For $n\ge 2$ and fixed $k\ge 1$, we study when a square matrix $A$ over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$ can be decomposed as $T+N$ where $T$ is a torsion matrix and $N$ is a nilpotent matrix with $N^k=0$. For fields of prime characteristic,…

Copositive optimization is a special case of convex conic programming, and it consists of optimizing a linear function over the cone of all completely positive matrices under linear constraints. Copositive optimization provides powerful…

In a recent article, we gave a full characterization of matrices that can be decomposed as a linear combination of two idempotents with prescribed coefficients. In this one, we use those results to improve on a recent theorem of V.…

In this expository note, we explain facial structures for the convex cones consisting of positive linear maps, completely positive linear maps, decomposable positive linear maps between matrix algebras, respectively. These will be applied…

We study the structure of the set of all possible affine hyperplane sections of a convex polytope. We present two different cell decompositions of this set, induced by hyperplane arrangements. Using our decomposition, we bound the number of…

Following an idea of Choi, we obtain a decomposition theorem for k-positive linear maps from Mm to Mn, where 2<=k<min{m,n}. As a consequence, we give an affirmative answer to Kye's conjecture (also solved independently by Choi) that every…

We give a geometric proof of the Decomposition Theorem of Beilinson, Bernstein, Deligne and Gabber for the direct image of the intersection cohomology complex under a proper map of complex algebraic varieties. The method rests on new…

A new method of analysing positive bistochastic maps on the algebra of complex matrices $M_{3}$ has been proposed. By identifying the set of such maps with a convex set of linear operators on $\mathbb{R}^{8}$, one can employ techniques from…

In order to find a suitable expression of an arbitrary square matrix over an arbitrary finite commutative ring, we prove that every such a matrix is always representable as a sum of a potent matrix and a nilpotent matrix of order at most…

We prove in this article the surjectivity of three maps. We prove in Theorem $1.6$ the surjectivity of the Chinese remainder reduction map associated to the projective space of an ideal with a given factorization into ideals whose radicals…

We show that an algebra over a cyclic operad supplied with an additional linear algebra datum called Hodge decomposition admits a minimal model whose structure maps are given in terms of summation over trees. This minimal model is unique up…

Probability maps are additive and normalised maps taking values in the unit interval of a lattice ordered Abelian group. They appear in theory of affine representations and they are also a semantic counterpart of Hajek's probability logic.…

It is well known that so called Breuer-Hall positive maps used in entanglement theory are optimal. We show that these maps possess much more subtle property --- they are exposed. As a byproduct it proves that a Robertson map in the algebra…

Suppose $k$ is a positive integer and $\mathcal{X}$ is a $k$-fold packing of the plane by infinitely many arc-connected compact sets, which means that every point of the plane belongs to at most $k$ sets. Suppose there is a function…

Both completely positive and completely copositive maps stay decomposable under tensor powers, i.e under tensoring the linear map with itself. But are there other examples of maps with this property? We show that this is not the case: Any…

We establish a factorisation theorem for invertible, cross-symmetric, totally nonnegative matrices, and illustrate the theory by verifying that certain cases of Holte's Amazing Matrix are totally nonnegative.

Topological mapping of a large physical system on a graph, and its decomposition using universal measures is proposed. We find inherent limits to the potential for optimization of a given system and its approximate representations by…

In this paper, we use the idempotent decomposition to give an explicit isomorphism from an arbitrary semisimple Artinian ring to an external direct sum of finitely many full matrix rings over division rings.

Copositive and completely positive matrices play an increasingly important role in Applied Mathematics, namely as a key concept for approximating NP-hard optimization problems. The cone of copositive matrices of a given order and the cone…

We characterise absolutely dilatable completely positive maps on the space of all bounded operators on a Hilbert space that are also bimodular over a given von Neumann algebra as rotations by a suitable unitary on a larger Hilbert space…
