A classical result of Kemperman gives a complete recursive description of the structure of those subsets $A$ and $B$ of an abelian group that fail to satisfy the triangle inequality, i.e., $|A+B|<|A|+|B|$. In this paper, we achieve the…

Motivated by the conjectures formulated in 2003 by Tun\c{c}el et al., we study interlacing properties of the eigenvalues of $A\otimes B + B\otimes A$ for pairs of $n$-by-$n$ matrices $A, B$. We prove that for every pair of symmetric…

The matrix version of the entropy-power inequality for real or complex coefficients and variables is proved using a transportation argument that easily settles the equality case. An application to blind source extraction is given.

We begin to analyze and contrast the predictions for the decay $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ in the Left-Right Symmetric Model(LRM) with those of the Standard Model(SM). In particular, we show that the forward-backward asymmetry of the lepton…

In this note, we show that the Horn cone associated with symplectic eigenvalues admits the same inequalities as the classical Horn cone, except that the equality corresponding to Tr(C) = Tr(A)+Tr(B) is replaced by the inequality…

For two matrices $A$ and $B$, and large $n$, we show that most products of $n$ factors of $e^{A/n}$ and $n$ factors of $e^{B/n}$ are close to $e^{A + B}$. This extends the Lie-Trotter formula. The elementary proof is based on the relation…

The discrepancy of the $n \times n$ greater-than matrix is shown to be $\frac{\pi}{2 \ln n}$ up to lower order terms.

We formulate and discuss a conjecture which would extend a classical inequality of Bernstein.

A new inequality, $(x)^{p}+(1-x)^{\frac{1}{p}}\leq1$ for $p \geq 1$ and $\frac{1}{2} \geq x \geq 0$ is found and proved. The inequality looks elegant as it integrates two number pairs ($x$ and $1-x$, $p$ and $\frac{1}{p}$) whose summation…

Let $M$ be an $n\times n$ matrix with iid subgaussian entries with mean $0$ and variance $1$ and let $\sigma_n(M)$ denote the least singular value of $M$. We prove that \[\mathbb{P}\big( \sigma_{n}(M) \leq \varepsilon n^{-1/2} \big) =…

We present an Oppenheim type determinantal inequality for positive definite block matrices. Recently, Lin [Linear Algebra Appl. 452 (2014) 1--6] proved a remarkable extension of Oppenheim type inequality for block matrices, which solved a…

An isoperimetric inequality on the Hamming cube for exponents $\beta\ge 0.50057$ is proved, achieving equality on any subcube. This was previously known for $\beta\ge \log_2(3/2)\approx 0.585$. Improved bounds are also obtained at the…

The paper establishes the equality condition in the I-MMSE proof of the entropy power inequality (EPI). This is done by establishing an exact expression for the deficit between the two sides of the EPI. Interestingly, a necessary condition…

In this article, we study Hermitian manifolds whose Bismut-Strominger connection has parallel torsion tensor, which will be called {\em Bismut torsion parallel manifolds,} or {\em BTP} manifolds for short. We obtain a necessary and…

The study of polarized branching ratio and different lepton polarization asymmeteries in the exclusive rare decays $B\rightarrow K^{\ast}\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$ ($\ell=\mu , \tau$) have been made in the standard model (SM) and in type III of the…

A new error bound for the linear complementarity problem when the matrix involved is a B-matrix is presented, which improves the corresponding result in [C.Q. Li et al., A new error bound for linear complementarity problems for B-matrices.…

In this article, we have derived the following Leray-Trudinger type inequality on a bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n $ containing the origin. \begin{align*} \displaystyle{\sup_{u\in W^{1,n}_{0}(\Omega), I_{n}[u,\Omega,R]\leq…

The Merino-Welsh conjecture states that for a graph $G$ without loops and bridges the Tutte polynomial $T_G(x,y)$ satisfies the inequality $$\max(T_G(2,0),T_G(0,2))\geqslant T_G(1,1).$$ Later Jackson proved that for any matroid $M$ without…

It is demonstrated that the extended technicolor model proposed recently by Appelquist and Terning has pair of potentially light $U(1)$ Goldstone bosons coupling to ordinary matter with strength $2m_f\over F_{\pi}$, where $m_f$ is the mass…

Let $F$ be a field and a finite $A\subset F$ be sufficiently small in terms of the characteristic $p$ of $F$ if $p>0$. We strengthen the "threshold" sum-product inequality $$|AA|^3 |A\pm A|^2 \gg |A|^6\,,\;\;\;\;\mbox{hence} \;\;…
