P. V. Chung showed that there are many multiplicative functions $f$ which satisfy $f(m^2+n^2) = f(m^2)+f(n^2)$ for all positive integers $m$ and $n$. In this article, we show that if more than $2$ squares in the additive condition are…

We completely determine the structure constants between real root vectors in a rank 2 Kac--Moody algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. Our description is computationally efficient, even in the rank 2 hyperbolic case where the coefficients of roots on the…

We consider a tuple $\Phi = (\phi_1,\ldots,\phi_m)$ of commuting maps on a finitary matroid $X$. We show that if $\Phi$ satisfies certain conditions, then for any finite set $A\subseteq X$, the rank of $\{\phi_1^{r_1}\cdots\phi_m^{r_m}(a):a…

Let $X$ be a finite connected poset, $F$ a field and $I(X,F)$ the incidence algebra of $X$ over $F$. We describe the bijective linear idempotent preservers $\varphi:I(X,F)\to I(X,F)$. Namely, we prove that, whenever $\mathrm{char}(F)\ne 2$,…

The goal of this note is to define biparametric persistence diagrams for smooth generic mappings $h=(f,g):M\to V\cong \mathbb{R}^2$ for smooth compact manifold $M$. Existing approaches to multivariate persistence are mostly centered on the…

Let $A$, $B$ be algebras and $a\in A$, $b\in B$ a fixed pair of elements. We say that a map $\varphi:A\to B$ preserves products equal to $a$ and $b$ if for all $a_1,a_2\in A$ the equality $a_1a_2=a$ implies $\varphi(a_1)\varphi(a_2)=b$. In…

Let $\phi:M_n\to B(H)$ be an injective, completely positive contraction with $\V\phi^{-1}:\phi(M_n)\to M_n\V_{cb}\leq1+\delta(\epsilon).$ We show that if either (i) $\phi(M_n)$ is faithful modulo the compact operators or (ii) $\phi(M_n)$…

Let $M_{m,n}$ be the space of $m\times n$ real or complex rectangular matrices. Two matrices $A, B \in M_{m,n}$ are disjoint if $A^*B = 0_n$ and $AB^* = 0_m$. In this paper, a characterization is given for linear maps $\Phi: M_{m,n}…

We characterize maps $\phi_i: \mathcal{S} \to \mathcal{S}$, $i=1, \ldots, m$ and $m\ge 1$, that have the multiplicative spectrum or trace preserving property: \begin{eqnarray*} \textrm{spec} (\phi_1(A_1)\cdots \phi_m(A_m)) &=& \textrm{spec}…

We prove that if $k$ is a positive integer then for every finite field $\mathbb{F}$ of cardinality $q\neq 2$ and for every positive integer $n$ such that $q^n>(k-1)^4$, every $n\times n$ matrix over $\mathbb{F}$ can be expressed as a sum of…

For $n\ge 2$ and fixed $k\ge 1$, we study when a square matrix $A$ over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$ can be decomposed as $T+N$ where $T$ is a torsion matrix and $N$ is a nilpotent matrix with $N^k=0$. For fields of prime characteristic,…
