Perturbations ofH-selfadjoint matrices,with applications to differential equations

In this paper we study perturbations of operators which are either selfadjoint or unitary with respect to an indefinite scalar product on a finite dimensional space (i.e.H-selfadjoint orH-unitary operators). The results allow us to describe systems of differential equations of higher order with selfadjoint coefficients which, together with all neighboring systems of the same kind, have only bounded solutions. An open problem concerning the structure of the connected components of such systems is posed.     

Resolvent formulas of general type and its application to point interactions

Kiselev and Simon ([13]) considered rank one singular perturbations of general type and formulate such perturbation in terms of a resolvent formula. In an attempt to generalize it beyond the rank one case, it is found that this expression in its generality describes resolvents of a rather wide class of closed operators (or all selfadjoint operators). Bounded operators from the domain of unperturbed operator with the graph norm to its dual space will serve as a parameter. As an application point interactions in one-dimension will be discussed systematically, recapturing selfadjoint boundary conditions associated to the problem.

Selfadjoint operators in S-spaces

We study S-spaces and operators therein. An S-space is a Hilbert space with an additional inner product given by , where U is a unitary operator in . We investigate spectral properties of selfadjoint operators in S-spaces. We show that their spectrum is symmetric with respect to the real axis. As a main result we prove that for each selfadjoint operator A in an S-space we find an inner product which turns S into a Krein space and A into a selfadjoint operator therein. As a consequence we get a new simple condition for the existence of invariant subspaces of selfadjoint operators in Krein spaces, which provides a different insight into this well-know and in general unsolved problem.     

Operator extensions with closed range

We characterize those positive (not necessarily densely defined) operators whose Krein–von Neumann extension, the smallest among all positive selfadjoint extensions, has closed range. In addition, we construct their Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse by employing factorization via an auxiliary Hilbert space. Other extremal extensions, in particular the Friedrichs extension, are also investigated from this point of view. As an application, new characterizations of essentially selfadjoint positive operators are presented.     

On stabilization of solutions to incomplete second-order integrodifferential equations

We consider abstract incomplete linear second-order integrodifferential equations in a Hilbert space. Operator coefficients of the equations are unbounded selfadjoint nonnegative operators. These equations arise naturally in viscoelasticity and hydroelasticity. We prove a theorem on asymptotic stability of strong solutions of the equations.     

THE STRUCTURE OF $\[\Pi \]$ SPACES (I)

The spectral theory of selfadjoint operators and unitary operators in Hilbert space has been successfully generalized to $\[{\Pi _k}\]$ space. However, there are only a few results for the spectral theory of selfadjoint operators and unitary operators in $\[\Pi \]$ space. One of the important reasons is that the structure of $\[\Pi \]$ space is more complex than that of $\[{\Pi _k}\]$ space. This paper and the forthcoming paper "The structure of $\[\Pi \]$ space (II)" will mainly be dealt with the structure of $\[\Pi \]$ spaces, which will be used to further study the operators in $\[\Pi \]$ spaces.     

Ordered Involutive Operator Spaces

This is a companion to recent papers of the authors; here we construct the ‘noncommutative Shilov boundary’ of a (possibly nonunital) selfadjoint ordered space of Hilbert space operators. The morphisms in the universal property of the boundary preserve order. As an application, we consider ‘maximal’ and ‘minimal’ unitizations of such ordered operator spaces.     

On the discrete spectrum of non-selfadjoint operators

We prove quantitative bounds on the eigenvalues of non-selfadjoint unbounded operators obtained from selfadjoint operators by a perturbation that is relatively-Schatten. These bounds are applied to obtain new results on the distribution of eigenvalues of Schrödinger operators with complex potentials.     

On a theorem of Kac and Gilbert

We prove a general operator theoretic result that asserts that many multiplicity two selfadjoint operators have simple singular spectrum.     

On finite rank perturbations of definitizable operators

It was shown by P. Jonas and H. Langer that a selfadjoint definitizable operator A in a Krein space remains definitizable after a finite rank perturbation in resolvent sense if the perturbed operator B is selfadjoint and the resolvent set ρ(B) is nonempty. It is the aim of this note to prove a more general variant of this perturbation result where the assumption on ρ(B) is dropped. As an application a class of singular ordinary differential operators with indefinite weight functions is studied.     

On a class of selfadjoint operators in Krein space and their compact perturbations

For a class of selfadjoint operators in a Krein space containing the definitizable selfadjoint operators a funetional calculus and the spectral function are studied. Stability properties of the spectral function with respect to small compact perturbations of the resolvent are proved.     

Unbounded Hermitian operators and relative reproducing kernel Hilbert space

We study unbounded Hermitian operators with dense domain in Hilbert space. As is known, the obstruction for a Hermitian operator to be selfadjoint or to have selfadjoint extensions is measured by a pair of deficiency indices, and associated deficiency spaces; but in practical problems, the direct computation of these indices can be difficult. Instead, in this paper we identify additional structures that throw light on the problem. We will attack the problem of computing deficiency spaces for a single Hermitian operator with dense domain in a Hilbert space which occurs in a duality relation with a second Hermitian operator, often in the same Hilbert space.     

Spectral analysis of singular ordinary differential operators with indefinite weights

In this paper we develop a perturbation approach to investigate spectral problems for singular ordinary differential operators with indefinite weight functions. We prove a general perturbation result on the local spectral properties of selfadjoint operators in Krein spaces which differ only by finitely many dimensions from the orthogonal sum of a fundamentally reducible operator and an operator with finitely many negative squares. This result is applied to singular indefinite Sturm-Liouville operators and higher order singular ordinary differential operators with indefinite weight functions.     

Pairs of quaternionic selfadjoint operators with numerical range in a halfplane

The property is studied that two selfadjoint operators on a quaternionic Hilbert space have the joint numerical range in a halfplane bounded by a line passing through the origin. This property is expressed in various ways, in particular, in terms of compressions to two dimensional subpaces, and in terms of linear dependence over the reals. The canonical form for two selfadjoint quaternionic operators in finite dimensional spaces is the main technical tool.     

Partial inner product spaces. II. Operators

We study linear operators between nondegenerate partial inner product spaces and their relationships to selfadjoint operators in a “middle” Hilbert space.     

An Invertibility Criterion in a C*-Algebra Acting on the Hardy Space with Applications to Composition Operators

In this paper, we prove an invertibility criterion for certain operators which is given as a linear algebraic combination of Toeplitz operators and Fourier multipliers acting on the Hardy space of the unit disc. Very similar to the case of Toeplitz operators, we prove that such operators are invertible if and only if they are Fredholm and their Fredholm index is zero. As an application, we prove that for “quasi-parabolic” composition operators the spectra and the essential spectra are equal.     

Inequalities for the Eigenvalues of Non-Selfadjoint Jacobi Operators

We prove Lieb-Thirring-type bounds on eigenvalues of non-selfadjoint Jacobi operators, which are nearly as strong as those proven previously for the case of selfadjoint operators by Hundertmark and Simon. We use a method based on determinants of operators and on complex function theory, extending and sharpening earlier work of Borichev, Golinskii and Kupin.
