A linear map between matrix algebras corresponds to the Choi matrix in the tensor product of two matrix algebras, whose definition depends on the matrix units. Paulsen and Shultz [J. Math. Phys. {\bf 54} (2013), 072201] considered the…

We define an extremal $(r|\chi)$-graph as an $r$-regular graph with chromatic number $\chi$ of minimum order. We show that the Tur{\' a}n graphs $T_{ak,k}$, the antihole graphs and the graphs $K_k\times K_2$ are extremal in this sense. We…

For a class of linear maps on a von Neumann factor, we associate two objects, bounded operators and trace class operators, both of which play the roles of Choi matrices. Each of them is positive if and only if the original map on the factor…

The long-root elements in Lie algebras of Chevalley type have been well studied and can be characterized as extremal elements, that is, elements $x$ such that the image of $(\ad x)^2$ lies in the subspace spanned by $x$. In this paper,…

An alternative, geometrical proof of a known theorem concerning the decomposition of positive maps of the matrix algebra $M_{2}(\mathbb{C})$ has been presented. The premise of the proof is the identification of positive maps with operators…

We develop a completely bounded counterpart to the non-commutative Choquet boundary of an operator space. We show how the class of completely bounded linear maps is too large to accommodate our purposes. To overcome this obstacle, we…

For a cycle $C_k$ on $k$ vertices, its $p$-th power, denoted $C_k^p$, is the graph obtained by adding edges between all pairs of vertices at distance at most $p$ in $C_k$. Let $\ex(n, F)$ and $\spex(n, F)$ denote the maximum possible number…

For a family $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs, let $ex(n,\mathcal{F})$ denote the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph which contains none of the members of $\mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph. A longstanding problem in extremal graph theory asks…

We prove a selection of results from different areas of extremal combinatorics, including complete or partial solutions to a number of open problems. These results, coming mainly from extremal graph theory and Ramsey theory, have been…

We will consider completely positive maps defined on tensor products of von Neumann algebras and taking values in the algebra of bounded operators on a Hilbert space and particularly certain convex subsets of the set of such maps. We show…

Convex sets of completely positive maps and positive semidefinite kernels are considered in the most general context of modules over $C^*$-algebras and a complete charaterization of their extreme points is obtained. As a byproduct, we…

In 2008, Chen and Chv\'atal conjectured that in every finite metric space of $n$ points, there are at least $n$ distinct lines, or the whole set of points is a line. This is a generalization of a classical result in the Euclidean plane. The…

In this paper, we discuss positive maps induced by (irreducibly) covariant linear operators for finite groups. The application of group theory methods allows deriving some new results of a different kind. In particular, a family of…

The joint spectral radius of a bounded set of $d \times d$ real matrices is defined to be the maximum possible exponential growth rate of products of matrices drawn from that set. For a fixed set of matrices, a sequence of matrices drawn…

Let $R$ be a polynomial ring over a field. We describe the extremal rays and the facets of the cone of local cohomology tables of finitely generated graded $R$-modules of dimension at most two. Moreover, we show that any point inside the…

We investigate a two-parameter family of linear maps on matrix algebras, constructed as diagonal perturbations of classical Tomiyama maps. Employing the Choi matrix method alongside block-positivity techniques, we derive explicit necessary…

We show that for every "locally finite" unit-preserving completely positive map P acting on a C*-algebra, there is a corresponding *-automorphism \alpha of another unital C*-algebra such that the two sequences P, P^2,P^3,... and \alpha,…

We derive the sharp vectorial Kato inequality for $p$-harmonic mappings. Surprisingly, the optimal constant differs from the one obtained for scalar valued $p$-harmonic functions by Chang, Chen, and Wei. As an application we demonstrate how…

The structure of cones of positive and k-positive maps acting on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space is investigated. Special emphasis is given to their duality relations to the sets of superpositive and k-superpositive maps. We characterize…

Let $H_{n}^{+}(\mathbb{R})$ be the cone of all positive semidefinite $n\times n$ real matrices. We describe the form of all surjective maps on $H_{n}^{+}(\mathbb{R}) $, $n\geq 3$, that preserve the minus partial order in both directions.
