Non-negative Integer Power of a Hyponormal m-isometry is Reflexive

Sarason did pioneer work on reflexive operator and reflexivity of normal operators, however, he did not used the word reflexive but his results are equivalent to say that every normal operator is reflexive. The word reflexive was suggested by HALMOS and first appeared in H. Rajdavi and P. Rosenthals book `Invariant Subspaces’ in 1973. This line of research was continued by Deddens who showed that every isometry in B(H) is reflexive. R. Wogen has proved that `every quasi-normal operator is reflexive’. These results of Deddens, Sarason, Wogen are particular cases of theorem of Olin and Thomson which says that all sub-normal operators are reflexive. In other direction, Deddens and Fillmore characterized these operators acting on a finite dimensional space are reflexive. J. B. Conway and Dudziak generalized the result of reflexivity of normal, quasi-normal, sub-normal operators by proving the reflexivity of Vonneumann operators. In this paper we shall discuss the condition under which m-isometries operators turned to be reflexive.

Range-compatible homomorphisms over the field with two elements

Let U and V be finite-dimensional vector spaces over a field K, and S be a linear subspace of the space L(U, V ) of all linear operators from U to V. A map F : S → V is called range-compatible when F(s) ∈ Im s for all s ∈ S. Previous work has classified all the range-compatible group homomorphisms provided that codimL(U,V )S ≤ 2 dim V − 3, except in the special case when K has only two elements and codimL(U,V )S = 2 dim V − 3. This article gives a thorough treatment of that special case. The results are partly based upon the recent classification of vector spaces of matrices with rank at most 2 over F2. As an application, the 2-dimensional non-reflexive operator spaces are classified over any field, and so do the affine subspaces of Mn,p(K) with lower-rank at least 2 and codimension 3.

CO-REPRESENTATIONS OF HOPF–VON NEUMANN ALGEBRAS ON OPERATOR SPACES OTHER THAN COLUMN HILBERT SPACE

Recently, Daws introduced a notion of co-representation of abelian Hopf–von Neumann algebras on general reflexive Banach spaces. In this note, we show that this notion cannot be extended beyond subhomogeneous Hopf–von Neumann algebras. The key is our observation that, for a von Neumann algebra 𝔐 and a reflexive operator space E, the normal spatial tensor product $\M \btensor \CB (E)$ is a Banach algebra if and only if 𝔐 is subhomogeneous or E is completely isomorphic to column Hilbert space.

A Double Triangle Operator Algebra From SL2(ℝ+)

We consider the w*-closed operator algebra generated by the image of the semigroup SL2(ℝ+) under a unitary representation ρ of SL2(ℝ) on the Hilbert space L2(ℝ). We show that is a reflexive operator algebra and = Alg where is a double triangle subspace lattice. Surprisingly, is also generated as a w*-closed algebra by the image under ρ of a strict subsemigroup of SL2(ℝ+).
