Abstract

We consider the operator--theoretic model for the group of biholomorphic automorphisms $Aut(B)$ of the unit ball $B$ of a complex Hilbert space $\H$ by representing each automorphism as a bounded linear operator on the augmented Hilbert space $\H\oplus \mathbb{C}$. Any member of $Aut(B)$ admits a natural block operator matrix representation acting on $\mathcal{H}\oplus\mathbb{C}$. We study the geometry of the subset $M(\mathcal{H})$ of $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H}\oplus\mathbb{C})$ consisting of these block operator matrices. It is shown that every element corresponding to a non-rotation automorphism is a smooth point of $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H}\oplus\mathbb{C})$. Orthogonality between two such matrices is characterized geometrically by the antipodality of the corresponding Möbius images of a boundary point of the ball. This orthogonality characterization is applied to show that an inner automorphism of $\Aut(B)$ that preserves Birkhoff--James orthogonality in both directions if and only if it is conjugation by a pure rotation, yielding a rigidity result. The normalized block matrices are $J$-unitary under a suitable normalization, where $J = \operatorname{diag}(I_{\mathcal{H}}, -1)$. We show that norm of such block matrices satisfy a submultiplicativity under a certain composition rule other than usual operator multiplication, and induce a metric on certain subsets of $Aut(B)$ which recover the hyperbolic metric on the Hilbert ball. The symmetric structure of Birkhoff--James orthogonality within $M(\mathcal{H})$ is also studied: there are no left-symmetric points, while the only right-symmetric points are pure rotations.

Conditional expectation operators on $C(X)$

At the COSAEF conference in 2021, several participants asked the question whether a conditional expectation operator in the sense of Kuo, Labaushagne and Watson could be constructed in vector lattices other than $\mathcal{L}_p$ spaces and in particular in $C(X)$. This work answers positively to this question and participates in an old discussion on integrals in $C(X)$ space.

Fixed Point Rigidity of the Operator $Γ_pΠ_p^\ast$ and the LYZ Conjecture

We characterize the fixed points of the operator $Γ_pΠ_p^\ast$ for $n\geq 3$ and $1 0$ if and only if $K$ is an origin-centered ellipsoid, thereby settling the Lutwak--Yang--Zhang fixed-point conjecture in this range. Our proof is based on a variational analysis along linear reflection shadow systems. To address the nonlinear structure of the $L_p$ setting, we introduce the $L_p$-Projection Rolodex, which provides a dimensional reduction of the volume of the polar $L_p$-projection body to weighted lower-dimensional sectional functionals. A suitable change of variables, together with Ball's harmonic Prékopa--Leindler inequality, yields the convexity needed along the shadow system. Under the fixed-point condition, a first-variation identity then forces $\operatorname{vol}_n(Π_p^\ast K_t)$ to remain constant throughout the deformation. The rigidity statement follows from the equality characterization under Steiner symmetrization.

Logarithmic oscillatory multipliers and log-subdyadic square functions

We develop square-function estimates for Fourier multipliers whose local oscillation scale is \[ ρ(R)=\frac{R}{(\log R)^{γ-1}}, \qquad γ>1. \] This scale lies strictly between the dyadic scale and every fixed power-subdyadic scale at high frequency. For high-frequency symbols satisfying a localized Sobolev condition on balls of radius comparable to $ρ(R)$, we prove a pointwise square-function estimate and a weighted $L^2$ multiplier inequality. After adjoining a smooth compactly supported low-frequency part, we derive unweighted $L^p$ bounds. The weighted estimate is governed by a logarithmic geometric maximal operator which is strongly bounded above the critical $L^r$ threshold, satisfies weak type at the critical equality, and fails even weak type below it. As a model application, consider \[ L(ξ)=\frac12\log(e^2+|ξ|^2), \qquad m_{γ,β}(ξ)=L(ξ)^{-β}e^{iL(ξ)^γ}. \] For $p=2$, the associated multiplier is bounded on $L^2$ for every $β\geq0$. For $1 d(γ-1)\left|\frac12-\frac1p\right|. \] At the critical equality we obtain the corresponding Lorentz endpoint estimates.
