Given a function $f: (a,b) \rightarrow \mathbb{R},$ L\"owner's theorem states $f$ is monotone when extended to self-adjoint matrices via the functional calculus, if and only if $f$ extends to a self-map of the complex upper half plane. In…

We prove generalizations of L\"owner's results on matrix monotone functions to several variables. We give a characterization of when a function of $d$ variables is locally monotone on $d$-tuples of commuting self-adjoint $n$-by-$n$…

In this paper we establish a multivariable non-commutative generalization of L\"owner's classical theorem from 1934 characterizing operator monotone functions as real functions admitting analytic continuation mapping the upper complex…

The operator monotone functions defined in the positive half-line are of particular importance. We give a version of the theory in which integral representations for these functions can be established directly without invoking L\"owner's…

We adapt the "royal road" method used to simplify automatic analyticity theorems in noncommutative function theory to several complex variables. We show that certain families of functions must be real analytic if they have certain nice…

Recent studies in Kubo-Ando theory make frequent use of the relationship between Kubo-Ando connections and positive operator monotone functions. This relationship is deeply connected to L\"owner's theorem and our aim is to provide a…

It was shown classically that matrix monotone and matrix convex functions must be real analytic by L\"owner and Kraus respectively. Recently, various analogues have been found in several noncommuting variables. We develop a general…

We give new characterizations for matrix monotonicity and convexity of fixed order which connects previous characterizations by Loewner, Dobsch, Donoghue, Kraus and Bendat--Sherman. The ideas introduced are then used to characterize matrix…

We prove the (generalized) principal pivot transform is matrix monotone, in the sense of the L\"owner ordering, under minimal hypotheses. This improves on the recent results of J. E. Pascoe and R. Tully-Doyle, Monotonicity of the principal…

The matrix convexity and the matrix monotony of a real $C^1$ function $f$ on $(0,\infty)$ are characterized in terms of the conditional negative or positive definiteness of the Loewner matrices associated with $f$, $tf(t)$, and $t^2f(t)$.…

We generalize Loewner's method for proving that matrix monotone functions are operator monotone. The relation x \leq y on bounded operators is our model for a definition for C*-relations of being residually finite dimensional. Our main…

We propose a notion of operator monotonicity for functions of several variables, which extends the well known notion of operator monotonicity for functions of only one variable. The notion is chosen such that a fundamental relationship…

We generalize the phenomenon of continuation from complex anal- ysis to locally operator monotone functions. Along the lines of the egde-of- the-wedge theorem, we prove continuations exist dependent only on geometric features of the domain…

The new notion of operator/matrix $k$-tone functions is introduced, which is a higher order extension of operator/matrix monotone and convex functions. Differential properties of matrix $k$-tone functions are shown. Characterizations,…

The classical Loewner's theorem states that operator monotone functions on real intervals are described by holomorphic functions on the upper half-plane. We characterize local order isomorphisms on operator domains by biholomorphic…

We simplify the proof of some widely used theoretical theorems, extending their applicability, while correcting some erroneous results. We also generalize key results and present new results that contribute to the development of the theory.…

We construct a version of kneading theory for families of monotonous functions on the real line. The generality of the setup covers two classical results from Milnor-Thurston's kneading theory: the first one is to dynamically characterise…

We prove the following results: let x,y be (n,n) complex matrices such that x,y,xy have no eigenvalue in ]-infinity,0] and log(xy)=log(x)+log(y). If n=2, or if n>2 and x,y are simultaneously triangularizable, then x,y commute. In both cases…

Recently, Lobb and Nijhoff initiated the study of variational (Lagrangian) structure of discrete integrable systems from the perspective of multi-dimensional consistency. In the present work, we follow this line of research and develop a…
