A real square matrix $A$ is called a P-matrix if all its principal minors are positive. Using the sign non-reversal property of matrices, the notion of P-matrix has been recently extended by Kannan and Sivakumar to infinite-dimensional Banach spaces relative to a given Schauder basis. Motivated by their work, we discuss P-operators on separable real Hilbert spaces. We also investigate P-operators relative to various orthonormal bases.
We give an operator-algebraic treatment of theory of p-approximate Schuader frames which includes the theory of operator-valued frames by Kaftal, Larson, and Zhang [\textit{Trans. AMS., 2009}], G-frames by Sun [JMAA, 2006], factorable weak operator-valued frames by Krishna and Johnson [\textit{Annals of FA, 2022}] and p-approximate Schauder frames by Krishna and Johnson [\textit{J. Pseudo-Differ. Oper. Appl, 2021}] as particular cases. We show that a sufficiently rich theory can be developed even for Banach spaces. We achieve this by defining various concepts and characterizations in Banach spaces. These include duality, approximate duality, equivalence, orthogonality and stability.
Difficulty in the construction of dual frames for a given Hilbert space led to the introduction of approximately dual frames in Hilbert spaces by Christensen and Laugesen. It becomes even more difficult in Banach spaces to construct duals. For this purpose, we introduce approximately dual frames for a class of approximate Schauder frames for Banach spaces and develop basic theory. Approximate duals for this subclass is completely characterized and its perturbation is also studied.
A bounded linear operator $ A$ on a Hilbert space $ \mathcal H $ is said to be an $ EP $ (hypo-$ EP $) operator if ranges of $ A $ and $ A^* $ are equal (range of $ A $ is contained in range of $ A^* $) and $ A $ has a closed range. In this paper, we define $EP$ and hypo-$EP$ operators for densely defined closed linear operators on Hilbert spaces and extend results from bounded operator settings to (possibly unbounded) closed operator settings.
In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of Moore-Penrose inverse of a product of two matrices in an indefinite inner product space (IIPS) in which reverse order law holds good. Rank equivalence formulas with respect to IIPS are provided and an open problem is given at the end.
In this paper, some more properties of the generalized principal pivot transform are derived. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the equality between Moore-Penrose inverse of a generalized principal pivot transform and its complementary generalized principal pivot transform are presented. It has been shown that the generalized principal pivot transform preserves the rank of symmetric part of a given square matrix. These results appear to be more generalized than the existing ones. Inheritance property of $P_{\dagger}$-matrix are also characterized for generalized principal pivot transform.
Let $\{λ_n\}_n \in \ell^\infty(\mathbb{N})$. In 1960, R. Schatten \cite{SCHATTEN} studied operators of the form $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}λ_n (x_n\otimes \bar{y_n})$, where $\{x_n\}_n$, $\{y_n\}_n$ are orthonormal sequences in a Hilbert space. In 2007, P. Balazs \cite{BALAZS3} generalized this by replacing $\{x_n\}_n$ and $\{y_n\}_n$ by Bessel sequences. In this paper, we generalize this by studying the operators of the form $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}λ_n (A^*_nx_n\otimes \bar{B^*_ny_n})$, where $\{A_n\}_n$ and $\{B_n\}_n$ are operator-valued Bessel sequences and $\{x_n\}_n$, $\{y_n\}_n$ are sequences in the Hilbert space such that $\{\|x_n\|\|y_n\|\}_n \in \ell^\infty(\mathbb{N})$. We next generalize the classes of Hilbert-Schmidt and trace class operators.
We continue the study dilation of linear maps on vector spaces introduced by Bhat, De, and Rakshit. This notion is a variant of vector space dilation introduced by Han, Larson, Liu, and Liu. We derive vector space versions of Wold decomposition, Halmos dilation, N-dilation, inter-twining lifting theorem and a variant of Ando dilation. It is noted further that unlike a kind of uniqueness of Halmos dilation of strict contractions on Hilbert spaces, vector space version of Halmos dilation can not be characterized.
Let $\mathcal{H}$ be an infinite dimensional Hilbert space and $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ be the C*-algebra of all bounded linear operators on $\mathcal{H}$, equipped with the operator-norm. By improving the Brown-Pearcy construction, Terence Tao in 2018, extended the result of Popa [1981] which reads as : For each $0<\varepsilon\leq 1/2$, there exist $D,X \in \mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ with $\|[D,X]-1_{\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})}\|\leq \varepsilon$ such that $\|D\|\|X\|=O\left(\log^5\frac{1}{\varepsilon}\right)$, where $[D,X]:= DX-XD$. In this paper, we show that Tao's result still holds for certain class of unital C*-algebras which include $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ as well as the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_2$.
It is known in Hilbert space frame theory that a Bessel sequence can be expanded to a frame. Contrary to Hilbert space situation, using a result of Casazza and Christensen, we show that there are Banach spaces and approximate Bessel sequences which can not be expanded to approximate Schauder frames. We characterize Banach spaces in which one can expand approximate Bessel sequences to approximate Schauder frames.
Fuglede-Putnam theorem is not true in general for $ EP $ operators on Hilbert spaces. We prove that under some conditions the theorem holds good. If the adjoint operation is replaced by Moore-Penrose inverse in the theorem, we get Fuglede-Putnam type theorem for $ EP $ operators -- however proofs are totally different. Finally, interesting results on $ EP $ operators have been proved using several versions of Fuglede-Putnam type theorems for $ EP $ operators on Hilbert spaces.
A very useful identity for Parseval frames for Hilbert spaces was obtained by Balan, Casazza, Edidin, and Kutyniok. In this paper, we obtain a similar identity for Parseval p-approximate Schauder frames for Banach spaces which admits a homogeneous semi-inner product in the sense of Lumer-Giles.
Paley-Wiener theorem for frames for Hilbert spaces, Banach frames, Schauder frames and atomic decompositions for Banach spaces are known. In this paper, we derive Paley-Wiener theorem for p-approximate Schauder frames for separable Banach spaces. We show that our results give Paley-Wiener theorem for frames for Hilbert spaces.
Famous Naimark-Han-Larson dilation theorem for frames in Hilbert spaces states that every frame for a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is image of a Riesz basis under an orthogonal projection from a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_1$ which contains $\mathcal{H}$ isometrically. In this paper, we derive dilation result for p-approximate Schauder frames for separable Banach spaces. Our result contains Naimark-Han-Larson dilation theorem as a particular case.
Let $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{H}_0$ be Hilbert spaces and $\{A_n\}_n$ be a sequence of bounded linear operators from $\mathcal{H}$ to $\mathcal{H}_0$. The study frames for Hilbert spaces initiated the study of operators of the form $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}A_n^*A_n$, where the convergence is in the strong-operator topology, by Kaftal, Larson and Zhang in the paper: Operator-valued frames. \textit{Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.}, 361(12):6349-6385, 2009. In this paper, we generalize this and study the series of the form $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}Ψ_n^*A_n$, where $\{Ψ_n\}_n$ is a sequence of operators from $\mathcal{H}$ to $\mathcal{H}_0$. Main tool used in the study of $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}A_n^*A_n$ is the factorization of this series. Since the series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}Ψ_n^*A_n$ may not be factored, it demands greater care. Therefore we impose a factorization of $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}Ψ_n^*A_n$ and derive various results. We characterize them and derive dilation results. We further study the series by taking the indexed set as group as well as group-like unitary system. We also derive stability results.
Various norms can be defined on a Krein space by choosing different underlying fundamental decompositions. Some estimates of norms on Krein spaces are discussed and few results in Bognar's paper are generalized.
We make a systematic study of frames for metric spaces. We prove that every separable metric space admits a metric $\mathcal{M}_d$-frame. Through Lipschitz-free Banach spaces we show that there is a correspondence between frames for metric spaces and frames for subsets of Banach spaces. We derive some characterizations of metric frames. We also derive stability results for metric frames.
We begin the study of characterizations of recently defined approximate Schauder frame (ASF) and its duals for separable Banach spaces. We show that, under some conditions, both ASF and its dual frames can be characterized for Banach spaces. We also give an operator-theoretic characterization for similarity of ASFs. Our results encode the results of Holub, Li, Balan, Han, and Larson. We also address orthogonality of ASFs.
