Abstract

Hilbert C*-modules whose coefficient C*-algebra is equipped with a finite faithful trace generate Banach Gelfand triples. This provides a natural setting for a function space interpretation of Hilbert C*-modules. In particular, when the modules are finitely generated and projective, their external tensor products interact well with projective tensor products, allowing us to derive abstract kernel theorems for Hilbert C*-modules. As an application, we apply our results to Heisenberg modules and obtain new kernel theorems for time-frequency analysis.

Positive definite functions of noncommuting contractions, Hua-Bellman matrices, and a new distance metric

We study positive definiteness of Hua-Bellman matrices (i.e., matrices of the form $[\det(I-A_i^*A_j)^{-α}]_{ij}$, where $A_i$ and $A_j$ are strict contractions and $α\in\mathbb{R}$). We start by revisiting a 1959 work of Bellman (Representation theorems and inequalities for Hermitian matrices; Duke Mathematical J., 26(3), 1959) that studies positive definiteness of Hua-Bellman matrices and claims a strengthening of Hua's representation-theoretic results (Inequalities involving determinants; Acta Mathematica Sinica, 5 (1955)). We uncover a critical error in Bellman's proof that has surprisingly escaped notice to date, and we show by an explicit example that his claim itself is false. We then provide conditions under which $\det(I-A^*B)^{-α}$ is a positive definite function. For complex contractions our condition is the known sharp one, with the integer exponents below Hua's range reached by an elementary argument. For real symmetric contractions we recover the part of Bellman's claims that survives. Building on our result, we introduce a new Poincaré-like distance metric on noncommuting strict contractions, and yet another `log-det' based distance in the appendix.

Sharp perturbation bounds on the Frobenius norm of subunitary and positive polar factor

Leveraging tools from convex analysis and incorporating additional singular value information of matrices, we completely resolve the problem of establishing perturbation bounds for the Frobenius norm of subunitary and positive polar factors. We derive corresponding sharp upper and lower bounds. As corollaries, we refine the results of Li and Sun [SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 23 (2002), pp. 1183--1193] and strengthen the classical Araki-Yamagami inequality [Comm. Math. Phys., 81 (1981), no. 1, pp. 89--96]. The versatility of our method also allows us to strengthen Lee's conjecture, providing a sharper version along with a matching sharp lower bound. Furthermore, we generalize the classical matrix arithmetic-geometric mean inequality and Cauchy-Schwarz inequality into tighter and more robust forms. Finally, we establish a sharp lower bound for a result by Kittaneh [Comm. Math. Phys., 104 (1986), no. 2, pp. 307--310].

On the Dilation Theory and Canonical Decomposition of $\mathbfΘ_n$-Contractions

This paper investigates the domain $\mathbfΘ_n$ from an operator-theoretic perspective. We establish several characterizations of $\mathbfΘ_n$-contractions, $\mathbfΘ_n$-unitaries, and $\mathbfΘ_n$-isometries, and explore their connections with $Γ_n$- and tetrablock operator tuples, as well as with the corresponding operator classes associated with $\mathbfΘ_{n+1}$. We prove that every $\mathbfΘ_n$-contraction admits a canonical decomposition as the direct sum of a $\mathbfΘ_n$-unitary and a completely non-unitary $\mathbfΘ_n$-contraction. We further develop the conditional dilation theory for $\mathbfΘ_n$-contractions and establish necessary conditions for the existence of $\mathbfΘ_n$-isometric dilations. We show that the conditions in Theorem~\ref{Conditional Dilation} are not, in general, sufficient by constructing a $\mathbfΘ_3$-contraction that admits a $\mathbfΘ_3$-isometric dilation although condition~(2) of Theorem~\ref{Conditional Dilation} fails. We further study pure $\mathbfΘ_n$-isometric dilations of $\mathbfΘ_n$-contractions and establish a Hardy space characterization of such dilations. We show that the resulting $\mathbfΘ_n$-isometric dilation is minimal. We also study isometric dilations of doubly commuting $\mathbfΘ_n$-contractions under suitable Hardy space compatibility conditions. Finally, we identify a special class of $\mathbfΘ_2$-contractions that admits a $\mathbfΘ_2$-isometric dilation.
