This note considers the maximal positively invariant set for polynomial discrete time dynamics subject to constraints specified by a basic semialgebraic set. The note utilizes a relatively direct, but apparently overlooked, fact stating…
We prove that all injective maps on positive complex matrices which preserve order and shrink spectrum are implemented by unitary or antiunitary conjugations. We show by counterexamples that all assumptions are indispensable. The result…
Recent developments in mathematics have provided powerful tools for comparing the eigenvalues of matrices related to each other via a moment map. In this paper we survey some of the more concrete aspects of the approach with a particular…
Algorithmic methods for the explicit inversion of the indefinite double covering maps are proposed. These are based on either the Givens decomposition or the polar decomposition of the given matrix in the proper, indefinite orthogonal group…
A matching $M$ in a graph $\Gamma$ is positive if $\Gamma$ has a vertex-labeling such that $M$ coincides with the set of edges with positive weights. A positive matching decomposition (pmd) of $\Gamma$ is an edge-partition $M_1,\ldots,M_p$…
We use classical results from the theory of linear preserver problems to characterize operators that send the set of pure states with Schmidt rank no greater than k back into itself, extending known results characterizing operators that…
We investigate self-adjoint matrices $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n,n}$ with respect to their equivariance properties. We show in particular that a matrix is self-adjoint if and only if it is equivariant with respect to the action of a group…
New insight into the correspondence between Quantum Chaos and Random Matrix Theory is gained by developing a semiclassical theory for the autocorrelation function of spectral determinants. We study in particular the unitary operators which…
This paper presents no new results; its goals are purely pedagogical. A special case of the Cartan Decomposition has found much utility in the field of quantum computing, especially in its sub-field of quantum compiling. This special case…
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 the following version of the Schur's product theorem. If $M=(M_{j,k})_{j,k=1}^n\in{\mathbb R}^{n\times n}$ is a positive semidefinite matrix with all entries on the diagonal equal to one, then the matrix $N=(N_{j,k})_{j,k=1}^n$ with…
For a given set of input-output pairs of quantum states or observables, we ask the question whether there exists a physically implementable transformation that maps each of the inputs to the corresponding output. The physical maps on…
Permutation and its partial transpose play important roles in quantum information theory. The Werner state is recognized as a rational solution of the Yang--Baxter equation, and the isotropic state with an adjustable parameter is found to…
Let $p$ be a prime number, and let $A$ be a ring in which $p$ is nilpotent. In this paper, we consider the maps $$K_{q+1}(A[x]/(x^m), (x))\to K_{q+1}(A[x]/(x^{mn}), (x)),$$induced by the ring homomorphism $A[x]/(x^{m})\to A[x]/(x^{mn})$,…
Assume $\mathsf{M}_n$ is the $n$-dimensional permutation module for the symmetric group $\mathsf{S}_n$, and let $\mathsf{M}_n^{\otimes k}$ be its $k$-fold tensor power. The partition algebra $\mathsf{P}_k(n)$ maps surjectively onto the…
Two-parameter generalizations of depolarizing channels are introduced and studied. These so-called Cartan-covariant channels have a covariance Lie group that forms a Cartan decomposition of SU$(D)$. The regions of completely positive and…
Bochner's theorem characterizes positive definite functions on groups through the positivity of their Fourier transforms and plays a fundamental role in Harmonic analysis. While Bochner-type results are known for certain classes of…
We investigate certain classes of normal completely positive (CP) maps on the hyperfinite $II_1$ factor $\mathcal A$. Using the representation theory of a suitable irrational rotation algebra, we propose some computable invariants for such…
We represent low dimensional quantum mechanical Hamiltonians by moderately sized finite matrices that reproduce the lowest O(10) boundstate energies and wave functions to machine precision. The method extends also to Hamiltonians that are…
We investigate the completely positive semidefinite cone $\mathcal{CS}_+^n$, a new matrix cone consisting of all $n\times n$ matrices that admit a Gram representation by positive semidefinite matrices (of any size). In particular we study…
