We prove that the PPT$^2$ conjecture holds for linear maps between matrix algebras which are covariant under the action of the diagonal unitary group. Many salient examples, like the Choi-type maps, depolarizing maps, dephasing maps,…
In this work we show that based on a conjecture for the pair correlation of integers representable as sums of two squares, which was first suggested by Connors and Keating and reformulated here, the second moment of the distribution of the…
Strassen's asymptotic rank conjecture [Progr. Math. 120 (1994)] claims a strong submultiplicative upper bound on the rank of a three-tensor obtained as an iterated Kronecker product of a constant-size base tensor. The conjecture, if true,…
With the help of the recently introduced parametric geometry of numbers by W. M. Schmidt and L. Summerer, we prove a strong version of a conjecture of Schmidt concerning the successive minima of a lattice.
The HRT (Heil-Ramanathan-Topiwala) conjecture stipulates that the set of any finitely many time-frequency shifts of a non-zero square Lebesgue integrable function is linearly independent. The present work settles two special cases of this…
Neven et al. have explored an unexpected alliance between the mathematical insights of Sir Isaac Newton and Ren\'e Descartes which culminates in the reduction of the Positive Partial Transpose (PPT) criterion to an equivalent hierarchy of…
Iizuka's conjecture predicts that, given $m \in \mathbb{N}$ and a prime $p$, there exists infinitely many integers $n$ such that the class numbers of \textit{all} of the following quadratic number fields, \[ \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{n}),\…
The famous Posa conjecture states that every graph of minimum degree at least 2n/3 contains the square of a Hamilton cycle. This has been proved for large n by Koml\'os, Sark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi. Here we prove that if p > n^{-1/2+\eps},…
We consider a bipartite quantum system H_A x H_B with M=dim H_A and N=dim H_B. We study the set E of extreme points of the compact convex set of all states having positive partial transpose (PPT) and its subsets E_r={rho in E: rank rho=r}.…
In 2019, P. Higgins formulated [1] a question about bipartite graphs (see Conjecture 1 below); this question arises in the study of regular finite semigroups. F. V. Petrov formulated [2] another combinatorial conjecture (Conjecture 3);…
The Schinzel Hypothesis is a conjecture about irreducible polynomials in one variable over the integers: under some standard condition, they should assume infinitely many prime values at integers. We consider a relative version: if the…
Our previous work about algebraic-geometric invariants of the mixed states are extended and a stronger separability criterion is given. We also show that the Schmidt number of pure states in bipartite quantum systems, a classical concept,…
The union-closed sets conjecture (Frankl's conjecture) says that for any finite union-closed family of finite sets, other than the family consisting only of the empty set, there exists an element that belongs to at least half of the sets in…
By using techniques of poset representation theory, we present a formula for the number of partitions of a positive integer into three polygonal numbers.
From the Schmidt representation we have that, up to local gates, every 2-qubit state can be written as $[\phi\rangle=\lambda_1 [00\rangle+\lambda_2 [11\rangle$ with $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ real numbers. For 3-qubits states, it is known,…
The distillability conjecture of two-copy 4 by 4 Werner states is one of the main open problems in quantum information. We prove two special cases of the conjecture. The first case occurs when two 4 by 4 matrices A, B are both unitarily…
In this short note we show two completely opposite methods of constructing entangled states. Given a bipartite state $\gamma\in M_k\otimes M_k$, define $\gamma_S=(Id+F)\gamma (Id+F)$, $\gamma_A=(Id-F)\gamma(Id-F)$, where $F\in M_k\otimes…
For positive integers $s$ and $L \geq 3$, Berkovich and Uncu (Ann. Comb. $23$ ($2019$) $263$--$284$) conjectured an inequality between the sizes of two closely related sets of partitions whose parts lie in the interval $\{s, \ldots, L+s\}$.…
The McCarty Conjecture states that any McCarty Matrix (an $n\times n$ matrix $A$ with positive integer entries and each of the $2n$ row and column sums equal to $n$), can be additively decomposed into two other matrices, $B$ and $C$, such…
We study the entanglement cost under quantum operations preserving the positivity of the partial transpose (PPT-operations). We demonstrate that this cost is directly related to the logarithmic negativity, thereby providing the operational…
