Algebra of Bergman Operators with Automorphic Coefficients and Parabolic Group of Shifts

We study the algebra of operators with the Bergman kernel extended by isometric weighted shift operators. The coefficients of the algebra are assumed to be automorphic with respect to a cyclic parabolic group of fractional-linear transformations of a unit disk and continuous on the Riemann surface of the group. By using an isometric transformation, we obtain a quasiautomorphic matrix operator on the Riemann surface with properties similar to the properties of the Bergman operator. This enables us to construct the algebra of symbols, devise an efficient criterion for the Fredholm property, and calculate the index of the operators of the algebra considered.     

Stability and bifurcations on a finite time interval in variational inequalities

Sufficient conditions for stability on a finite time interval are derived for a class of evolution variational inequalities with the use of Lyapunov functions and frequency-domain conditions. These inequalities are considered for Hilbert spaces and Sobolev spaces of infinite order in the sense of Yu.A. Dubinskii. We show how to use the stability result on a finite interval to characterize bifurcations. An algorithm for finding observation functionals is presented that uses an isomorphism between the algebra of pseudodifferential operators with constant coefficients whose symbols are real-analytic functions in some domain and an algebra of analytic matrix-valued functions.     

Stability Analysis in Continuous and Discrete Time, using the Cayley Transform

For semigroups and for bounded operators we introduce the new notion of Bergman distance. Systems with a finite Bergman distance share the same stability properties, and the Bergman distance is preserved under the Cayley transform. This way, we get stability results in continuous and discrete time. As an example, we show that bounded perturbations lead to pairs of semigroups with finite Bergman distance. This is extended to a class of Desch–Schappacher perturbations.     

Covering dimension and finite spaces

Finite topological spaces, that is spaces with a finite number of points, have a wide range of applications in many areas such as computer graphics and image analysis. In this paper we study the covering dimension of a finite topological space. In particular, we give an algorithm for computing the covering dimension of a finite topological space using matrix algebra.     

Operators on harmonic Bergman spaces

We study the commutator of the multiplication and harmonic Bergman projection, Hankel and Toeplitz operators on the harmonic Bergman spaces. The same type operators have been well studied on the analytic Bergman spaces. The main difficulty of this study is that the bounded harmonic function space is not an algebra! In this paper, we characterize theL ^p boundedness and compactness of these operators with harmonic symbols. Results about operators in Schatten classes, the cut-off phenomenon and general symbols are also included.Partially supported by a grant from the Research Grants Committee of the University of Alabama.     

Centralizers of Toeplitz Operators with Polynomial Symbols

In this note we describe centralizers of Toeplitz operators with polynomial symbols on the Bergman space. As a consequence it is shown that if an element of the norm closed algebra generated by all Toeplitz operators commutes with a Toeplitz operator of a nonconstant polynomial, then this element is a Toeplitz operator of a holomorphic function.     

The Birman-Schwinger principle in von Neumann algebras of finite type

We introduce a relative index for a pair of dissipative operators in a von Neumann algebra of finite type and prove an analog of the Birman-Schwinger principle in this setting. As an application of this result, revisiting the Birman-Krein formula in the abstract scattering theory, we represent the de la Harpe-Skandalis determinant of the characteristic function of dissipative operators in the algebra in terms of the relative index.     

On C*-Algebras of Toeplitz Operators on the Harmonic Bergman Space

Commutative algebras of Toeplitz operators acting on the Bergman space on the unit disk have been completely classified in terms of geometric properties of the symbol class. The question when two Toeplitz operators acting on the harmonic Bergman space commute is still open. In some papers, conditions on the symbols have been given in order to have commutativity of two Toeplitz operators. In this paper, we describe three different algebras of Toeplitz operators acting on the harmonic Bergman space: The C*-algebra generated by Toeplitz operators with radial symbols, in the elliptic case; the C*-algebra generated by Toeplitz operators with piecewise continuous symbols, in the parabolic and hyperbolic cases. We prove that the Calkin algebra of the first two algebras are commutative, like in the case of the Bergman space, while the last one is not.     

Reducing triangular systems of ODEs with rational coefficients,with applications to coupled Regge-Wheeler equations

We concisely summarize a method of finding all rational solutions to an inhomogeneous rational ODE system of arbitrary order (but solvable for its highest order terms) by converting it into a finite dimensional linear algebra problem. This method is then used to solve the problem of conclusively deciding when certain rational ODE systems in upper triangular form can or cannot be reduced to diagonal form by differential operators with rational coefficients. As specific examples, we consider systems of coupled Regge-Wheeler equations, which have naturally appeared in previous work on vector and tensor perturbations on the Schwarzschild black hole spacetime. Our systematic approach reproduces and complements identities that have been previously found by trial and error methods.     

On finite rank operators in CSL algebras II

For finite rank operators in a commutative subspace lattice algebra algℒ we introduce the concept of correlation matrices, basing on which we prove that a finite rank operator in algℒ can be written as a finite sum of rank-one operators in algℒ, if it has only finitely many different correlation matrices. Thus we can recapture the results of J.R. Ringrose, A. Hopenwasser and R.Moore as corollaries of our theorems. Research supported by NSF of China

Construction of a new class of quantum integrable inhomogeneous models

Integrable inhomogenous or impurity models are usually constructed by either shifting the spectral parameter in the Lax operator or using another representation of the spin algebra. We propose a more involved general method for such construction in which the Lax operator contains generators of a novel quadratic algebra, a generalization of the known quantum algebra. In forming the monodromy matrix, we can replace any number of the local Lax operators with different realizations of the underlying algebra, which can result in spin chains with nonspin impurities causing changed coupling across the impurity sites, as well as with impurities in the form of bosonic operators. Following the same idea, we can also generate integrable inhomogeneous versions of the generalized lattice sine-Gordon model, nonlinear Schrödinger equation, Liouville model, relativistic and nonrelativistic Toda chains, etc.     

Toeplitz algebra and Hankel algebra on the harmonic Bergman space

In this paper we completely characterize compact Toeplitz operators on the harmonic Bergman space. By using this result we establish the short exact sequences associated with the Toeplitz algebra and the Hankel algebra. We show that the Fredholm index of each Fredholm operator in the Toeplitz algebra or the Hankel algebra is zero.     

Finite Sums of Toeplitz Products on the Polydisk

On the Bergman space of the unit polydisk, we study a class of operators which contains sums of finitely many Toeplitz products with pluriharmonic symbols. We give characterizations of when an operator in that class has finite rank or is compact. As one of applications we show that sums of a certain number, depending on and increasing with the dimension, of semicommutators of Toeplitz operators with pluriharmonic symbols cannot be compact without being the zero operator.     

Invertibility of Bergman Toeplitz operators with harmonic polynomial symbols

Let p be an analytic polynomial on the unit disk. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for Toeplitz operators with the symbol z + p to be invertible on the Bergman space when all coefficients of p are real numbers. Furthermore, we establish several necessary and sufficient, easy-to-check conditions for Toeplitz operators with the symbol z + p to be invertible on the Bergman space when some coefficients of p are complex numbers.     

Separable polynomials over finite dimensional algebras

In [5] it was shown that for a polynomial P of precise degree n with coefficients in an arbitrary m-ary algebra of dimension d as a vector space over an algebraically closed fields, the zeros of P together with the homogeneous zeros of the dominant part of P form a set of cardinality n^d or the cardinality of the base field. We investigate polynomials with coefficients in a d dimensional algebra A without assuming the base field k to be algebraically closed. Separable polynomials are defined to be those which have exactly n^d distinct zeros in [Ktilde] ?_k A [Ktilde] where [Ktilde] denotes an algebraic closure of k. The main result states that given a separable polynomial of degree n, the field extension L of minimal degree over k for which L ?_k A contains all nd zeros is finite Galois over k. It is shown that there is a non empty Zariski open subset in the affine space of all d-dimensional k algebras whose elements A have the following property: In the affine space of polynomials of precise degree n with coefficients in A there is a non empty Zariski open subset consisting of separable polynomials; in other polynomials with coefficients in a finite dimensional algebra are “generically” separable.     

On existence of finite universal Korovkin sets in Segal algebras

We prove that there exists a finite universal Korovkin set w.r.t positive operators for the centre of a Segal algebra on a compact groupG if and only ifG is metrizable. As a consequence it follows that a Segal algebra on a compact abelian group admits a finite universal Korovkin set w.r.t. positive operators iff the group is metrizable.     

Superalgebraic representation of Dirac matrices

We consider a Clifford extension of the Grassmann algebra in which operators are constructed from products of Grassmann variables and derivatives with respect to them. We show that this algebra contains a subalgebra isomorphic to a matrix algebra and that it additionally contains operators of a generalized matrix algebra that mix states with different numbers of Grassmann variables. We show that these operators are extensions of spin-tensors to the case of superspace. We construct a representation of Dirac matrices in the form of operators of a generalized matrix algebra.
