SOME FUNCTIONAL ANALYTIC PROPERTIES OF COMPOSITION OPERATORS

Abstract

This is a report on a number of recent results on composition operators which map, for 0 < p ? q ∞, the Hardy space H^p (on the unit disk in the complex plane) into H ^q. Attention is focused on questions of boundedness (existence), compactness, order boundedness and, in connection with the latter, on relating the absolutely summing and nuclearity character as well as special factorization properties of the operator to function theoretic properties of the defining symbol. Moreover, tools are provided to show that certain classes of operators can well be distinguished already on the level of composition operators.

POSITIVITY METHODS FOR DICHOTOMY OF LINEAR SKEW-PRODUCT FLOWS ON HILBERT SPACES

Abstract

In [Na-Rh] we developed a method based on positivity in order to characterize the stability of the evolution family corresponding to the nonautonomous Cauchy problem in Hilbert spaces. This method is extended to the study of hyperbolicity of linear skew-products. We also show that exponential dichotomy of a linear skew-product flow is equivalent to the existence of a Hermitian valued solution of some linear Riccati equation.     

HILBERT SPACES OF FUNCTIONALS ASSOCIATED WITH NONLINEAR OPERATORS

Abstract

In [7] the subject of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs) of linear functionals associated with linear operators and, in particular, with second-order generalized stochastic processes (GSPs), is pursued. In this work these ideas are extended to nonlinear operators. As an example the characteristic operator of a GSP is pursued. The so-called nonlinear space of the process associated with the characteristic operator is investigated and the RKHS of functionals isometrically isomorphic to it is constructed. Unlike the linear space, the nonlinear analysis is not limited to second order GSPs.     

FACTORIZATION OF UNBOUNDED THIN AND COTHIN OPERATORS

Abstract

Let X and Y be normed spaces and T: D(T) ? X → Y a linear operator. Following R.D. Neidingcr [N1] we recall the Davis, Figiel, Johnson, Pelczynski factorization of T corresponding to a parameter p (1 ≤ p ≤ ∞) and apply the corresponding factorization result in [N1] to unbounded thin operators. Properties equivalent to ubiquitous thinness arc derived. Defining an operator T to be cothin if its adjoint is thin, a dual factorization result for cothin operators is obtained, where for each 1 < p < ∞, the intermediate space in the factorization is cohereditarily l_p. This result is shown to hold more generally for the cases when T is either partially continuous or closable; in particular, such operators are strictly cosingular. A condition for a closable weakly compact operator to be strictly cosingular follows as a corollary.     

THE o-SPECTRUM OF r-ASYMPTOTICALLY QUASI-FINITE-RANK OPERATORS

Abstract

We introduce the class of r-asymptotically quasi finite rank operators (which properly contains the class of r-compact operators) and show that for these operators the spectrum and o-spectrum coincide.     

INVERSION OF TOEPLITZ OPERATORS WITH RATIONAL SYMBOLS VIA FACTORIZATION AND REALIZATION

Abstract

Semi-infinite block Toeplitz operators with rational matrix symbols are inverted explicitly by employing the factorization method. All formulas are based on a special representation of the symbol involving a quintet of matrices, which differs from the ones that have been used earlier.     

IDENTIFICATION OF EXTRAPOLATION SPACES FOR UNBOUNDED OPERATORS

Abstract

Abstract extrapolation spaces for strongly continuous semigroups of linear operators on Banach spaces have been constructed by various methods (see, e.g., [Am (1988)], [DaP-Gr (1984)], [Na (1983)], [Ne (1992)], [Wa (1986)]). Usually they appear as “artefacts” used in some intermediate step in order to solve the Cauchy problem on the original space. Only in a few cases (see the papers by the Dutch school on X ^⊙*, e.g., [Ne (1992)]), and in sharp contrast to the situation for interpolation spaces (see, e.g., [Gr (1969)], [DiB (1991)], [Lu (1985)], [Ac-Te (1987)]), the extrapolation spaces have been identified in a concrete way. It is our intention to fill this gap and subsequently to give an application of the extrapolation method to a perturbation problem.     

r-ASYMPTOTICALLY QUASI-FINITE RANK OPERATORS AND THE SPECTRUM OF MEASURES

Abstract

The r-asymptotically quasi finite rank operators were introduced in [10]. For regular operators on Banach lattices, these operators are the order theoretic analogue of Riesz operators on Banach spaces. We establish their basic properties and apply these in the spectral analysis of convolution operators.

CHARACTERISATIONS OF OPERATORS OF LOWER SEMI-FREDHOLM TYPE IN NORMED LINEAR SPACES

Abstract

Let X and Y be normed linear spaces. A linear operator T: D(T) ? X → Y is called an F-operator if its adjoint T′: D(T) ? Y′ → D(T)' is a φ+ -operator, i.e. has closed range and finite dimensional-kernel. Characterisations of an F_-operator T are obtained in the general case and in the case when T is closable. Unbounded strictly cosingular operators are defined and shown to belong to the class of F_ -admissible pertubations whenever Y is complete.     

An asymmetric Kadison’s inequality

Some inequalities for positive linear maps on matrix algebras are given, especially asymmetric extensions of Kadison’s inequality and several operator versions of Chebyshev’s inequality. We also discuss well-known results around the matrix geometric mean and connect it with complex interpolation.     

Functional models and finite dimensional perturbations of the shift

We study finite dimensional perturbations of shift operators and their membership to the classes A _{m, n} appearing in the theory of dual algebras. The results obtained yield informations about the lattice of invariant subspaces via the techniques of Scott Brown.

ON THE SPECTRAL RADIUS OF IRREDUCIBLE AND WEAKLY IRREDUCIBLE OPERATORS IN BANACH LATPICES

Abstract

If T is an operator on a Banach lattice E we call T weakly irreducible if E contains no non-trivial T-invariant bands. We prove that if E is order complete and if the weakly irreducible operator T > 0 is in (E′_oo ? E)^⊥⊥ then T has positive spectral radéus. Prom this follows that Jentesch's theorem holds in arbitrary Banach function spaces.

If [Ttilde] denotes the restriction of T′ to E′_oo, 0 ? T an order continuous operator, then T is weakly irreducible if and only if [Ttilde]: E′_oo→E′_oo is weakly irreducible.

Finally we show that the majorizing, irreducible operator T ≥ 0, has positive spectral radius if either Tⁿ is weakly compact or E has property (P) or T is strongly majorizing.

Invariant subspaces for polynomially bounded operators

Let T be a polynomially bounded operator on a Banach space X whose spectrum contains the unit circle. Then T∗ has a nontrivial invariant subspace. In particular, if X is reflexive, then T itself has a nontrivial invariant subspace. This generalizes the well-known result of Brown, Chevreau, and Pearcy for Hilbert space contractions.
