On Euclidean spaces, the Gaussian kernel is one of the most widely used kernels in applications. It has also been used on non-Euclidean spaces, where it is known that there may be (and often are) scale parameters for which it is not…

Convex sets of completely positive maps and positive semidefinite kernels are considered in the most general context of modules over $C^*$-algebras and a complete charaterization of their extreme points is obtained. As a byproduct, we…

We study the total positivity of the kernel $1/(x^2 + 2 \cos(\pi\a)xy +y^2).$ The case of infinite order is characterized by an application of Schoenberg's theorem. We then give necessary conditions for the cases of any given finite order…
