Cyclicity of Cowen-Douglas operators

Cowen-Douglas operators are important Fredholm operators of positive index, for which we can calculate the complete unitary invariants. On the other hand, the cyclicity of an operator is an important property, which provides a useful tool for studing this operator. This paper is devoted to prove: Every Cowen-Douglas operator is cyclic.     

On hypercyclic rank one perturbations of unitary operators

Recently, S. Grivaux showed that there exists a rank one perturbation of a unitary operator in a Hilbert space which is hypercyclic. Another construction was suggested later by the first and the third authors. Here, using a functional model for rank one perturbations of singular unitary operators, we give yet another construction of hypercyclic rank one perturbation of a unitary operator. In particular, we show that any countable union of perfect Carleson sets on the circle can be the spectrum of a perturbed (hypercyclic) operator.     

Semigroups Generated by Similarity Orbits of Semi-invertible Operators and Unitary Orbits of Isometries

It is proved that for a left invertible operator A, which is not a sum of a scalar and a compact operator, the semigroup generated by similarity orbit of A contains all left invertible operators with suitable (large enough) deficiency. A corresponding result holds for right invertible operators. For isometries, the same statement is proved for unitary orbits.     

Integral representations of unbounded operators by infinitely smooth kernels

In this paper, we prove that every unbounded linear operator satisfying the Korotkov-Weidmann characterization is unitarily equivalent to an integral operator in L ₂(R), with a bounded and infinitely smooth Carleman kernel. The established unitary equivalence is implemented by explicitly definable unitary operators.     

Absolute continuity of spectral shift

In this paper we develop the method of double operator integrals to prove trace formulae for functions of contractions, dissipative operators, unitary operators and self-adjoint operators. To establish the absolute continuity of spectral shift, we use the Sz.-Nagy theorem on the absolute continuity of the spectral measure of the minimal unitary dilation of a completely nonunitary contraction. We also give a construction of an intermediate contraction for a pair of contractions with trace class difference.     

On periodic matrix-valued Weyl-Titchmarsh functions

We consider a certain class of Herglotz-Nevanlinna matrix-valued functions which can be realized as the Weyl-Titchmarsh matrix-valued function of some symmetric operator and its self-adjoint extension. New properties of Weyl-Titchmarsh matrix-valued functions as well as a new version of the functional model for such realizations are presented. In the case of periodic Herglotz-Nevanlinna matrix-valued functions, we provide a complete characterization of their realizations in terms of the corresponding functional model. We also obtain properties of a symmetric operator and its self-adjoint extension which generate a periodic Weyl-Titchmarsh matrix-valued function. We study pairs of operators (a symmetric operator and its self-adjoint extension) with constant Weyl-Titchmarsh matrix-valued functions and establish connections between such pairs of operators and representations of the canonical commutation relations for unitary groups of operators in Weyl's form. As a consequence of such an approach, we obtain the Stone-von Neumann theorem for two unitary groups of operators satisfying the commutation relations as well as some extension and refinement of the classical functional model for generators of those groups. Our examples include multiplication operators in weighted spaces, first and second order differential operators, as well as the Schrödinger operator with linear potential and its perturbation by bounded periodic potential.     

Unitary mappings between multiresolution analyses of L2 (R) and a parametrization of low-pass filters

This article provides classes of unitary operators of L²(R) contained in the commutant of the Shift operator, such that for any pair of multiresolution analyses of L²(R) there exists a unitary operator in one of these classes, which maps all the scaling functions of the first multiresolution analysis to scaling functions of the other. We use these unitary operators to provide an interesting class of scaling functions. We show that the Dai-Larson unitary parametrization of orthonormal wavelets is not suitable for the study of scaling functions. These operators give an interesting relation between low-pass filters corresponding to scaling functions, which is implemented by a special class of unitary operators acting on L²([−π, π)), which we characterize. Using this characterization we recapture Daubechies' orthonormal wavelets bypassing the spectral factorization process. Acknowledgements and Notes.

Real Linear Operator Theory and its Applications

Real linear operators arise in a range of applications of mathematical physics. In this paper, basic properties of real linear operators are studied and their spectral theory is developed. Suitable extensions of classical operator theoretic concepts are introduced. Providing a concrete class, real linear multiplication operators are investigated and, motivated by the Beltrami equation, related problems of unitary approximation are addressed.

Averaged wave operators on singular spectrum

We prove the existence of pairs of unitary (or self-adjoint) operators with singular spectral measure whose difference is a rank-two operator for which the Abel wave operators fail to exist. Also, we discuss the closely related problem of constructing the Hilbert transform with respect to a singular measure on the unit circle.     

K-fusion Frames and the Corresponding Generators for Unitary Systems

Motivated by K-frames and fusion frames, we study K-fusion frames in Hilbert spaces.By the means of operator K, frame operators and quotient operators, several necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence of closed subspaces and weights to be a K-fusion frame are obtained, and operators preserving K-fusion frames are discussed. In particular, we are interested in the K-fusion frames with the structure of unitary systems. Given a unitary system which has a complete wandering subspace, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a closed subspace to be a K-fusion frame generator.     

Products of positive operators

A new, very simple proof is given of a result of P. Y. Wu which asserts that every unitary operator on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is a product of positive operators.

     

Toeplitz liftings of Hankel forms bounded by non-Toeplitz norms

The Sz.Nagy-Foias commutant theorem is concerned with operators that commute with the compression of a given unitary operator, and it is natural to ask what can be said in the case of the compression of a nonunitary operator. Since the Sz.Nagy-Foias theorem was shown to be logically equivalent to a lifting theorem of Hankel forms subordinated to a pair of positive Toeplitz forms, another formulation of the question is: What can be said about the Toeplitz extension of a Hankel form subordinated to a pair of positive but non-Toeplitz forms? Here we give some answers to this question, relating it to unitary extensions in Krein spaces and to scattering systems whose evolution operator is unitary only with respect to an indefinite metric. Integral representations can be given in the case of the Nehari theorem, where the Grothendieck inequality plays a role.     

Unitarity of Generalized Fourier–Gauss Transforms

Abstract

A generalized Fourier–Gauss transform is an operator acting in a Boson Fock space and is formulated as a continuous linear operator acting on the space of test white noise functions. It does not admit, in general, a unitary extension with respect to the norm of the Boson Fock space induced from the Gaussian measure with variance 1 but is extended to a unitary isomorphism if the Gaussian measure is replaced with the ones with different covariance operators. As an application, unitarity of a generalized dilation is discussed.     

Deforming the point spectra of one-dimensional Dirac operators

We provide a method of inserting and removing any finite number of prescribed eigenvalues into spectral gaps of a given one-dimensional Dirac operator. This is done in such a way that the original and deformed operators are unitarily equivalent when restricted to the complement of the subspace spanned by the newly inserted eigenvalue. Moreover, the unitary transformation operator which links the original operator to its deformed version is explicitly determined.

     

On weak supercyclicity II

This paper considers weak supercyclicity for bounded linear operators on a normed space. On the one hand, weak supercyclicity is investigated for classes of Hilbertspace operators: (i) self-adjoint operators are not weakly supercyclic, (ii) diagonalizable operators are not weakly l-sequentially supercyclic, and (iii) weak l-sequential supercyclicity is preserved between a unitary operator and its adjoint. On the other hand, weak supercyclicity is investigated for classes of normed-space operators: (iv) the point spectrum of the normed-space adjoint of a power bounded supercyclic operator is either empty or is a singleton in the open unit disk, (v) weak l-sequential supercyclicity coincides with supercyclicity for compact operators, and (vi) every compact weakly l-sequentially supercyclic operator is quasinilpotent.     

Integrable operators and the squares of Hankel operators

Integrable operators arise in random matrix theory, where they describe the asymptotic eigenvalue distribution of large self-adjoint random matrices from the generalized unitary ensembles. This paper gives sufficient conditions for an integrable operator to be the square of a Hankel operator, and applies the condition to the Airy, associated Laguerre, modified Bessel and Whittaker functions.     

Crank-nicolsen-Galerkin approximation for Maxwell's equations

The Maxwell equations are formulated as an evolution equation in a suitable chosen Hilbert space involving a densely defined closed skew-Hermitian operator which generates a unitary group. A Crank-Nicolsen-Galerkin approximation is then established and convergence is shown by arguments from the theory of approximation of groups of operators.
