Beurling Criteria for Reproducing Kernels

Shuaibing Luo, Scott McCullough, Georgios Tsikalas

A classical theorem due to Beurling-Lax-Halmos characterizes the invariant subspaces of the unilateral shift as ranges of isometric multiplication operators acting on the Hardy spa…

Operator-Valued Positivstellensätze on Matrix Convex Sets and Free Products of Finite Abelian Groups

Abhay Jindal, Igor Klep, Scott McCullough

We prove a Positivstellensatz for operator-valued noncommutative polynomials that are positive on matrix convex sets. Specifically, let be an operator-valued polynomial in $B(H…

Positive operator-valued noncommutative polynomials are squares

Abhay Jindal, Igor Klep, Scott McCullough

We establish operator-valued versions of the earlier foundational factorization results for noncommutative polynomials due to Helton (Ann.~Math., 2002) and one of the authors (Line…

Fejér--Riesz factorization for positive noncommutative trigonometric polynomials

Igor Klep, Jacob Levenson, Scott McCullough

We prove a Fejér-Riesz type factorization for positive matrix-valued noncommutative trigonometric polynomials on , where is either the…

The complete Pick property for pairs of kernels and Shimorin's factorization

Scott McCullough, Georgios Tsikalas

Let be a pair of Hilbert function spaces with kernels . In a 2005 paper, Shimorin showed that a certain factorization condition on $(…

Duality, extreme points and hulls for noncommutative partial convexity

Igor Klep, Scott McCullough, Tea Å trekelj

This article studies generalizations of (matrix) convexity, including partial convexity and biconvexity, under the umbrella of -convexity. Here is a tuple of free symmetri…
