We provide a characterisation of Schur multiplicative maps on both finite and infinite dimensional matrix spaces, and show that every surjective Schur multiplicative contraction is automatically an isometry. We also generalise this result…

A subset P of N x N is called Schur bounded if every infinite matrix with bounded entries which is zero off of P yields a bounded Schur multiplier on B(H). Such sets are characterized as being the union of a subset with at most k entries in…

We define the Schur multipliers of a separable von Neumann algebra M with Cartan masa A, generalising the classical Schur multipliers of $B(\ell^2)$. We characterise these as the normal A-bimodule maps on M. If M contains a direct summand…

Let X be a homogeneous tree of degree q+1 (for q between 2 and infinity) and let f be a complex function on X times X for which f(x,y) only depend on the distance between x and y in X. Our main result gives a necessary and sufficient…

We introduce partially defined Schur multipliers and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of extensions to fully defined positive Schur multipliers, in terms of operator systems canonically associated with their…

An explicit formula for the Schur multiplier of the group of unitriangular matrices over products of cyclic rings $\ZZ/m\ZZ$ and $\ZZ$ is derived. We use it to provide presentations of the corresponding covering groups and touch upon the…

Measures with values in the set of sesquilinear forms on a subspace of a Hilbert space are of interest in quantum mechanics, since they can be interpreted as observables with only a restricted set of possible measurement preparations. In…

We give a characterisation of radial Schur multipliers on finite products of trees. The equivalent condition is that a certain generalised Hankel matrix involving the discrete derivatives of the radial function is a trace class operator.…

Let D be a masa in B(H) where H is a separable Hilbert space. We find real numbers \eta_0 < \eta_1 < \eta_2 < ... < \eta_6 so that for every bounded, normal D-bimodule map {\Phi} on B(H) either ||\Phi|| > \eta_6, or ||\Phi|| = \eta_k for…

In this paper we compare various classes of Schur multipliers: classical matrix Schur multipliers, discrete Schur multipliers, Schur multipliers with respect to measures and Schur multipliers with respect to spectral measures. The main…

A Schur multiplier is a linear map on matrices which acts on its entries by multiplication with some function, called the symbol. We consider idempotent Schur multipliers, whose symbols are indicator functions of smooth Euclidean domains.…

In this paper, using a relationship between the Schur multiplier of a group $G$, the fundamental group, and the second homology group of the Eilenberg-MacLane space of $G$, we present new proofs for some famous properties of the Schur…

We define a map from second quandle homology to the Schur multiplier and examine its properties. Furthermore, we express the second homology of Alexander quandles in terms of exterior algebras. Additionally, we present a self-contained…

Similar to works of G. Ellis (1998), the concept of covering pair of Lie algebras is defined. Also, we show the existence of covering pair for the pair of Lie algebras (L,N) and then show that every crossed module is a homomorphic image of…

A linear map $u\colon \ E\to F$ between operator spaces is called completely co-bounded if it is completely bounded as a map from $E$ to the opposite of $F$. We give several simple results about completely co-bounded Schur multipliers on…

In this paper, we will consider matrices with entries in the space of operators $\mathcal{B}(H)$, where $H$ is a separable Hilbert space, and consider the class of (left or right) Schur multipliers that can be approached in the multiplier…

We present a formula for the Schur multiplier norm of a complex self-adjoint matrix, and a formula for the norm, which is dual to the Schur multiplier norm, of a self-adjoint matrix. For a complex self-adjoint $n \times n $ matrix $X$ we…

Grothendieck's inequalities for operators and bilinear forms imply some factorization results for complex m x n matrices. Based on the theory of operator spaces and completely bounded mappings we present norm optimal versions of these…

The Schur product of two complex m x n matrices is their entry wise product. We show that an extremal element X in the convex set of m x n complex matrices of Schur multiplier norm at most 1 satisfies the inequality rank(X) =< (m +n)^(1/2)…

In this article, we investigate the Schur multiplier of the special linear group $\mathrm{SL}_2(A)$ over finite commutative local rings $A$. We prove that the Schur multiplier of these groups is isomorphic to the $K$-group $K_2(A)$ whenever…
