Halmos' two projections theorem for Hilbert $C^*$-module operators and the Friedrichs

Halmos' two projections theorem for Hilbert space operators is one of the fundamental results in operator theory. In this paper, we introduce the term of two harmonious projections in the context of adjointable operators on Hilbert $C^*$-modules, extend Halmos' two projections theorem to the case of two harmonious projections. We also give some new characterizations of the closed submodules and their associated projections. As an application, a norm equation associated to a characterization of the Friedrichs angle is proved to be true in the framework of Hilbert $C^*$-modules.

Positivity of $2\times 2$ block matrices of operators

We review some of the significant generalizations and applications of the celebrated Douglas theorem on the equivalence of factorization, range inclusion, and majorization of operators. We then apply it to find a characterization of the positivity of $2\times 2$ block matrices of operators in Hilbert spaces and finally describe the nature of such block matrices and provide several ways for showing their positivity.

The parallel sum for adjointable operators on Hilbert $C^*$-modules

The parallel sum for adjoinable operators on Hilbert $C^*$-modules is introduced and studied. Some results known for matrices and bounded linear operators on Hilbert spaces are generalized to the case of adjointable operators on Hilbert $C^*$-modules. It is shown that there exist a Hilbert $C^*$-module $H$ and two positive operators $A, B\in\mathcal{L}(H)$ such that the operator equation $A^{1/2}=(A+B)^{1/2}X, X\in \cal{L}(H)$ has no solution, where $\mathcal{L}(H)$ denotes the set of all adjointable operators on $H$.

The polar decomposition for adjointable operators on Hilbert $C^*$-modules and $n$-centered operators

Let $n$ be any natural number. The $n$-centered operator is introduced for adjointable operators on Hilbert $C^*$-modules. Based on the characterizations of the polar decomposition for the product of two adjointable operators, $n$-centered operators, centered operators as well as binormal operators are clarified, and some results known for the Hilbert space operators are improved. It is proved that for an adjointable operator $T$, if $T$ is Moore-Penrose invertible and is $n$-centered, then its Moore-Penrose inverse is also $n$-centered. A Hilbert space operator $T$ is constructed such that $T$ is $n$-centered, whereas it fails to be $(n+1)$-centered.

The polar decomposition for adjointable operators on Hilbert $C^*$-modules and centered operators

Let $T$ be an adjointable operator between two Hilbert $C^*$-modules and $T^*$ be the adjoint operator of $T$. The polar decomposition of $T$ is characterized as $T=U(T^*T)^\frac12$ and $\mathcal{R}(U^*)=\overline{\mathcal{R}(T^*)}$, where $U$ is a partial isometry, $\mathcal{R}(U^*)$ and $\overline{\mathcal{R}(T^*)}$ denote the range of $U^*$ and the norm closure of the range of $T^*$, respectively. Based on this new characterization of the polar decomposition, an application to the study of centered operators is carried out.

New multiplicative perturbation bounds for the generalized polar decomposition

Some new Frobenius norm bounds of the unique solution to certain structured Sylvester equation are derived. Based on the derived norm upper bounds, new multiplicative perturbation bounds are provided both for subunitary polar factors and positive semi-definite polar factors. Some previous results are then improved.

Perturbation estimation for the parallel sum of Hermitian positive semi-definite matrices

Let $\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$ be the set of all $n \times n$ complex matrices. For any Hermitian positive semi-definite matrices $A$ and $B$ in $\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$, their new common upper bound less than $A+B-A:B$ is constructed, where $(A+B)^†$ denotes the Moore-Penrose inverse of $A+B$, and $A:B=A(A+B)^†B$ is the parallel sum of $A$ and $B$. A factorization formula for $(A+X):(B+Y)-A:B-X:Y$ is derived, where $X,Y\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$ are any Hermitian positive semi-definite perturbations of $A$ and $B$, respectively. Based on the derived factorization formula and the constructed common upper bound of $X$ and $Y$, some new and sharp norm upper bounds of $(A+X):(B+Y)-A:B$ are provided. Numerical examples are also provided to illustrate the sharpness of the obtained norm upper bounds.

On majorization and range inclusion of operators on Hilbert $C^*$-modules

It is proved that for adjointable operators $A$ and $B$ between Hilbert $C^*$-modules, certain majorization conditions are always equivalent without any assumptions on $\overline{\mathcal{R}(A^*)}$, where $A^*$ denotes the adjoint operator of $A$ and $\overline{\mathcal{R}(A^*)}$ is the norm closure of the range of $A^*$. In the case that $\overline{{\mathcal R}(A^*)}$ is not orthogonally complemented, it is proved that there always exists an adjointable operator $B$ whose range is contained in that of $A$, whereas the associated equation $AX=B$ for adjointable operators is unsolvable.

Representations for weighted Moore-Penrose inverses of partitioned adjointable operators

For two positive definite adjointable operators $M$ and $N$, and an adjointable operator $A$ acting on a Hilbert $C^*$-module, some properties of the weighted Moore-Penrose inverse $A^†_{MN}$ are established. When $A=(A_{ij})$ is $1\times 2$ or $2\times 2$ partitioned, general representations for $A^†_{MN}$ in terms of the individual blocks $A_{ij}$ are studied. In case $A$ is $1\times 2$ partitioned, a unified representation for $A^†_{MN}$ is presented. In the $2\times 2$ partitioned case, an approach to constructing Moore-Penrose inverses from the non-weighted case to the weighted case is provided. Some results known for matrices are generalized in the general setting of Hilbert $C^*$-module operators.
