Corners of multidimensional numerical ranges

Abstract: The

n

-dimensional numerical range of a densely defined linear operator

T

on a complex Hilbert space

H

is the set of vectors in

C^{n}

of the form

(< T e_{1}, e_{1} >, ..., < T e_{n}, e_{n} >)

, where

e_{1}, ..., e_{n}

is an orthonormal system in

H

, consisting of vectors from the domain of

T

. We prove that the components of every corner point of the

n

-dimensional numerical range are eigenvalues of

T

.
