Convex sets of completely positive maps and positive semidefinite kernels are considered in the most general context of modules over $C^*$-algebras and a complete charaterization of their extreme points is obtained. As a byproduct, we…

We generalize Lempert's and Poletsky's works on the description of extremal discs for the Kobayashi metric to a higher order setting.

We give a geometric characterization of extremal sets in ell_p spaces that generalizes our previous result for such sets in Hilbert spaces.

We present a general characterization of k-positivity for a positive map in terms of the estimation of the Ky Fan norm of the matrix constructed from the Kraus operators of the associated completely positive map. Combining this with the…

We study $k$-positive linear maps on matrix algebras and address two problems, (i) characterizations of $k$-positivity and (ii) generation of non-decomposable $k$-positive maps. On the characterization side, we derive optimization-based…

We show that each positive map from B(K) to B(H) with K and H finite dimensional Hilbert spaces is a scalar multiple of a map of the form $Tr - \psi$ with $\psi$ completely positive. This is used to give necessary and sufficient conditions…

We study $K$-positivity preservers with given closed $K\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$, i.e., linear maps $T:\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]\to\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ such that $T\mathrm{Pos}(K)\subseteq\mathrm{Pos}(K)$ holds, and their generators…

We introduce a real-parameter refinement of the classical integer hierarchies underlying Schmidt number, block-positivity, and $k$-positivity for maps between matrix algebras. Starting from a compact family of $\alpha$-admissible unit…

For positive integers $n>k>t$ let $\binom{[n]}{k}$ denote the collection of all $k$-subsets of the standard $n$-element set $[n]=\{1,\ldots,n\}$. Subsets of $\binom{[n]}{k}$ are called $k$-graphs. A $k$-graph $\mathcal{F}$ is called…

We will consider completely positive maps defined on tensor products of von Neumann algebras and taking values in the algebra of bounded operators on a Hilbert space and particularly certain convex subsets of the set of such maps. We show…

We give a characterization of extremal sets in Hilbert spaces that generalizes a classical theorem of H. W. E. Jung. We investigate also the behaviour of points near to the circumsphere of such a set with respect to the Kuratowski and…

This article proves the existence of completely positive quasimultiplicative maps from the group algebra of imprimitive reflection groups to the set of bounded operators, and uses those linear maps to define creation and annihilation…

In this paper we consider the unbounded local completely positive and local completely contractive maps on maximal tensor product of unital locally C*-algebras and discuss on extremal points of certain convex subsets in the set of such…

Let $K=\mathbb Q(\sqrt D)$ be a real quadratic field. We consider the additive semigroup $\mathcal O_K^+(+)$ of totally positive integers in $K$ and determine its generators (indecomposable integers) and relations; they can be nicely…

We shall present an elementary approach to extremal decompositions of (quantum) covariance matrices determined by densities. We give a new proof on former results and provide a sharp estimate of the ranks of the densities that appear in the…

We give a moment map interpretation of some relatively balanced metrics. As an application, we extend a result of S. K. Donaldson on constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metrics to the case of extremal metrics. Namely, we show that a given…

The paper is devoted to the problem of classification of extremal positive maps acting between $B(K)$ and $B(H)$ where $K$ and $H$ are Hilbert spaces. It is shown that every positive map with the property that $\rank \phi(P)\leq 1$ for any…

Let L/K be an extension of absolutely abelian number fields of equal conductor, n. The image of the ring of integers of L under the trace map from L to K is an ideal in the ring of integers in K. We compute the absolute norm of this ideal…

This paper is devoted to present two counterexamples to the theorem from \cite{MK} Maria R., Katherine T. M., Bernardo S. M., Extremal graphs with bounded vertex bipartiteness number, Linear Algebra Appl. 493 (2016) 28-36. Moreover, the…

We present news proofs of the additivity, resolution and cofinality theorems for the algebraic $K$-theory of exact categories. These proofs are entirely algebraic, based on Grayson's presentation of higher algebraic $K$-groups via binary…
