The excess of a sequence in a Hilbert space H is the greatest number of elements that can be removed yet leave a set with the same closed span. This paper proves that if F is a frame for H and there exist infinitely many elements gn ∈ F such that F \ {gn} is complete for each individual n and if there is a uniform lower frame bound L for each frame F \ {gn}, then for each ε > 0 there exists an ...

In this paper, we focus on the structured multi-frame vectors in Hilbert $C^*$-modules. More precisely, it will be shown that the set of all complete multi-frame vectors for a unitary system can be parameterized by the set of all surjective operators, in the local commutant. Similar results hold for the set of all complete wandering vectors and complete multi-Riesz vectors, when the surjective ...

It is shown that some familiar properties of epimorphisms in the category of frames cary over to the category of uniform frames. This is achieved by suitably enriching certain frame homomorphisms to uniform frame homomorphisms. This note deals with the natural question, apparently never considered so far, whether certain familiar facts concerning epimorphisms, and specifically epi-extensions, o...

A bijective correspondence between strong inclusions and compactifications in the setting of σ-frames is presented. The category of uniform σ-frames is defined and a description of the Samuel compactification is given. It is shown that the Samuel compactification of a uniform frame is completely determined by the σ-frame consisting of its uniform cozero part, and consequently, any compactificat...
