A quadratic operator Q of Hilbert-Schmidt class on a real separable Hilbert space H is shown to be uniquely representable as a sequence of self-adjoint linear operators of Hilbert-Schmidt class on H, such that Q(x) = Σk〈Lkx, x〉uk with respect to a Hilbert basis . It is shown that with the norm | ‖Q‖ | = (Σk ‖Lk‖2)½ and inner-product 〈〈〈Q, P〉〉〉 = Σk 〈〈Lk, Mk〉〉, together with a multiplication defined componentwise through the composition of the linear components, the vector space of all Hilbert-Schmidt quadratic operators Q on H becomes a linear H*-algebra containing an ideal of nuclear (trace class) quadratic operators. In the finite dimensional case, each Q is also shown to have another representation as a block-diagonal matrix of Hilbert-Schmidt class which simplifies the practical computation and manipulation of quadratic operators.

Abstract In this paper we give a simple sequence of necessary and sufficient finite dimensional conditions for a positive map between certain subspaces of bounded linear operators on separable Hilbert spaces to be completely positive. These criterions are natural generalization of Choi’s characterization for completely positive maps between pairs of linear operators on finite dimensional Hilbert spaces. We apply our conditions to a completely positive map between two trace class operators on separable Hilbert spaces. A completely positive map μ is called a quantum channel, if it is trace preserving, and μ is called a quantum subchannel if it decreases the trace of a positive operator.We give simple neccesary and sufficient condtions for μ to be a quantum subchannel.We show that μ is a quantum subchannel if and only if it hasHellwig-Kraus representation. The last result extends the classical results of Kraus and the recent result of Holevo for characterization of a quantum channel.

In this paper we represent certain linear operators in a space with indefinite metric. Such a space may be a pair (H, B), where H is a separable Hilbert space, B is a bilinear functional on H given by B(x, y) = [Jx, y], [, ] is the Hilbert inner product in H, and J is a bounded linear operator such that J = J* and J2 = I. If T is a linear operator in H, then ‖T‖ is the usual operator norm. The operator J above has two eigenspaces corresponding to the eigenvalues + 1 and –1.In case the eigenspace in which J induces a positive operator has finite dimension k, a general spectral theory is known and has been developed principally by Pontrjagin [25], Iohvidov and Kreĭn [13], Naĭmark [20], and others.

Let H denote a separable, infinite dimensional Hilbert space. Let B(H), C2 and C1 denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators acting on H, the Hilbert–Schmidt class and the trace class in B(H) respectively. It is well known that C2 and C1 each form a two-sided-ideal in B(H) and C2 is itself a Hilbert space with the inner productwhere {ei} is any orthonormal basis of H and tr(.) is the natural trace on C1. The Hilbert–Schmidt norm of X ∈ C2 is given by ⅡXⅡ2=(X, X)½.

The notion of the joint numerical range of several linear operators with respect to a sesquilinear form is introduced. Geometrical properties of the joint numerical range are studied, in particular, convexity and angle points, in connection with the algebraic properties of the operators. The main focus is on the finite dimensional case.

AbstractIn this paper, we obtain some characterizations of the (strong) Birkhoff–James orthogonality for elements of Hilbert C*-modules and certain elements of . Moreover, we obtain a kind of Pythagorean relation for bounded linear operators. In addition, for we prove that if the norm attaining set is a unit sphere of some finite dimensional subspace of and , then for every , T is the strong Birkhoff–James orthogonal to S if and only if there exists a unit vector such that . Finally, we introduce a new type of approximate orthogonality and investigate this notion in the setting of inner product C*-modules.

Let B(H) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a separable, infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space H. Let C2 and C1 denote respectively, the Hilbert–Schmidt class and the trace class operators in B(H). It is known that C2 and C1 are two-sided*-ideals in B(H) and C2 is a Hilbert space with respect to the inner product(where tr denotes the trace). For any Hilbert–Schmidt operator X let ∥X∥2=(X, X)½ be the Hilbert-Schmidt norm of X.For fixed A ∈ B(H) let δA be the operator on B(H) defined byOperators of the form (1) are called inner derivations and they (as well as their restrictions have been extensively studied (for example [1–3]). In [1], Fuad Kittaneh proved the following result.

SynopsisWe extend the notion of order of singularity for complex-valued functions, as originally set forth by Hadamard, to Banach algebra-valued functions. Restricting our attention to linear operators whose spectral radius is one, we obtain a connection between the rate of growth of the norm of iterates of a linear operator and the rate of growth of the norm of the resolvent of the operator near the spectrum of the operator. In the finite dimensional case, we obtain an upper bound on the size of the Jordan block corresponding to an eigenvalue of maximum modulus.

A bounded linear operator T on a Hilbert space ℋ is trace class if its singular values are summable. The trace class operators on ℋ form an operator ideal and in the case that ℋ is finite-dimensional, the trace tr(T) of T is given by ∑jajj for any matrix representation {aij} of T. In applications of trace class operators to scattering theory and representation theory, the subject is complicated by the fact that if k is an integral kernel of the operator T on the Hilbert space L2(μ) with μ a σ-finite measure, then k(x,x) may not be defined, because the diagonal {(x,x)} may be a set of (μ⊗μ)-measure zero. The present note describes a class of linear operators acting on a Banach function space X which forms a lattice ideal of operators on X, rather than an operator ideal, but coincides with the collection of hermitian positive trace class operators in the case of X=L2(μ).

The purpose of this paper is to answer the question: which self-adjoint operators on a separable Hilbert space are the real parts of quasi-nilpotent operators? In the finite-dimensional case the answer is: self-adjoint operators with trace zero. In the infinite dimensional case, we show that a self-adjoint operator is the real part of a quasi-nilpotent operator if and only if the convex hull of its essential spectrum contains zero. We begin by considering the finite dimensional case.
