On Commutators of Idempotents

It is shown that a pair of idempotent operators on a Banach space is triangularizable if their commutator is nilpotent. Moreover, if every operator on Hilbert space has an invariant subspace, then a pair of idempotents on Hilbert space is triangularizable if their commutator is quasinilpotent. These results are generalized from idempotents to quadratic operators.     

On simultaneous triangularization of collections of compact operators

In this paper we consider collections of compact (resp. C_p class) operators on arbitrary Banach (resp. Hilbert) spaces. For a subring R of reals, it is proved that an R-algebra of compact operators with spectra in R on an arbitrary Banach space is triangularizable if and only if every member of the algebra is triangularizable. It is proved that every triangularizability result on certain collections, e.g., semigroups, of compact operators on a complex Banach (resp. Hilbert) space gives rise to its counterpart on a real Banach (resp. Hilbert) space. We use our main results to present new proofs as well as extensions of certain classical theorems (e.g., those due to Kolchin, McCoy, and others) on arbitrary Banach (resp. Hilbert) spaces.     

Invariant and Almost-Invariant Subspaces for Pairs of Idempotents

It is known that every bounded operator on an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space \({\mathcal{H}}\) has an invariant subspace if and only if each pair of idempotents on \({\mathcal{H}}\) has a common invariant subspace. We show that the same equivalence holds for operators and pairs of idempotents that are essentially selfadjoint. We also show that each pair of idempotents on \({\mathcal{H}}\) has a common almost-invariant half-space.     

Invariant Subspaces for Semigroups of Algebraic Operators

T. Laffey showed (Linear and Multilinear Algebra6(1978), 269–305) that a semigroup of matrices is triangularizable if the ranks of all the commutators of elements of the semigroup are at most 1. Our main theorem is an extension of Hthis result to semigroups of algebraic operators on a Banach space. We also obtain a related theorem for a pair {A, B} of arbitrary bounded operators satisfying rank (AB−BA)=1 and several related conditions. In addition, it is shown that a semigroup of algebraically unipotent operators of bounded degree is triangularizable.     

Unbounded symmetrizable idempotents

The relationship between closed unbounded idempotents and dense decompositions of a Hilbert space is explored by extending the notion of compatibility between closed subspaces and positive bounded operators.     

On algebras of polynomially compact operators

In this paper, we find sufficient and necessary conditions for a triangularizable closed algebra of polynomially compact operators to be commutative modulo the radical. We also prove that an algebraic algebra of operators of a bounded degree on a Banach space is triangularizable under some mild additional conditions. As a special case we obtain a result stating that every algebraic algebra of operators of bounded degree is triangularizable whenever its commutators are nilpotent operators.

Isometric Equivalence of Certain Operators on Banach Spaces

A pair of operators on a Banach space X are isometrically equivalent if they are intertwined by a surjective isometry of X. We investigate the isometric equivalence problem for pairs of operators on specific types of Banach spaces. We study weighted shifts on symmetric sequence spaces, elementary operators acting on an ideal I of Hilbert space operators, and composition operators on the Bloch space. This last case requires an extension of known results about surjective isometries of the Bloch space.     

Uncertainty Principles in Hilbert Spaces

In this article we provide several generalizations of inequalities bounding the commutator of two linear operators acting on a Hilbert space which relate to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and time/frequency analysis of periodic functions. We develop conditions that ensure these inequalities are sharp and apply our results to concrete examples of importance in the literature.     

On classification of von Neumann algebras in a space with conjugation

In this paper for the first time we show that in the complex Hilbert space with the conjugation operator a classification of von Neumann algebras is possible. Similar classification is known for Krein spaces. Projectors (idempotents) often serve as elements of quantum logic. In operator theories projectors play the role of elements from which bounded operators are constructed. For one special case we show that for any projector from von Neumann algebra which acts in a separable Hilbert space one can always find conjugation operator J adjoined to this algebra for which the projector is self-adjoint.

Norm inequalities for the spectral spread of Hermitian operators

In this work, we introduce a new measure for the dispersion of the spectral scale of a Hermitian (self-adjoint) operator acting on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space that we call spectral spread. Then, we obtain some submajorization inequalities involving the spectral spread of self-adjoint operators, that are related to Tao's inequalities for anti-diagonal blocks of positive operators, Kittaneh's commutator inequalities for positive operators and also related to the arithmetic–geometric mean inequality. In turn, these submajorization relations imply inequalities for unitarily invariant norms (in the compact case).     

Polar decomposition in e-rings

An e-ring is a generalization of the ring of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space together with the subset consisting of all effect operators on that space. Associated with an e-ring is a partially ordered abelian group, called its directed group, that generalizes the additive group of bounded Hermitian operators on the Hilbert space. We prove that every element of the directed group of an e-ring has a polar decomposition if and only if every element has a carrier projection and is split by a projection into a positive and a negative part.     

The Friedrichs Extension of a Pair of Operators

Abstract

An extension of a pair of linear unbounded operators which map from a Banach space X to a Hilbert space Y is constructed and studied. The purpose of the extension is to obtain a pair of jointly closed operators which will be the generating pair of a B-evolution similar to the classical Friedrichs extension of a single operator which generates a holomorphic semigroup. The construction is based on spectral methods.     

Commutators, Spectral Trace Identities, and Universal Estimates for Eigenvalues

Using simple commutator relations, we obtain several trace identities involving eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of an abstract self-adjoint operator acting in a Hilbert space. Applications involve abstract universal estimates for the eigenvalue gaps. As particular examples, we present simple proofs of the classical universal estimates for eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian, as well as of some known and new results for other differential operators and systems. We also suggest an extension of the methods to the case of non-self-adjoint operators.     

Solvable Jordan algebras of compact operators

It is proved that a Jordan algebra of compact operators which is closed is either an Engel Jordan algebra, or contains a nonzero finite rank operator; Moreover, it is showed that any solvable Jordan algebra of compact operators on an infinite dimensional Banach space is triangularizable.

Standard triangularization of semigroups of non-negative operators

We show that, under mild conditions, a semigroup of non-negative operators on L^p(X,μ) (for 1?p<∞) of the form scalar plus compact is triangularizable via standard subspaces if and only if each operator in the semigroup is individually triangularizable via standard subspaces. Also, in the case of operators of the form identity plus trace class we show that triangularizability via standard subspaces is equivalent to the submultiplicativity of a certain function on the semigroup.
