We present a necessary and sufficient condition for a finite dimensional density matrix to be an extreme point of the convex set of density matrices with positive partial transpose with respect to a subsystem. We also give an algorithm for…
We give a characterization for the extreme points of the convex set of correlation matrices with a countable index set. A Hermitian matrix is called a correlation matrix if it is positive semidefinite with unit diagonal entries. Using the…
A bad point of a positive semidefinite real polynomial f is a point at which a pole appears in all expressions of f as a sum of squares of rational functions. We show that quartic polynomials in three variables never have bad points. We…
The famous T. Suffridge polynomials have many extremal properties: the maximality of coefficients when the leading coefficient is maximal; the zeros of the derivative are located on the unit circle; the maximum radius of stretching the unit…
This article shows the existence of a class of closed bounded matrix convex sets which do not have absolute extreme points. The sets we consider are noncommutative sets, $K_X$, formed by taking matrix convex combinations of a single tuple…
Based on the fact that the Cuntz algebra $O_n$ is generated by the operators consisting of a finite operatorional partition, we study the notion of operational extreme points (which we introduce here) by using several completely positive…
For matrix convex sets a unified geometric interpretation of notions of extreme points and of Arveson boundary points is given. These notions include, in increasing order of strength, the core notions of "Euclidean" extreme points, "matrix"…
New and old results on closed polynomials, i.e., such polynomials f in K[x_1,...,x_n] that the subalgebra K[f] is integrally closed in K[x_1,...,x_n], are collected. Using some properties of closed polynomials we prove the following…
We consider polynomials of degree $d$ with only real roots and a fixed value of discriminant, and study the problem of minimizing the absolute value of polynomials at a fixed point off the real line. There are two explicit families of…
Let $\beta_1,...,\beta_n$ be distinct points in the open unit disc in the complex plane, none of which is the origin, and let $H^1$ be the Hardy space. Define a closed convex set in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ by $\Lambda = \{…
For an analytic function $f(z)=\sum_{k=0}^\infty a_kz^k$ on a neighbourhood of a closed disc $D\subset {\bf C}$, we give assumptions, in terms of the Taylor coefficients $a_k$ of $f$, under which the number of intersection points of the…
First a formula for the number of zeros of the orthogonal polynomial in the intervals is presented. Then a criteria about the appearance of a zero in a gap is given. Finally a necessary and sufficient condition is derived such that the…
We characterize the extreme points of the set of incentive-compatible mechanisms for screening problems with linear utility. Our framework subsumes problems with and without transfers, such as monopoly pricing, principal-optimal bilateral…
New families of nonnegative biquadratic forms that have 8, 9 or 10 real zeros in $\mathbb{P}^2\times \mathbb{P}^2$ are constructed. These are the first examples with 8, 9 or 10 real zeros. It is known that nonnegative biquadratic forms with…
We study Dirichlet-type spaces $\mathfrak{D}_{\alpha}$ of analytic functions in the unit bidisk and their cyclic elements. These are the functions $f$ for which there exists a sequence $(p_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ of polynomials in two variables…
The coupling constants of fixed points in the $\epsilon$ expansion at one loop are known to satisfy a quadratic bound due to Rychkov and Stergiou. We refer to fixed points that saturate this bound as extremal fixed points. The theories…
We study some approximation problems on a strict subset of the circle by analytic functions of the Hardy space H2 of the unit disk (in C), whose modulus satisfy a pointwise constraint on the complentary part of the circle. Existence and…
We consider a generic family of polynomial maps $f:=(f_1,f_2):\mathbb{C}^2\rightarrow\mathbb{C}^2$ with given supports of polynomials, and degree $ d(f):=\max (deg f_1, deg f_2)$. We show that the (non-) properness of maps $f$ in this…
Two notions for linear maps (operational convex combinations and operational exetreme points) are introduced. The set S of ucp maps on the n times n matrix algebra is the operational convex combinations of the identity map. An operational…
Polynomials whose coefficients, roots, and critical points lie in the ring of rational integers are called nice polynomials. In this paper, we present a general method for investigating such polynomials. We extend our results from the ring…
