Abstract

Kramar and Kramar Fijavž proved that a commutator $Y=AB-BA$ of two complex square matrices is nilpotent whenever $Y$ commutes with an iterated commutator $δ_Y^{k}(A)$, where $δ_Y(T)=YT-TY$, and asked whether this result can be generalized to bounded operators on infinite-dimensional spaces. We show that for $k\geq 2$ such a commutator need not be quasinilpotent. On the other hand, for every $k$ it is quasinilpotent whenever it is compact, or more generally whenever it is a Riesz operator or $AY-YA$ is compact. Moreover, its Riesz projection at any non-zero isolated point of its spectrum always has infinite rank.

Löwner equations and de Branges--Rovnyak spaces

We study one-parameter families of de Branges--Rovnyak spaces associated with Löwner equations. The purpose of this paper is to give a new approach to a problem discussed by Sarason, Fricain--Hartmann--Ross, Fricain--Mashreghi, and Łanucha--Nowak. Our approach is based on a little-known technique, ``\textit{Löwner expansions}'', developed by the de Branges school. We recast ``\textit{Löwner expansions}'' in the theory of direct integrals and integral operators. Further, our framework also provides a natural setting for applying the theory of the chordal Löwner equation to the theory of de Branges--Rovnyak spaces. As an application, we prove Fourier-type expansion theorems induced by the Löwner equations.

On Continuous Wavelet Transform of Complex Radon Measures on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$

This paper investigates a necessary and sufficient condition for a measurable function on $\mathbb{R}^{\times} \times \mathbb{R}^{d}$ to be the continuous wavelet transform of a complex Radon measure on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ under suitable regularity conditions on the wavelets. We investigate various integrability properties of the wavelet transform of complex Radon measures. We define a new norm on the collection of such functions and show that it is isometrically isomorphic to the Banach algebra of complex Radon measures under convolution. We show a wavelet inversion formula for measures, in a restricted sense. Under additional hypothesis, we provide a reconstruction formula for the measure of closed rectangles in $\mathbb{R}^d$ using wavelet transforms. We have included supporting examples to substantiate these assumptions.

Compressions of Linear Relations in Krein Spaces

Given an orthogonal decomposition \(\widetilde{\mathfrak{H}} = \mathfrak{H}[\dotplus]\widehat{\mathfrak{H}}\) of a Krein space, we study compressions \({\mathrm{C}_{\mathfrak H}}(R)\) of linear relations \(R\) in \(\widetilde{\mathfrak{H}}\) to \(\mathfrak{H}\). We formulate a sufficient condition that ensures that compression commutes with taking adjoints, that is, the adjoint identity \({\mathrm{C}_{\mathfrak H}}(R^{\widetilde{*}}) = {\mathrm{C}_{\mathfrak H}}(R)^{*}\) holds. We derive preservation and reflection results for the compression of maximal dissipative, maximal symmetric, and self-adjoint linear relations. For nonnegative linear relations, the adjoint identity also implies that compression commutes with taking the Friedrichs extension. For \(\mathfrak{H}\ne\{0\}\), we characterize finite dimensionality of the exit space \(\widehat{\mathfrak{H}}\) by universal compression properties. Finally, we give a criterion for the adjoint identity to hold in terms of bounded linear functionals on \(R\).
