Using Voiculescu’s notion of a matricial microstate we introduce fractal dimensions and entropies for finite sets of selfadjoint operators in a tracial von Neumann algebra. We show that they possess properties similar to their classical predecessors. We relate the new quantities to free entropy and free entropy dimension and show that a modified version of free Hausdorff dimension is an algebra...

We introduce and investigate the orbit-closed $C$-numerical range, a natural modification of range an operator introduced for $C$ trace-class by Dirr vom Ende. Our is conservative theirs because these two sets have same closure even coincide when finite rank. Since Ende's results concerning depend only on its closure, our inherits properties, but we also establish more. For selfadjoint, Ende we...

A selfadjoint involutive matrix J endows C with an indefinite inner product [·, ·] given by [x, y] := 〈Jx, y〉, x, y ∈ C. We present some inequalities of indefinite type involving the α−power mean and the chaotic order. These results are in the vein of those obtained by E. Kamei [6, 7].

We consider a general nonselfadjoint second order scalar operator in planar domain such that one of the boundary components is obtained by an arbitrary irregular curving under assumption amplitude small. The Dirichlet or Neumann condition imposed on perturbed component, and remaining part boundary. prove norm resolvent convergence operators, estimate rate two norms, spectrum operators. In selfa...
