Research interests

Shalits_NahalKelahMay2017

My research interests have always been primarily in analysis, and are usually in and around the fields of operator algebras and operator theory.

Currently I am involved with projects on

  • Multivariable operator theory (dilation theory, matrix ranges and matrix convexity, model theory, noncommutative function theory,  noncommutative varieties)
  • Completely positive maps and semigroups (interpolation of CP maps, dilations, product systems, superprodcut systems and subproduct systems, C* and von Neumann correspondences)
  • Operator systems, non-selfadjoint operator algebras and C*-algebras (algebras of noncommutative functions, abstract dilation theory, C*-envelopes, hyperrigidity, isomorphisms)
  • Hilbert spaces and algebras of holomorphic functions (classical as well as noncommutative) and operators that act on them (RKHS, multiplier algebras) 

The main line of research I do currently is supported by the following research grants:

  1. ISF Research Grant No. 431/20 (2020 — 2024) proposal.
