We initiate a study of linear maps on $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ that have the property that they factor through a tracial von Neumann algebra $(\mathcal{A,\tau})$ via operators $Z\in M_n(\mathcal{A})$ whose entries consist of positive elements from…
We explore a class of centrosymmetric matrices whose entries are polynomials in two variables, referred to as DNA matrices. Our motivation stems from an unexpected connection between these matrices and invariant polynomials under the action…
Entrywise functions preserving the cone of positive semidefinite matrices have been studied by many authors, most notably by Schoenberg [Duke Math. J. 9, 1942] and Rudin [Duke Math. J. 26, 1959]. Following their work, it is well-known that…
We use representation theory to construct spaces of matrices of constant rank. These spaces are parametrized by the natural representation of the general linear group or the symplectic group. We present variants of this idea, with more…
In this paper we give a version of Krivine-Stengle's Positivstellensatz, Schweighofer's Positivstellensatz, Scheiderer's local-global principle, Scheiderer's Hessian criterion and Marshall's boundary Hessian conditions for polynomial…
In this paper the authors seek to trace in an accessible fashion the rapid recent development of the theory of the matrix geometric mean in the cone of positive definite matrices up through the closely related operator geometric mean in the…
A new class of integrable mappings and chains is introduced. Corresponding $(1+2)$ integrable systems invariant with respect to such discrete transformations are presented in an explicit form. Their soliton-type solutions are constructed in…
We resolve an algebraic version of Schoenberg's celebrated theorem [Duke Math.J., 1942] characterizing entrywise matrix transforms that preserve positive definiteness. Compared to the classical real and complex settings, we consider…
In [Frobenius1896] it was shown that many important properties of a finite group could be examined using formulas involving the character ratios of group elements, i.e., the trace of the element acting in a given irreducible representation,…
We show that the fixed elements for the natural GL_m-action on the universal division algebra UD(m,n) of m generic n x n matrices form a division subalgebra of degree n, assuming n >= 3 and 2 <= m <= n^2 - 2. This allows us to describe the…
In this paper we provide a "combinatorial" description of the category of tilting perverse sheaves on the affine flag variety of a reductive algebraic group, and its free-monodromic variant, with coefficients in a field of positive…
In this paper, we extend the notion of orthogonality to the general elements of an absolute matrix order unit space and relate it to the orthogonality among positive elements. We introduce the notion of a partial isometry in an absolute…
The positive existential theories of the sets $M_n(\mathbb N)$ without parameters build an inclusion lattice isomorhic with the lattice of divisibility. All these sets are algorithmically undecidable. In further sections some easier…
We classify all functions which, when applied term by term, leave invariant the sequences of moments of positive measures on the real line. Rather unexpectedly, these functions are built of absolutely monotonic components, or reflections of…
We consider the oriented graph whose vertices are isomorphism classes of finitely generated groups, with an edge from G to H if, for some generating set T in H and some sequence of generating sets S_i in G, the marked balls of radius i in…
We construct a broad class of completely positive maps and Go\-rini--Kossakowski--Sudarshan-Lindblad generators for fermionic systems induced by linear transformations of system and environment modes. For these maps, we derive explicit…
We prove the (generalized) principal pivot transform is matrix monotone, in the sense of the L\"owner ordering, under minimal hypotheses. This improves on the recent results of J. E. Pascoe and R. Tully-Doyle, Monotonicity of the principal…
We generalize an algorithm of Leclerc describing explicitly the bijection of Lalonde-Ram from finite to affine Lie algebras. In type $A_n^{(1)}$, we compute all affine standard Lyndon words for any order of the simple roots, and establish…
Bochner's theorem characterizes positive definite functions on groups through the positivity of their Fourier transforms and plays a fundamental role in Harmonic analysis. While Bochner-type results are known for certain classes of…
We give short proofs of two \v{S}emrl's descriptions of order automorphisms of the effect algebra. This sheds new light on both formulas that look quite complicated. Our proofs rely on Moln\'{a}r's characterization of order automorphisms of…
