We classify all rational maps $H \in K(x)^n$ for which ${\rm trdeg}_K K(tH_1,tH_2,\ldots,tH_n) \le 2$, where $K$ is any field and $t$ is another indeterminate. Furthermore, we classify all such maps for which additionally $JH \cdot H = {\rm…

We generalize a preceding simple proof of the Jamiolkowski criterion to check whether a given linear map between algebras of operators is completely positive or not. The generalization is performed to embrace all algebras of Hilbert-Schmidt…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $H$ a Hilbert space. The description of the general form of bijective maps on the set of $n$-dimensional subspaces of $H$ preserving the maximal principal angle has been obtained recently. This is a…

Given an n-tuple {a_1, ..., a_n} of self-adjoint operators on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space H and a positive integer k, there exists a projection p of rank k such that, for each for j = 1, ..., n, pa_jp is a scalar multiple of p.…

We generalise Wigner's theorem to its most general form possible for B(h) in the sense of completely characterising those vector state transformations of B(h) that appear as restrictions of duals of linear operators on B(h). We then use…

We develop the theory of Wigner representations for general probabilistic theories (GPTs), a large class of operational theories that include both classical and quantum theory. The Wigner representations that we introduce are a natural way…
