We prove that the PPT$^2$ conjecture holds for linear maps between matrix algebras which are covariant under the action of the diagonal unitary group. Many salient examples, like the Choi-type maps, depolarizing maps, dephasing maps,…
Let H and K be two complex Hilbert spaces and B(H) be the algebra of bounded linear operators from H into itself. The main purpose in this paper is to obtain a characterization of bijective maps $\Phi$ : B(H) $\rightarrow$ B(K) satisfying…
Let $\mathcal A$ be an $\mathbb F$-algebra and $\omega \in \mathcal A\langle x_1, \ldots, x_m \rangle$ which defines a map $\mathcal A^m \rightarrow \mathcal A$ by evaluation, called a polynomial map with constant. We consider $\mathcal {A}…
Every positive multilinear map between $C^*$-algebras is separately weak$^*$-continuous. We show that the joint weak$^*$-continuity is equivalent to the joint weak$^*$-continuity of the multiplications of $C^*$-algebras under consideration.…
Let F be a linear unital map of a unital matrix algebra A over the complex numbers into the complex n by n matrices. Then F induces a linear unital map Fk of the k by k matrices over A into the complex nk by nk matrices by the action of F…
Maps $f,g\colon I\to I$ are called strongly commuting if $f\circ g^{-1}=g^{-1}\circ f$. We show that strongly commuting, piecewise monotone maps $f,g$ can be decomposed into a finite number of invariant intervals (or period 2 intervals) on…
In this paper we prove that if $\phi:\C\to\C$ is a $K$-quasiconformal map, with $K>1$, and $E\subset \C$ is a compact set contained in a ball $B$, then $$\frac{\dot C_{\frac{2K}{2K+1},\frac{2K+1}{K+1}}(E)}{\diam(B)^{\frac2{K+1}}} \geq…
We characterize the idempotent stable range one $2\times 2$ matrices over commutative rings and in particular, the integral matrices with this property. Several special cases and examples complete the subject.
In this paper, we generalize some matrix inequalities involving matrix power and Karcher means of positive definite matrices. Among other inequalities, it is shown that if ${\mathbb A}=(A_{1},...,A_{n})$ is a $n$-tuple of positive definite…
Let F be a subfield of a commutative field extending R. Let \phi_2: F^2 \times F^2 \to F, \phi_2((x_1,x_2),(y_1,y_2))=(x_1-y_1)^2+(x_2-y_2)^2. We say that f:R^2 \to F^2 preserves distance d \geq 0 if for each x,y \in R^2 |x-y|=d implies…
We prove the centrality of $\mathrm{K}_2 (\mathsf{F}_4, \,R)$ for an arbitrary commutative ring $R$. This completes the proof of the centrality of $\mathrm K_2(\Phi,\, R)$ for any root system $\Phi$ of rank $\geq 3$. Our proof uses only…
Let $n\geq2$ be a natural number. Let $M_n(\mathbb{K})$ be the ring of all $n \times n$ matrices over a field $\mathbb{K}$. Fix natural number $k$ satisfying $1<k\leq n$. Under a mild technical assumption over $\mathbb{K}$ we will show that…
Let $k$ be an arbitrary field. In this paper we show that in the linear case ($\Phi=\mathsf{A}_\ell$, $\ell \geq 4$) and even orthogonal case ($\Phi = \mathsf{D}_\ell$, $\ell\geq 7$, $\mathrm{char}(k)\neq 2$) the unstable functor…
We establish some operator versions of Bellman's inequality. In particular, we prove that if $\Phi: \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H}) \to \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{K})$ is a unital positive linear map, $A,B \in \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H})$ are contractions,…
Ulf Rehmann and Jun Morita, in their 1989 paper "A Matsumoto-type theorem for Kac-Moody groups", gave a presentation of $K_2(A,F)$ for any generalised Cartan matrix $A$ and field $F$. The purpose of this paper is to use this presentation to…
The following theorem is proved: Suppose $M = (a_{i,j})$ be a $k \times k$ matrix with positive entries and $a_{i,j}a_{i+1,j+1} > 4\cos ^2 \frac{\pi}{k+1} a_{i,j+1}a_{i+1,j} \quad (1 \leq i \leq k-1, 1 \leq j \leq k-1).$ Then $\det M > 0 .$…
Denote by $M_n$ the set of $n\times n$ complex matrices. Let $f: M_n \rightarrow [0,\infty)$ be a continuous map such that $f(\mu UAU^*)= f(A)$ for any complex unit $\mu$, $A \in M_n$ and unitary $U \in M_n$, $f(X)=0$ if and only if $X=0$…
Given commuting families of Hermitian matrices {A1, ..., Ak} and {B1, ...., Bk}, conditions for the existence of a completely positive map L, such that L(Aj) = Bj for j = 1, ...,k, are studied. Additional properties such as unital or / and…
Let $A$ be a $m\times m$ complex matrix with zero trace and let $\e>0$. Then there are $m\times m$ matrices $B$ and $C$ such that $A=[B,C]$ and $\|B\|\|C\|\le K_\e m^\e\|A\|$ where $K_\e$ depends only on $\e$. Moreover, the matrix $B$ can…
We show that algebraizability of the functors $R^1\pi_*\mathcal{K}^M_{2,X}$ and $R^2\pi_*\mathcal{K}^M_{2,X}$ is a stable birational invariant for smooth and proper varieties $\pi:X\rightarrow k$ defined over an algebraic extension $k$ of…
