Operators on anti-dual pairs: Means of positive operators

We develop a theory of Kubo-Ando type means for positive operators on anti-dual pairs. This framework extends the classical theory of operator means beyond bounded Hilbert space operators and provides a common setting for several concrete classes of positive objects, including nonnegative sesquilinear forms and states on $C^*$-algebras. We also introduce a Busch-Gudder type strength function for positive operators on anti-dual pairs and investigate its interaction with operator means. Applications are given to Hilbert space operators, nonnegative forms, and representable positive functionals.

Existence theorem on the UV limit of Wilsonian RG flows of Feynman measures

In nonperturbative formulation of Euclidean signature quantum field theory (QFT), the vacuum state is characterized by the Wilsonian renormalization group (RG) flow of Feynman measures. Such an RG flow is a family of Feynman measures on the space of ultraviolet (UV) regularized fields, linked by the Wilsonian renormalization group equation. In this paper we show that under mild conditions, a Wilsonian RG flow of Feynman measures extending to arbitrary regularization strengths has a factorization property: there exists an ultimate Feynman measure (UV limit) on the distribution sense fields, such that the regularized instances in the flow are obtained from this UV limit via taking the marginal measure against the regulator. Existence theorems on the flow and UV limit of the corresponding action functional are also discussed.

Basic representation theorems of forms

We study maximal representations of nonnegative sesquilinear forms in real or complex Hilbert spaces, that are not necessarily closed or even closable. We associate positive self-adjoint operators with such forms, in a sense similar to Kato's representation theorems. In particular, we give a brief proof of the Friedrichs extension of a densely defined positive operator.

Operators on anti-dual pairs: Lebesgue decomposition via Arlinskii's iteration

The aim of this paper is to prove a general Lebesgue decomposition theorem for positive operators on so-called anti-dual pairs, following the iterative approach introduced by Arlinskii. This procedure and the resulting theorem encompass several special cases, including positive operators on Hilbert spaces, non-negative forms on vector spaces, and representable functionals over *-algebras.

On the running and the UV limit of Wilsonian renormalization group flows

In nonperturbative formulation of quantum field theory (QFT), the vacuum state is characterized by the Wilsonian renormalization group (RG) flow of Feynman type field correlators. Such a flow is a parametric family of ultraviolet (UV) regularized field correlators, the parameter being the strength of the UV regularization, and the instances with different strength of UV regularizations are linked by the renormalization group equation (RGE). Important RG flows are those which reach out to any UV regularization strengths. In this paper it is shown that for these flows a natural, mathematically rigorous generally covariant definition can be given, and that they form a topological vector space which is Hausdorff, locally convex, complete, nuclear, semi-Montel, Schwartz. That is, they form a generalized function space having favorable properties, similar to multivariate distributions. The other theorem proved in the paper is that for Wilsonian RG flows reaching out to all UV regularization strengths, a simple factorization formula holds in case of bosonic fields over flat (affine) spacetime: the flow always originates from a regularization-independent distributional correlator, and its running satisfies an algebraic ansatz. The conjecture is that this factorization theorem should generically hold, which is worth future investigations.

Operators on anti-dual pairs: Supremum and infimum of positive operators

Our purpose in this note is to investigate the order properties of positive operators from a locally convex space into its conjugate dual. We introduce a natural generalization of the Busch-Gudder strength function and we prove Kadison's anti-lattice theorem and Ando's result on the infimum of positive operators in that context.

Extensions of positive symmetric operators and Krein's uniqueness criteria

We revise Krein's extension theory of positive symmetric operators. Our approach using factorization through an auxiliary Hilbert space has several advantages: it can be applied to non-densely defined transformations and it works in both real and complex spaces. As an application of the results and the construction we consider positive self-adjoint extensions of the modulus square operator $T^*T$ of a densely defined linear transformation $T$ and bounded self-adjoint extensions of a symmetric operator. Krein's results on the uniqueness of positive (respectively, norm preserving) self-adjoint extensions are also revised.

Perturbations of surjective homomorphisms between algebras of operators on Banach spaces

A remarkable result of Molnár [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 126 (1998), 853-861] states that automorphisms of the algebra of operators acting on a separable Hilbert space is stable under "small" perturbations. More precisely, if $ϕ,ψ$ are endomorphisms of $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ such that $\|ϕ(A)-ψ(A)\|<\|A\|$ and $ψ$ is surjective then so is $ϕ$. The aim of this paper is to extend this result to a larger class of Banach spaces including $\ell_p$ and $L_p$ spaces ($1<p<+\infty$). En route to the proof we show that for any Banach space $X$ from the above class all faithful, unital, separable, reflexive representations of $\mathcal B (X)$ which preserve rank one operators are in fact isomorphisms.

Maps preserving the Douglas solution of operator equations

We consider bijective maps $ϕ$ on the full operator algebra $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ of an infinite dimensional Hilbert space with the property that, for every $A,B,X\in \mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$, $X$ is the Douglas solution of the equation $A=BX$ if and only if $Y=ϕ(X)$ is the Douglas solution of the equation $ϕ(A)=ϕ(B)Y$. We prove that those maps are implemented by a unitary or anti-unitary map $U$, i.e., $ϕ(A)=UAU^*$.

Canonical graph contractions of linear relations on Hilbert spaces

Given a closed linear relation $T$ between two Hilbert spaces $\mathcal H$ and $\mathcal K$, the corresponding first and second coordinate projections $P_T$ and $Q_T$ are both linear contractions from $T$ to $\mathcal H$, and to $\mathcal K$, respectively. In this paper we investigate the features of these graph contractions. We show among others that $P_T^{}P_T^*=(I+T^*T)^{-1}$, and that $Q_T^{}Q_T^*=I-(I+TT^*)^{-1}$. The ranges $\operatorname{ran} P_T^{*}$ and $\operatorname{ran} Q_T^{*}$ are proved to be closely related to the so called `regular part' of $T$. The connection of the graph projections to Stone's decomposition of a closed linear relation is also discussed.

Operators on anti-dual pairs: self-adjoint extensions and the Strong Parrott Theorem

The aim of this paper is to develop an approach to obtain self-adjoint extensions of symmetric operators acting on anti-dual pairs. The main advantage of such a result is that it can be applied for structures not carrying a Hilbert space structure or a normable topology. In fact, we will show how hermitian extensions of linear functionals of involutive algebras can be governed by means of their induced operators. As an operator theoretic application, we provide a direct generalization of Parrott's theorem on contractive completion of $2$ by $2$ block operator-valued matrices. To exhibit the applicability in noncommutative integration, we characterize hermitian extendibility of symmetric functionals defined on a left ideal of a $C^{*}$-algebra.

Maps preserving absolute continuity and singularity of positive operators

In this paper we consider the cone of all positive, bounded operators acting on an infinite dimensional, complex Hilbert space, and examine bijective maps that preserve absolute continuity in both directions. It turns out that these maps are exactly those that preserve singularity in both directions. Moreover, in some weak sense, such maps are always induced by bounded, invertible, linear- or conjugate linear operators of the underlying Hilbert space. Our result gives a possible generalization of a recent theorem of Molnar which characterizes maps on the positive cone that preserve the Lebesgue decomposition of operators.

Operators on anti-dual pairs: Generalized Schur complement

The goal of this paper is to develop the theory of Schur complementation in the context of operators acting on anti-dual pairs. As a byproduct, we obtain a natural generalization of the parallel sum and parallel difference, as well as the Lebesgue-type decomposition. To demonstrate how this operator approach works in application, we derive the corresponding results for operators acting on rigged Hilbert spaces, and for representable functionals of ${}^{*}$-algebras.

Range-kernel characterizations of operators which are adjoint of each other

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a pair $S,T$ of Hilbert space operators in order that they satisfy $S^*=T$ and $T^*=S$. As a main result we establish an improvement of von Neumann's classical theorem on the positive self-adjointness of $S^*S$ for two variables. We also give some new characterizations of self-adjointness and skew-adjointness of operators, not requiring their symmetry or skew-symmetry, respectively.

Operators on anti-dual pairs: Lebesgue decomposition of positive operators

In this paper we introduce and study absolute continuity and singularity of positive operators acting on anti-dual pairs. We establish a general theorem that can be considered as a common generalization of various earlier Lebesgue-type decompositions. Different algebraic and topological characterizations of absolute continuity and singularity are supplied and also a complete description of uniqueness of the decomposition is provided. We apply the developed decomposition theory to some concrete objects including Hilbert space operators, Hermitian forms, representable functionals, and additive set functions.

On the Operator Equations $A^n=A^*A$

Let $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and let $A$ be a closed linear operator (everywhere bounded or unbounded). In this paper, we study (among others) equations of the type $A^*A=A^n$ where $n\geq2$ and see when they yield $A=A^*$ (or a weaker class of operators). In case $n\geq3$, we have in fact a new class of operators which could placed right after orthogonal projections and just before normal operators.

Operators on anti-dual pairs: Generalized Krein--von Neumann extension

The main aim of this paper is to generalize the classical concept of positive operator, and to develop a general extension theory, which overcomes not only the lack of a Hilbert space structure, but also the lack of a normable topology. The concept of anti-duality carries an adequate structure to define positivity in a natural way, and is still general enough to cover numerous important areas where the Hilbert space theory cannot be applied. Our running example -- illustrating the applicability of the general setting to spaces bearing poor geometrical features -- comes from noncommutative integration theory. Namely, representable extension of linear functionals of involutive algebras will be governed by their induced operators. The main theorem, to which the vast majority of the results is built, gives a complete and constructive characterization of those operators that admit a continuous positive extension to the whole space. Various properties such as commutation, or minimality and maximality of special extensions will be studied in detail.

Quasi-units as orthogonal projections

The notion of quasi-unit has been introduced by Yosida in unital Riesz spaces. Later on, a fruitful potential theoretic generalization was obtained by Arsove and Leutwiler. Due to the work of Eriksson and Leutwiler, this notion also turned out to be an effective tool by investigating the extreme structure of operator segments. This paper has multiple purposes which are interwoven, and are intended to be equally important. On the one hand, we identify quasi-units as orthogonal projections acting on an appropriate auxiliary Hilbert space. As projections form a lattice and are extremal points of the effect algebra, we conclude the same properties for quasi-units. Our second aim is to apply these results for nonnegative sesquilinear forms. Constructing an order preserving bijection between operator- and form segments, we provide a characterization of being extremal in the convexity sense, and we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the greatest lower bound of two forms. Closing the paper we revisit some statements by using the machinery developed by Hassi, Sebestyén, and de Snoo. It will turn out that quasi-units are exactly the closed elements with respect to the antitone Galois connection induced by parallel addition and subtraction.
