Abstract.We interpret the algebra of finite rank operators as imaginaries inside a Hilbert space. We prove that the Hilbert space enlarged with these imaginaries has built-in canonical bases.

AbstractThe result of S. Grabiner [5] on range inclusion is applied for establishing the following two theorems: 1. For A, B ∊ L(H), two operators on the Hilbert space H, we have DBC0(H) ⊆ DAL(H) if and only if DBC1(H) ⊆ DAL(H), where DA is the inner derivation which sends S ∊ L(H) to AS - SA, C1(H) is the ideal of trace class operators and C0(H) is the ideal of finite rank operators. 2. (Due to Fialkow [3]) For A, B ∊ L(H), we write T(A, B) for the map on L(H) sending S to AS - SB. Then the range of T(A, B)is the whole L(H) if it includes all finite rank operators L(H).

We consider the spatial numerical range of operators on weighted Hardy spaces and give conditions for closedness of numerical range of compact operators. We also prove that the spatial numerical range of finite rank operators on weighted Hardy spaces is star shaped; though, in general, it does not need to be convex.

A C*-algebra A of operators on a separable Hilbert space H is said to be quasidiagonal if there is an increasing sequence E1, E2, … of finite-rank projections on H tending strongly to the identity and such thatas i → ∞ for T∈A. More generally a C*-algebra is quasidiagonal if there is a faithful *-representation π of A on a separable Hilbert space H such that π(A) is a quasidiagonal algebra of operators. When this is the case, there is a decomposition H = H1 ⊕ H2 ⊕ … where dim Hi < ∞ (i = 1, 2,…) such that each T∈π(A) can be written T = D + K where D= D1 ⊕ D2 ⊕ …, with Di∈L(Hi) (i = 1, 2,…), and K is a compact linear operator on H. As is well known (and readily seen), this is an alternative characterization of quasidiagonality.

It is shown that there exist aσ-weakly closed operator algebraA˜, generated by finite rank operators and aσ-weakly closed operator algebraB˜generated by compact operators such that the Fubini productA˜⊗¯FB˜contains properlyA˜⊗¯B˜.

Let  be either a reflexive subspace or a bimodule of a reflexive algebra in B (H), the set of bounded operators on a Hilbert space H. We find some conditions such that a finite rank T ∈  has a rank one summand in  and  has strong decomposability. Let (ℒ) be the set of all operators on H that annihilate all the operators of rank at most one in alg ℒ. We construct an atomic Boolean subspace lattice ℒ on H such that there is a finite rank operator T in (ℒ) such that T does not have a rank one summand in (ℒ). We obtain some lattice-theoretic conditions on a subspace lattice ℒ which imply alg ℒ is strongly decomposable.

In [4], H. Kamowitz considered the condition, to be satisfied by a bounded operator N on a Hilbert space , thatfor all operators X on . Kamowitz discovered that such an N must be normal and its spectrum must lie on a line or a circle; that is, N must be of the form αJ + β, where α and β are complex numbers and J is either Hermitian or unitary. G. Weiss [5] showed that the Hilbert-Schmidt norm behaves differently: N need only be normal in order thatfor all finite-rank operators X, and in fact this condition is equivalent to normality. Actually, the result in [5] removes the restriction that X be finite-rank, that is, if N is normal and X is any bounded operator, then

AbstractIf A is a norm closed algebra of compact operators on a Hilbert space and if its Jacobson radical J(A) consists of all quasinilpotent operators in A then A/ J(A) is commutative. The result is not valid for a general algebra of polynomially compact operators.
