In this paper, we study the ranges of the Schwartz space $\mathcal {S}$ and its dual $\mathcal {S}'$ (space of tempered distributions) under the Bargmann transform. The characterization of these two ranges leads to interesting reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces whose reproducing kernels can be expressed, respectively, in terms of the Touchard polynomials and the hypergeometric functions. We investigate the main properties of some associated operators and introduce two generalized Bargmann transforms in this framework. This can be considered as a continuation of an interesting research path that Neretin started earlier in his book on Gaussian integral operators.

We give sufficient conditions for the essential spectrum of the Hermitian square of a class of Hankel operators on the Bergman space of the polydisc to contain intervals. We also compute the spectrum in case the symbol is a monomial.

McCullough and Trent generalize Beurling–Lax–Halmos invariant subspace theorem for the shift on Hardy space of the unit disk to the multi-shift on Drury–Arveson space of the unit ball by representing an invariant subspace of the multi-shift as the range of a multiplication operator that is a partial isometry. By using their method, we obtain similar representations for a class of invariant subspaces of the multi-shifts on Hardy and Bergman spaces of the unit ball or polydisk. Our results are surprisingly general and include several important classes of invariant subspaces on the unit ball or polydisk.

In this paper, we study the embedding problem of an operator into a strongly continous semigroup. We obtain characterizations for some classes of operators, namely composition operators and analytic Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space $H^2$. In particular, we focus on the isometric ones using the necessary and sufficient condition observed by T. Eisner.

This article describes Hilbert spaces contractively contained in certain reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of analytic functions on the open unit disc which are nearly invariant under division by an inner function. We extend Hitt’s theorem on nearly invariant subspaces of the backward shift operator on $H^2(\mathbb {D})$ as well as its many generalizations to the setting of de Branges spaces.

We characterize the compact elements and the hypocompact radical of a crossed product $C_0(X)\times _\phi \mathbb Z$, where X is a locally compact metrizable space and $\phi :X\rightarrow X$ is a homeomorphism, in terms of the corresponding dynamical system $(X,\phi )$.

We study the many-body localization (MBL) properties of the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$\frac 12$ chain in a random magnetic field. We prove that the system exhibits localization in any given energy interval at the bottom of the spectrum in a nontrivial region of the parameter space. This region, which includes weak interaction and strong disorder regimes, is independent of the size of the system and depends only on the energy interval. Our approach is based on the reformulation of the localization problem as an expression of quasi-locality for functions of the random many-body XXZ Hamiltonian. This allows us to extend the fractional moment method for proving localization, previously derived in a single-particle localization context, to the many-body setting.

Our primary result concerns the positivity of specific kernels constructed using the q-ultraspherical polynomials. In other words, it concerns a two-parameter family of bivariate, compactly supported distributions. Moreover, this family has a property that all its conditional moments are polynomials in the conditioning random variable. The significance of this result is evident for individuals working on distribution theory, orthogonal polynomials, q-series theory, and the so-called quantum polynomials. Therefore, it may have a limited number of interested researchers. That is why, we put our results into a broader context. We recall the theory of Hilbert–Schmidt operators and the idea of Lancaster expansions (LEs) of the bivariate distributions absolutely continuous with respect to the product of their marginal distributions. Applications of LE can be found in Mathematical Statistics or the creation of Markov processes with polynomial conditional moments (the most well-known of these processes is the famous Wiener process).

Let µ be a finite positive Borelmeasure on $[0,1)$ and $\alpha \gt -1$. The generalized integral operator of Hilbert type $\mathcal {I}_{\mu_{\alpha+1}}$ is defined on the spaces $H(\mathbb{D})$ of analytic functions in the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ as follows:

\begin{equation*}\mathcal {I}_{\mu_{\alpha+1}}(f)(z)=\int_{0}^{1} \frac{f(t)}{(1-tz)^{\alpha+1}}d\mu(t),\ \ f\in H(\mathbb{D}),\ \ z\in \mathbb{D} .\end{equation*}

In this paper, we give a unified characterization of the measures µ for which the operator $\mathcal {I}_{\mu_{\alpha+1}}$ is bounded from the Bloch space to a Bergman space for all $\alpha \gt -1$. Additionally, we also investigate the action of $\mathcal {I}_{\mu_{\alpha+1}}$ from the Bloch space to the Hardy spaces and the Besov spaces.

In this paper, we will show the Carleson measure characterizations for the boundedness and compactness of the Cesàro-type operator

\begin{equation*}\mathcal{C}_{\mu}(f)(z)=\sum^{\infty}_{n=0}\left( \int_{[0,1)}t^nd\mu(t)\right) \left(\sum^{n}_{k=0}a_k \right)z^n, \quad z\in \mathbb{D},\end{equation*}

acting on a number of important analytic function spaces on $\mathbb{D}$, where µ is a positive finite Borel measure. The function spaces are some newly appeared analytic function spaces (e.g., Bergman–Morrey spaces $A^{p,\lambda}$ and Dirichlet–Morrey spaces $\mathcal{D}_p^{\lambda}$) . This work continues the lines of the previous characterizations by Blasco and Galanopoulos et al. for classical Hardy spaces and weighted Bergman spaces and so forth.

For commuting contractions $T_1,\dots,T_n$ acting on a Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}$ with $T=\prod_{i=1}^n T_i$, we find a necessary and sufficient condition such that $(T_1,\dots,T_n)$ dilates to a commuting tuple of isometries $(V_1,\dots,V_n)$ on the minimal isometric dilation space of T with $V=\prod_{i=1}^nV_i$ being the minimal isometric dilation of T. This isometric dilation provides a commutant lifting of $(T_1, \dots, T_n)$ on the minimal isometric dilation space of T. We construct both Schäffer and Sz. Nagy–Foias-type isometric dilations for $(T_1,\dots,T_n)$ on the minimal dilation spaces of T. Also, a different dilation is constructed when the product T is a $C._0$ contraction, that is, ${T^*}^n \rightarrow 0$ as $n \rightarrow \infty$. As a consequence of these dilation theorems, we obtain different functional models for $(T_1,\dots,T_n)$ in terms of multiplication operators on vectorial Hardy spaces. One notable fact about our models is that the multipliers are all analytic functions in one variable. The dilation when T is a $C._0$ contraction leads to a conditional factorization of T. Several examples have been constructed.

We present a new proof of the compactness of bilinear paraproducts with CMO symbols. By drawing an analogy to compact linear operators, we first explore further properties of compact bilinear operators on Banach spaces and present examples. We then prove compactness of bilinear paraproducts with CMO symbols by combining one of the properties of compact bilinear operators thus obtained with vanishing Carleson measure estimates and interpolation of bilinear compactness.

We consider continuous ${\mathrm {SL}}(2,{\mathbb R})$ valued cocycles over general dynamical systems and discuss a variety of uniformity notions. In particular, we provide a description of uniform one-parameter families of continuous ${\mathrm {SL}}(2,{\mathbb R})$ cocycles as $G_\delta $-sets. These results are then applied to Schrödinger operators with dynamically defined potentials. In the case where the base dynamics is given by a subshift satisfying the Boshernitzan condition, we show that for a generic continuous sampling function, the associated Schrödinger cocycles are uniform for all energies and, in the aperiodic case, the spectrum is a Cantor set of zero Lebesgue measure.

We develop a new method suitable for establishing lower bounds on the ball measure of noncompactness of operators acting between considerably general quasinormed function spaces. This new method removes some of the restrictions oft-presented in the previous work. Most notably, the target function space need not be disjointly superadditive nor equipped with a norm. Instead, a property that is far more often at our disposal is exploited—namely the absolute continuity of the target quasinorm.

We use this new method to prove that limiting Sobolev embeddings into spaces of Brezis–Wainger type are so-called maximally noncompact, i.e. their ball measure of noncompactness is the worst possible.

We study Toeplitz operators on the space of all real analytic functions on the real line and the space of all holomorphic functions on finitely connected domains in the complex plane. In both cases, we show that the space of all Toeplitz operators is isomorphic, when equipped with the topology of uniform convergence on bounded sets, with the symbol algebra. This is surprising in view of our previous results, since we showed that the symbol map is not continuous in this topology on the algebra generated by all Toeplitz operators. We also show that in the case of the Fréchet space of all holomorphic functions on a finitely connected domain in the complex plane, the commutator ideal is dense in the algebra generated by all Toeplitz operators in the topology of uniform convergence on bounded sets.

The spectrum and orthogonal eigenbasis are computed of a tridiagonal matrix encoding a finite-dimensional reduction of the difference Lamé equation at the single-gap integral value of the coupling parameter. This entails the exact solution, in terms of single-gap difference Lamé wave functions, for the spectral problem of a corresponding open inhomogeneous isotropic $XY$ chain with coupling constants built from elliptic integers.

The article introduces and studies Hausdorff–Berezin operators on the unit ball in a complex space. These operators are a natural generalization of the Berezin transform. In addition, the class of such operators contains, for example, the invariant Green potential, and some other operators of complex analysis. Sufficient and necessary conditions for boundedness in the space of p – integrable functions with Haar measure (invariant with respect to involutive automorphisms of the unit ball) are given. We also provide results on compactness of Hausdorff–Berezin operators in Lebesgue spaces on the unit ball. Such operators have previously been introduced and studied in the context of the unit disc in the complex plane. Present work is a natural continuation of these studies.

We study the $L^p$-boundedness of the Berezin transform on the generalised Hartogs triangles which are defined by

$$ \begin{align*}H_k:=\{(z, w)\in\mathbb C^n\times\mathbb C: |z_1|^2+\cdots+|z_n|^2<|w|^{2k}<1\},\end{align*} $$

where $z=(z_1, \ldots , z_n)$ and $k\in \mathbb N$. We prove that the Berezin transform is bounded on $L^p(H_k)$ if and only if $p>nk+1$.

Motivated by new examples of functional Banach spaces over the unit disk, arising as the symbol spaces in the study of random analytic functions, for which the monomials $\{z^n\}_{n\geq 0}$ exhibit features of an unconditional basis yet they often don’t even form a Schauder basis, we introduce a notion called solid basis for Banach spaces and p-Banach spaces and study its properties. Besides justifying the rich existence of solid bases, we study their relationship with unconditional bases, the weak-star convergence of Taylor polynomials, the problem of a solid span and the curious roles played by c0. The two features of this work are as follows: (1) during the process, we are led to revisit the axioms satisfied by a typical Banach space of analytic functions over the unit disk, leading to a notion of $\mathcal{X}^\mathrm{max}$ (and $\mathcal{X}^\mathrm{min}$), as well as a number of related functorial constructions, which are of independent interests; (2) the main interests of solid basis lie in the case of non-separable (p-)Banach spaces, such as BMOA and the Bloch space instead of VMOA and the little Bloch space.

The aim of this paper is to prove a qualitative property, namely the preservation of positivity, for Schrödinger-type operators acting on $L^p$ functions defined on (possibly incomplete) Riemannian manifolds. A key assumption is a control of the behaviour of the potential of the operator near the Cauchy boundary of the manifolds. As a by-product, we establish the essential self-adjointness of such operators, as well as its generalization to the case $p\neq 2$, i.e. the fact that smooth compactly supported functions are an operator core for the Schrödinger operator in $L^p$.
