Let $m,n\ge 2$ be integers. Denote by $M_n$ the set of $n\times n$ complex matrices. Let $\|\cdot\|_{(p,k)}$ be the $(p,k)$ norm on $M_{mn}$ with $1\leq k\leq mn$ and $2<p<\infty$. We show that a linear map $\phi:M_{mn}\rightarrow M_{mn}$…

We prove that the only entrywise transforms of rectangular matrices which preserve total positivity or total non-negativity are either constant or linear. This follows from an extended classification of preservers of these two properties…

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, $B(H)$ the $C^*$-algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H,$ $U(B(H))$ the unitary group of $B(H)$ and ${\cal K}\subset B(H)$ the ideal of compact operators. Let $G$ be a…

The phenomenological dissipation of the Bloch equations is reexamined in the context of completely positive maps. Such maps occur if the dissipation arises from a reduction of a unitary evolution of a system coupled to a reservoir. In such…

We expand the set of initial states of a system and its environment that are known to guarantee completely positive reduced dynamics for the system when the combined state evolves unitarily. We characterize the correlations in the initial…

The principal theorem of Sz.-Nagy on dilation of a positive definite Hilbert space operator valued function has played a central role in the development of the non-self-adjoint operator theory. In this paper we introduce the positive…

This note considers the maximal positively invariant set for polynomial discrete time dynamics subject to constraints specified by a basic semialgebraic set. The note utilizes a relatively direct, but apparently overlooked, fact stating…

We solve the wavelet set existence problem. That is, we characterize the full-rank lattices $\Gamma\subset \mathbb R^n$ and invertible $n \times n$ matrices $A$ for which there exists a measurable set $W$ such that $\{W + \gamma: \gamma \in…

For nonlinear wave equations with a potential term we prove pointwise space-time decay estimates and develop a perturbation theory for small initial data. We show that the perturbation series has a positive convergence radius by a method…

For linear operators $L, T$ and nonlinear maps $P$, we describe classes of simple maps $F = I - P T$, $F = L - P$ between Banach and Hilbert spaces, for which no point has more than two preimages. The classes encompass known examples…

Consider a continuous surjective self map of the open annulus with degree d > 1. It is proved that the number of Nielsen classes of periodic points is maximum possible whenever f has a completely invariant essential continuum. The same…

Boundary analysis is developed for a rich class of generally infinite weighted graphs with compact metric completions. These graph completions have totally disconnected boundaries. The classical notion of $\epsilon$-components and the…

A dynamical map is a map which takes one density operator to another. Such a map can be written in an operator-sum representation (OSR) using a spectral decomposition. The method of the construction applies to more general maps which need…

King and Ruskai asked whether the norm of a completely positive map acting between Schatten classes of operators is equal to that of its restriction to the real subspace of self-adjoint operators. Proofs have been promptly supplied by…

We consider a closed set S in R^n and a linear operator \Phi on the polynomial algebra R[X_1,...,X_n] that preserves nonnegative polynomials, in the following sense: if f\geq 0 on S, then \Phi(f)\geq 0 on S as well. We show that each such…

A linear map between real symmetric matrix spaces is positive if all positive semidefinite matrices are mapped to positive semidefinite ones. A real symmetric matrix is separable if it can be written as a summation of Kronecker products of…

We describe the structure of all bijective maps on the cone of positive definite operators acting on a finite and at least two-dimensional complex Hilbert space which preserve the quantum $\chi_\alpha^2$-divergence for some $\alpha \in…

This is a continuation of the study of the theory of quantum stochastic dilation of completely positive semigroups on a von Neumann or $C^*$ algebra, here with unbounded generators. The additional assumption of symmetry with respect to a…

We generalize previous results and demonstrate that the Dirac representation theory can be effectively adjusted and applied to continuous or discrete signals of infinite time duration. The role of the identity and projection operators is…

A predilator is a particularly uniform transformation of linear orders. We have a dilator when the transformation preserves well-foundedness. Over the theory $\mathsf{ACA}_0$ from reverse mathematics, any $\Pi^1_2$-formula is equivalent to…
