Jordan blocks and strong irreducibility
نویسندگان
چکیده
An operator is said to be strongly irreducible if its commutant has no nontrivial idempotent. This paper first shows that if an operator is not strongly irreducible then the set of idempotents in its commutant is either finite or uncountable. The second part of the paper focuses on the Jordan block which is a well-known class of irreducible operators, and determines when a Jordan block is strongly irreducible. This work is an interplay of operator theory and complex function theory.

Introduction: Obesity is a worldwide health concern, which has been on an alarming trend in Jordan. Obesity leads to several chronic disorders and adversely affects the figure. Furthermore, it is considered to be a severe health threat during adolescence and early adulthood. People in Jordan tend to consume the foods that are rapidly prepared, and such dietary habits are referr...
متن کاملParity Condition for Irreducibility of Heegaard Splittings
Casson and Gordon gave the rectangle condition for strong irreducibility of Heegaard splittings [1]. We give a parity condition for irreducibility of Heegaard splittings of irreducible manifolds. As an application, we give examples of non-stabilized Heegaard splittings by doing a single Dehn twist.
متن کاملIrreducibility of the tensor product of Albeverio's representations of the Braid groups $B_3$ and $B_4$
We consider Albeverio's linear representations of the braid groups $B_3$ and $B_4$. We specialize the indeterminates used in defining these representations to non zero complex numbers. We then consider the tensor products of the representations of $B_3$ and the tensor products of those of $B_4$. We then determine necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee the irreducibility of th...

Casson and Gordon gave the rectangle condition for strong irreducibility of Heegaard splittings [1]. We give a weak version of rectangle condition for irreducibility of Heegaard splittings. As an application, we give an example of an irreducible genus three Heegaard splitting of a 3-manifold which is not a minimal genus Heegaard splitting.
متن کاملEla on the Irreducibility, Self-duality, and Non-homogeneity of Completely Positive Cones
For a closed cone C in R, the completely positive cone of C is the convex cone KC in S generated by {uu : u ∈ C}. Such a cone arises, for example, in the conic LP reformulation of a nonconvex quadratic minimization problem over an arbitrary set with linear and binary constraints. Motivated by the useful and desirable properties of the nonnegative orthant and the positive semidefinite cone (and ...
