On topological modules and duality
On unitary equivalence of quasi-free Hilbert modules
We characterize unitary equivalence of quasi-free Hilbert modules, which complements Douglas and Misra's earlier work [New York J. Math. 11 (2005)]. We first confine our arguments to the classical setting of reproducing Hilbert spaces and then relate our result to equivalence of Hermitian vector bundles.
Operators which respect norm intervals
Podal subspaces on the unit polydisk
Beurling's classical theorem gives a complete characterization of all invariant subspaces in the Hardy space H²(D). To generalize the theorem to higher dimensions, one is naturally led to determining the structure of each unitary equivalence (resp. similarity) class. This, in turn, requires finding podal (resp. s-podal) points in unitary (resp. similarity) orbits. In this note, we find that H-outer (resp. G-outer) functions play an important role in finding podal (resp. s-podal) points. By the methods...
Power factorization in Banach algebras with a bounded approximate identity
Power factorization in Banach modules over commutative radical Banach algebras.
Projective covers of finitely generated Banach modules and the structure of some Banach algebras.
The investigation of the structure of biprojective Banach algebras with non-trivial radical [3] forces the author to suppose that the idea of projective cover, which is important in Ring Theory, can be effectively applied to Banach algebras and modules. But, in fact, the structural results on biprojectivity can be easier obtained without projective covers, so there are no references to this matter in [3]. Projective covers of Banach modules are considered in the present article. Except some assertions...
Projective Hilbert A(D)-modules.
Projectivity and lifting of Hilbert module maps
In a recent paper, Carlson, Foiaş, Williams and the author proved that isometric Hilbert modules are projective in the category of Hilbert modules similar to contractive ones. In this paper, a simple proof, based on a strengthened lifting theorem, is given. The proof also applies to an equivalent theorem of Foiaş and Williams on similarity to a contraction of a certain 2 × 2 operator matrix.
Quadratic functionals and Jordan *-derivations
Quadratic functionals on modules over complex Banach *-algebras with an approximate identity
The problem of representability of quadratic functionals by sesquilinear forms is studied in this article in the setting of a module over an algebra that belongs to a certain class of complex Banach *-algebras with an approximate identity. That class includes C*-algebras as well as H*-algebras and their trace classes. Each quadratic functional acting on such a module can be represented by a unique sesquilinear form. That form generally takes values in a larger algebra than the given quadratic functional...
Quasi-invariant subspaces generated by polynomials with nonzero leading terms
We introduce a partial order relation in the Fock space. Applying it we show that for the quasi-invariant subspace [p] generated by a polynomial p with nonzero leading term, a quasi-invariant subspace M is similar to [p] if and only if there exists a polynomial q with the same leading term as p such that M = [q].
Quasi-multipliers of the algebra of approximable operators and its duals
Let A be the Banach algebra of approximable operators on an arbitrary Banach space X. For the spaces of all bilinear continuous quasi-multipliers of A resp. its dual A* resp. its bidual A**, concrete representations as spaces of operators are given.
