We characterize the existence of minimal idempotent ultrafilters (on N) in the style of reverse mathematics and higher-order reverse mathematics using the Auslander-Ellis theorem and variant thereof. We obtain that the existence of minimal…
For bipartite quantum states we obtain lower bounds on two important entanglement measures, concurrence and negativity, studying the inequalities for the expectation value of a projector on some subspace of the Hilbert space. Several…
The determinantal variety $\Sigma_{pq}$ is defined to be the set of all $p\times q$ real matrices with $p\geq q$ whose ranks are strictly smaller than $q$. It is proved that $\Sigma_{pq}$ is a minimal cone in $\mathbb R^{pq}$ and all its…
In this paper semirings with an idempotent addition are considered. These algebraic structures are endowed with a partial order. This allows to consider residuated maps to solve systems of inequalities $A \otimes X \preceq B$. The purpose…
An equational condition is a set of equations in an algebraic language, and an algebraic structure satisfies such a condition if it possesses terms that meet the required equations. We find a single nontrivial equational condition which is…
We consider successive measurements of position and momentum of a single particle. Let P be the conditional probability to measure the momentum k with precision dk, given a previously successful position measurement q with precision dq.…
The difficulty for solving ill-posed linear operator equations in Hilbert space is reflected by the strength of ill-posedness of the governing operator, and the inherent solution smoothness. In this study we focus on the ill-posedness of…
Coherent subspaces spanned by a finite number of coherent states are introduced, in a quantum system with Hilbert space that has odd prime dimension $d$. The set of all coherent subspaces is partitioned into equivalence classes, with $d^2$…
In this paper, we study the non trivial idempotents of the $2 \times 2$ matrix ring over the polynomial ring $\mathbb{Z}_{pqr}[x]$ for distinct primes $p, q $ and $r$ greater than $3$. We have classified all the idempotents of this matrix…
A finite group G is exceptional if it has a quotient Q whose minimal faithful permutation degree is greater than that of G. We say that Q is a distinguished quotient. The smallest examples of exceptional p-groups have order p^5. For an odd…
A nilpotent endomorphism of a quiver representation induces a linear transformation on the vector space at each vertex. Generically among all nilpotent endomorphisms, there is a well-defined Jordan form for these linear transformations,…
It is shown that finite groups in which the order of the product of every pair of elements of co-prime order is the product of the orders, is nilpotent.
We develop a method of reducing the size of quantum minors in the algebra of n x n quantum matrices. The method is used to show that quantum determinantal factor rings of n x n quantum matrices over the complex numbers are maximal orders,…
We describe the norm-closures of the set $\mathfrak{C}_{\mathfrak{E}}$ of commutators of idempotent operators and the set $\mathfrak{E} - \mathfrak{E}$ of differences of idempotent operators acting on a finite-dimensional complex Hilbert…
We consider d-minimal expansions of ordered fields. We demonstrate the existence of definable quotients of definable sets by definable equivalence relations when several technical conditions are satisfied. These conditions are satisfied…
We study the set ${\cal C}$ consisting of pairs of orthogonal projections $P,Q$ acting in a Hilbert space ${\cal H}$ such that $PQ$ is a compact operator. These pairs have a rich geometric structure which we describe here. They are parted…
The structure of all graphs having minimum rank at most k over a finite field with q elements is characterized for any possible k and q. A strong connection between this characterization and polarities of projective geometries is explained.…
We introduce Q-space, the tensor product of an index space with a primary space, to achieve a more general mathematical description of correlations in terms of q-tuples. Topics discussed include the decomposition of Q-space into a…
We study some fundamental issues related to the Hilbert space representation of quantum mechanics in the presence of a minimal length and maximal momentum. In this framework, the maximally localized states and quasi-position representation…
