Let $A$ be a $C^{*}$ algebra and $T: A\rightarrow A$ be a linear map which satisfies the functional equation $\begin{cases}T(x)T(y)=T^{2}(xy)\\T(x^{*})=T(x)^{*} \end{cases}$ We prove that under each of the following conditions, $T$ must be…

We prove the existence of holomorphic functions $f$ defined on any open convex subset ${\rm \Omega}\subset {{\mathbb C}}^n$, whose partial sums of the Taylor developments approximate uniformly any complex polynomial on any convex compact…

We consider the problem of characterizing all functions $f$ defined on the set of integers modulo $n$ with the property that an average of some $n$th roots of unity determined by $f$ is always an algebraic integer. Examples of such…

Subdifferentials (in the sense of convex analysis) of matrix-valued functions defined on $\mathbb{R}^d$ that are convex with respect to the L\"{o}wner partial order can have a complicated structure and might be very difficult to compute…

In a recent article (2022) we proved with L. Zaj\'i\v{c}ek that if $ G\subset\R^n $ is an unbounded open convex set that does not contain a translation of a convex cone with non-empty interior, then there exist $ f:G\to\R $ and a concave…

We present a Suffridge-like extension of the Grace-Szeg\"o convolution theorem for polynomials and entire functions with only real zeros. Our results can also be seen as a $q$-extension of P\'olya's and Schur's characterization of…

We consider commutativity equations $F_i F_j =F_j F_i$ for a function $F(x^1, \dots, x^N),$ where $F_i$ is a matrix of the third order derivatives $F_{ikl}$. We show that under certain non-degeneracy conditions a solution $F$ satisfies the…

A natural generalization of Krein's theorem to a pair of commuting tuples $\left(H_1^0,H_2^0\right)$ and $\left(H_1,H_2\right)$ of bounded self-adjoint operators in a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ with $H_j-H_j^0 = V_j\in…

We prove the little Grothendieck theorem for any 2-convex noncommutative symmetric space. Let $\M$ be a von Neumann algebra equipped with a normal faithful semifinite trace $\t$, and let $E$ be an r.i. space on $(0, \8)$. Let $E(\M)$ be the…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ denote the class of all complex-valued harmonic functions $f$ in the open unit disk normalized by $f(0)=0=f_{z}(0)-1=f_{\bar{z}}(0)$, and let $\mathcal{A}$ be the subclass of $\mathcal{H}$ consisting of normalized analytic…

We study sets $V$ in the tridisc that are relatively polynomially convex and have the polynomial extension property. If $V$ is one-dimensional, and is either algebraic, or has polynomially convex projections, we show that it is a retract.…

Let $T$ be a $C_0$--contraction on a separable Hilbert space. We assume that $I_H-T^*T$ is compact. For a function $f$ holomorphic in the unit disk $\DD$ and continuous on $\bar\DD$, we show that $f(T)$ is compact if and only if $f$…

A differentiable function is pseudoconvex if and only if its restrictions over straight lines are pseudoconvex. A differentiable function depending on one variable, defined on some closed interval $[a,b]$ is pseudoconvex if and only if…

In this paper we prove a version of Connes' trace theorem for noncommutative tori of any dimension~$n\geq 2$. This allows us to recover and improve earlier versions of this result in dimension $n=2$ and $n=4$ by Fathizadeh-Khalkhali. We…

Let A be a finite-dimensional associative algebra and $\phi$ a symmetric linear function on $A$. In this note, we will show that the pseudotrace maps are obtained as special cases of well-known symmetric linear functions on the endomorphism…

Using a global symbol calculus for pseudodifferential operators on tori, we build a canonical trace on classical pseudodifferential operators on noncommutative tori in terms of a canonical discrete sum on the underlying toroidal symbols. We…

Given a compact interval $I \subseteq \mathbb{R}$, and a function $f$ that is a product of a nonzero polynomial with a Gaussian, it will be shown that the translates $\{ f(\cdot - \lambda) : \lambda \in \Lambda \}$ are complete in $C(I)$ if…

We say that a symmetric noncommutative polynomial in the noncommutative free variables (x_1, x_2, ..., x_g) is noncommutative plurisubharmonic on a noncommutative open set if it has a noncommutative complex hessian that is positive…

Let $p$ be a multilinear polynomial in several non-commuting variables with coefficients in a quadratically closed field $K$ of any characteristic. It has been conjectured that for any $n$, the image of $p$ evaluated on the set $M_n(K)$ of…

A non-zero $\mathbb{F}$-valued $\mathbb{F}$-linear map on a finite dimensional $\mathbb{F}$-algebra is called an $\mathbb{F}$-valued trace if its kernel does not contain any non-zero ideals. However, given an $\mathbb{F}$-algebra such a map…
