Totally positive (TP) and totally nonnegative (TN) matrices connect to analysis, mechanics, and to dual canonical bases in reductive groups, by well-known works of Schoenberg, Gantmacher-Krein, Lusztig, and others. TP matrices form a…

We show that positive absolutely norm attaining operators can be characterized by a simple property of their spectra. This result clarifies and simplifies a result of Ramesh. As an application we characterize weighted shift operators which…

In this paper, we present new characterizations of normal and positive operators in terms of their powers. Among other things, we show that if $T^2$ is normal, $\mathcal{W}(T^{2k+1})$ lies on one side of a line passing through the origin…

In the current short review we present the latest developments on linear maps $T:\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]\to\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$, especially of $K$-positivity preserver, i.e., $Tp\geq 0$ on $K\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ for all…

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…

This article explores the relationship between Garding cones, demonstrating that the shift cone $\overline{\Gamma}^{+}_{2}(\alpha)$ is contained in $\overline{\mathcal{P}}_{m}$. By combining these results with the study of positivity…

We generalize a preceding simple proof of the Jamiolkowski criterion to check whether a given linear map between algebras of operators is completely positive or not. The generalization is performed to embrace all algebras of Hilbert-Schmidt…

A rectangular matrix is called totally positive, if all its minors are positive. A point of a real Grassmanian manifold $G_{l,m}$ of $l$-dimensional subspaces in $\mathbb R^m$ is called strictly totally positive, if one can normalize its…

Differentially positive systems are the nonlinear systems whose linearization along trajectories preserves a cone field on a smooth Riemannian manifold. One of the embryonic forms for cone fields in reality is originated from the general…

Operator systems connect operator algebra, free semialgebraic geometry and quantum information theory. In this work we generalize operator systems and many of their theorems. While positive semidefinite matrices form the underlying…

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…

This article is a contribution to the spectral theory of so-called eventually positive operators, i.e.\ operators $T$ which may not be positive but whose powers $T^n$ become positive for large enough $n$. While the spectral theory of such…

Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. We study a generalization of the notion of G-complete reducibility in the context of Steinberg endomorphisms of G. Our…

We show that, on a standard non-atomic probability space, invertible measure-preserving transformations form a dense $G_\delta$ subset of the space of all measure-preserving transformations endowed with the strong (=weak) operator topology.…

The theory of total positivity for reductive groups is here extended to the case of symmetric spaces.

We prove that the only entrywise transforms of rectangular matrices which preserve total positivity or total non-negativity are either constant or linear. This follows from an extended classification of preservers of these two properties…

We introduce the concept of completely positive roots of completely positive maps on operator algebras. We do this in different forms: as asymptotic roots, proper discrete roots and as continuous one-parameter semigroups of roots. We…

For a class of semilinear elliptic equations, we establish criteria that guarantee that the linearized operator associated with a solution satisfies certain spectral assumptions that are widely used in the analysis of the stability of…

It is shown that a positive (bounded linear) operator on a Hilbert space with trivial kernel is unitarily equivalent to a Hankel operator that satisfies double positivity condition if and only if it is non-invertible and has simple spectrum…

We define the notion of the generic state polytope, analogous to the generic initial ideal and prove its existence: This greatly generalizes the work of R\"omer and Schmitz who proved the existence of generic Gr\"ober fans. We also show…
