Complex symmetric operators and applications II

Complex Symmetric Operators and Applications Ii

A bounded linear operator T on a complex Hilbert space H is called complex symmetric if T = CT ∗C, where C is a conjugation (an isometric, antilinear involution of H). We prove that T = CJ |T |, where J is an auxiliary conjugation commuting with |T | = √ T ∗T . We consider numerous examples, including the Poincaré-Neumann singular integral (bounded) operator and the Jordan model operator (compr...

Complex Symmetric Operators and Applications

We study a few classes of Hilbert space operators whose matrix representations are complex symmetric with respect to a preferred orthonormal basis. The existence of this additional symmetry has notable implications and, in particular, it explains from a unifying point of view some classical results. We explore applications of this symmetry to Jordan canonical models, selfadjoint extensions of s...

Mathematical and physical aspects of complex symmetric operators

Recent advances in the theory of complex symmetric operators are presented and related to current studies in non-hermitian quantum mechanics. The main themes of the survey are: the structure of complex symmetric operators, C-selfadjoint extensions of C-symmetric unbounded operators, resolvent estimates, reality of spectrum, bases of C-orthonormal vectors, and conjugatelinear symmetric operators...

Review: A C*-algebra approach to complex symmetric operators

Invariant Differential Operators for Quantum Symmetric Spaces, II

The two papers in this series analyze quantum invariant differential operators for quantum symmetric spaces in the maximally split case. In this paper, we complete the proof of a quantum version of Harish-Chandra’s theorem: There is a Harish-Chandra map which induces an isomorphism between the ring of quantum invariant differential operators and a ring of Laurent polynomial invariants with resp...
