We characterize Riesz frames and frames with the subframe property and use this to answer most of the questions from the literature concerning these properties and their relationships to the projection methods etc.
We consider frames in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space Hn where frames are exactly the spanning sets of the vector space. We present a method to determine the maximum robustness of a frame. We present results on tight subframes and surgery of frames. We also answer the question of when length surgery resulting in a tight frame set for Hn is possible.
We characterize Hilbert spaces in the class of all Banach spaces using Fourier transform of vector-valued functions over the field $Q_p$ of $p$-adic numbers. Precisely, Banach space $X$ is isomorphic to a Hilbert one if and only if Fourier transform $F: L_2(Q_p,X)\to L_2(Q_p,X)$ in space of functions, which are square-integrable in Bochner sense and take value in $X$, is a bounded operator.
We study closedness of the range, adjointability and generalized invertibility of modular operators between Hilbert modules over locally C*-algebras of coefficients. Our investigations and the recent results of M. Frank [Characterizing C*-algebras of compact operators by generic categorical properties of Hilbert C*-modules, {\it J. K-Theory} {\bf 2} (2008), 453-462] reveal a number of equivalence properties of the category of Hilbert modules over locally C*-algebras which characterize precisely the inverse limit of C*-algebras of the C*-algebra of compact operators.
Redundancy is the qualitative property which makes Hilbert space frames so useful in practice. However, developing a meaningful quantitative notion of redundancy for infinite frames has proven elusive. Though quantitative candidates for redundancy exist, the main open problem is whether a frame with redundancy greater than one contains a subframe with redundancy arbitrarily close to one. We will answer this question in the affirmative for $\ell^1$-localized frames. We then specialize our results to Gabor multi-frames with generators in $M^1(\R^d)$, and Gabor molecules with envelopes in $W(C,l^…
In this note we prove that if two Riesz-Fischer sequences in a separable Hilbert space $H$ are biorthogonal and one of them is complete in $H$, then both sequences are Riesz bases for $H$. This complements a recent result by D. T. Stoeva where the same conclusion holds if one replaces the phrase ``Riesz-Fischer sequences'' by ``Bessel sequences''.
This note concerns a further study about Riesz-Fischer maps, already introduced by the author in a recent work, that is a notion that extends to the spaces of distributions the sequences that are known as Riesz-Fischer sequences. In particular it is proved a characterizing inequality that have as consequence the existence of the continuous inverse of the synthesis operator.
In 1997, Bauschke, Borwein, and Lewis have stated a trichotomy theorem that characterizes when the convergence of the method of alternating projections can be arbitrarily slow. However, there are two errors in their proof of this theorem. In this note, we show that although one of the errors is critical, the theorem itself is correct. We give a different proof that uses the multiplicative form of the spectral theorem, and the theorem holds in any real or complex Hilbert space, not just in a real Hilbert space.
The decomposition into interaction subspaces is an important result for graphical models and plays a central role for results on the linearized marginal problem; similarly the Chaos decomposition plays an important role in statistical physics at the thermodynamic limit and in probability theory in general. We unify and extend both constructions by defining and characterizing decomposable functors from a well-founded poset to the category of Hilbert spaces, completing previous work on decomposable collections of vector subspaces and presheaves.
If $g$ is an analytic function in the unit disc $\D $ we consider the generalized Hilbert operator $\hg$ defined by {equation*}\label{H-g} \mathcal{H}_g(f)(z)=\int_0^1f(t)g'(tz)\,dt. {equation*} We study these operators acting on classical spaces of analytic functions in $\D $. More precisely, we address the question of characterizing the functions $g$ for which the operator $\hg $ is bounded (compact) on the Hardy spaces $H^p$, on the weighted Bergman spaces $A^p_α$ or on the spaces of Dirichlet type $\mathcal D^p_α$.
A subset of a convex body $B$ containing the origin in a Euclidean space is {\it parkable in $B$} if it can be translated inside $B$ in such a manner that the translate the origin. We provide characterizations of ellipsoids and of centrally symmetric convex bodies in Euclidean spaces of dimension $\ge 3$ based on the notion of parkability, answering several questions posed by G. Bergman. The techniques used, which are based on characterizations of Hilbert spaces among finite-dimensional Banach spaces in terms of their lattices of subspaces and algebras of endomorphisms, also apply to improve a…
Contractive selfadjoint extensions of a Hermitian contraction $B$ in a Hilbert space ${\mathfrak H}$ with an exit in some larger Hilbert space ${\mathfrak H}\oplus{\mathcal H}$ are investigated. This leads to a new geometric approach for characterizing analytic properties of holomorphic operator-valued functions of Kreĭn-Ovcharenko type, a class of functions whose study has been recently initiated by the authors. Compressed resolvents of such exit space extensions are also investigated leading to some new connections to transfer functions of passive discrete-time systems and related classes of…
In this article we introduce the notion of $J$-fusion frame for a Krein space $\mathbb{K}$. We relate this new concept with fusion frames for Hilbert spaces and also with $J$-frames for Krein spaces. We also approximate $J$-fusion frame bounds of a $J$-fusion frame by the upper and lower bounds of the synthesis operator. Finally we address the problem of characterizing those bounded linear operators in $\mathbb{K}$ for which the image of $J$-fusion frame is also a $J$-fusion frame.
We present a Hilbert space geometric approach to the problem of characterizing the positive bivariate trigonometric polynomials that can be represented as the square of a two variable polynomial possessing a certain stability requirement, namely no zeros on a face of the bidisk. Two different characterizations are given using a Hilbert space structure naturally associated to the trigonometric polynomial; one is in terms of a certain orthogonal decomposition the Hilbert space must possess called the "split-shift orthogonality condition" and another is an operator theoretic or matrix condition c…
Consider three normal operators $A,B,C$ on separable Hilbert space $\H$ as well as scalar-valued spectral measures $λ_A$ on $σ(A)$, $λ_B$ on $σ(B)$ and $λ_C$ on $σ(C)$. For any $ϕ\in L^\infty(λ_A\times λ_B\times λ_C)$ and any $X,Y\in S^2(\H)$, the space of Hilbert-Schmidt operators on $\H$, we provide a general definition of a triple operator integral $Γ^{A,B,C}(ϕ)(X,Y)$ belonging to $S^2(\H)$ in such a way that $Γ^{A,B,C}(ϕ)$ belongs to the space $B_2(S^2(\H)\times S^2(\H), S^2(\H))$ of bounded bilinear operators on $S^2(\H)$, and the resulting mapping $Γ^{A,B,C}\colon L^\infty(λ_A\times λ_B\…
In a previous paper we showed how the main theorems characterizing operator algebras and operator modules, fit neatly into the framework of the `noncommutative Shilov boundary', and more particularly via the left multiplier operator algebra of an operator space. As well as giving new characterization theorems, the approach of that paper allowed many of the hypotheses of the earlier theorems to be eliminated. Recent progress of the author with Effros and Zarikian now enables weak*-versions of these characterization theorems. For example, we prove a result analogous to Sakai's famous characteriz…
In this paper we discuss how to define an appropriate notion of weak topology in the Wasserstein space $(\mathcal{P}_2(H),W_2)$ of Borel probability measures with finite quadratic moment on a separable Hilbert space $H$. We will show that such a topology inherits many features of the usual weak topology in Hilbert spaces, in particular the weak closedness of geodesically convex closed sets and the Opial property characterizing weakly convergent sequences. We apply this notion to the approximation of fixed points for a non-expansive map in a weakly closed subset of $\mathcal{P}_2(H)$ and of min…
