Wiener-Hopf operators on a subsemigroup of a discrete torsion free abelian group

In the paper Wiener-Hopf operators on a semigroup of nonnegative elements of a linearly quasi-ordered torsion free Abelian group are considered. Wiener-Hopf factorization of an invertible element of the group algebra is constructed, notions of a topological index and a factor index are introduced. It turns out that the set of factor indices for invertible elements of the group algebra is a linearly ordered group. It is shown that Wiener-Hopf operator with an invertible symbol is an one-side invertible operator and its invertibility properties are defined by the sign of the factor index of its symbol. Groups on which there exist nontrivial Fredholm Wiener-Hopf operators are described. As an example, all linear quasi-orders on the group ⁿ are found and corresponding Wiener-Hopf operators are considered.     

Symmetrization of the symbol in Banach algebras generated by idempotents

It is known [2] that a Banach algebra generated by 2N idempotents with relations (1), (2) is an algebra with matrix symbol of order 2N. This symbol is completely and explicitly defined via the spectrums of two (indicator) elements (3) and (5). But in the case when is a c^*-algebra, the symbol constructed in [2] is notsymmetric. Moreover in order to construct asymmetric symbol, one needs some additional information about the algebra , even for the case whenp _j=p _j ^* (j=1, ..., 2N). These additional conditions and the explicit form ofsymmetric symbol are described in this paper.     

一类可逆的弱次正规算子的幂

It is known that the square of a ω- hyponormal operator is also ω- hyponormal. In this note it is showed that there exists an invertible operator which is not log-hyponormal but its integer powers are all ω-hyponormal.     

On the Inverse and Determinant of Certain Truncated Wiener-Hopf Operators

The solution of a problem arising in integrable systems requires sharp asymptotics for the inverses and determinants of truncated Wiener-Hopf operators, both in the regular case (where the non-truncated Wiener-Hopf operator is invertible) and in singular cases. This paper treats two cases where the symbol of the Wiener-Hopf operator has Fisher-Hartwig singularities, one double zero or two simple zeros. We find formulas for the inverse that hold uniformly throughout the underlying interval with very small error, and formulas for the determinant with very small error.     

Regularized determinants for pseudodifferential operators in vector bundles overS 1

We express the -regularized determinant of an elliptic pseudodifferential operatorA overS ¹ with strongly invertible principal symbol in terms of the Fredholm determinant of an operator of determinant class, canonically associated toA, and local invariants. These invariants are given by explicit formulae involving the principal and subprincipal symbol of the operator. We remark that,generically, elliptic pseudodifferential operators have a strongly invertible principal symbol.Research supported in part by NSF Grants.     

On closures of joint similarity orbits

For an n-tuple T=(T₁,..., T_n) of operators on a Hilbert spacexxHx, the joint similarity orbit of T isxxSx(T)={VTV^–1 =(VT₁V^–1,...,VT_nV^–1): V is invertible onxxHx}. We study the structure of the norm closure ofxxSx, both in the case when T is commutative and when it is not. We first develop a Rota-model for the Taylor spectrum and use it to study n-tuples with totally disconnected Taylor spectrum, in particular quasinilpotent ones. We then consider limits of nilpotent n-tuples, and of normal n-tuples. For noncommuting n-tuples, we present a number of surprising facts relating the closure ofxxSx(T) to the Harte spectrum of T and the lack of commutativity of T. We show that a continuous function which is constant onxxSx(T) for all T must be constant. We conclude the paper with a detailed study of closed similarity orbits.Research partially supported by grants from the National Science Foundation.     

Factorization along commutative subspace lattices

A positive invertible operatorT is said to be factorable along a commutative subspace latticeL if there is an invertible operatorA inAlg L whose inverse is also inAlg L and such thatT=A*A. We investigate a number of conditions that are equivalent to factorability of a given operator along a latticeL. As a byproduct, we derive a condition that guarantees that the latticeT L, defined as {range(TE) E L} is commutative. Applications are suggested to the particular case of factoringL functions via analytic Toeplitz operators on the polydisc.     

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.     

Spectra of completely log-hyponormal operators

An operatorT on a Hilbert space is called log-hyponormal if it is invertible and log(T ^* T)≥log(T ^* T). In this paper we study spectral properties of completely log-hyponormal operators.

On perturbations of linear m-accretive operators on reflexive Banach spaces

In this note we prove some results on the m-accretivity of sums and products of linear operators. In particular we obtain the following theorem: LetA, B be two m-accretive operators on a reflexive Banach space. IfA is invertible and (A)^–1 B is accretive thenBA ^–1 andA+B are m-accretive.     

A Note on the Spectrum of Invertible p-hyponormal Operators

A bounded linear operator T is clalled p-hyponormal if (T*T)^p ≥ (TT)^p, 0 < p < 1. It is known that for semi-hyponormal operators (p = 1/2), the spectrum of the operator is equal to the union of the spectra of the general polar symbols of the operator. In this paper we prove a somewhat weaker result for invertible p-hyponormal operators for 0 < p < 1/2.     

Ellipticity and invertibility in the cone algebra onL p -Sobolev spaces

Given a manifoldB with conical singularities, we consider the cone algebra with discrete asymptotics, introduced by Schulze, on a suitable scale ofL _p -Sobolev spaces. Ellipticity is proven to be equivalent to the Fredholm property in these spaces; it turns out to be independent of the choice ofp. We then show that the cone algebra is closed under inversion: whenever an operator is invertible between the associated Sobolev spaces, its inverse belongs to the calculus. We use these results to analyze the behaviour of these operators onL _p (B).     

On composition operators onH p -spaces in several variables

In this paper, we prove that a composition operator onH ^p (B) is Fredholm if and only if it is invertible if and only if its symbol is an automorphism onB, and give the representation of the spectra of a class of composition operators. In addition, using composition operator, we discuss intertwining Toeplitz operators. Supported by NNSF and PDSF     

Spectral Shorted Operators

If $$\mathcal{H}$$ is a Hilbert space, $$\mathcal{S}$$ is a closed subspace of $$\mathcal{H},$$ and A is a positive bounded linear operator on $$\mathcal{H},$$ the spectral shorted operator $$\rho \left( {\mathcal{S},\mathcal{A}} \right)$$ is defined as the infimum of the sequence $$\sum (\mathcal{S},A^n )^{1/n} ,$$ where denotes $$\sum \left( {\mathcal{S},B} \right)$$ the shorted operator of B to $$\mathcal{S}.$$ We characterize the left spectral resolution of $$\rho \left( {\mathcal{S},\mathcal{A}} \right)$$ and show several properties of this operator, particularly in the case that dim $${\mathcal{S} = 1.}$$ We use these results to generalize the concept of Kolmogorov complexity for the infinite dimensional case and for non invertible operators.     

On Toeplitz operators with quasihomogeneous symbols

In this paper, we give some basic results concerning Toeplitz operators whose symbol is of the form e^{i p θ}ϕ, where ϕ is a radial function, then use these results to characterize all Toeplitz operators which commute with them.Received: 12 June 2004; revised: 27 January 2005     

Schatten Class Hankel Operators on the Harmonic Bergman Space of the Unit Ball

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for Hankel operators H_f on the harmonic Bergman space of the unit ball to be in the Schatten p-class for 2 ≤ p < ∞. A special case when symbol f is a harmonic function is also considered.     

Composition operators acting between hardy spaces

A function-theoretic necessary and sufficient condition on a symbol is given for the compactness of the induced composition operator acting betweenH ^p andH ^q , forq. Compact differences of such composition operators are shown to occur only in the trivial case of both operators being compact themselves.     

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.     

ISOLATED POINTS OF THE APPROXIMATE POINT SPECTRUM OF CERTAIN LATTICE HOMOMORPHISMS ON Co (X)

Abstract

Suppose X is a locally compact Hausdorff space and C (X) the apace of all continuous complex valued functions on X which vanish at infinity. Let T be a (complex) linear lattice homomorphism on C_o (X) whose adjoint is also a lattice homomorphism. It is sham that every non-zero isolated point of the approximate point spectrum of T lies in the point spectrum of T. An example is given to show that the exclusion of zero is necessary, even when X is compact. The same techniques are then used to show that if also the spectrum of T is finite then T can be written, in a natural manner, as a direct sum of two such lattice homomorphisms; one being an n'th root of an invertible multiplication operator and the other quasi-nilpotent.     

Weighted Composition Operators on H 2 and Applications

Operators on function spaces acting by composition to the right with a fixed selfmap φ of some set are called composition operators of symbol φ. A weighted composition operator is an operator equal to a composition operator followed by a multiplication operator. We summarize the basic properties of bounded and compact weighted composition operators on the Hilbert Hardy space on the open unit disk and use them to study composition operators on Hardy–Smirnov spaces.
