Complement preserving operators

An operatorTVV on a real inner product space is called complement preserving if, wheneverU is aT-invariant subspace ofV the orthogonal complementU is alsoT-invariant. In this note we obtain some results on such operators.     

Normality preserving multiplication operators

We show that a multiplication operator (T)=ATB is normality preserving if and only if it is hyponormality preserving, if and only if it is either of the formA=fg,B=h f, orA=D,B=D* for someC andD* D=I. Also we show that is (semi-) Fredholmness prserving if and only ifA andB are (semi-) Fredholm operators.Supported by the Science Foundation of Zhejiang Province and NSF.     

Outer preserving linear operators

A natural question about linear operators on the Hilbert-Hardy space is answered, motivated by work in geophysical imaging. Namely, which bounded linear operators on the Hardy space preserve the set of all shifted outer functions? A complete characterization is determined, which allows an explicit construction of all such operators. Every operator that preserves the set of shifted outer functions is necessarily a product-composition operator, consisting of composition with a shifted outer function followed by multiplication with a (possibly different) shifted outer function. Such operators represent important physical processes, including the propagation of seismic wave energy through the earth. Applications to seismic imaging are briefly discussed.     

Unitary operators preserving wavelets

We characterize a special class of unitary operators that preserve orthonormal wavelets. In the process we also prove that symmetric wavelet sets cover the real line.

On Markov operators preserving polynomials

The paper is concerned with a special class of positive linear operators acting on the space C(K)$C(K)$ of all continuous functions defined on a convex compact subset K   of R^d${\mathbf{R}}^d$, d?1$d?1$, having non-empty interior. Actually, this class consists of all positive linear operators T   on C(K)$C(K)$ which leave invariant the polynomials of degree at most 1 and which, in addition, map polynomials into polynomials of the same degree. Among other things, we discuss the existence of such operators in the special case where K is strictly convex by also characterizing them within the class of positive projections. In particular we show that such operators exist if and only if ∂K   is an ellipsoid. Furthermore, a characterization of balls of R^d${\mathbf{R}}^d$ in terms of a special class of them is furnished. Additional results and illustrative examples are presented as well.

Maps completely preserving idempotents and maps completely preserving square-zero operators

Let X, Y be real or complex Banach spaces with dimension greater than 2 and let A, B be standard operator algebras on X and Y, respectively. In this paper, we show that every map completely preserving idempotence from A onto B is either an isomorphism or (in the complex case) a conjugate isomorphism; every map completely preserving square-zero from A onto B is a scalar multiple of either an isomorphism or (in the complex case) a conjugate isomorphism.     

Some remarks on disjointness preserving operators

In this note we present a simple proof of the following results: if T: E E is a lattice homomorphism on a Banach lattice E, then: i) (T)={1} implies T=I; and ii) r(T–I)<1 implies TZ(E), the center of E.     

Maximal ideals of disjointness preserving operators

Let L and M be vector lattices with M Dedekind complete, and let Lr(L,M) be the vector lattice of all regular operators from L into M. We introduce the notion of maximal order ideals of disjointness preserving operators in Lr(L,M) (briefly, maximal δ-ideals of Lr(L,M)) as a generalization of the classical concept of orthomorphisms and we investigate some aspects of this ‘new’ structure. In this regard, various standard facts on orthomorphisms are extended to maximal δ-ideals. For instance, surprisingly enough, we prove that any maximal δ-ideal of Lr(L,M) is a vector lattice copy of M, when L, in addition, has an order unit. Moreover, we pay a special attention to maximal δ-ideals on continuous function spaces. As an application, we furnish a characterization of lattice bimorphisms on such spaces in terms of weigthed composition operators.     

Integral operators preserving certain analytic functions

The purpose of the present paper is to investigate some integral preserving properties for certain analytic functions in the open unit disk. We also obtain the conditions for close-to-convex functions in a sector. Our results contain some interesting corollaries as the special cases.     

Order preserving nonexpansive operators inL 1

We study the limit behaviour ofT ^k f and of Cesaro averagesA _n f of this sequence, whenT is order preserving and nonexpansive inL ₁ ⁺ . IfT contracts also theL _∞-norm, the sequenceT ⁿ f converges in distribution, andA _n f converges weakly inL _p (1<p<∞), and also inL ₁ if the measure is finite. “Speed limit” operators are introduced to show that strong convergence ofA _n f need not hold. The concept of convergence in distribution is extended to infinite measure spaces. Much of this work was done during a visit of the first author at Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Beer Sheva, supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.     

On order bounded disjointness preserving operators

The paper is aimed at demonstrating that some properties of order bounded operators in vector lattices are just Boolean valued interpretations of elementary properties of order bounded functionals. We present the general machinery and illustrate it with a few new results on order bounded disjointness preserving and n-disjoint operators.     

Maps preserving a certain product of operators

Let $$\mathcal {A}$$ be a standard operator algebra on a Banach space $$\mathcal {X}$$ with $$ \dim \mathcal {X}\ge 3$$. In this paper, we determine the form of the bijective maps $$\phi :\mathcal {A}\longrightarrow \mathcal {A}$$ satisfying $$\begin{aligned} \phi \left( \frac{1}{2}(AB^2+B^2A)\right) = \frac{1}{2}[\phi (A)\phi (B)^{2}+\phi (B)^{2}\phi (A)], \end{aligned}$$for every $$A,B \in \mathcal {A}$$.     

Linear operators preserving the decomposable numerical range

Multilinear techniques are used to characterize unitary matrices in terms of a generalized numerical range. This characterization is then applied to analyze the structure of all linear operators on matrices which preserve this numerical range. The results generalize V. J. Pellegrini's determination of all linear operators preserving the classical numerical range.     

Unbounded disjointness preserving linear functionals and operators

Let E and F be Banach lattices. We show first that the disjointness preserving linear functionals separate the points of any infinite dimensional Banach lattice E, which shows that in this case the unbounded disjointness preserving operators from \({E\to F}\) separate the points of E. Then we show that every disjointness preserving operator \({T:E\to F}\) is norm bounded on an order dense ideal. In case E has order continuous norm, this implies that every unbounded disjointness preserving map \({T:E\to F}\) has a unique decomposition T = R + S, where R is a bounded disjointness preserving operator and S is an unbounded disjointness preserving operator, which is zero on a norm dense ideal. For the case that E = C(X), with X a compact Hausdorff space, we show that every disjointness preserving operator \({T:C(X)\to F}\) is norm bounded on a norm dense sublattice algebra of C(X), which leads then to a decomposition of T into a bounded disjointness preserving operator and a finite sum of unbounded disjointness preserving operators, which are zero on order dense ideals.     

Linear operators preserving the decomposable numerical radius

The characterization of all linear operators on matrices which preserve the decomposable numerical radius is obtained. This result refines those of Tam. Marcus and Filippenko on the topic. The proof of the main theorem depends on a characterization of scalar multiples of unitary matrices in terms of decomposable numerical radius that is of independent interest.
