A nonzero rational number is called a cube sum if it is of form $a^3+b^3$ with $a,b\in \mathbb{Q}^\times$. In this paper, we prove that for any odd integer $k\geq 1$, there exist infinitely many cube-free odd integers $n$ with exactly $k$…

The partial transpose map is a linear map widely used quantum information theory. We study the equality condition for a matrix inequality generated by partial transpose, namely $\rank(\sum^K_{j=1} A_j^T \otimes B_j)\le K \cdot…

The theorem on the existence of three commuting contractions on a Hilbert space and of a linear homogeneous matrix function of three independent variables for which the generalized von Neumann inequality fails is proved.

Here we prove the following result. Let $A = \{a_{ij}\}_{i,j\in \mathbb{N}}$ be a bounded operator. Then there exists a signing of $A$ such that $$||A\circ S||_2 < 2||A||_{l_\infty(l_2)},$$ where $A\circ S$ denotes the matrix generated by…

For $H \ge N^{1-\frac{1}{2c}} \ln^2 N$, where $c$ is a fixed non-integer number satisfying $$ \|c\| \ge 3c\left(2^{[c]+1}-1\right)\frac{\ln \ln N}{\ln N}, \qquad c > \frac{4}{3}\left(1 + \frac{52\ln \ln N}{\ln N}\right), $$ we obtain an…

By using the Newton interpolation formula, we generalize the recent identities on the Catalan triangle obtained by Miana and Romero as well as those of Chen and Chu. We further study divisibility properties of sums of products of binomial…

We prove inequalities on symmetric tensor sums of positive definite operators. In particular, we prove multivariable operator inequalities inspired by generalizations to the well-known Hlawka and Popoviciu inequalities. As corollaries, we…

The number of $n \times n$ matrices whose entries are either -1, 0, or 1, whose row- and column- sums are all 1, and such that in every row and every column the non-zero entries alternate in sign, is proved to be $[1!4! >...…

Let A= (a_{ij}) be a non-negative integer k x k matrix. A is a homogeneous matrix if a_{ij} + a_{kl}=a_{il} + a_{kj} for any choice of the four indexes. We ask: If A is a homogeneous matrix and if F is a form in C[x_1, \dots x_n] with…

Let $p>1$ and $1/p+1/q=1$. Consider H\"older's inequality $$ \|ab^*\|_1\le \|a\|_p\|b\|_q $$ for the $p$-norms of some trace ($a,b$ are matrices, compact operators, elements of a finite $C^*$-algebra or a semi-finite von Neumann algebra).…

We introduce the notion of regular operator mappings of several variables generalising the notion of spectral function. This setting is convenient for studying maps more general than what can be obtained from the functional calculus, and it…

In this short paper, we give a complete and affirmative answer to a conjecture on matrix trace inequalities for the sum of positive semidefinite matrices. We also apply the obtained inequality to derive a kind of generalized Golden-Thompson…

We study the existence of various sign and value patterns in sequences defined by multiplicative functions or related objects. For any set $A$ whose indicator function is 'approximately multiplicative' and uniformly distributed on short…

We give a characterization of all pairs $(k,n)$ of positive integers for which the ratio $$ \frac{1^k-2^k+3^k-\dots+(-1)^{n+1} n^k}{1^k-2^k+3^k-\dots+(-1)^{n}(n-1)^k} $$ of two consecutive alternating power sums is an integer.

Let $A_1,...,A_N$ be complex self-adjoint matrices and let $\rho$ be a density matrix. The Robertson uncertainty principle $$ det(Cov_\rho(A_h,A_j)) \geq det(- \frac{i}{2} Tr(\rho [A_h,A_j])) $$ gives a bound for the quantum generalized…

For a positive integer $k$, let \[ \sigma_k(n)=\sum_{d\mid n} d^k \] be the divisor function of order $k$, and let $\nu_p(m)$ denote the $p$-adic valuation of an integer $m$. Motivated by recent work on the $p$-adic valuation of…

Let $J_n$ be the Jordan block of size $n$ with all eigen values zero. Arveson introduced the notion of the matricial range of an operator in his remarkable article called Subalgebras of $C^*$-algebras II (Acta Math, 128, 1972) and…

We prove a conjectured determinantal inequality: \frac{\det J}{\prod_{i=1}^nJ_{ii}}\le 2(1-\frac{1}{n-1})^{n-1}, where $J$ is a real $n\times n$ ($n\ge 2$) diagonally balanced symmetric matrix.

Let $f_1,\ldots,f_k : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ be multiplicative functions taking values in the closed unit disc. Using an analytic approach in the spirit of Hal\'{a}sz' mean value theorem, we compute multidimensional averages of…

The aim of this note is to show that certain number theoretic inequalities due to Nesbitt and Shapiro have noncommutative counterparts involving positive definite matrices.
