<p>1)You look into the book "Noncommutative Dynamics and E0 semigroups" by William Arveson 2) There is an approach to attack multivariate operator theory through algebraic geometry.You may look to "Operator Theory and Complex Geometry" by douglas for an introduction 3)You may look into brown,douglas,fillimore's paper in essential normality and K-Homology which was a precursor to connes approach 4)or look into connes's book</p>

<p>Dear mathematicians, I want to know how much advance there has been in complex dynamics of several variables. I am at present reading Carleson's book on Complex Dynamics on one variables.Curious to know about several variables case.t Specifically,what are the best papers in this area.</p>

<p>"This was until a beautiful ‘index-theoretic’ characterisation of quasitriangularity was obtained by Apostol, Foias and Voiculescu, which had the unexpected consequence that if an operator or its adjoint is not quasitriangular, then it has a non-trivial invariant subspace" A Glimpse at Hilbert Space Operators :Paul R. Halmos in Memoriam by Sheldon Axler ,Peter Rosenthal,Donald Sarason</p> <p>Can this be used to say something on the invariant subspace problem(I mean translating it to an equivalent form). The only problematic thing here is that the subspace is "not" closed.Otherwise,it would have already given a nice equivalent form.</p>

<p>if f is in $H^{1}$ the Hardy space with integrable norm, and if f is not identically zero, then the zeroes of f (certainly countable in number) satisfy the Blaschke condition.Can any "Blaschke condition" be defined if hardy space is considered on the upper-half plane instead of unit disk. Curious to know if this carries over by the conformal equivalence that maps upper-half plane to unit disk and vice-versa.</p>

<p>What are some of the spectacular applications of functional analysis to apparently unrelated problems.One that comes to my mind is Per Enflo's resolution of Hilbert's 5th problem.There are also reformulations of RH in Hilbert Space.I would be happly to hear about it's nice applications in geometry,number theory,topology,etc. specially in context to solving conjectures.</p>

<p>"Ramanujan credited his acumen to his family Goddess, Namagiri of Namakkal. He looked to her for inspiration in his work,[84] and claimed to dream of blood drops that symbolised her male consort, Narasimha, after which he would receive visions of scrolls of complex mathematical content unfolding before his eyes.[85] He often said, "An equation for me has no meaning, unless it represents a thought of God." from wiki. Mendeleev discovered periodic table in his dream. has there been any other such recorded incidences.I find it quite amazing how one could dream such complicated formulas in dream. I myself have had dreams on mathematics but never was it that I discovered something new.So I am curious to know.Do people here have had such experiences.I would be glad if they share their experiences. Since some of the best minds of mathematics are here,I bate there would be quite a people who can contribute.</p> <p>I am not sure by the way if this question is appropriate for this forum.</p>

<p>How much has been the group of diffeomorphisms of a manifold " been studied. I got this information from wiki. " Quite a lot is known about the group of diffeomorphisms of the circle. Its Lie algebra is (more or less) the Witt algebra, which has a central extension called the Virasoro algebra, used in string theory and conformal field theory. Very little is known about the diffeomorphism groups of manifolds of larger dimension. The diffeomorphism group of spacetime sometimes appears in attempts to quantize gravity." </p> <p>.What more is known about this?Has this group been calculated for the standard manifolds.Since this group is a big group,so what are the better ways of studying this object.</p>

<p>The classification theorem of closed surfaces states that any connected closed surface is homeomorphic to some member of one of these three families: the $sphere$; the connected sum of $ g $ $tori$, ; the connected sum of $ k $ $real$ $projective$ $planes $. this is a simple example of the trichotomy.sphere can be taken as $ 0 $ tori. so $SPHERE$ serves the middle column. </p>

<p>While searching through Mathoverflow, I found out a fourier analytic proof of the Isoperimetric Inequality.Also, by google search I found a fourier analytic proof of Quadratic Reciprocity theorem.I know of the fourier analytic approach used by combinatorialists like Ben Green.

<p>I know that lots of effort is being put into quantization of geometry(NCG).This effort of course comes with the idea of operator algebra being a powerful machinery. Has any effort been given in the other direction.I mean to make some analogue of geometrical structures in Operator Algebras. This question may be a bit absurd and arises from one of my "RANDOM" thoughts. Precisely I mean "what are the differntial geometry ideas that are applicable in operator algebras"</p>
