Let $D,X \in B(H)$ be bounded operators on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space $H$. If the commutator $[D,X] = DX-XD$ lies within $\varepsilon$ in operator norm of the identity operator $1_{B(H)}$, then it was observed by Popa that one…

Our main result is a theorem saying that a bounded operator $A$ on a Hilbert space belongs to a certain set associated with its self-commutator $[A^*,A]$, provided that $A-zI$ can be approximated by invertible operators for all complex…

Suppose that H is a complex Hilbert space and that B(H) denotes the bounded linear operators on H. We show that every abelian, amenable operator algebra is similar to a C*-algebra. We do this by showing that if A is an abelian subalgebra of…

Let $A$ be a unital operator algebra. Let us assume that every {\it bounded\/} unital homomorphism $u\colon \ A\to B(H)$ is similar to a {\it contractive\/} one. Let $\text{\rm Sim}(u) = \inf\{\|S\|\, \|S^{-1}\|\}$ where the infimum runs…

The generalized state space of a commutative C*-algebra, denoted S_H(C(X)), is the set of positive unital maps from C(X) to the algebra B(H) of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H. C*-convexity is one of several non-commutative…

It is well known that in the commutative case, i.e. for $A=C(X)$ being a commutative C*-algebra, compact selfadjoint operators acting on the Hilbert C*-module $H_A$ (= continuous families of such operators $K(x)$, $x\in X$) can be…

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…

Let H be a separable Hilbert space with a fixed orthonormal basis (e_n), n>=1, and B(H) be the full von Neumann algebra of the bounded linear operators T: H -> H. Identifying l^\infty = C(\beta N) with the diagonal operators, we consider…

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space and $B(H)$ the C*-algebra of bounded operators on $H.$ Suppose that $T_1,T_2,..., T_n$ are self-adjoint operators in $B(H).$ We show that, if commutators $[T_i, T_j]$ are…

Wigner's Theorem states that bijections of the set P_1(H) of one-dimensional projections on a Hilbert space H that preserve transition probabilities are induced by either a unitary or an anti-unitary operator on H (which is uniquely…

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, $B(H)$ the $C^*$-algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H,$ $U(B(H))$ the unitary group of $B(H)$ and ${\cal K}\subset B(H)$ the ideal of compact operators. Let $G$ be a…

On a separable C*-algebra A every (completely) bounded map, which preserves closed two sided ideals, can be approximated uniformly by elementary operators if and only if A is a finite direct sum of C*-algebras of continuous sections…

We consider the Toeplitz operators on the weighted Bergman spaces over the unit ball $\mathbb{B}^n$ and their analytic continuation. We proved the commutativity of the $C^*-$algebras generated by the analytic continuation of Toeplitz…

Multiplicative Unitaries are described in terms of a pair of commuting shifts of relative depth two. They can be generated from ambidextrous Hilbert spaces in a tensor C*-category. The algebraic analogue of the Takesaki-Tatsuuma Duality…

We obtain an analogue of Coburn's description of the Toeplitz algebra in the setting of truncated Toeplitz operators. As a byproduct, we provide several examples of complex symmetric operators which are not unitarily equivalent to truncated…

We give several applications of a recent theorem of the second author, which solved a conjecture of the first author with Hay and Neal, concerning contractive approximate identities; and another of Hay from the theory of noncommutative peak…

For a closed densely defined operator $T$ from a Hilbert space $\mathfrak{H}$ to a Hilbert space $\mathfrak{K}$, necessary and sufficient conditions are established for the factorization of $T$ with a bounded nonnegative operator $X$ on…

For every integer $d\ge 1$, there is a unital closed subalgebra $A_d\subset B(H)$ with similarity degree equal precisely to $d$, in the sense of our previous paper. This means that for any unital homomorphism $u\colon A_d\to B(H)$ we have…

We study (von Neumann) regular $^*$-subalgebras of $B(H)$, which we call R$^*$-algebras. The class of R$^*$-algebras coincides with that of "E$^*$-algebras that are pre-C$^*$-algebras" in the sense of Z. Sz\H{u}cs and B. Tak\'acs. We give…

In this paper we show that every conjugation $C$ on the Hardy-Hilbert space $H^{2}$ is of type $C=T^{*}C_{1}T$, where $T$ is an unitary operator and $C_{1}f\left(z\right)=\overline{f\left(\overline{z}\right)}$, with $f\in H^{2}$. In the…
