Metric properties of the group of area preserving diffeomorphisms
2001
Area preserving cliffeoinorpliisms of the 2-disk which are identity near the boundary form a group D2 wllich can be equipped, usin-g tlhe L2nlorm on its Lie algebra, with a right invariant metric. Witll tllis metric the diameter of D2 is infinite. In this paper we sl-iow that D2 contains quasiisometric embeddings of any finitely generated free group and any finitely generated abelian free group.
Quasi-isometries associated to A-contractions
2014
Abstract Given two operators A and T ( A ≥ 0 , ‖ A ‖ = 1 ) on a Hilbert space H satisfying T ⁎ A T ≤ A , we study the maximum subspace of H which reduces M = A 1 / 2 T to a quasi-isometry, that is on which the equality M ⁎ M = M ⁎ 2 M 2 holds. In some cases, this subspace coincides with the maximum subspace which reduces M to a normal partial isometry, for example when A = T T ⁎ , and in particular if T ⁎ is a cohyponormal contraction. In this case the corresponding subspace can be completely described in terms of asymptotic limit of the contraction T. When M is quasinormal and M ⁎ M = A then the former above quoted subspace reduces to the kernel of A − A 2 . The case of an arbitrary contra…
Operators intertwining with isometries and Brownian parts of 2-isometries
2016
Abstract For two operators A and T ( A ≥ 0 ) on a Hilbert space H satisfying T ⁎ A T = A and the A-regularity condition A T = A 1 / 2 T A 1 / 2 we study the subspace N ( A − A 2 ) in connection with N ( A T − T A ) , for T belonging to different classes. Our results generalize those due to C. Kubrusly concerning the case when T is a contraction and A = S T is the asymptotic limit of T. Also, the particular case of a 2-isometry in the sense of S. Richter as well as J. Agler and M. Stankus is considered. For such operators, under the same regularity condition we completely describe the reducing Brownian unitary and isometric parts, as well as the invariant Brownian isometric part. Some exampl…
Partial isometries and the conjecture of C.K. Fong and S.K. Tsui
2016
Abstract We investigate some bounded linear operators T on a Hilbert space which satisfy the condition | T | ≤ | Re T | . We describe the maximum invariant subspace for a contraction T on which T is a partial isometry to obtain that, in certain cases, the above condition ensures that T is self-adjoint. In other words we show that the Fong–Tsui conjecture holds for partial isometries, contractive quasi-isometries, or 2-quasi-isometries, and Brownian isometries of positive covariance, or even for a more general class of operators.
