Kirchberg asked in 2004 whether the commutant of L(H)$ in its (norm) ultrapower is trivial. Assuming the Continnuum Hypothesis, we prove that the answer depends on the choice of the ultrafilter.

In this paper, we study the operator equation $AB=\lambda BA$ for a bounded operator $A,B$ on a complex Hilbert space. We focus on algebraic relations between different operators that include normal, $M$-hyponormal, quasi $*$-paranormal and…

We explore commutativity up to a factor, $AB=\lambda BA$, for bounded operators in a complex Hilbert space. Conditions on the possible values of the factor $\lambda$ are formulated and shown to depend on spectral properties of the operators…

We call an operator algebra A {\em reversible} if A with reversed multiplication is also an abstract operator algebra (in the modern operator space sense). This class of operator algebras is intimately related to the {\em symmetric operator…

We find a class of algebras A satisfying the following property: for every nontrivial noncommutative polynomial, the linear span of all its values in A equals A. This class includes the algebras of all bounded and all compact operators on…

In the setting of operators on Hilbert spaces, we prove that every quasinilpotent operator has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace if and only if every pair of idempotents with a quasinilpotent commutator has a non-trivial common closed…

We answer a question of E. Kirchberg (personal communication): does the relative commutant of a separable C*-algebra in its ultrapower depend on the choice of the ultrafilter?

In this paper we define $\lambda$-hyponormal operators on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ and find a class of $\lambda$-hyponormal operators that can not be hypercyclic. Also, we study closedness of range and…

Let B(H) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H. The main goal of the paper is to find large classes of noncommutative domains in B(H) with prescribed universal operator models, acting on the full Fock space…

In this paper we study noncommutative domains D_f in B(H)^n, generated by positive regular free holomorphic functions f, where B(H) is the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H.

Let $D$ and $U$ be linear operators in a vector space (or more generally, elements of an associative algebra with a unit). We establish binomial-type identities for $D$ and $U$ assuming that either their commutator $[D,U]$ or the second…

If $U$ is a unitary operator on a separable complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, an application of the spectral theorem says there is a conjugation $C$ on $\mathcal{H}$ (an antilinear, involutive, isometry on $\mathcal{H}$) for which $ C U…

In this paper we show that every bounded linear operator T on a Hilbert space H has a closed non-trivial invariant subspace.

We study the typical behavior of bounded linear operators on infinite dimensional complex separable Hilbert spaces in the norm, strong-star, strong, weak polynomial and weak topologies. In particular, we investigate typical spectral…

Let $H$ be a reflexive, dense, separable, infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space and let $B(H)$ be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H$. In this paper, we carry out characterizations of norm-attainable operators in normed…

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. We show that there exists a subspace of $B(H)$ which is isometric to $\ell_2$ and completely isometric to its antidual in the sense of the theory of operator spaces recently developed by…

We prove a strong dichotomy for the number of ultrapowers of a given countable model associated with nonprincipal ultrafilters on N. They are either all isomorphic, or else there are $2^{2^{\aleph_0}}$ many nonisomorphic ultrapowers. We…

In this paper we study subspaces which are invariant under squares and cubes (separately as well as jointly) of unicellular backward weighted shift operators on a separable Hilbert space. The finite-dimensional subspaces are characterized…

A linear operator $U$ acting boundedly on an infinite-dimensional separable complex Hilbert space $H$ is universal if every linear bounded operator acting on $H$ is similar to a scalar multiple of a restriction of $U$ to one of its…

In this paper, we further investigate the problem of commutativity up to a factor (or $\lambda$-commutativity) in the setting of bounded and unbounded linear operators in a complex Hilbert space. The results are based on a new approach to…
