Extension of linear operators and Lipschitz maps into -spaces.
It is proved that every operator from a weak*-closed subspace of into a space C(K) of continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space K can be extended to an operator from to C(K).
A space of boundary values is constructed for the minimal symmetric operator generated by an infinite Jacobi matrix in the limit-circle case. A description of all maximal dissipative, accretive and selfadjoint extensions of such a symmetric operator is given in terms of boundary conditions at infinity. We construct a selfadjoint dilation of maximal dissipative operator and its incoming and outgoing spectral representations, which makes it possible to determine the scattering matrix of dilation....
Given a symmetric linear transformation on a Hilbert space, a natural problem to consider is the characterization of its set of symmetric extensions. This problem is equivalent to the study of the partial isometric extensions of a fixed partial isometry. We provide a new function theoretic characterization of the set of all self-adjoint extensions of any symmetric linear transformation B with finite equal indices and inner Livšic characteristic function θB by constructing a bijection between the...
Let T be a bounded operator on an infinite-dimensional Banach space X and Ω a compact subset of the semi-Fredholm domain of T. We construct a finite rank perturbation F such that min[dim N(T+F-λ), codim R(T+F-λ)] = 0 for all λ ∈ Ω, and which is extremal in the sense that F² = 0 and rank F = max{min[dim N(T-λ), codim R(T-λ)] : λ ∈ Ω.
We characterize all the extreme points of the unit ball in the space of trilinear forms on the Hilbert space . This answers a question posed by R. Grząślewicz and K. John [7], who solved the corresponding problem for the real Hilbert space . As an application we determine the best constant in the inequality between the Hilbert-Schmidt norm and the norm of trilinear forms.
A Banach space X is said to be an extremely non-complex space if the norm equality ∥Id +T 2∥ = 1+∥T 2∥ holds for every bounded linear operator T on X. We show that every extremely non-complex Banach space has positive numerical index, it does not have an unconditional basis and that the infimum of diameters of the slices of its unit ball is positive.
