On certain Toeplitz operators and associated completely positive maps

We study Toeplitz operators with respect to a commuting $n$-tuple of bounded operators which satisfies some additional conditions coming from complex geometry. Then we consider a particular such tuple on a function space. The algebra of Toeplitz operators with respect to that particular tuple becomes naturally homeomorphic to $L^\infty$ of a certain compact subset of $\mathbb C^n$. Dual Toeplitz operators are characterized. En route, we prove an extension type theorem which is not only important for studying Toeplitz operators, but also has an independent interest because dilation theorems do not hold in general for $n>2$.Comment: 25 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1706.0346

Non-harmonic MM-elliptic pseudo differential operators on manifolds

In this article, we introduce and study $M$-elliptic pseudo-differential operators in the framework of non-harmonic analysis of boundary value problems on a manifold $\Omega$ with boundary $\partial \Omega$, introduced by Ruzhansky and Tokmagambetov ( Int. Math. Res. Not. IMRN, (12), 3548-3615, 2016) in terms of a model operator $\mathfrak{L}$. More precisely, we consider a weighted $\mathfrak{L}$-symbol class $M_{\rho, 0, \Lambda}^{m}, m\in \mathbb{R},$ associated to a suitable weight function $\Lambda$ on a countable set $\mathcal{I}$ and study elements of the symbolic calculus for pseudo-differential operators associated with $\mathfrak{L}$-symbol class $M_{\rho, 0, \Lambda}^{m},$ by deriving formulae for the composition, adjoint, and transpose. Using the notion of $M$-ellipticity for symbols belonging to $\mathfrak{L}$-symbol class $M_{\rho, 0, \Lambda}^{m}$, we construct the parametrix of $M$-elliptic pseudo-differential operators. Further, we investigate the minimal and maximal extensions for $M$-elliptic pseudo-differential operators and show that they coincide when the symbol $\sigma\in M_{\rho, 0, \Lambda}^{m},$ is $M$-elliptic. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition to ensure that the pseudo-differential operators $T_{\sigma}$ with symbol in the $\mathfrak{L}$-symbol class $M_{\rho, 0,\Lambda}^{0}$ is a compact operator in $L^{2}(\Omega)$ or a Riesz operator in $L^{p}(\Omega).$ Finally, we prove G\"arding's inequality for pseudo-differential operators associated with symbol from $M_{\rho, 0,\Lambda}^{0}$ in the setting of non-harmonic analysis.Comment: 4

Hyperon production in near threshold nucleon-nucleon collisions

We study the mechanism of the associated Lambda-kaon and Sigma-kaon production in nucleon-nucleon collisions over an extended range of near threshold beam energies within an effective Lagrangian model, to understand of the new data on pp --> p Lambda K+ and pp --> p Sigma0 K+ reactions published recently by the COSY-11 collaboration. In this theory, the hyperon production proceeds via the excitation of N*(1650), N*(1710), and N*(1720) baryonic resonances. Interplay of the relative contributions of various resonances to the cross sections, is discussed as a function of the beam energy over a larger near threshold energy domain. Predictions of our model are given for the total cross sections of pp --> p Sigma+K0, pp --> n Sigma+K+, and pn --> n Lambda K+ reactions.Comment: 16 pages, 4 figures, one new table added and dicussions are updated, version accepted for publication by Physical Review

Strangeness production in proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions

In these lectures we discuss the investigation of the strange meson production in proton-proton ($pp$) and in proton-nucleus ($pA$) reactions within an effective Lagrangian model. The kaon production proceeds mainly via the excitations of $N^*$(1650), $N^*$(1710), and $N^*$(1720) resonant intermediate nucleonic states, in the collision of two initial state nucleons. Therefore, the strangeness production is expected to provide information about the resonances lying at higher excitation energies. For beam energies very close to the kaon production threshold the hyperon-proton final state interaction effects are quite important. Thus, these studies provide a check on the models of hyperon-nucleon interactions. The in-medium production of kaons show strong sensitivity to the self energies of the intermediate mesons.Comment: 16 pages, 9 figures, Talk presented in the workshop on Hadron Physics, Puri, India, March 7-17,200
