Let $D$ be a bounded convex domain in $\mathbb{C}$ with a regular analytic boundary. Suppose that the numerical range $W(A)$ of a bounded linear operator $A$ is contained in $\overline{D}$. If $\overline{W(A)}$ intersects the boundary…

Let ${\bf M}_n(\mathbb{F})$ be the algebra of $n\times n$ matrices over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$. We consider linear maps $\Phi: {\bf M}_n(\mathbb{F}) \rightarrow {\bf M}_r(\mathbb{F})$ preserving matrices annihilated by a fixed…

Positive bi-linear maps between matrix algebras play important roles to detect tri-partite entanglement by the duality between bi-linear maps and tri-tensor products. We exhibit indecomposable positive bi-linear maps between $2\times 2$…

In \cite{CMW19}, the authors introduced $k$-entanglement breaking linear maps to understand the entanglement breaking property of completely positive maps on taking composition. In this article, we do a systematic study of $k$-entanglement…

In this paper first we give a partial answer to a question of L. Moln\'ar and W. Timmermann. Namely, we will describe those linear (not necessarily bijective) transformations on the set of self-adjoint matrices which preserve a unitarily…

We give a general method of extending unital completely positive maps to amalgamated free products of C*-algebras. As an application we give a dilation theoretic proof of Boca's Theorem.

We improve and generalize some operator inequalities for positive linear maps. It is shown, among other inequalities, that if $0<m\le B\le m'<M'\le A\le M$ or $0<m\le A\le m'<M'\le B\le M$, then for each $2\le p<\infty $ and $\nu \in \left[…

We consider the electromagnetic field in a cavity with a periodically oscillating perfectly reflecting boundary and show that the mathematical theory of circle maps leads to several physical predictions. Notably, well-known results in the…

Models that provide experimentally testable violations of ordinary Quantum Mechanics have been recently proposed. These models are based on non-unitary time evolutions of density matrices that are generated by linear positive maps. We…

We show that a positive linear map preserves local continuity (convergence) of the entropy if and only if it preserves finiteness of the entropy, i.e. transforms operators with finite entropy to operators with finite entropy. The last…

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…

In this paper, we show that a $D$-type map $\Phi_D:M_n\rightarrow M_n$ with $D=(n-2)I_n+P_{\pi_1}+P_{\pi_2}$ induced by a pair $\{\pi_1,\pi_2\}$ of permutations of $(1,2,..., n)$ is positive if $\{\pi_1,\pi_2\}$ has property (C). The…

We study the dynamics of the renormalization operator for multimodal maps. In particular, we prove the exponential convergence of this operator for infinitely renormalizable maps with same bounded combinatorial type.

We study a nonlinear decomposition of a positive definite matrix into two components: the inverse of another positive definite matrix and a symmetric matrix constrained to lie in a prescribed linear subspace. Equivalently, the inverse…

We introduce the notions of kernel map and kernel set of a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space relative to a subspace lattice. The characterization of the kernel maps and kernel sets of finite rank operators leads to showing that…

For a commutative C*-algebra $\mathcal A$ with unit $e$ and a Hilbert~$\mathcal A$-module $\mathcal M$, denote by End$_{\mathcal A}(\mathcal M)$ the algebra of all bounded $\mathcal A$-linear mappings on $\mathcal M$, and by…

We consider contractive homomorphisms of a planar algebra ${\mathcal A}(\Omega)$ over a finitely connected bounded domain $\Omega \subseteq \C$ and ask if they are necessarily completely contractive. We show that a homomorphism…

An operator convex function on (0,\infty) which satisfies the symmetry condition k(1/x) = x k(x) can be used to define a type of non-commutative multiplication by a positive definite matrix (or its inverse) using the primitive concepts of…

We provide a characterization for operator valued completely bounded linear maps on Hilbert $C^*$-modules in terms of $\varphi$-maps. Also, we show that for every operator valued completely positive map $\varphi$ on a $C^*$-algebra…

Semipositive matrices (matrices that map at least one nonnegative vector to a positive vector) and minimally semipositive matrices (semipositive matrices whose no column-deleted submatrix is semipositive) are well studied in matrix theory.…
