We prove a conjecture of Wojtaszczyk that for $1\leq p<\infty$, $p\neq 2$, $H_p(\mathbbT)$ does not admit any norm one projections with dimension of the range finite and bigger than 1. This implies in particular that for $1\leq p<\infty$, $p\ne 2$, $H_p$ does not admit a Schauder basis with constant one.
We state and discuss several interrelated results, conjectures, and questions regarding contractive inequalities for classical $H^p$ spaces of the unit disc. We study both coefficient estimates in terms of weighted $\ell^2$ sums and the Riesz projection viewed as a map from $L^q$ to $H^p$ with $q\ge p$. Some numerical evidence is given that supports our conjectures.
It is shown how any contractive multiplier from the Hardy space to a weighted Hardy space $H^{2}_{\bbeta}$ can be factored as a fixed factor composed with the classical Schur multiplier (contractive multiplier between Hardy spaces). The result is applied to get results on interpolation for a Hardy-to-weighted-Hardy contractive multiplier class.
The optimal constants of the $m$-linear Bohnenblust-Hille and Hardy-Littlewood inequalities are still not known despite its importance in several fields of Mathematics. For the Bohnenblust-Hille inequality and real scalars it is well-known that the optimal constants are not contractive. In this note, among other results, we show that if we consider sums over $M:=M(m)$ indexes with $M\log M=o(m)$, the optimal constants are contractive. For instance, we can consider% \[ M=\left\lfloor \frac{m}{\left( \log m\right) ^{1+\frac{1}{\log\log\log m}}% }\right\rfloor \] where $\lfloor x\rfloor:=\max\{n\…
Let $S_1$ and $S_2$ be disjoint finite unions of parallelepipeds. We describe necessary and sufficient conditions on the sets $S_1,S_2$ and exponents $p$ such that the canonical projection $P$ from $PW_{S_1\cup S_2}^p$ to $PW_{S_1}^p$ is a contraction.
We study Hardy spaces $H^p_ν$ of the conjugate Beltrami equation $\bar{\partial} f=ν\bar{\partial f}$ over Dini-smooth finitely connected domains, for real contractive $ν\in W^{1,r}$ with $r>2$, in the range $r/(r-1)<p<\infty$. We develop a theory of conjugate functions and apply it to solve Dirichlet and Neumann problems for the conductivity equation $\nabla.(σ\nabla u)=0$ where $σ=(1-ν)/(1+ν)$. In particular situations, we also consider some density properties of traces of solutions together with boundary approximation issues.
In this paper, we firstly character the structures of symmetries $J$ such that a projection $P$ is $J$-contractive. Then the minimal and maximal elements of the symmetries $J$ with $P^{\ast}JP\leqslant J$(or $JP\geqslant0)$ are given. Moreover, some formulas between $P_{(2I-P-P^{\ast})^{+}}$ $(P_{(2I-P-P^{\ast})^{-}})$ and $P_{(P+P^{\ast})^-}$ $(P_{(P+P^{\ast})^+})$ are established.
We characterize norm one complemented subspaces of Orlicz sequence spaces $\ell_M$ equipped with either Luxemburg or Orlicz norm, provided that the Orlicz function $M$ is sufficiently smooth and sufficiently different from the square function. This paper concentrates on the more difficult real case, the complex case follows from previously known results.
Given a JBW*-triple Z and a normal contractive projection P on Z, we show that the (Murray-von Neumann) type of each summand of P(Z) is dominated by the type of Z.
We characterize 1-complemented subspaces of finite codimension in strictly monotone one-$p$-convex, $2<p<\infty,$ sequence spaces. Next we describe, up to isometric isomorphism, all possible types of 1-unconditional structures in sequence spaces with few surjective isometries. We also give a new example of a class of real sequence spaces with few surjective isometries.
We study contractive projections, isometries, and real positive maps on algebras of operators on a Hilbert space. For example we find generalizations and variants of certain classical results on contractive projections on C*-algebras and JB-algebras due to Choi, Effros, Størmer, Friedman and Russo, and others. In fact most of our arguments generalize to contractive `real positive' projections on Jordan operator algebras, that is on a norm-closed space A of operators on a Hilbert space which are closedunder the Jordan product. We also prove many new general results on real positive maps which a…
We constructed a unitary semigroup $(e^{tA})_{t \geq 0}$ on a Hilbert space and an orthogonal projection $P$ such that the limit $\lim_{n \to \infty} [ e^{\frac{t}{n}A}P ]^n$ does not exist strongly. A similar example with a positive contractive semigroup and positive contractive projection on $L_p$ is also constructed.
Parallel to the study of finite dimensional Banach spaces, there is a growing interest in the corresponding local theory of operator spaces. We define a family of Hilbertian operator spaces H_n^k,0< k < n+1, generalizing the row and column Hilbert spaces R_n,C_n and show that an atomic subspace X of B(H) which is the range of a contractive projection on B(H) is isometrically completely contractive to a direct sum of the H_n^k and Cartan factors of types 1 to 4. In particular, for finite dimensional X, this answers a question posed by Oikhberg and Rosenthal. Explicit in the proof is a classific…
We consider 1-complemented subspaces (ranges of contractive projections) of vector-valued spaces $\ell_p(X)$, where $X$ is a Banach space with a 1-unconditional basis and $p \in (1,2)\cup (2,\infty)$. If the norm of $X$ is twice continuously differentiable and satisfies certain conditions connecting the norm and the notion of disjointness with respect to the basis, then we prove that every 1-complemented subspace of $\ell_p(X)$ admits a basis of mutually disjoint elements. Moreover, we show that every contractive projection is then an averaging operator. We apply our results to the space $\ell…
In 1965, Ron Douglas proved that if $X$ is a closed subspace of an $L^1$-space and $X$ is isometric to another $L^1$-space, then $X$ is the range of a contractive projection on the containing $L^1$-space. In 1977 Arazy-Friedman showed that if a subspace $X$ of $C_1$ is isometric to another $C_1$-space (possibly finite dimensional), then there is a contractive projection of $C_1$ onto $X$. In 1993 Kirchberg proved that if a subspace $X$ of the predual of a von Neumann algebra $M$ is isometric to the predual of another von Neumann algebra, then there is a contractive projection of the predual of…
The main goal of this paper is to find operator algebra variants of certain deep results of Stormer, Friedman and Russo, Choi and Effros, Effros and Stormer, Robertson and Youngson, Youngson, and others, concerning projections on C*-algebras and their ranges. (See papers of these authors referenced in the bibliography.) In particular we investigate the `bicontractive projection problem' and related questions in the category of operator algebras. To do this, we will add the ingredient of `real positivity' from recent papers of the first author with Read.
A contraction $T$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is said to be pure if the sequence $\lbrace T^{*n} \rbrace_{n}$ converges to $0$ in the strong operator topology. In this article, we prove that for contractions $T$, which commute with certain tractable tuples of commuting operators $X = (X_1,\ldots,X_n)$ on $\mathcal{H}$, the following statements are equivalent: (i) $T$ is a pure contraction on $\mathcal{H}$, (ii) the compression $P_{\mathcal{W}(X)}T|_{\mathcal{W}(X)}$ is a pure contraction, where $\mathcal{W}(X)$ is the wandering subspace corresponding to the tuple $X$. An operator-valued m…
For a singular probability measure $μ$ on the circle, we show the existence of positive matrices on the unit disc which admit a boundary representation on the unit circle with respect to $μ$. These positive matrices are constructed in several different ways using the Kaczmarz algorithm. Some of these positive matrices correspond to the projection of the Szegő kernel on the disc to certain subspaces of the Hardy space corresponding to the normalized Cauchy transform of $μ$. Other positive matrices are obtained which correspond to subspaces of the Hardy space after a renormalization, and so are …
We consider sharp inequalities for Bergman spaces of the unit disc, establishing analogues of the inequality in Carleman's proof of the isoperimetric inequality and of Weissler's inequality for dilations. By contractivity and a standard tensorization procedure, the unit disc inequalities yield corresponding inequalities for the Bergman spaces of Dirichlet series. We use these results to study weighted multiplicative Hankel forms associated with the Bergman spaces of Dirichlet series, reproducing most of the known results on multiplicative Hankel forms associated with the Hardy spaces of Dirich…
Products of Siegel upper half spaces are Siegel domains, whose Silov boundaries have the structure of products $\mathscr H_1\times\mathscr H_2$ of Heisenberg groups. By the reproducing formula of bi-parameter heat kernel associated to sub-Laplacians, we show that a function in holomorphic Hardy space $H^1$ on such a domain has boundary value belonging to bi-parameter Hardy space $ H^1 (\mathscr H_1\times \mathscr H_2)$. With the help of atomic decomposition of $ H^1 (\mathscr H_1\times \mathscr H_2)$ and bi-paramete rharmonic analysis, we show that the Cauchy-Szeg\H o projection is a bounded o…
The symmetrized bidisc has been a rich field of holomorphic function theory and operator theory. A certain well-known reproducing kernel Hilbert space of holomorphic functions on the symmetrized bidisc resembles the Hardy space of the unit disc in several aspects. This space is known as the Hardy space of the symmetrized bidisc. We introduce the study of those operators on the Hardy space of the symmetrized bidisc that are analogous to Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space of the unit disc. More explicitly, we first study multiplication operators on a bigger space (an $L^2$-space) and then stu…
We study the holomorphic tent spaces $\mathcal{HT}^p_{q,α}(\Bn)$, which are motivated by the area function description of the Hardy spaces on one hand, and the maximal function description of the Hardy spaces on the other. Characterizations for these spaces under general fractional differential operators are given. We describe the dual of $\mathcal{HT}^p_{q,α}(\Bn)$ for the full range $0<p,q<\infty$ and $α>-n-1$. Here the case $1<p<\infty$, $q\leq 1$ leads us to the Hardy-Bloch type spaces $\mathcal{BT}^{p}(\Bn)$ and $\mathcal{BT}^{p,0}(\Bn)$, the latter being the predual of $\mathcal{HT}^p_{1…
The full Fock space over $\mathbb C ^d$ can be identified with the free Hardy space, $H^2 (\mathbb B ^d _\mathbb N)$ - the unique non-commutative reproducing kernel Hilbert space corresponding to a non-commutative Szegö kernel on the non-commutative, multi-variable open unit ball $\mathbb B ^d _\mathbb N := \bigsqcup _{n=1} ^\infty \left( \mathbb C^{n\times n} \otimes \mathbb C ^d \right) _1$. Elements of this space are free or non-commutative functions on $\mathbb B ^d _\mathbb N$. Under this identification, the full Fock space is the canonical non-commutative and several-variable analogue of…
A basic result in semigroup theory states that every $C_0$-semigroup is quasi-contractive with respect to some appropriately chosen equivalent norm. This paper contains a counterpart of this well-known fact. Namely, by examining the convergence of the Trotter-type formula $(e^{\frac{t}{n}A}P)^n$ (where $P$ denotes a bounded projection), we prove that whenever the generator $A$ is unbounded it is possible to introduce an equivalent norm on the space with respect to which the semigroup is {\it{not}} quasi-contractive.
We prove two new equivalences of the Feichtinger conjecture that involve reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. We prove that if for every Hilbert space, contractively contained in the Hardy space, each Bessel sequence of normalized kernel functions can be partitioned into finitely many Riesz basic sequences, then a general bounded Bessel sequence in an arbitrary Hilbert space can be partitioned into finitely many Riesz basic sequences. In addition, we examine some of these spaces and prove that for these spaces bounded Bessel sequences of normalized kernel functions are finite unions of Riesz bas…
Let $H[X]$ and $H[Y]$ be abstract Hardy spaces built upon Banach function spaces $X$ and $Y$ over the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$. We prove an analogue of the Brown-Halmos theorem for Toeplitz operators $T_a$ acting from $H[X]$ to $H[Y]$ under the only assumption that the space $X$ is separable and the Riesz projection $P$ is bounded on the space $Y$. We specify our results to the case of variable Lebesgue spaces $X=L^{p(\cdot)}$ and $Y=L^{q(\cdot)}$ and to the case of Lorentz spaces $X=Y=L^{p,q}(w)$, $1<p<\infty$, $1\le q<\infty$ with Muckenhoupt weights $w\in A_p(\mathbb{T})$.
Some results on fixed points related to the contractive compositions of bounded operators in complete metric spaces are discussed through the manuscript. The class of composite operators under study can include, in particular, sequences of projection operators under, in general, oblique projective operators.
Motivated by Barr{\'ı}a-Halmos's \cite[Question 19]{barria1982asymptotic} and Halmos's \cite[Problem 237]{Halmos1978A}, we explore projections in Toeplitz algebra on the Hardy space. We show that the product of two Toeplitz (Hankel) operators is a projection if and only if it is the projection onto one of the invariant subspaces of the shift (backward shift) operator. As a consequence one obtains new proofs of criterion for Toeplitz operators and Hankel operators to be partial isometries. Furthermore, we completely characterize when the self-commutator of a Toeplitz operator is a projection. T…
In this paper we give sufficient conditions on $α\geq 0$ and $c\in \mathbb{R}$ ensuring that the space of test functions $C_c^\infty(\mathbb{R}^N)$ is a core for the operator $$L_0u=(1+|x|^α)Δu+\frac{c}{|x|^2}u=:Lu+\frac{c}{|x|^2}u,$$ and $L_0$ with suitable domain generates a quasi-contractive and positivity preserving $C_0$-semigroup in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^N),\,1<p<\infty$. The proofs are based on some $L^p$-weighted Hardy's inequality and perturbation techniques.
Let $Γ$ be a rectifiable Jordan curve, let $X$ and $Y$ be two reflexive Banach function spaces over $Γ$ such that the Cauchy singular integral operator $S$ is bounded on each of them, and let $M(X,Y)$ denote the space of pointwise multipliers from $X$ to $Y$. Consider the Riesz projection $P=(I+S)/2$, the corresponding Hardy type subspaces $PX$ and $PY$, and the Toeplitz operator $T(a):PX\to PY$ defined by $T(a)f=P(af)$ for a symbol $a\in M(X,Y)$. We show that if $X\hookrightarrow Y$ and $a\in M(X,Y)\setminus\{0\}$, then $T(a)\in\mathcal{L}(PX,PY)$ has a trivial kernel in $PX$ or a dense image…
In this paper we study spaces of holomorphic functions on the right half-plane $\cal R$, that we denote by $\cal M^p_ω$, whose growth conditions are given in terms of a translation invariant measure $ω$ on the closed half-plane $\overline\cal R$. Such a measure has the form $ω=ν\otimes m$, where $m$ is the Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb R$ and $ν$ is a regular Borel measure on $[0,+\infty)$. We call these spaces generalized Hardy-Bergman spaces on the half-plane $\cal R$. We study in particular the case of $ν$ purely atomic, with point masses on an arithmetic progression on $[0,+\infty)$. We obt…
For $b\in H^\infty_1$, the closed unit ball of $H^\infty$, the de Branges-Rovnyak spaces $\mathcal{H}(b)$ is a Hilbert space contractively contained in the Hardy space $H^2$ that is invariant by the backward shift operator $S^*$. We consider the reducing subspaces of the operator $S^{*2}|_{\mathcal{H}(b)}$. When $b$ is an inner function, $S^{*2}|_{\mathcal{H}(b)}$ is a truncated Toepltiz operator and its reducibility was characterized by Douglas and Foias using model theory. We use another approach to extend their result to the case where $b$ is extreme. We prove that if $b$ is extreme but not…

We study $H^p$ spaces of Dirichlet series, called $\mathcal{H}^p$, for the range $0<p< \infty$. We begin by showing that two natural ways to define $\mathcal{H}^p$ coincide. We then proceed to study some linear space properties of $\mathcal{H}^p$. More specifically, we study linear functionals generated by fractional primitives of the Riemann zeta function; our estimates rely on certain Hardy--Littlewood inequalities and display an interesting phenomenon, called contractive symmetry between $\mathcal{H}^p$ and $\mathcal{H}^{4/p}$, contrasting the usual $L^p$ duality. We next deduce general coe…
We introduce a noncommutative analogue of the absolute value of a regular operator acting on a noncommutative $\mathrm{L}^p$-space. We equally prove that two classical operator norms, the regular norm and the decomposable norm are identical. We also describe precisely the regular norm of several classes of regular multipliers. This includes Schur multipliers and Fourier multipliers on some unimodular locally compact groups which can be approximated by discrete groups in various senses. A main ingredient is to show the existence of a bounded projection from the space of completely bounded $\mat…
