In this paper we establish a direct connection between stable approximate unitary equivalence for $*$-homomorphisms and the topology of the KK-groups which avoids entirely C*-algebra extension theory and does not require nuclearity…

This note consists of three unrelated remarks. First, we demonstrate how roughly speaking $*$-homomorphisms between matrix stable $C^*$-algebras are exactly the uniformly continuous $*$-preserving group homomorphisms between their genral…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a complex simple Lie algebra and $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak{g}})$ the corresponding quantum affine algebra. We prove that every irreducible finite-dimensional $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak{g}})$-module gives rise to a family of…

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…

It is proved that every separable $C^*$-algebra of real rank zero contains an AF-sub-$C^*$-algebra such that the inclusion mapping induces an isomorphism of the ideal lattices of the two $C^*$-algebras and such that every projection in a…

The set of diagonals of real symmetric matrices of given non negative spectrum is endowed with a measure which is obtained by the push forward of the Haar measure of the real orthogonal group.\\ We prove that the Radon Nicodym derivation of…

Given an arbitrary (commutative) field K, let V be a linear subspace of M_n(K) consisting of matrices of rank lesser than or equal to some r<n. A theorem of Atkinson and Lloyd states that, if dim V>nr-r+1 and #K>r, then either all the…

We show that shift equivalence of essential adjacency matrices coincides with gauge-equivariant homotopy equivalence of their stabilized graph C*-algebras. This provide the first equivalent formulation of shift equivalence of essential…

We present certain existence criteria and parameterisations for an interpolation problem for completely positive maps that take given matrices from a finite set into prescribed matrices. Our approach uses density matrices associated to…

We present a natural and simple proof of the Radon - Nikodym theorem for measures with values in the space of bounded linear operators on a separable Hilbert space. This space is not separable, that is why it is essential to assume in the…

For a pair of bounded linear Hilbert space operators $A$ and $B$ one considers the Lebesgue type decompositions of $B$ with respect to $A$ into an almost dominated part and a singular part, analogous to the Lebesgue decomposition for a pair…

Positive semidefinite Hermitian matrices that are not fully specified can be completed provided their underlying graph is chordal. If the matrix is positive definite the completion can be uniquely characterized as the matrix that maximizes…

This paper studies kernel Radon-Nikodym derivatives for the one-step shift of time-indexed positive definite kernels associated with random matrix products. The problem is to determine when the shifted kernel is dominated by the original…

We prove a tensor equivalence between full subcategories of a) graded matrix factorisations of the potential x^d-y^d and b) representations of the N=2 minimal super vertex operator algebra at central charge 3-6/d, where d is odd. The…

We provide a self-contained proof of the Artin-Wedderburn theorem in the case of finite-dimensional Von Neumann algebras (or equivalently unital C* algebras) that is fully constructive and uses only basic notions of linear algebra.

This paper solves the following problem about Hermitian matrices related to the theory of $2$-structures:\emph{ }Let $n$ be a positive integer and $k$ be an integer with $k\in \{3,\ldots,n-3\}$. Characterize the Hermitian matrices $A$ such…

Let S be a subsemigroup of an abelian torsion-free group G. If S is a positive cone of G, then all C*-algebras generated by faithful isometrical non-unitary representations of S are canonically isomorphic. Proved by Murphy, this statement…

It is proven that a certain class of positive maps in the matrix algebra $M_n$ consists of optimal maps, i.e. maps from which one cannot subtract any completely positive map without loosing positivity. This class provides a generalization…

Some topics concerning the Gould integral are presented here: new results of integrability on finite measure spaces with values in an M-space are given, together with a Radon-Nikodym theorem relative to a Gould-type integral of real…

N-matrices are real $n\times n$ matrices all of whose principal minors are negative. We provide (i) an $O(2^n)$ test to detect whether or not a given matrix is an N-matrix, and (ii) a characterization of N-matrices, leading to the recursive…
