Let $X$ be bipartite mixed graph and for a unit complex number $\alpha$, $H_\alpha$ be its $\alpha$-hermitian adjacency matrix. If $X$ has a unique perfect matching, then $H_\alpha$ has a hermitian inverse $H_\alpha^{-1}$. In this paper we…

We prove the linearity and injectivity of two maps $\phi_1$ and $\phi_2$ on certain subsets of $M_n$ that satisfy $\operatorname{tr}(\phi_1(A)\phi_2(B))=\operatorname{tr}(AB)$. We apply it to characterize maps $\phi_i:\mathcal{S}\to…

We call a function $f: X\to Y$ $P$-preserving if, for every subspace $A \subset X$ with property $P$, its image $f(A)$ also has property $P$. Of course, all continuous maps are both compactness- and connectedness-preserving and the natural…

Let $A$ and $B$ be unital semisimple commutative Banach algebras and $T$ a map from the invertible group $A^{-1}$ onto $B^{-1}$. Linearity and multiplicativity of the map are not assumed. We consider the hypotheses on $T$: (1) $\sigma…

The paper gives a thorough introduction to spectra of digraphs via its Hermitian adjacency matrix. This matrix is indexed by the vertices of the digraph, and the entry corresponding to an arc from $x$ to $y$ is equal to the complex unity…

This paper combines two ingredients in order to get a rather surprising result on one of the most studied, elegant and powerful tools for solving convex feasibility problems, the method of alternating projections (MAP). Going back to names…

We study stable subspaces of positive extremal maps of finite dimensional matrix algebras that preserve trace and matrix identity (so-called bistochastic maps). We have established the existence of the isometric-sweeping decomposition for…

Suppose a map $\phi$ on the set of positive definite matrices satisfies $\det(A+B)=\det(\phi(A)+\phi(B))$. Then we have $${\rm tr}(AB^{-1}) = {\rm tr}(\phi(A){\phi(B)}^{-1}).$$ Through this viewpoint, we show that $\phi$ is of the form…

We study lightlikeness preserving mappings from the $4$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime $\mathcal{M}_4$ to itself under no additional regularity assumptions like continuity, surjectivity, or injectivity. We prove that such a mapping $\phi$…

By using a similar pattern of arguments, we show that in three categories the collection of isomorphisms forms a residual subset of the space of morphisms. We first consider surjective continuous mappings on Cantor spaces. Next, we look at…

Guardian maps are scalar maps that vanish when a matrix or polynomial is on the verge of stability. Several guardian maps have been proposed in the literature for Hurwitz stability based on the Kronecker sum, the second lower Schl\"aflian…

We describe for any Riemannian manifold a certain infinitesimal neighbourhood of the diagonal. Semi-conformal maps are analyzed as those that preserve such neighbourhoods; harmonic maps are analyzed as those that preserve mirror image…

In this paper we will look at the well known interlacing problem, but here we consider the result for Hermitian matrices in the Minkowski space, an indefinite inner product space with one negative square. More specific, we consider the…

This note is concerned with isometries on the spaces of self-adjoint traceless matrices. We compute the group of isometries with respect to any unitary similarity invariant norm. This completes and extends the result of Nagy on Schatten…

This paper considers homogeneous order preserving continuous maps on the normal cone of an ordered normed vector space. It is shown that certain operators of that kind which are not necessarily compact themselves but have a compact power…

The adjacency matrices of graphs form a special subset of the set of all integer symmetric matrices. The description of which graphs have all their eigenvalues in the interval [-2,2] (i.e., those having spectral radius at most 2) has been…

We give a characterization of distance--preserving subgraphs of Johnson graphs, i.e. of graphs which are isometrically embeddable into Johnson graphs (the Johnson graph $J(m,\Lambda)$ has the subsets of cardinality $m$ of a set $\Lambda$ as…

We propose a new notion called \emph{infinity-harmonic maps}between Riemannain manifolds. These are natural generalizations of the well known notion of infinity harmonic functions and are also the limiting case of $p$% -harmonic maps as…

Let $H$ and $K$ be two complex inner product spaces with dim$(X)\geq 2$. We prove that for each non-zero additive mapping $A:H \to K$ with dense image the following statements are equivalent: $(a)$ $A$ is (complex) linear or…

We give a structural characterisation of linear operators from one $C^\ast$% -algebra into another whose adjoints map extreme points of the dual ball onto extreme points. We show that up to a $\ast$-isomorphism, such a map admits of a…
