In this article, we study a class of contractive factors ofbreak m-hypercontractions for m∈N. We find a characterization of such factors and it is achieved by finding explicit dilations of these factors on certain weighted Bergman spaces. This is a generalization of the work done by {B.K. Das, S. Sarkar, J. Sarkar}, Factorization of contraction, textit{Adv. in Math.} textbf{322}(2017), 186--200.

We classify all sets of the form ⋃t∈Rspec(A+tB) where A and B are self-adjoint operators and B is bounded, non-negative, and non-zero. We show that these sets are exactly the complements of discrete subsets of R, that is, of at most countable subsets of R that contain none of their accumulation points.

We give an entire free holomorphic function $f$ which is unbounded on the row ball. That is, we give a holomorphic free noncommutative function which is continuous in the free topology developed by Agler and McCarthy but is unbounded on the set of row contractions.

We consider 2-positive almost order zero (disjointness preserving) maps on C∗-algebras. Generalizing the argument of M. Choi for multiplicative domains, we provide an internal characterization of almost order zero for 2-positive maps. In addition, it is shown that complete positivity can be reduced to 2-positivity in the definition of decomposition rank for unital separable C∗-algebras.

There are two natural notions of L'evy processes in free probability: the first one has free increments with homogeneous distributions and the other has homogeneous transition probabilities (P.~Biane, textit{Math. Z.} {bf 227}(1998), 143--174). In the two cases one can associate a Nevanlinna function to a free L'evy process. The Nevanlinna functions appearing in the first notion were characterized by Bercovici and Voiculescu, textit{Pacific J. Math.} {bf 153}(1992), 217--248. I give an explicit parametrization for the Nevanlinna functions associated with the second kind of free L'evy processes. This gives a nonlinear free L'evy--Khinchine formula.

Finite rank perturbations T=N+K of a bounded normal operator N acting on a separable Hilbert space are studied thanks to a natural functional model of T; in its turn the functional model solely relies on a perturbation matrix/characteristic function previously defined by the second author. Function theoretic features of this perturbation matrix encode in a closed-form the spectral behavior of T. Under mild geometric conditions on the spectral measure of N and some smoothness constraints on K we show that the operator T admits invariant subspaces, or even it is decomposable.

We introduce a class of unitarily invariant, locally ‖ · ‖1-dominating, mutually continuous norms with repect to τ on a von Neumann algebra M with a faithful, normal, semifinite tracial weight τ . We prove a Beurling-Chen-Hadwin-Shen theorem for H∞-invariant spaces of Lα(M, τ), where α is a unitarily invariant, locally ‖ · ‖1-dominating, mutually continuous norm with respect to τ , and H∞ is an extension of Arveson’s noncommutative Hardy space. We use our main result to characterize the H∞-invariant subspaces of a noncommutative Banach function space I(τ) with the norm ‖ · ‖E on M, the crossed product of a semifinite von Neumann algebra by an action β, and B(H) for a separable Hilbert space H.

Let Do be a simply connected subdomain of the unit disk and A be a compact subset of Do. Let φ be a universal covering map for Do A. We prove that the composition operator Cφ is compact on the Hardy space H if and only if φ does not have an angular derivative at any point of the unit circle. This result extends a theorem of M.M. Jones.

We give a new proof of a classical result which provides a one-to-one correspondence between positive definite radial kernels on a homogeneous tree and finite Borel measures on the interval $[-1,1]$. Our methods allow us to find a new characterisation in terms of positive trace-class operators on $ell_2$. Furthermore, we extend both characterisations to finite products of homogeneous trees. The proof relies on a formula for the norm of radial Schur multipliers, in the spirit of Haagerup--Steenstrup--Szwarc, and a variation of the Hamburger moment problem.
