For a domain $\Omega$ in the complex plane, we consider the domain $S_n(\Omega)$ consisting of those $n\times n$ complex matrices whose spectrum is contained in $\Omega$. Given a holomorphic self-map $\Psi$ of $S_n(\Omega)$ such that…
This work characterizes the general form of a bijective linear map $\Psi:\mathscr{M}_n(\mathbb{C}) \to \mathscr{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$ such that $[\Psi(A_1),~\Psi(A_2)]=D_2$ whenever $[A_1,~A_2]=D_1$ where $D_1~\text{and}~D_2$ are fixed…
In this note we consider $W$-shaped map $W_0=W_{s_1,s_2}$ with $\frac {1}{s_1}+\frac {1}{s_2}=1$ and show that eigenvalue 1 is not stable. We do this in a constructive way. For each perturbing map $W_a$ we show the existence of the "second"…
We give a self-contained modern linear stability analysis of a system of n equal mass bodies in circular orbit about a single more massive body. Starting with the mathematical description of the dynamics of the system, we form the linear…
Let $A$ be a unital locally matrix algebra. Among the examples of such algebras are: (1) an infinite tensor product $\otimes M_{n_i}(\mathbb{F})$ of matrix algebras over a field $\mathbb{F}$, and (2) the Clifford algebra of a nondegenerate…
The purpose of this article is to study Lipschitz CR mappings from an $h$-extendible (or semi-regular) hypersurface in $\mbb C^n$. Under various assumptions on the target hypersurface, it is shown that such mappings must be smooth. A…
Let $R$ be a compact, connected, orientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components with $g \geq 2$, $n \geq 0$. Let $\mathcal{N}(R)$ be the nonseparating curve graph, $\mathcal{C}(R)$ be the curve graph and $\mathcal{HT}(R)$ be…
We study Lipschitz, positively homogeneous and finite suprema preserving mappings defined on a max-cone of positive elements in a normed vector lattice. We prove that the lower spectral radius of such a mapping is always a minimum value of…
The Nemhauser-Trotter theorem states that the standard linear programming (LP) formulation for the stable set problem has a remarkable property, also known as (weak) persistency: for every optimal LP solution that assigns integer values to…
We study linear functions on the space of $n \times n$ matrices over a field which preserve or strongly preserve each of Green's equivalence relations ($\mathcal{L}$, $\mathcal{R}$, $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{J}$) and the corresponding…
We give various characterizations for a positive unital Tr-preserving map on a matrix algebra to preserve the von Neumann entropy of a state. Among others, it is given by that the map behaves as a *-automorphism. This is also equivalent to…
Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold, and let $G$ be a compact simple Lie group with bi-invariant metric that is not $\operatorname{Sp}(n)$ for $n \geq 8$, $E_{8}$, $F_{4}$, or $G_{2}$. We show that the singular set of any stable…
Let R be a sufficiently saturated o-minimal expansion of a real closed field, let O be the convex hull of the rationals in R, and let st: O^n \to \mathbb{R}^n be the standard part map. For X \subseteq R^n define st(X):=st(X \cap O^n). We…
The H-unistochastic matrices are a special class of symmetric bistochastic matrices obtained by taking the square of the absolute value of each entry of a Hermitian unitary matrix. We examine the geometric relationship of the convex hull of…
In this text we study the regularity of matrices with special polynomial entries. Barring some mild conditions we show that these matrices are regular if a natural limit size is not exceeded. The proof draws connections to generalized…
The contribution of this work is twofold. The first part deals with a Hilbert-space version of McCann's celebrated result on the existence and uniqueness of monotone measure-preserving maps: given two probability measures $\rm P$ and $\rm…
This paper is the first in the series of papers devoted to the explicit description of linear maps preserving the Cullis' determinant of rectangular matrices with entries belonging to an arbitrary ground field which is large enough. The…
The isospectral reduction of matrix, which is closely related to its Schur complement, allows to reduce the size of a matrix while maintaining its eigenvalues up to a known set. Here we generalize this procedure by increasing the number of…
Let $\A$ be an algebra and let $f(x_1,...,x_d)$ be a multilinear polynomial in noncommuting indeterminates $x_i$. We consider the problem of describing linear maps $\phi:\A\to \A$ that preserve zeros of $f$. Under certain technical…
Let H\subset\GL(V) be a connected complex reductive group where V is a finite-dimensional complex vector space. Let v\in V and let G=\{g\in\GL(V)\mid gHv = Hv\}. Following Ra\"is we say that the orbit Hv is \emph{characteristic for H} if…
