Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space of dimension not less than $3$ and let ${\mathcal C}$ be a conjugacy class of compact self-adjoint operators on $H$. Suppose that the dimension of the kernels of operators from ${\mathcal C}$ not less than…

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra. Let $E$ and $F$ be Hilbert $A$-modules with $E$ being full. Suppose that $\theta : E\to F$ is a linear map preserving orthogonality, i.e., $<\theta(x), \theta(y) > = 0$ whenever $<x, y > = 0$. We show in this…

We characterize positivity preserving maps $T: B(\mathcal{H})_h \otimes \mathbb{R}[x_1, \dots, x_n] \to B(\mathcal{H})_h \otimes \mathbb{R}[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and on compact sets $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$. This also…

We prove for an arbitrary complex $^*$-algebra $A$ that every topologically irreducible $^*$-representation of $A$ on a Hilbert space is finite dimensional precisely when the Lebesgue decomposition of representable positive functionals over…

We investigate the set a) of positive, trace preserving maps acting on density matrices of size N, and a sequence of its nested subsets: the sets of maps which are b) decomposable, c) completely positive, d) extended by identity impose…

We give a structural characterisation of linear operators from one $C^\ast$% -algebra into another whose adjoints map extreme points of the dual ball onto extreme points. We show that up to a $\ast$-isomorphism, such a map admits of a…

We study the question when for a given *-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ a sequence of cones $C_n\in M_n(\mathcal{A})$ can be realized as cones of positive operators in a faithful *-representation of $\mathcal{A}$ on a Hilbert space. A…

The theory of positive maps plays a central role in operator algebras and functional analysis, and has countless applications in quantum information science. The theory was originally developed for operators acting on complex Hilbert…

A real sequence $(a_k)_{k=0}^\infty$ is called {\it totally positive} if all minors of the infinite Toeplitz matrix $ \left\| a_{j-i} \right\|_{i, j =0}^\infty$ are nonnegative (here $a_k=0$ for $k<0$). In this paper, which continues our…

We show that, given a closed subset $E$ of the unit circle of Lebesgue measure zero, there exists a positive sequence $u_n\to\infty$ with the following property: if $T$ is a Hilbert-space contraction such that $\sigma(T)\subset E$ and…

The structure of the set of positivity-preserving maps between matrix algebras is notoriously difficult to describe. The notable exceptions are the results by St{\o}rmer and Woronowicz from 1960s and 1970s settling the low dimensional…

Maps that preserve adjacency on the set of all invertible hermitian matrices over a finite field are characterized. It is shown that such maps form a group that is generated by the maps $A\mapsto PAP^{\ast}$, $A\mapsto A^{\sigma}$, and…

We will consider completely positive maps defined on tensor products of von Neumann algebras and taking values in the algebra of bounded operators on a Hilbert space and particularly certain convex subsets of the set of such maps. We show…

The objective of this manuscript is to understand the structure of an invertible linear map on the space of real symmetric matrices $\mathcal{S}^n$ that leaves invariant the closed convex cones of copositive and completely positive matrices…

We demonstrate new abstract characterizations for unital and non-unital operator spaces. We characterize unital operator spaces in terms of the cone of accretive operators (operators whose real part is positive). Defining the gauge of an…

We extend some inequalities for normal matrices and positive linear maps related to the Russo-Dye theorem. The results cover the case of some positive linear maps on a von Neumann algebra mapping any nonzero operator to an unbounded…

We examine the fixed space of positive trace-preserving super-operators. We describe a specific structure that this space must have and what the projection onto it must look like. We show how these results, in turn, lead to an alternative…

The contribution of this work is twofold. The first part deals with a Hilbert-space version of McCann's celebrated result on the existence and uniqueness of monotone measure-preserving maps: given two probability measures $\rm P$ and $\rm…

Let H be a complex Hilbert space of dimension no less than 2 and B(H) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. We give the form of surjective maps on B(H) preserving c-numerical range of operator products when the maps satisfy…

The classical as well as non commutative Korovkin-type theorems deal with convergence of positive linear maps with respect to modes of convergences such as norm convergence and weak operator convergence. In this article, Korovkin-type…
