The Horn Conjecture for Sums of Compact Selfadjoint Operators

چکیده

We determine the possible nonzero eigenvalues of compact selfadjoint operators A, B(1), B(2), . . ., B(m) with the property that A = B(1) +B(2) +· · ·+B(m). When all these operators are positive, the eigenvalues were known to be subject to certain inequalities which extend Horn’s inequalities from the finite-dimensional case when m = 2. We find the proper extension of the Horn inequalities and show that they, along with their reverse analogues, provide a complete characterization. Our results also allow us to discuss the more general situation where only some of the eigenvalues of the operators A and B(k) are specified. A special case is the requirement that B(1) + B(2) + · · · + B(k) be positive of rank at most ρ ≥ 1.

Spectral inequalities for non-selfadjoint elliptic operators and application to the null-controllability of parabolic systems

We consider elliptic operators A on a bounded domain, that are compact perturbations of a selfadjoint operator. We first recall some spectral properties of such operators: localization of the spectrum and resolvent estimates. We then derive a spectral inequality that measures the norm of finite sums of root vectors of A through an observation, with an exponential cost. Following the strategy of...

$L^p$-Conjecture on Hypergroups

In this paper, we study $L^p$-conjecture on locally compact hypergroups and by some technical proofs we give some sufficient and necessary conditions  for a weighted Lebesgue space  $L^p(K,w)$ to be a convolution Banach algebra, where $1<p<infty$, $K$ is a locally compact hypergroup and $w$ is a weight function on $K$.  Among the other things, we also show that if $K$ is a locally compact hyper...

A new topology on the space of unbounded selfadjoint operators and the spectral flow

We define a new topology, weaker than the gap topology, on the space of selfadjoint unbounded operators on a separable Hilbert space. We show that the subspace of selfadjoint Fredholm operators represents the functor K from the category of compact spaces to the category of abelian groups and prove a similar result for K. We define the spectral flow of a continuous path of selfadjoint Fredholm o...
