We introduce the notion of one-sided mapping cones of positive linear maps between matrix algebras. These are convex cones of maps that are invariant under compositions by completely positive maps from either the left or right side. The…
This is an introduction to quantum algebra, from a geometric perspective. The classical spaces $X$, such as the Lie groups, homogeneous spaces, or more general manifolds, are described by various algebras $A$, defined over various fields…
We construct a class of positive linear maps on matrix algebras. We find conditions when these maps are atomic, decomposable and completely positive. We obtain a large class of atomic positive linear maps. As applications in quantum…
We study some examples when there is actually an equality in the linear algebra bound. When the vectors considered span in fact the entire space. We would like to point out that in some cases this provides some interesting extra information…
A key notion bridging the gap between {\it quantum operator algebras} \cite{LZ10} and {\it vertex operator algebras} \cite{Bor}\cite{FLM} is the definition of the commutativity of a pair of quantum operators (see section 2 below). This is…
Orbits of coadjoint representations of classical compact Lie groups have a lot of applications. They appear in representation theory, geometrical quantization, theory of magnetism, quantum optics etc. As geometric objects the orbits were…
The boundary of a numerical range of a finite matrix is always a nice curve (algebraic, closed and simple), but the equation it satisfies is often very complicated. We will show that, furthermore, there is no hope of describing these curves…
We investigate some geometric properties of the real algebraic variety $\Delta$ of symmetric matrices with repeated eigenvalues. We explicitly compute the volume of its intersection with the sphere and prove a Eckart-Young-Mirsky-type…
For the family of the orthogonal quantum matrix algebras we investigate the structure of their characteristic subalgebras -- special commutative subalgebras, which for the subfamily of the reflection equation algebras appear to be central.…
A general definition of a linear connection in noncommutative geometry has been recently proposed. Two examples are given of linear connections in noncommutative geometries which are based on matrix algebras. They both possess a unique…
The general expression of the angular distance between two point sources as measured by an arbitrary observer is given. The modelling presented here is rigorous, covariant and valid in any space-time. The sources of light may be located at…
Given two sets of basis vectors in n-dimensional space, there exists a relation between their lengths and mutual angles, expressed as relations between the two metric matrices and the mixed matrix. In this paper these relations are given,…
In this paper we try to define the higher dimensional analogues of vertex algebras. In other words we define algebras which we hope have the same relation to higher dimensional quantum field theories that vertex algebras have to one…
We show how the Riemannian distance on $\mathbb{S}^n_{++}$, the cone of $n\times n$ real symmetric or complex Hermitian positive definite matrices, may be used to naturally define a distance between two such matrices of different…
We define a special network that exhibits the large embeddings in any class of similar algebras. With the aid of this network, we introduce a notion of distance that conceivably counts the minimum number of dissimilarities, in a sense,…
In these lectures we discuss some elementary concepts in connection with the theory of symmetric spaces applied to ensembles of random matrices. We review how the relationship between random matrix theory and symmetric spaces can be used in…
A synaptic algebra is a generalization of the Jordan algebra of selfadjoint elements of a von Neumann algebra. We study symmetries in synaptic algebras, i.e., elements whose square is the unit element, and we investigate the equivalence…
We show that the Euclidean distance degree of a real orthogonally invariant matrix variety equals the Euclidean distance degree of its restriction to diagonal matrices. We illustrate how this result can greatly simplify calculations in…
Distance matrices are matrices whose elements are the relative distances between points located on a certain manifold. In all cases considered here all their eigenvalues except one are non-positive. When the points are uncorrelated and…
The algebraic geometry of a universal algebra $\mathbf{A}$ is defined as the collection of solution sets of term equations. Two algebras $\mathbf{A}_1$ and $\mathbf{A}_2$ are called algebraically equivalent if they have the same algebraic…
