In this paper, we study closed convex hulls of unitary orbits in various C$^*$-algebras. For unital C$^*$-algebras with real rank zero and a faithful tracial state determining equivalence of projections, a notion of majorization describes…
Let $A$ be a unital separable simple $C^*$-algebra with tracial rank zero and let $x, \, y\in A$ be two normal elements. We show that $x$ is in the closure of the convex full of the unitary obit of $y$ if and only if there exists a sequence…
We investigate the closed convex hull of unitary orbits of selfadjoint elements in arbitrary unital C*-algebras. Using a notion of majorization against unbounded traces, a characterization of these closed convex hulls is obtained.…
We will investigate the norm closure of the unitary and similarity orbits of normal operators in unital, simple, purely infinite C*-algebras. An operator theoretic proof will be given to the classification of when two normal operators are…
We prove that in a simple, unital, exact, Z-stable C*-algebra of stable rank one, the distance between the unitary orbits of self-adjoint elements with connected spectrum is completely determined by spectral data. This fails without the…
Various notions of joint majorization are examined in continuous matrix algebras. The relative strengths of these notions are established via proofs and examples. In addition, the closed convex hulls of joint unitary orbits are completely…
We study properties of convex hulls of (co)adjoint orbits of compact groups, with applications to invariant theory and tensor product decompositions. The notion of partial convex hulls is introduced and applied to define two numerical…
In this paper, we construct, for a certain class of semigroup dynamical systems, two operator algebras that are universal with respect to their corresponding covariance conditions: one being self-adjoint, and another being non-self-adjoint.…
Let $H$ be a separable Hilbert space with a fixed orthonormal basis. Let $\mathbb B^{(k)}(H)$ denote the set of operators, whose matrices have no more than $k$ non-zero entries in each line and in each column. The closure of the union (over…
In this paper we compute the closure of the numerical range of certain periodic tridiagonal operators. This is achieved by showing that the closure of the numerical range of such operators can be expressed as the closure of the convex hull…
We establish new metric characterizations for the norm (respectively, ultraweak) closure of the convex hull of a bounded set in an arbitrary $C^*$-algebra (respectively, von Neumann algebra), and provide applications of these results to the…
We study the class of pseudocompact C*-algebras, which are the logical limits of finite-dimensional C*-algebras. The pseudocompact C*-algebras are unital, stably finite, real rank zero, stable rank one, and tracial. We show that the…
This article continues the investigation of the tracial geometry of classifiable $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras that have real rank zero and stable rank one. Using the language of optimal transport, we describe several situations in which the…
Several results concerning pairs of polynomially convex sets whose union is not even rationally convex are given. It is shown that there is no restriction on how two spaces can be embedded in some $\C^N$ so as to be polynomially convex but…
We consider problems associated with the computation of spectra of self-adjoint operators in terms of the eigenvalue distributions of their n x n sections. Under rather general circumstances, we show how these eigenvalues accumulate near…
Deciding whether the union of two convex polyhedra is itself a convex polyhedron is a basic problem in polyhedral computations; having important applications in the field of constrained control and in the synthesis, analysis, verification…
We extend the results of our previous paper "C*-algebras and numerical linear algebra" to cover the case of "unilateral" sections. This situation bears a close resemblance to the case of Toeplitz operators on Hardy spaces, in spite of the…
In this paper we introduce and study a class of structured set-valued operators which we call union averaged nonexpansive. At each point in their domain, the value of such an operator can be expressed as a finite union of single-valued…
The topology of the embedding of the coadjoint orbits of the unitary group U(H) of an in-finite dimensional complex Hilbert space H, as canonically determined subsets of the B-space T_s of symmetric trace class operators, is investigated.…
This short but self-contained survey presents a number of elegant matrix/operator inequalities for general convex or concave functions, obtained with a unitary orbit technique. Jensen, sub or super-additivity type inequalities are…
