Let $A$ be an algebra over a field $F$ with {\rm char}$(F)\ne 2$. If $A$ is generated as an algebra by $[[A,A],[A,A]]$, then for every skew-symmetric bilinear map $\Phi:A\times A\to X$, where $X$ is an arbitrary vector space over $F$, the…

In this paper we investigate whether positive elements in the multiplier algebras of certain finite C*-algebras can be written as finite linear combinations of projections with positive coefficients (PCP). Our focus is on the category of…

We provide a universal construction of the category of finite-dimensional C*-algebras and completely positive trace-nonincreasing maps from the rig category of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces and unitaries. This construction, which can be…

A square matrix $A$ has the usual Jordan canonical form that describes the structure of $A$ via eigenvalues and the corresponding Jordan blocks. If $A$ is a linear relation in a finite-dimensional linear space ${\mathfrak H}$ (i.e., $A$ is…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be two factor von Neumann algebras and $\eta$ be a non-zero complex number. A nonlinear bijective map $\phi:\mathcal A\rightarrow\mathcal B$ has been demonstrated to satisfy…

We give an overview of the question: which positive elements in an operator algebra can be written as a linear combination of projections with positive coefficients. A special case of independent interest is the question of which positive…

In this paper, we first show that homogeneous Keller maps are injective on lines through the origin. We subsequently formulate a generalization, which is that under some conditions, a polynomial endomorphism with $r$ homogeneous parts of…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a $*$-algebra and $\mathcal{M}$ be a $*$-$\mathcal A$-bimodule, we study the local properties of $*$-derivations and $*$-Jordan derivations from $\mathcal{A}$ into $\mathcal{M}$ under the following orthogonality…

We prove that $i)$ if $\mathcal{A}$ is $\lambda $-accessible and it is axiomatizable in (finitary) coherent logic then $\lambda $-pure maps are strict monomorphisms and $ii)$ if there is a proper class of strongly compact cardinals and…

Using a result of H. Hanche-Olsen, we show that (subject to fairly natural constraints on what constitutes a system, and on what constitutes a composite system), orthodox finite-dimensional complex quantum mechanics with superselection…

An element of a ring $R$ is called strongly $J^{\#}$-clean provided that it can be written as the sum of an idempotent and an element in $J^{\#}(R)$ that commute. We characterize, in this article, the strongly $J^{\#}$-cleanness of matrices…

On one hand, exact structures were introduced by D. Quillen in the '70s. They can be defined as collections of short exact sequences in a fixed abelian category satisfying additional properties. On the other hand, in a recent work, A.…

We use purity, a principle borrowed from the foundations of quantum information, to show that all special symmetric dagger-Frobenius algebras in CPM(fHilb) are canonical, i.e. that they arise by doubling of special symmetric…

We use purity, a principle borrowed from the foundations of quantum information, to show that all isometric comonoids in the category $\operatorname{CPM}\left(\operatorname{fHilb}\right)$ are necessarily pure. As a corollary, we answer an…

Recollements of triangulated categories may be seen as exact sequences of such categories. Iterated recollements of triangulated categories are analogues of geometric or topological stratifications and of composition series of algebraic…

We consider Jordan curves of the form $\gamma=\cup_{j=1}^n \gamma_j$ on the Riemann sphere for which each $\gamma_j$ is a hyperbolic geodesic in $(\widehat{\mathbb C} \smallsetminus \gamma)\cup \gamma_j$. These Jordan curves are…

Given a Jordan algebra $A$ and a vector space $V$, we describe and classify all Jordan algebras containing $A$ as a subalgebra of codimension ${\rm dim}_k (V)$ in terms of a non-abelian cohomological type object ${\mathcal J}_{A} \, (V, \,…

A dagger category is a category equipped with a functorial way of reversing morphisms, i.e. a contravariant involutive identity-on-objects endofunctor. Dagger categories with additional structure have been studied under different names e.g.…

We initiate and study the theory of ``real decomposable maps" between real operator systems. Formally, this is new even in the complex case, which hitherto has restricted itself to the case where the systems are complex C*-algebras. We…

The dynamics of all quadratic Newton maps of rational functions are completely described. The Julia set of such a map is found to be either a Jordan curve or totally disconnected. It is proved that no Newton map with degree at least three…
