Let $H^{\infty}(\Omega,X)$ be the space of bounded analytic functions $f(z)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} x_{n}z^{n}$ from a proper simply connected domain Ω containing the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in \mathbb{C}:|z| \lt 1\}$ into a complex Banach space X with $\left\lVert f\right\rVert_{H^{\infty}(\Omega,X)} \leq 1$. Let $\phi=\{\phi_{n}(r)\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ with $\phi_{0}(r)\leq 1$ such that $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \phi_{n}(r)$ converges locally uniformly with respect to $r \in [0,1)$. For $1\leq p,q \lt \infty$, we denote

\begin{equation*}R_{p,q,\phi}(f,\Omega,X)= \sup \left\{r \geq 0: \left\lVert x_{0}\right\rVert^p \phi_{0}(r) + \left(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left\lVert x_{n}\right\rVert\phi_{n}(r)\right)^q \leq \phi_{0}(r)\right\}\end{equation*}

\begin{equation*}R_{p,q,\phi}(\Omega,X)=\inf \left\{R_{p,q,\phi}(f,\Omega,X): \left\lVert f\right\rVert_{H^{\infty}(\Omega,X)} \leq 1\right\}.\end{equation*}

In this article, we study the Bohr operator for the operator-valued subordination class $S(f)$ consisting of holomorphic functions subordinate to f in the unit disk $\mathbb {D}:=\{z \in \mathbb {C}: |z|<1\}$, where $f:\mathbb {D} \rightarrow \mathcal {B}(\mathcal {H})$ is holomorphic and $\mathcal {B}(\mathcal {H})$ is the algebra of bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal {H}$. We establish several subordination results, which can be viewed as the analogs of a couple of interesting subordination results from scalar-valued settings. We also obtain a von Neumann-type inequality for the class of analytic self-mappings of the unit disk $\mathbb {D}$ which fix the origin. Furthermore, we extensively study Bohr inequalities for operator-valued polyanalytic functions in certain proper simply connected domains in $\mathbb {C}$. We obtain Bohr radius for the operator-valued polyanalytic functions of the form $F(z)= \sum _{l=0}^{p-1} \overline {z}^l \, f_{l}(z) $, where $f_{0}$ is subordinate to an operator-valued convex biholomorphic function, and operator-valued starlike biholomorphic function in the unit disk $\mathbb {D}$.

Let $C_{\||.\||}$ be an ideal of compact operators with symmetric norm $\||.\||$ . In this paper, we extend the van Hemmen–Ando norm inequality for arbitrary bounded operators as follows: if f is an operator monotone function on $[0,\infty)$ and S and T are bounded operators in $\mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H}\;\,)$ such that ${\rm{sp}}(S),{\rm{sp}}(T) \subseteq \Gamma_a=\{z\in \mathbb{C} \ | \ {\rm{re}}(z)\geq a\}$ , then

\begin{equation*}\||f(S)X-Xf(T)\|| \leq\;f'(a) \ \||SX-XT\||,\end{equation*}

$X\in C_{\||.\||}$

${\rm{sp}}(S), {\rm{sp}}(T) \subseteq \Gamma_a$

\begin{equation*}\||S^r X-XT^r\|| \leq r a^{r-1} \ \||SX-XT\||,\end{equation*}

$X\in C_{\||.\||}$

$0\leq r\leq 1$

We establish a theory of noncommutative (NC) functions on a class of von Neumann algebras with a particular direct sum property, e.g., $B({\mathcal H})$ . In contrast to the theory’s origins, we do not rely on appealing to results from the matricial case. We prove that the $k{\mathrm {th}}$ directional derivative of any NC function at a scalar point is a k-linear homogeneous polynomial in its directions. Consequences include the fact that NC functions defined on domains containing scalar points can be uniformly approximated by free polynomials as well as realization formulas for NC functions bounded on particular sets, e.g., the NC polydisk and NC row ball.

Let $\mathcal {B}(\mathcal {H})$ be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal {H}$ . In this paper, we first establish several sharp improved and refined versions of the Bohr’s inequality for the functions in the class $H^{\infty }(\mathbb {D},\mathcal {B}(\mathcal {H}))$ of bounded analytic functions from the unit disk $\mathbb {D}:=\{z \in \mathbb {C}:|z|<1\}$ into $\mathcal {B}(\mathcal {H})$ . For the complete circular domain $Q \subset \mathbb {C}^{n}$ , we prove the multidimensional analogues of the operator valued Bohr-type inequality which can be viewed as a special case of the result by G. Popescu [Adv. Math. 347 (2019), 1002–1053] for free holomorphic functions on polyballs. Finally, we establish the multidimensional analogues of several improved Bohr’s inequalities for operator valued functions in Q.

We establish Bohr inequalities for operator-valued functions, which can be viewed as analogues of a couple of interesting results from scalar-valued settings. Some results of this paper are motivated by the classical flavour of Bohr inequality, while others are based on a generalized concept of the Bohr radius problem.

Nuij's theorem states that if a polynomial $p\in \mathbb{R}[z]$ is hyperbolic (i.e., has only real roots), then $p+s{{p}^{'}}$ is also hyperbolic for any $s\in \mathbb{R}$. We study other perturbations of hyperbolic polynomials of the form ${{p}_{a}}(z,s)\,\,:=\,\,\,p\,(z)+\,\sum\nolimits_{k=1}^{d}{{{a}_{k}}{{s}^{k}}{{p}^{(k)}}(z)}$. We give a full characterization of those $a=({{a}_{1}},...,{{a}_{d}})\,\in \,{{\mathbb{R}}^{d}}$ for which ${{p}_{a}}(z,s)$ is a pencil of hyperbolic polynomials. We also give a full characterization of those $a=({{a}_{1}},...,{{a}_{d}})\,\in \,{{\mathbb{R}}^{d}}$ for which the associated families $ $ admit universal determinantal representations. In fact, we show that all these sequences come fromspecial symmetric Toeplitz matrices.

This paper concerns free function theory. Free maps are free analogs of analytic functions in several complex variables and are defined in terms of freely noncommuting variables. A function of $g$ noncommuting variables is a function on $g$-tuples of square matrices of all sizes that respects direct sums and simultaneous conjugation. Examples of such maps include noncommutative polynomials, noncommutative rational functions, and convergent noncommutative power series.

In sharp contrast to the existing literature in free analysis, this article investigates free maps with involution, free analogs of real analytic functions. To get a grip on these, techniques and tools from invariant theory are developed and applied to free analysis. Here is a sample of the results obtained. A characterization of polynomial free maps via properties of their finite-dimensional slices is presented and then used to establish power series expansions for analytic free maps about scalar and non-scalar points; the latter are series of generalized polynomials for which an invariant-theoretic characterization is given. Furthermore, an inverse and implicit function theorem for free maps with involution is obtained. Finally, with a selection of carefully chosen examples it is shown that free maps with involution do not exhibit strong rigidity properties enjoyed by their involution-free counterparts.

Let $\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}H$ be a linear unbounded operator in a Hilbert space. It is assumed that the resolvent of $H$ is a compact operator and $H-H^*$ is a Hilbert–Schmidt operator. Various integro-differential operators satisfy these conditions. It is shown that $H$ is similar to a normal operator and a sharp bound for the condition number is suggested. We also discuss applications of that bound to spectrum perturbations and operator functions.

We describe some aspects of spectral theory that involve algebraic considerations but need no analysis. Some of the important applications of the results are to the algebra of n×n matrices with entries that are polynomials or more general analytic functions.

We present the explicit formulas for the projectors on the generalized eigenspaces associated with some eigenvalues for linear neutral functional differential equations $\left( \text{NFDE} \right)$ in ${{L}^{p}}$ spaces by using integrated semigroup theory. The analysis is based on the main result established elsewhere by the authors and results by Magal and Ruan on non-densely defined Cauchy problem. We formulate the $\text{NFDE}$ as a non-densely defined Cauchy problem and obtain some spectral properties from which we then derive explicit formulas for the projectors on the generalized eigenspaces associated with some eigenvalues. Such explicit formulas are important in studying bifurcations in some semi-linear problems.

We present a new and simple approach to the theory of multiple operator integrals that applies to unbounded operators affiliated with general von Neumann algebras. For semifinite von Neumann algebras we give applications to the Fréchet differentiation of operator functions that sharpen existing results, and establish the Birman–Solomyak representation of the spectral shift function of M.G. Krein in terms of an average of spectral measures in the type II setting. We also exhibit a surprising connection between the spectral shift function and spectral flow.

In this paper we study linear fractional relations defined in the following way. Let i, 'i, i = 1,2, be Banach spaces. We denote the space of bounded linear operators by . Let T ε ( 1 ⊕ 2, '1 ⊕ '2). To each such operator there corresponds a 2 × 2 operator matrix of the form(*) where T ij ε ( j , 'i . For each such T we define a set-valued map G T from ( 1, 2) into the set of closed affine subspaces of ('1, '2) by

The map G T is called a linear fractional relation.

The paper is devoted to the following two problems.

• • Characterization of operator matrices of the form (*) for which the set G T(K) is non-empty for each K in some open ball of the space (1,2).

• • Characterizations of quadruples (1, 2, '1, '2) of Banach spaces such that linear fractional relations defined for such spaces satisfy the natural analogue of the Liouville theorem “a bounded entire function is constant”.

It is proved that the quantum stochastic gauge integral preserves self-adjointness of vacuum-adapted processes. This fact, together with bounded perturbations and the link between the Hudson–Parthasarathy calculus and vacuum-adapted theory, is used to produce many self-adjoint quantum semimartingales.

We show that the operator-valued Marcinkiewicz and Mikhlin Fourier multiplier theorem are valid if and only if the underlying Banach space is isomorphic to a Hilbert space.

The class $P_n(I)$ of matrix monotone functions of order $n$, defined on an open interval $I$, is considered in this paper. Explicit examples are given to prove that if $I$ is different from the whole real line, then $P_{n+1}(I)$ is a proper subset of $P_n(I)$ for each natural number $n$. The subhomogeneous C*-algebras are then characterized in terms of matrix monotone functions.

Markov's Theorem shows asymptotic behavior of the ratio between the n-th orthonormal polynomial with respect to a positive measure and the n-th polynomial of the second kind. In this paper we extend Markov's Theorem for orthogonal matrix polynomials.

Eigenvalue problems for selfadjoint quadratic operator polynomials L(λ) = Iλ2 + Bλ+ C on a Hilbert space H are considered where B, C∈ℒ(H), C >0, and |B| ≥ kI + k-l C for some k >0. It is shown that the spectrum of L(λ) is real. The distribution of eigenvalues on the real line and other spectral properties are also discussed. The arguments rely on the well-known theory of (weakly) hyperbolic operator polynomials.
