This paper derives an inequality relating the p-norm of a positive 2 x 2 block matrix to the p-norm of the 2 x 2 matrix obtained by replacing each block by its p-norm. The inequality had been known for integer values of p, so the main…
One of the fundamental problems in multilinear algebra, the minimum ratio between the spectral and Frobenius norms of tensors, has received considerable attention in recent years. While most values are unknown for real and complex tensors,…
Let $w_{\lambda}(t)=(1-t^2)^{\lambda-1/2}$, $\lambda>-1/2$, be the Gegenbauer weight function, and $\Vert\cdot\Vert$ denote the associated $L_2$-norm, i.e., $$ \Vert f\Vert:=\Big(\int_{-1}^{1}w_{\lambda}(t)\vert f(t)\vert^2\,dt\Big)^{1/2}.…
We provide a coordinate-free proof that real $2 \times 2 \times 2$ rank three tensors do not have optimal rank two approximations with respect to the Frobenius norm. This result was first proved in by considering the ${\text{GL}(V^1) \times…
For self-similar sets $X,Y\subseteq \mathbb{R}$, we obtain new results towards the affine embeddings conjecture of Feng-Huang-Rao (2014), and the equivalent weak intersections conjecture. We show that the conjecture holds when the defining…
We present two sharp, closed-form empirical Bernstein inequalities for symmetric random matrices with bounded eigenvalues. By sharp, we mean that both inequalities adapt to the unknown variance in a tight manner: the deviation captured by…
Kenyon and Pemantle (2014) gave a formula for the entries of a square matrix in terms of connected principal and almost-principal minors. Each entry is an explicit Laurent polynomial whose terms are the weights of domino tilings of a half…
The distillability conjecture of two-copy 4 by 4 Werner states is one of the main open problems in quantum information. We prove two special cases of the conjecture. The first case occurs when two 4 by 4 matrices A, B are both unitarily…
In this paper we attack the Erdos-Straus conjecture by means of the structure of its solutions, extending and improving the results of a previous paper. Using previous results and supported by the works of Elsholtz and Tao and Monks and…
In this article, we obtain two interesting general inequalities concerning Riemman sums of convex functions, which in particular, sharpen Alzer's inequality and give a suitable converse for it.
We fully describe the general form of a linear (or conjugate-linear) rank metric isometry on the Murray--von Neumann algebra associated with a II$_1$-factor. As an application, we establish Frobenius' theorem in the setting of…
In this article, we present several inequalities treating operator means and the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality. In particular, we present some new comparisons between operator Heron and Heinz means, several generalizations of the difference…
In 2000, Kadell gave an orthogonality conjecture for a symmetric function generalization of the Zeilberger--Bressoud $q$-Dyson constant term identity. The non-zero part of Kadell's conjecture is a constant term identity indexed by a weak…
The aim of this article is to establish new two-functions minimax inequalities extending classical results such as Simons' minimax theorem. Our results will be proved in a non-compact setting. We also prove, under general conditions, that…
We investigate a function field analogue of a recent conjecture on autocorrelations of sums of two squares by Freiberg, Kurlberg and Rosenzweig, which generalizes an older conjecture by Connors and Keating. In particular, we provide…
Two non-commutative versions of the classical L^q(L^p) norm on the algebra of (mn)x(mn) matrices are compared. The first norm was defined recently by Carlen and Lieb, as a byproduct of their analysis of certain convex functions on matrix…
Let $n\geq C$ for a large universal constant $C>0$, and let $B$ be a convex body in $R^n$ such that for any $(x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n)\in B$, any choice of signs $\varepsilon_1,\varepsilon_2,\dots,\varepsilon_n\in\{-1,1\}$ and for any permutation…
We prove a weak-type (1,1) inequality for square functions of non-commutative martingales that are simultaneously bounded in $L^2$ and $L^1$. More precisely, the following non-commutative analogue of a classical result of Burkholder holds:…
This paper studies two classical inequalities, namely the Hausdorff-Young inequality and equal-exponent Young's convolution inequality, for discrete functions supported in the binary cube $\{0,1\}^d\subset\mathbb{Z}^d$. We characterize the…
The aim of this paper is to get a complete list of positive definite symmetric matrices with integer entries $\a&b\b&d\$ such that all complex solutions to the system of equations $1-x_1=x_1^ax_2^b\ 1-x_2=x_1^bx_2^d$ are real. This result…
