Denote by $M_n$ the set of $n\times n$ complex matrices. Let $f: M_n \rightarrow [0,\infty)$ be a continuous map such that $f(\mu UAU^*)= f(A)$ for any complex unit $\mu$, $A \in M_n$ and unitary $U \in M_n$, $f(X)=0$ if and only if $X=0$…
We study several classes of general non-linear positive maps between C*-algebras, which are not necessary completely positive maps. We characterize the class of the compositions of *-multiplicative maps and positive linear mapsas the class…
A linear map between real symmetric matrix spaces is positive if all positive semidefinite matrices are mapped to positive semidefinite ones. A real symmetric matrix is separable if it can be written as a summation of Kronecker products of…
It is proven that a certain class of positive maps in the matrix algebra $M_n$ consists of optimal maps, i.e. maps from which one cannot subtract any completely positive map without loosing positivity. This class provides a generalization…

We study associative multiplications in semi-simple associative algebras over C compatible with the usual one or, in other words, linear deformations of semi-simple associative algebras over C. It turns out that these deformations are in…
We describe the structure of all bijective maps on the cone of positive definite operators acting on a finite and at least two-dimensional complex Hilbert space which preserve the quantum $\chi_\alpha^2$-divergence for some $\alpha \in…
We determine the structure of linear maps on complex (real) square matrices sending unitary (orthogonal) matrices to multiples of unitary (orthogonal) matrices. The result is used to determine the linear preservers of matrix pairs…
The iteration of rational maps is well-understood in dimension 1 but less so in higher dimensions. We study some maps on spaces of matrices which present a weak complexity with respect to the ring structure. First we give some properties of…
For an arbitrary Dirac-harmonic map $(\phi,\psi)$ between compact oriented Riemannian surfaces, we shall study the zeros of $|\psi|$. With the aid of Bochner-type formulas, we explore the relationship between the order of the zeros of…
We analyze bipartite matrices and linear maps between matrix algebras, which are respectively, invariant and covariant, under the diagonal unitary and orthogonal groups' actions. By presenting an expansive list of examples from the…
Semipositive matrices (matrices that map at least one nonnegative vector to a positive vector) and minimally semipositive matrices (semipositive matrices whose no column-deleted submatrix is semipositive) are well studied in matrix theory.…
We show how positive unital linear maps can be used to obtain some bounds for the eigenvalues of nonnegative matrices.
In this paper we introduce elements of algebraic geometry over an arbitrary algebraic structure. We prove Unification Theorems which gather the description of coordinate algebras by several ways.
We study the maps between topological spaces whose composition with Baire class $\alpha$ maps also belongs to the $\alpha$'th Baire class and give characterizations of such maps
Let $\mathscr{A}$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra and let $\Phi: \mathscr{A} \to {\mathbb B}({\mathscr H})$ be a unital $n$-positive linear map between $C^*$-algebras for some $n \geq 3$. We show that $$\|\Phi(AB)-\Phi(A)\Phi(B)\| \leq…
We initiate a study of linear maps on $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ that have the property that they factor through a tracial von Neumann algebra $(\mathcal{A,\tau})$ via operators $Z\in M_n(\mathcal{A})$ whose entries consist of positive elements from…
We investigate linear maps between matrix algebras that remain positive under tensor powers, i.e., under tensoring with $n$ copies of themselves. Completely positive and completely co-positive maps are trivial examples of this kind. We show…
We compare a piecewise linear map with constant slope beta>1 and a piecewise linear map with constant slope -beta. These maps are called the positive and negative beta-transformations. We show that for a certain set of beta's, the…
There are fairly large families of unitarily inequivalent complete sets of N+1 mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in C^N for various prime powers N. The number of such sets is not bounded above by any polynomial as a function of N. While it is…
