Abstract

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.

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.

Numerical Invariants and Parameter Recovery for Quasi-Homogeneous Submodules $[z^k-w^\ell]$

We study Yang's higher numerical invariants for the quasi-homogeneous submodules \[ M_{k,\ell}=[z^k-w^\ell]\subset H^2(\mathbb D^2), \qquad k,\ell\in\mathbb N,\quad k\neq\ell. \] The Hilbert--Schmidt property and the low-order invariants $Σ_0$ and $Σ_1$ for this family follow from earlier results on $M_{θ,φ}$-type submodules. Our aim is to determine the complete higher-order sequence. Using the weighted homogeneous decomposition associated with $z^k-w^\ell$, we construct explicit orthonormal bases for the two defect spaces and determine the exact support of the shifted defect inner products. For $j\geq1$, set \[ A_j=\left\lceil\frac{j}{\ell}\right\rceil, \qquad B_j=\left\lceil\frac{j}{k}\right\rceil. \] We obtain \[ Σ_0(M_{k,\ell})=\frac{π^2}{6}, \qquad Σ_j(M_{k,\ell})=F(A_j,B_j), \] where $F$ is an explicitly evaluated symmetric function on $\mathbb N^2$. The sequence is nonincreasing, tends to zero, and satisfies $Σ_j>Σ_{j+1} \Longleftrightarrow k\mid j\ \text{or}\ \ell\mid j$. Hence its strict descent set is $k\mathbb N\cup\ell\mathbb N$. This descent set determines the additive semigroup $\langle k,\ell\rangle$, while the complete numerical invariant sequence determines the unordered pair $\{k,\ell\}$. The order of the two exponents is not recoverable because of coordinate-swap symmetry.
