We prove a deterministic analogue of Rudelson's sampling theorem for sums of positive semidefinite matrices. Let $A_1,\dots,A_m$ be positive semidefinite \(d\times d\) matrices, and let $\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_m \ge 0$ satisfy \[…

We prove the linearity and injectivity of two maps $\phi_1$ and $\phi_2$ on certain subsets of $M_n$ that satisfy $\operatorname{tr}(\phi_1(A)\phi_2(B))=\operatorname{tr}(AB)$. We apply it to characterize maps $\phi_i:\mathcal{S}\to…

We introduce two equations expressing the inverse determinant of a full rank matrix $\mathbf{A} \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ in terms of expectations over matrix-vector products. The first relationship is $|\mathrm{det} (\mathbf{A})|^{-1} =…

We prove a conjectured determinantal inequality: \frac{\det J}{\prod_{i=1}^nJ_{ii}}\le 2(1-\frac{1}{n-1})^{n-1}, where $J$ is a real $n\times n$ ($n\ge 2$) diagonally balanced symmetric matrix.

We characterize the fractional Dehn twist coefficient (FDTC) on the $n$-stranded braid group as the unique homogeneous quasimorphism to the real numbers of defect at most 1 that equals 1 on the positive full twist and vanishes on the…

Any associative bilinear multiplication on the set of n-by-n matrices over some field of characteristic not two, that makes the same vectors orthogonal and has the same trace as ordinary matrix multiplication, must be ordinary matrix…

We propose a definition of the Riemannian median $M(\mathbb{A})$ of a tuple of positive-definite matrices $\mathbb{A}:=(A_{1}, \cdots, A_{n})$. We will define it as a positive-definite matrix using Landers and Rogge's work \cite{Lan81}…

Let $A$ be an elliptic pseudodifferential operator of positive order on a compact closed manifold, and let $T$ be a pseudodifferential operator of negative order such that $T^m$ is of trace class. We compute $\log\det(A(I+T))-\log\det…

A long-standing conjecture asserts that the polynomial \[p(t) = \text{Tr}[(A+tB)^m]\] has nonnegative coefficients whenever $m$ is a positive integer and $A$ and $B$ are any two $n \times n$ positive semidefinite Hermitian matrices. The…

A partial matrix is a matrix where only some of the entries are given. We determine the maximum rank of the symmetric completions of a symmetric partial matrix where only the diagonal blocks are given and the minimum rank and the maximum…

Let $A,\;B$ be the positive semidefinite matrices. A matrix version of the famous Powers-St{\o}rmer's inequality $$2Tr(A^\alpha B^{1-\alpha})\geq Tr(A+B-|A-B|),\;\;\;0\leq\alpha\leq 1,$$ was proven by Audenaert et. al. We establish a…

We describe all inequalities among generalized diagonals in positive semi-definite matrices. These turn out to be governed by a simple partial order on the symmetric group. This provides an analogue of results of Drake, Gerrish, and…

Certain trace inequalities related to matrix logarithm are shown. These results enable us to give a partial answer of the open problem conjectured by A.S.Holevo. That is, concavity of the auxiliary function which appears in the random…

The partial transpose of a block matrix M is the matrix obtained by transposing the blocks of M independently. We approach the notion of partial transpose from a combinatorial point of view. In this perspective, we solve some basic…
