In operator theory , a Toeplitz operator is the dilation operator theory compression of a multiplication operator on the circle to the Hardy space . Details Let S sup 1 sup be the circle, with the standard Lebesgue measure, and L sup 2 sup S sup 1 sup be the Hilbert space of square integrable functions. A bounded measurable function g on S sup 1 sup defines a multiplication operator M sub g sub on L sup 2 sup S sup 1 sup . Let P be the projection from L sup 2 sup S sup 1 sup onto the Hardy space H sup 2 sup . The Toeplitz operator with symbol g is defined by math T g P M g vert H 2 , math where means restriction. A bounded operator on H sup 2 sup is Toeplitz if and only if its matrix representation, in the basis z sup n sup , n 0 , has constant diagonals.

In functional analysis , an operator algebra is an algebra over a field algebra of continuous function topology continuous linear operator s on a topological vector space with the multiplication given by the composition of mappings. Although it is usually classified as a branch of functional analysis, it has direct applications to representation theory , differential geometry , quantum statistical mechanics and quantum field theory . Such algebras can be used to study wiktionary arbitrary arbitrary sets of operators with little algebraic relation simultaneously . From this point of view, operator algebras can be regarded as a generalization of spectral theory of a single operator. In general operator algebras are non commutative ring mathematics ring s.

Unreferenced date March 2007 The dereference operator or indirection operator , denoted by code code i.e. an asterisk , is a unary operator found in C programming language C like languages that include pointer computer programming pointer variables. It operates on a pointer variable, and returns an code value computer science l value code equivalent to the value at the pointer address. This is called dereferencing the pointer. For example, the C code source lang C int x 0 int pointer to x &x pointer to x 1 x is now equal to 1 source increments the variable code x code by using the indirection operator and a pointer to the variable code x code . In BCPL , an ancestor of C, the equivalent operator was represented using an exclamation mark . Many other operators exist to dereference pointers, and this is of significant importance especially in Object Oriented languages. In Java for example there is the binary operator, dot, which is placed by infix notation between an object reference on the left and a member of that object s class on the right. In the form code X . Y code the dot operator dereferences the pointer code X code , yielding an object, and then accesses the member code Y code from that object. For example, the Java code source lang C int a new int 1, 2, 3 int c a.length source first creates an array of code int code primitives, and stores a reference to that array in pointer code a code . The dot operator is then used to dereference the pointer code a code and access the code length code member of the array object, storing the value in variable code c code . The unary operator, as defined in C programming language C and C , can be used in compositions where multiple acts of dereferencing are required. Pointers can of course reference other pointers, and in such cases, multiple applications of the dereference operator are needed. Similarly, the Java dot operator ...

Unreferenced date July 2009 In operator theory , a bounded operator T on a Hilbert space is said to be nilpotent if T sup n sup 0 for some n . It is said to be quasinilpotent or topological nilpotent if its spectrum functional analysis spectrum T 0 . Examples In the finite dimensional case, i.e. when T is a square matrix with complex entries, T 0 if and only if T is similar to a matrix whose only nonzero entries are on the superdiagonal, by the Jordan canonical form . In turn this is equivalent to T sup n sup 0 for some n . Therefore, for matrices, quasinilpotency coincides with nilpotency. This is not true when H is infinite dimensional. Consider the Volterra operator , defined as follows consider the unit square X 0,1 × 0,1 R sup 2 sup , with the Lebesgue measure m . On X , define the kernel function K by math K x,y left begin matrix 1, & mbox if x geq y 0, & mbox otherwise . end matrix right. math The Volterra operator is the corresponding integral operator T on the Hilbert space L sup 2 sup X , m given by math T f x int 0 1 K x,y f y dy. math The operator T is not nilpotent take f to be the function that is 1 everywhere and direct calculation shows that T sup n sup f 0 in the sense of L sup 2 sup for all n . However, T is quasinilpotent. First notice that K is in L sup 2 sup X , m , therefore T is compact operator on Hilbert space compact . By the spectral properties of compact operators, any nonzero in T is an eigenvalue. But it can be shown that T has no nonzero eigenvalues, therefore T is quasinilpotent.

In operator theory , quasinormal operators is a class of bounded operators defined by weakening the requirements of a normal operator . Every quasinormal operator is a subnormal operator .

Definition and some properties Definition Let A be a bounded operator on a Hilbert space H , then A is said to be quasinormal if A commutes with A A , i.e. math A A A A A A. , math Properties A normal operator is necessarily quasinormal. Let A UP be the polar decomposition of A . If A is quasinormal, then UP PU . To see this, notice that the positive factor P in the polar decomposition is of the form A A sup ½ sup , the unique positive square root of A A . Quasinormality means A commutes with A A . As a consequence of the continuous functional calculus for self adjoint operators, A commutes with P A A sup ½ sup also, i.e. math U P P P U P. , math So UP PU on the range of P . On the other hand, if h &isin H lies in kernel of P , clearly UP h 0. But PU h 0 as well. because U is a partial isometry whose initial space is closure of range P . Finally, the self adjointness of P implies that H is the direct sum of its range and kernel. Thus the argument given proves UP PU on all of H . On the other hand, one can readily verify that if UP PU , then A must be quasinormal. Thus the operator A is quasinormal if and only if UP PU . When H is finite dimensional, every quasinormal operator A is normal. This is because ... may not be extendable to a unitary operator and therefore a quasinormal operator need not be normal.

Intuitively, the continuous operator A never lengthens any vector more than by a factor of c . Thus the image of a bounded set under a continuous operator is also bounded. Because of this property, the continuous linear operators are also known as bounded operator s. In order to measure the size ... case. So we define the operator norm of A as math A op min c ge 0 Av le c v mbox for all v in V math ... in the article on norm mathematics norms .

In quantum physics, the squeeze operator for a single mode is ref cite book title Introductory quantum optics author Gerry, C.C. and Knight, P.L. isbn 9780521527354 url http books.google.com books?id CgByyoBJJwgC&pg PA182 year 2005 publisher Cambridge University Press page 182 ref math hat S z exp left 1 over 2 z hat a 2 z hat a dagger 2 right , qquad z r e i theta math where the operators inside the exponential are the ladder operators . The squeeze operator is ubiquitous in quantum optics and can operate on any state. For example, when acting upon the vacuum, the squeezing operator produces the squeezed vacuum state. The squeezing operator can also act on coherent states and produce squeezed coherent state s. The squeezing operator does not commute with the displacement operator math hat S z hat D alpha neq hat D alpha hat S z , math nor does it commute with the ladder operators, so one must pay close attention to how the operators are used.

No footnotes date September 2011 Expert subject linguistics article date September 2011 In linguistics , an operator is a special variety of determiner linguistics determiner including the interrogative word visible interrogatives , the quantifier s, and the hypothetical invisible pronoun denoted Op . Operators are differentiated from other determiners by their ability to produce topicalization and to have trace linguistics trace s that jump over other trace chains. In English, the wh words are considered visible operators . Acceptance of invisible operators in syntactic theory has been justified on the basis of visible operators or topic marker s in languages such as Japanese language Japanese . All operators are subject to the bijection principle , first proposed by Koopman and Sportiche Every operator A binds exactly one variable and every variable is A bound by exactly one operator. In classical government and binding theory , an operator is usually understood to be a wh word or a quantifier in an A position. Examples Who said he killed John? Everyone likes someone. In the following example, the trace t of a man acts as the complement to the verb shot , and the trace o of the operator when acts as a modifier to the entire verb phrase There was a time when a man would have been shot t for such behavior o . Example of an invisible, or non overt, operator John is easy Op sub i sub PRO to please t sub i sub . References Koopman, H., & Sportiche, D. 1982 . Variables and the Bijection Principle.
