IWOTA 2010 Book of Abstracts IWOTA 2010 July 12–16 Technische Universit¨atBerlin Book of Abstracts Some boundary value problems for operator-differential equations of mixed type and their applications to inverse problems N.L. Abasheeva First we consider the questions on existence and uniqueness of a so- lution to the boundary value problem B(t)ut = L(t)u + f(t), t ∈ (0,T ), T < ∞, u(T ) − u(0) = u0. Here B(t) are self-adjoint operators and L(t) are uniformly dissipative operators acting in a complex Hilbert space E with the inner product (·, ·) and the norm k · k. The operator B(t) can be noninvertible and has arbitrary arrangement of the spectrum. Then we apply obtained results to the following linear inverse problem: to find a function u(t) and an element ϕ satisfying the equation B(t)ut = Lu + f(t) + B(0)ϕ and the boundary conditions u(0) = u0, u(T ) = u1. Trace formula in perturbation theory V. Adamyan In this talk we discuss some old and recent results on the trace formula of perturbation theory in Hilbert and Krein spaces and the contribution of Heinz Langer to the elaboration of this issue. 3 Quasiconformal mappings associated with Gahov’s equation in inverse boundary value problems A. Akhmetova The question on the quantity of roots of so called Gahov’s equation is of importance for the theory of inverse boundary value problems, because it determines the quantity of decisions of that problems. As known, it coincides with the number N of extreme points of conformal radius. R ≡ R(D, z) = |f 0(ζ)|(1 − |ζ|2), (1) where z = f(ζ), ζ ∈ E = {ζ : |ζ| < 1},D = f(E). Here equlity (1) is understood as the graph of function R(D, z), i.e., a surface in R3 over disk E or domain D. The value N coincides with the number of coverings of origin by the range of gradient of the conformal radius ∇R(D, z) = 2Rz¯. (2) In this connection there arises an intrinsic problem of classification of diffeomorphisms (in particular, quasiconformal mappings) of form (2). The present work is a review of results of the papers [4], [5] and [6], supplemented by new effects on quasiconformal mappings (2) for domains f(rE), 0 < r < 1, and on calculation of Gahov’s radiuses for solution of inverse boundary value problems. The talk is based on a joint work with L. Aksent’ev. References [1] G.G. Tumashev and M.T. Nuzhin, Inverse Boundary Value Prob- lems with Applications, Kazan Univ. Publ., Kazan (1965) (in Russian).

Alber We show that the model equations of plasticity and viscoplasticity, which use internal variables to model history dependent material behav- ior, can be reduced to an evolution equation with a nonlinear monotone evolution operator. Based on standard properties of this evolution equa- tion we prove interior and boundary regularity of the solutions. The most interesting part is the investigation of the boundary regularity, since one cannot apply the standard method to prove regularity of the tangential derivatives and subsequentially extend this result to the normal deriva- tives by solving the equations for this derivative. Accordingly, one can show that the stress field belongs to H1,loc, but at the boundary one only gets H1/2−ε-regularity. Recently this result could be improved in [3] to H1/2+ε. The talk is based on joint work with S. Nesenenko. References [1] H.-D. Alber, S. Nesenenko: Local and global regularity in time de- pendent viscoplasticity. In: D.

Ali Mehmeti We consider the Klein-Gordon equation on a star-shaped network composed of n half-axes connected at their origins, adding a potential which is constant but different on each branch. Our main result [3, 4] is an explicit construction of a spectral representation of the corresponding spatial operator using generalized eigenfunctions, exhibiting what we call the multiple tunnel effect. Results in experimental physics [7, 8], theoretical physics [6] and func- tional analysis [1, 5] describe new phenomena created by the dynamics of the (simple) tunnel effect: the delayed reflection and advanced transmis- sion near nodes issuing two branches. It is of major importance for the comprehension of the vibrations of networks to understand these phenom- ena near ramification nodes i.e. nodes with at least 3 branches, motivating our interest for the multiple tunnel effect. Related possible applications are the L∞−time decay, the extension to coupled transmission conditions and, in the case of semi linear equations, global existence and causality (cf. [2] for the case of two branches). References [1] F. Ali Mehmeti, V. R´egnier, Delayed reflection of the energy flow at a potential step for dispersive wave packets. Math. Meth. Appl.

R´egnier. Linear stochastic systems: a white noise space approach D. Alpay We present a new approach to input-output systems n X yn = hmun−m, n = 0, 1,..., m=0 and state space equations xn+1 = Axn + Bxn, yn = Cxn + Dun, n = 0, 1,... when randomness is allowed both in the input sequence (un) and in the impulse response (hn) or in the matrices A, B, C, D, which determine the state space equations. We use Hida’s white noise space setting, and the Kondratiev spaces of stochastic test functions and stochastic distribu- tions. The key to our approach is that the pointwise product between complex numbers is now replaced by the Wick product ♦ between random variables. Thus we have systems of the form n X yn = hm♦un−m, n = 0, 1,..., m=0 7 which can be shown to be (in an appropriate basis) double convolution systems. The Hermite transform maps the white noise space onto the hz,wi reproducing kernel Hilbert space F with reproducing kernel e `2 with z, w ∈ `2, that is, onto the Fock space. This allows us to transfer most, if not all, problems from classical system theory into problems for analytic functions where now there is a countable number of variables. We will describe some stability theorems. The image of the Kondratiev space of distributions under the Hermite transform is a commutative ring without divisors, and we will also explain links with the theory of linear systems over commutative rings. Finally, we will describe the parallels with double convolution systems associated to a new approach to multiscale systems, developed with M. Mboup. The talk is based on various joint works with H. Attia, D. Levanony, M. Mboup and A. Pinhas. A Schur algorithm for a large class of functions D. Alpay We present a framework within the indefinite Schur algorithm can be set, and which allows to consider generalized Schur functions, generalized Nevanlinna functions, and the like in a unified way. We consider a wide class of kernels which includes all such classical kernels as the kernels associated to Schur functions and Nevanlinna functions, and for which a Schur algorithm and general theory of interpolation can be developed.

  • Introduction to Operator Spaces
    Lecture 1: Introduction to Operator Spaces Zhong-Jin Ruan at Leeds, Monday, 17 May , 2010 1 Operator Spaces A Natural Quantization of Banach Spaces 2 Banach Spaces A Banach space is a complete normed space (V/C, k · k). In Banach spaces, we consider Norms and Bounded Linear Maps. Classical Examples: ∗ C0(Ω),M(Ω) = C0(Ω) , `p(I),Lp(X, µ), 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. 3 Hahn-Banach Theorem: Let V ⊆ W be Banach spaces. We have W ↑ & ϕ˜ ϕ V −−−→ C with kϕ˜k = kϕk. It follows from the Hahn-Banach theorem that for every Banach space (V, k · k) we can obtain an isometric inclusion (V, k · k) ,→ (`∞(I), k · k∞) ∗ ∗ where we may choose I = V1 to be the closed unit ball of V . So we can regard `∞(I) as the home space of Banach spaces. 4 Classical Theory Noncommutative Theory `∞(I) B(H) Banach Spaces Operator Spaces (V, k · k) ,→ `∞(I)(V, ??) ,→ B(H) norm closed subspaces of B(H)? 5 Matrix Norm and Concrete Operator Spaces [Arveson 1969] Let B(H) denote the space of all bounded linear operators on H. For each n ∈ N, n H = H ⊕ · · · ⊕ H = {[ξj]: ξj ∈ H} is again a Hilbert space. We may identify ∼ Mn(B(H)) = B(H ⊕ ... ⊕ H) by letting h i h i X Tij ξj = Ti,jξj , j and thus obtain an operator norm k · kn on Mn(B(H)). A concrete operator space is norm closed subspace V of B(H) together with the canonical operator matrix norm k · kn on each matrix space Mn(V ).

  • Implications for Understanding the Role of Affect in Mathematical Thinking
    Mathematicians and music: Implications for understanding the role of affect in mathematical thinking Rena E. Gelb Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 © 2021 Rena E. Gelb All Rights Reserved Abstract Mathematicians and music: Implications for understanding the role of affect in mathematical thinking Rena E. Gelb The study examines the role of music in the lives and work of 20th century mathematicians within the framework of understanding the contribution of affect to mathematical thinking. The current study focuses on understanding affect and mathematical identity in the contexts of the personal, familial, communal and artistic domains, with a particular focus on musical communities. The study draws on published and archival documents and uses a multiple case study approach in analyzing six mathematicians. The study applies the constant comparative method to identify common themes across cases. The study finds that the ways the subjects are involved in music is personal, familial, communal and social, connecting them to communities of other mathematicians. The results further show that the subjects connect their involvement in music with their mathematical practices through 1) characterizing the mathematician as an artist and mathematics as an art, in particular the art of music; 2) prioritizing aesthetic criteria in their practices of mathematics; and 3) comparing themselves and other mathematicians to musicians. The results show that there is a close connection between subjects’ mathematical and musical identities. I identify eight affective elements that mathematicians display in their work in mathematics, and propose an organization of these affective elements around a view of mathematics as an art, with a particular focus on the art of music.

  • Operator Spaces
    Operator Spaces. Alonso Delf´ın University of Oregon. November 19, 2020 Abstract The field of operator spaces is an important branch of functional analysis, commonly used to generalize techniques from Banach space theory to algebras of operators on Hilbert spaces. A \concrete" operator space E is a closed subspace of L(H) for a Hilbert space H. Almost 35 years ago, Zhong-Jin Ruan gave an abstract characterization of operator spaces, which allows us to forget about the concrete Hilbert space H. Roughly speaking, an \abstract" operator space consists of a normed space E together with a family of matrix norms on Mn(E) satisfying two axioms. Ruan's Theorem states that any abstract operator space is completely isomorphic to a concrete one. On this document I will give a basic introduction to operator spaces, providing many examples. I will discuss completely bounded maps (the morphisms in the category of operator spaces) and try to give an idea of why abstract operator spaces are in fact concrete ones. Time permitting, I will explain how operator spaces are used to define a non-selfadjoint version of Hilbert modules and I'll say how this might be useful for my research. 1 Definitions and Examples Definition 1.1. Let H be a Hilbert space. An operator space E is a closed subspace of L(H). Example 1.2. 1. Any C∗-algebra A is an operator space. 2. Let H1 and H2 be Hilbert spaces. Then L(H1; H2) is regarded as an operator space by identifying L(H1; H2) in L(H1 ⊕ H2) by 0 0 L(H ; H ) 3 a 7! 2 L(H ⊕ H ) 1 2 a 0 1 2 3.

  • Fundamental Theorems in Mathematics
    SOME FUNDAMENTAL THEOREMS IN MATHEMATICS OLIVER KNILL Abstract. An expository hitchhikers guide to some theorems in mathematics. Criteria for the current list of 243 theorems are whether the result can be formulated elegantly, whether it is beautiful or useful and whether it could serve as a guide [6] without leading to panic. The order is not a ranking but ordered along a time-line when things were writ- ten down. Since [556] stated “a mathematical theorem only becomes beautiful if presented as a crown jewel within a context" we try sometimes to give some context. Of course, any such list of theorems is a matter of personal preferences, taste and limitations. The num- ber of theorems is arbitrary, the initial obvious goal was 42 but that number got eventually surpassed as it is hard to stop, once started. As a compensation, there are 42 “tweetable" theorems with included proofs. More comments on the choice of the theorems is included in an epilogue. For literature on general mathematics, see [193, 189, 29, 235, 254, 619, 412, 138], for history [217, 625, 376, 73, 46, 208, 379, 365, 690, 113, 618, 79, 259, 341], for popular, beautiful or elegant things [12, 529, 201, 182, 17, 672, 673, 44, 204, 190, 245, 446, 616, 303, 201, 2, 127, 146, 128, 502, 261, 172].

  • Noncommutative Functional Analysis for Undergraduates"
    N∞M∞T Lecture Course Canisius College Noncommutative functional analysis David P. Blecher October 22, 2004 2 Chapter 1 Preliminaries: Matrices = operators 1.1 Introduction Functional analysis is one of the big fields in mathematics. It was developed throughout the 20th century, and has several major strands. Some of the biggest are: “Normed vector spaces” “Operator theory” “Operator algebras” We’ll talk about these in more detail later, but let me give a micro-summary. Normed (vector) spaces were developed most notably by the mathematician Banach, who not very subtly called them (B)-spaces. They form a very general framework and tools to attack a wide range of problems: in fact all a normed (vector) space is, is a vector space X on which is defined a measure of the ‘length’ of each ‘vector’ (element of X). They have a huge theory. Operator theory and operator algebras grew partly out of the beginnings of the subject of quantum mechanics. In operator theory, you prove important things about ‘linear functions’ (also known as operators) T : X → X, where X is a normed space (indeed usually a Hilbert space (defined below). Such operators can be thought of as matrices, as we will explain soon. Operator algebras are certain collections of operators, and they can loosely be thought of as ‘noncommutative number fields’. They fall beautifully within the trend in mathematics towards the ‘noncommutative’, linked to discovery in quantum physics that we live in a ‘noncommutative world’. You can study a lot of ‘noncommutative mathematics’ in terms of operator algebras. The three topics above are functional analysis.

  • The Maximal Operator Space of a Normed Space
    Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society (1996) 39, 309-323 .<* THE MAXIMAL OPERATOR SPACE OF A NORMED SPACE by VERN I. PAULSEN* (Received 27th June 1994) We obtain some new results about the maximal operator space structure which can be put on a normed space. These results are used to prove some dilation results for contractive linear maps from a normed space into B(H). Finally, we prove CB(MIN(X),MAX(y)) = rj(A', Y) and apply this result to prove some new Grothendieck-type inequalities and some new estimates on spans of "free" unitaries. 1991 Mathematics subject classification: 46L05, 46M05. 1. Introduction Given any (complex) vector space X, let Mn(X) denote the vector space of nxn matrices with entries from X. If B(H) denotes the bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H then Mn(B(H)) is endowed with a natural norm via the identification, Mn{B(H)) = B(H®•••®H) (n copies). If X is any subspace of B(H) then the inclusion Mn(X)sMn(B(H)) endows Mn(X) with a norm. These are generally called a matrix- norm on X. Subspaces of B(H) are called operator spaces to indicate that they are more than normed spaces, but normed spaces with a distinguished family of norms on the spaces, Mn(X). If X is only a normed space, then any linear isometry <p:X->B(H) for some H endows each Mn(X) with a norm, i.e. makes X an operator space. Generally, for a normed space X the norms on Mn(X) thus obtained are not unique.

  • The Schatten Space S4 Is a Q-Algebra
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 126, Number 3, March 1998, Pages 715{719 S 0002-9939(98)04545-6 THE SCHATTEN SPACE S4 IS A Q-ALGEBRA CHRISTIAN LE MERDY (Communicated by Palle E. T. Jorgensen) Abstract. For any 1 p ,letSp denote the classical p-Schatten space of ≤ ≤∞ operators on the Hilbert space `2. It was shown by Varopoulos (for p 2) and ≥ by Blecher and the author (full result) that for any 1 p ;Sp equipped ≤ ≤∞ with the Schur product is an operator algebra. Here we prove that S4 (and thus Sp for any 2 p 4) is actually a Q-algebra, which means that it is isomorphic to some≤ quotient≤ of a uniform algebra in the Banach algebra sense. This note deals with the classical problem of determining when a commutative complex Banach algebra is (isomorphic to) a Q-algebra. Let us first recall some classical terminology and notation. Given a compact set T and a Banach space X,wedenotebyC(T)(resp. C(T;X)) the commutative C∗-algebra (resp. the Banach space) of all continu- ous functions from T into the complex field (resp. X). By a uniform algebra, we C mean a closed subalgebra of some commutative C∗-algebra C(T ). Definition. Let A be a commutative complex Banach algebra. We say that A is a Q-algebra provided that there exist a uniform algebra C, a closed ideal I of C and a Banach algebra isomorphism from A onto the quotient algebra C=I. Given 1 p + ,let` denote the Banach space of all p-summable complex ≤ ≤ ∞ p sequences.

    Space and Time as a Consequence of GRW Quantum Jumps Tejinder P. Singh Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Homi Bhabha Road, Mumbai 400005, India ABSTRACT The Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber (GRW) theory of spontaneous collapse offers a possible resolu- tion of the quantum measurement problem. In this theory, the wave function of a particle spontaneously and repeatedly localises to one or the other random position in space, as a consequence of the hypothesised quantum jumps. In between jumps the wave function under- goes the usual Schr¨odinger evolution. In the present paper we suggest that these jumps take place in Hilbert space, with no reference to physical space, and physical three-dimensional space arises as a consequence of localisation of macroscopic objects in the universe. That is, collapse of the wave-function is responsible for the origin of space. We then suggest that similar jumps take place for a hypothetical time operator in Hilbert space, and classical time as we know it emerges from localisation of this time operator for macroscopic objects. More generally, the jumps are suggested to take place in an operator space-time in Hilbert space, leading to an emergent classical space-time. This article is respectfully dedicated to the memory of Giancarlo Ghirardi I. THE GRW THEORY The GRW theory [1, 2] makes the following two postulates for dynamics in non-relativistic quantum mechanics: 1.
