An identity is proven that evaluates the determinant of a block tridiagonal matrix with (or without) corners as the determinant of the associated transfer matrix (or a submatrix of it).

Let y1, y2, y3, a1, a2, a3 > 0 be such that y1 y2 y3 = a1 a2 a3 and y1 + y2 + y3 >= a1 + a2 + a3, y1 y2 + y2 y3 + y1 y3 >= a1 a2 + a2 a3 + a1 a3. Then the following inequality holds (log y1)^2 + (log y2)^2 + (log y3)^2 >= (log a1)^2 + (log…

The partial transpose map is a linear map widely used quantum information theory. We study the equality condition for a matrix inequality generated by partial transpose, namely $\rank(\sum^K_{j=1} A_j^T \otimes B_j)\le K \cdot…

Let $T$ be a tree on $n$ vertices whose edge weights are positive definite matrices of order $s$. The squared distance matrix of $T$, denoted by $\Delta$, is the $ns \times ns$ block matrix with $\Delta_{ij}=d(i,j)^2$, where $d(i,j)$ is the…

The notion of fractional minimal rank of a partial matrix is introduced, a quantity that lies between the triangular minimal rank and the minimal rank of a partial matrix. The fractional minimal rank of partial matrices whose bipartite…

Moment inequality for quadratic forms of random vectors is of particular interest in covariance matrix testing and estimation problems. In this paper, we prove a Rosenthal-type inequality, which exhibits new features and certain improvement…

The Seidel matrix of a tournament on $n$ players is an $n\times n$ skew-symmetric matrix with entries in $\{0, 1, -1\}$ that encapsulates the outcomes of the games in the given tournament. It is known that the determinant of an $n\times n$…

We use nearly parallel pure states to characterize positive linear functionals $\phi$ on $\mathbb{M}_n$ as positive multiples of the trace if and only if $\phi(A \natural B) \leq \sqrt{\phi(A) \phi(B)}$ for all positive definite matrices…

Main result: If a C*-algebra is simple, $\sigma$-unital, has finitely many extremal traces, and has strict comparison of positive elements by traces, then its multiplier also has strict comparison of positive elements by traces. The same…

We generalize the notion of a modified trace (or m-trace) to the setting of non-unimodular categories. M-traces are known to play an important role in low-dimensional topology and representation theory, as well as in studying the category…

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…
