $A$ in a von Neumann algebra $M$, that we call so-paving, involving approximation in the so-topology, rather than in norm (as in classical Kadison-Singer paving). If…
