The Kadison-singer Problem in Mathematics and Engineering: a Detailed Account

چکیده
We will show that the famous, intractible 1959 Kadison-Singer problem in C∗-algebras is equivalent to fundamental unsolved problems in a dozen areas of research in pure mathematics, applied mathematics and Engineering. This gives all these areas common ground on which to interact as well as explaining why each of these areas has volumes of literature on their respective problems without a satisfactory resolution. In each of these areas we will reduce the problem to the minimum which needs to be proved to solve their version of Kadison-Singer. In some areas we will prove what we believe will be the strongest results ever available in the case that Kadison-Singer fails. Finally, we will give some directions for constructing a counter-example to Kadison-Singer.

The Kadison-Singer problem in mathematics and engineering.
We will see that the famous intractible 1959 Kadison-Singer Problem in C*-algebras is equivalent to fundamental open problems in a dozen different areas of research in mathematics and engineering. This work gives all these areas common ground on which to interact as well as explaining why each area has volumes of literature on their respective problems without a satisfactory resolution.
متن کاملConsequences of the Marcus/spielman/srivastava Solution of the Kadison-singer Problem
It is known that the famous, intractible 1959 Kadison-Singer problem in C∗-algebras is equivalent to fundamental unsolved problems in a dozen areas of research in pure mathematics, applied mathematics and Engineering. The recent surprising solution to this problem by Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava was a significant achievement and a significant advance for all these areas of research. We will ...
متن کاملRamanujan Graphs and the Solution of the Kadison–Singer Problem
We survey the techniques used in our recent resolution of the Kadison– Singer problem and proof of existence of Ramanujan Graphs of every degree: mixed characteristic polynomials and the method of interlacing families of polynomials. To demonstrate the method of interlacing families of polynomials, we give a simple proof of Bourgain and Tzafriri’s restricted invertibility principle in the isotr...
متن کاملFrames and the Kadison-singer Problem: a Report for Aim
This is an introduction to the problems connecting frame theory and the Kadison-Singer Problem. 1. Overview For an extensive introduction to the aspects of frame theory needed for an understanding of the Kadison-Singer Problem we refer to the survey paper [3], which is posted in this section of the web page “The Kadison-Singer Problem”. In the following section we will just give the basic defin...
متن کاملKadison–singer from Mathematical Physics: an Introduction
We give an informal overview of the Kadison–Singer extension problem with emphasis on its initial connections to Dirac’s formulation of quantum mechanics. Let H be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, and B (H) the algebra of all bounded operators in H. In the language of operator algebras, the Kadison–Singer problem asks whether or not for a given MASA D in B (H), every pure state ...
