We prove a finite-dimensional covariant Stinespring theorem for compact quantum groups. Let G be a compact quantum group, and let T:= Rep(G) be the rigid C*-tensor category of finite-dimensional continuous unitary representations of G. Let…

This paper presents a new general formulation of the Radon-Nikodym theorem in the setting of abstract measure theory. We introduce the notion of weak localizability for a measure and show that this property is both necessary and sufficient…

We introduce and study a class $\mathcal{M}$ of generalized positive definite kernels of the form $K\colon X\times X\to L(\mathfrak{A},L(H))$, where $\mathfrak{A}$ is a unital $C^{*}$-algebra and $H$ a Hilbert space. These kernels encode…

We show that every Finsler module over a $C^*$-algebra has a quasi-representation into the Banach space $\mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H},\mathscr{K})$ of all bounded linear operators between some Hilbert spaces $\mathscr{H}$ and $\mathscr{K}$. We…

Given a representation of a unital $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, together with a bounded linear map $V:\mathcal{K}\to\mathcal{H}$ from some other Hilbert space, one obtains a completely positive map on…

A problem of completing a linear map on C*-algebras to a completely positive map is analyzed. It is shown that whenever such a completion is feasible there exists a unique minimal completion. This theorem is used to show that under some…

We develop a Kubo--Ando theory on order intervals of completely positive maps. Using Arveson's Radon--Nikodym theorem as a structural tool, we define relative Kubo--Ando means \(\Phi\sigma_\Omega\Psi\) for completely positive maps dominated…

Hilbert polynomials have positivity properties under favorable conditions. We establish a similar "K-theoretic positivity" for matroids. As an application, for a multiplicity-free subvariety of a product of projective spaces such that the…

We propose and discuss how basic notions (quadratic modules, positive elements, semialgebraic sets, Archimedean orderings) and results (Positivstellensaetze) from real algebraic geometry can be generalized to noncommutative $*$-algebras. A…

Let $\tau$ be a linear map from a unital $C^*$-algebra $\CMcal A$ to a von Neumann algebra $\mathematical B$ and let $\CMcal C$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra. A map $T$ from a Hilbert $\CMcal A$-module $E$ to a von Neumann $\CMcal C$-$\CMcal B$…

We prove a Schoenberg-type correspondence for non-unital semigroups which generalizes an analogous result for unital semigroup proved by Michael Sch\"urmann. It characterizes the generators of semigroups of linear maps on $M_n(C)$ which are…

We show that a matrix is a Hermitian positive semidefinite matrix whose nonzero entries have modulus 1 if and only if it similar to a direct sum of all $1's$ matrices and a 0 matrix via a unitary monomial similarity. In particular, the only…

In previous work [Adv. Math. 298, pp. 325-368, 2016], the structure of the simultaneous kernels of Hadamard powers of any positive semidefinite matrix were described. Key ingredients in the proof included a novel stratification of the cone…

A completely positive linear map $\varphi$ from a C*-algebra $A$ into $B(H)$ has a Stinespring representation as $\varphi(a) = X^*\pi(a)X,$ where $\pi$ is a *-representation of $A$ on a Hilbert space $K$ and $X$ is a bounded operator from…

A matrix is totally positive if all of its minors are positive. This notion of positivity coincides with the type A version of Lusztig's more general total positivity in reductive real-split algebraic groups. Since skew-symmetric matrices…

In this paper, we consider matrices whose entries are combinatorial sequences which can be expressed in terms of a convolution of elementary and complete homogeneous symmetric functions. We establish the total positivity of these matrices…

We study completely positive module maps on $C^{*}$-algebras which are $C^*$-module over another $C^*$-algebra with compatible actions. We extend several well known dilation and extension results to this setup, including the Stinespring…

We consider positive semidefinite kernels valued in the $*$-algebra of continuous and continuously adjointable operators on a VH-space (Vector Hilbert space in the sense of Loynes) and that are invariant under actions of $*$-semigroups. For…

In this paper we will give a categorical proof of the Radon-Nikodym theorem. We will do this by describing the trivial version of the result on finite probability spaces as a natural isomorphism. We then proceed to Kan extend this…

We give a short and elementary proof of a theorem of Procesi, Schacher and (independently) Gondard, Ribenboim that generalizes a famous result of Artin. Let $A$ be an $n \times n$ symmetric matrix with entries in the polynomial ring…
