The completely positive maps, a generalization of the nonnegative matrices, are a well-studied class of maps from $n\times n$ matrices to $m\times m$ matrices. The existence of the operator analogues of doubly stochastic scalings of…

We survey a few strengthenings and generalizations of the Combinatorial Nullstellensatz of Alon and the Schwartz-Zippel Lemma. These lemmas guarantee the existence of (a certain number of) nonzeros of a multivariate polynomial when the…

We generalize the positivity conjecture on (Kauffman bracket) skein algebras to Roger--Yang skein algebras. To generalize it, we use explicit polynomials like Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind to give candidates of positive bases.…

We prove a Fej\'er-Riesz type factorization for positive matrix-valued noncommutative trigonometric polynomials on $\mathscr{W}\times\mathfrak{Y}$, where $\mathscr{W}$ is either the free semigroup $\langle x \rangle_g$ or the free product…

We consider polynomials on the intersection of the closed positive orthant with the height-$1$ level hypersurface of certain polynomials with positive coefficients. We show that any polynomial strictly positive on such a semi-algebraic set…

We introduce Artinian Gorenstein algebras defined by the face posets of regular polyhedra. We consider the strong Lefschetz property and Hodge--Riemann relation for the algebras. We show the strong Lefschetz property of the algebras for all…

Our purpose in this note is to investigate the order properties of positive operators from a locally convex space into its conjugate dual. We introduce a natural generalization of the Busch-Gudder strength function and we prove Kadison's…

The classical Perron-Frobenius theory asserts that an irreducible matrix $A$ has cyclic peripheral spectrum and its spectral radius $r(A)$ is an eigenvalue corresponding to a positive eigenvector. In Radjavi (1999) and Radjavi and Rosenthal…

This paper is devoted to the generalization of the theory of total positivity. We say that a linear operator A in R^n is generalized totally positive (GTP), if its jth exterior power preserves a proper cone K_j in the corresponding space…

We present a Riesz integral representation theory in which functions, operators and measures take values in uniform commutative monoids (a commutative monoid with a uniformity making the binary operation of the monoid uniformly continuous).…

For a field of characteristic $\ne 2$ we study vector spaces that are graded by the weight lattice of a root system, and are endowed with linear operators in each simple root direction. We show that these data extend to a graded semisimple…

In this paper we initiate the study of real operator monotonicity for functions of tuples of operators, which are multivariate structured maps with a functional calculus called free functions that preserve the order between real parts (or…

We derive Paschke's GNS construction for completely positive maps on unital pro-C*-algebras from the KSGNS construction, presented by M. Joita [J. London Math. Soc. {\bf 66} (2002), 421--432], and then we deduce an analogue of Stinespring…

In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a bounded linear operator $T$ to be generalized Drazin-Riesz invertible or generalized Drazin-meromorphic invertible. Also, we study generalized Browder's theorem and generalized…

Let $X$ be an Archimedean vector lattice. We investigate subalgebras of $\mathscr{L}(X)$ consisting of regular operators that contain all rank-one operators of the form $a \otimes \varphi_b$, where $a$ and $b$ are atoms of $X$ and…

The work of Adler provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the Wronskian of a given sequence of eigenfunctions of Schr\"odinger's equation to have constant sign in its domain of definition. We extend this result by giving explicit…

We study the problem of extending a positive-definite operator-valued kernel, defined on words of a fixed finite length from a free semigroup, to a global kernel defined on all words. We show that if the initial kernel satisfies a natural…

We generalize the Arzel\`a-Ascoli theorem to the setting of matrix order unit spaces, extending the work of Antonescu-Christensen on unital C*-algebras. This gives an affirmative answer to a question of Antonescu and Christensen.

This paper introduces state polynomials, i.e., polynomials in noncommuting variables and formal states of their products. A state analog of Artin's solution to Hilbert's 17th problem is proved showing that state polynomials, positive over…

Let $A\in\mathcal{B}(X)$, $B\in\mathcal{B}(Y)$ and $C\in\mathcal{B}(Y,X)$ where $X$ and $Y$ are infinite Banach or Hilbert spaces. Let $M_{C}=\begin{pmatrix} A & C\cr 0 & B \end{pmatrix}$ be $2\times 2$ upper triangular operator matrix…
