In [4] we developed the theory of positive cones on finite-dimensional simple algebras with involution, inspired by the classical Artin-Schreier theory of orderings on fields, and based on the notion of signatures of hermitian forms [1]. In…
We introduce positive cones on algebras with involution. These allow us to prove analogues of Artin's solution to Hilbert's 17th problem, the Artin-Schreier theorem characterizing formally real fields, and to define signatures with respect…
We provide a coherent picture of our efforts thus far in extending real algebra and its links to the theory of quadratic forms over ordered fields in the noncommutative direction, using hermitian forms and "ordered" algebras with…
We introduced positive cones in an earlier paper as a notion of ordering on central simple algebras with involution that corresponds to signatures of hermitian forms. In the current paper we describe signatures of hermitian forms directly…
We show that the theories of some (ordered) central simple algebras with involution over real closed fields are model-complete or admit quantifier elimination, and characterize positive cones in terms of morphisms into models of some of…
Associative algebras with involution over a field of zero characteristic are considered. It is proved that in this case for any finitely generated associative algebra with involution there exists a finite dimensional algebra with involution…
We study gradings by abelian groups on associative algebras with involution over an arbitrary field. Of particular importance are the fine gradings (that is, those that do not admit a proper refinement), because any grading on a…
We introduce and study in detail the notion of compatibility between valuations and orderings in real hyperfields. We investigate their relation with valuations and orderings induced on factor and residue hyperfields. Much of the theory…
After recalling the definition of Zilber fields, and the main conjecture behind them, we prove that Zilber fields of cardinality up to the continuum have involutions, i.e., automorphisms of order two analogous to complex conjugation on…
We study the homogeneous involutions on the full square matrices over an algebraically closed field endowed with a division grading with commutative support. We obtain the classification of the isomorphism and equivalence classes for the…
A broad class of contour gauges is shown to be determined by admissible contractions of the geometrical region considered and a suitable equivalence class of curves is defined. In the special case of magnetostatics, the relevant…
We introduce the notion of maximal orders over quaternion algebras with orthogonal involution and give a classification over local fields, and a partial classification over algebraic number fields.
In this paper we describe graded automorphisms and antiautomorphisms of finite order on matrix algebras endowed with a group gradings by a finite abelian group over an arbitrary algebraically closed field of charcteristic different from 2.
What is a vector field on a C*-algebra is defined. Its relation to semigroups of endomorphisms was researched. Some results given about those vector fields and semigroups. There are also various constructions of semigroups including one…
We study possible decompositions of totally decomposable algebras with involution, that is, tensor products of quaternion algebras with involution. In particular, we are interested in decompositions in which one or several factors are the…
We introduce the notion of one-sided mapping cones of positive linear maps between matrix algebras. These are convex cones of maps that are invariant under compositions by completely positive maps from either the left or right side. The…
This article explores the relationship between Garding cones, demonstrating that the shift cone $\overline{\Gamma}^{+}_{2}(\alpha)$ is contained in $\overline{\mathcal{P}}_{m}$. By combining these results with the study of positivity…
Gauge-invariant polynomial functions of matrix and tensor variables capture combinatorial structures of gauge-string duality, which can be usefully organised using finite-dimensional associative algebras. I review recent work on eigenvalue…
Positive twisted traces are mathematical objects that could be useful in computing certain parameters of superconformal field theories. The case when $\mathcal{A}$ is a $q$-Weyl algebra and $\rho$ is a certain antilinear automorphism of…
We study the relation between algebraic structures and Graph Theory. We have defined five different weighted digraphs associated to a finite dimensional algebra over a field in order to tackle important properties of the associated…
