A connection is a binary operation for positive operators satisfying the monotonicity, the transformer inequality and the joint-continuity from above. A mean is a normalized connection. In this paper, we show that there is a one-to-one…
An axiomatic theory of operator connections and operator means was investigated by Kubo and Ando in 1980. A connection is a binary operation for positive operators satisfying the monotonicity, the transformer inequality and the…
An operator mean is a binary operation assigned to each pair of positive operators satisfying monotonicity, continuity from above, the transformer inequality and the fixed-point property. It is well known that there are one-to-one…
An operator connection is a binary operation assigned to each pair of positive operators satisfying monotonicity, continuity from above and the transformer inequality. In this paper, we introduce and characterize the concepts of…
The seminal work of Kubo and Ando from 1980 provided us with an axiomatic approach to means of positive operators. As most of their axioms are algebraic in nature, this approach has a clear algebraic flavor. On the other hand, it is highly…
In \cite{molnar} L.~Molnar studied the question of whether the L\"owner partial order on the positive cone of an operator algebra is determined by the norm of any arbitrary Kubo-Ando mean. He affirmatively answered the question for certain…
We demonstrate new abstract characterizations for unital and non-unital operator spaces. We characterize unital operator spaces in terms of the cone of accretive operators (operators whose real part is positive). Defining the gauge of an…
If $\sigma$ is a symmetric mean and $f$ is an operator monotone function on $[0, \infty)$, then $$f(2(A^{-1}+B^{-1})^{-1})\le f(A\sigma B)\le f((A+B)/2).$$ Conversely, Ando and Hiai showed that if $f$ is a function that satisfies either one…
For positive definite matrices $A$ and $B$, the Kubo-Ando matrix power mean is defined as $$ P_\mu(p, A, B) = A^{1/2}\left(\frac{1+(A^{-1/2}BA^{-1/2})^p}{2}\right )^{1/p} A^{1/2}\quad (p \ge 0). $$ In this paper, for $0\le p \le 1 \le q$,…
In this paper we present some characterizations for quasi-arithmetic operator means (among them the arithmetic and harmonic means) on the positive definite cone of the full algebra of Hilbert space operators, and also for the Kubo-Ando…
In this paper we consider power means of positive Hilbert space operators both in the conventional and in the Kubo-Ando senses. We describe the corresponding isomorphisms (bijective transformations respecting those means as binary…
In this paper, we establish a bijection between Kubo-Ando operator means defined on the cones $\mathscr{P}_{n}(\mathbb{H})$, $\mathscr{P}_{2n}(\mathbb{C})$, and $\mathscr{P}_{4n}(\mathbb{R})$. This correspondence is induced by the canonical…
In this article we consider means of positive bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space. We present a complete theory that provides a framework which extends the theory of the Karcher mean, its approximating matrix power means, and a…
The Kubo-Ando theory deals with connections for positive bounded operators. On the other hand, in various analysis related to von Neumann algebras it is impossible to avoid unbounded operators. In this article we try to extend a notion of…
We investigate the relationship between mapping cones and matrix ordered *-vector spaces (i.e., abstract operator systems). We show that to every mapping cone there is an associated operator system on the space of n-by-n complex matrices,…
We provide a complete characterization of a subclass of weakly associative means of positive operators in the class of symmetric Kubo-Ando means. This class, which includes the geometric mean, was first introduced and studied in L.…
We introduce the notions of in-betweenness and monotonicity with respect to a metric, for operator means. These notions can be seen as generalising their natural counterpart for scalar means, and as a relaxation of the notion of geodesity.…
There are various notions of positivity for matrices and linear matrix-valued maps that play important roles in quantum information theory. The cones of positive semidefinite matrices and completely positive linear maps, which represent…
In this paper, we obtain a new class of functions, which is developed via the Hermite--Hadamard inequality for convex functions. The well-known one-one correspondence between the class of operator monotone functions and operator connections…
Let $S$ be a complete operator system with a generating cone; i.e. $S_\sa = S_+ - S_+$. We show that there is a matrix norm on the dual space $S^*$, under which, and the usual dual matrix cone, $S^*$ becomes a dual operator system with a…
