Abstract

We study the accretivity and m-accretivity of Laplacian and porous medium-type operators on weighted graphs. In particular, we give several conditions that imply these properties for maximal operators and investigate when these operators agree with various restrictions. For porous medium-type operators on $\ell^1$ and for Laplacians on $\ell^p$ for $p \in [1,\infty)$, we show that there always exists a dense subset of the domain on which the maximal operator is m-accretive. As a consequence, we establish that accretivity, m-accretivity and injectivity of the shifted operator are all equivalent for these maximal operators. Under additional conditions on the graph, we then prove that the maximal operators are m-accretive on the entire domain, not just a dense subset. We also investigate minimal operators and show that they are m-accretive if and only if the minimal and maximal operators agree and the maximal operator is accretive. We then give some conditions that imply this agreement. Furthermore, for the minimal Laplacian on $\ell^p$, we show that accretivity and m-accretivity are not equivalent. For the $\ell^2$ case, we give connections to Markov uniqueness and essential self-adjointness. For the $\ell^\infty$ case, we establish the equivalence of stochastic completeness at infinity, m-accretivity for the maximal Laplacian on $\ell^\infty$, and m-accretivity of the minimal Laplacian on $\ell^1$.

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.

Compactness of Toeplitz Operators on the Bergman Space

Let $φ\in L^\infty(\D)$. We study compactness criteria for \(T_φ\) on the Bergman space $A^2(\D)$. Axler and Zheng~\cite{AZ1998} established a necessary and sufficient condition for compactness in terms of the Berezin transform. For a general bounded measurable function $φ$, however, its Berezin transform $\tildeφ$ does not readily reveal the intrinsic properties of $φ$. Motivated by a characterization in terms of the symbol itself, Zhu~\cite{ZhuSlides} proposed a conjecture on compact Toeplitz operators. In this paper, we characterize compactness of $T_φ$ on the unweighted Bergman space in terms of local averages of the symbol. We prove that compactness is equivalent to the vanishing of averages over Bergman disks of any prescribed fixed radius. We also establish an equivalent criterion in terms of Carleson box averages that tend to zero uniformly in the angular variable. Finally, we construct a nonnegative bounded symbol whose Carleson box averages tend to zero at every fixed angle, although the associated Toeplitz operator is not compact.

Order automorphisms of partial isometries in $M_n(\mathbb C)$

We investigate and characterize order automorphisms on the set of partial isometries in the finite-dimensional matrix algebra $M_n(\mathbb{C})$. Different from the classical order automorphisms of subspace lattices, which can be implemented by standard invertible or unitary transformations, the order automorphisms considered herein admit no such conventional matrix representations. Instead, they are essentially governed by matrices such that $I-(A+A^*)$ is either positive or negative invertible. The results reveal that the structural features of order automorphisms for partial isometries are substantially more intricate than those of classical subspace automorphisms.
