In this work we examine quantum states which have non-negative amplitudes (in a fixed basis) and the channels which preserve them. These states include the ground states of stoquastic Hamiltonians and they are of interest since they avoid…

For graph $G$, a connected graph $H$ of order $n$ is said to be $G$-good if $r(G,H)=(\chi(G)-1)(n-1)+s(G)$, where $\chi(G)$ is the chromatic number of $G$ and $s(G)$ is the minimum size of a color class in a $\chi(G)$-coloring of $G$. Let…

A graph is called $(k,t)$-regular if it is $k$-regular and the induced subgraph on the neighbourhood of every vertex is $t$-regular. We find new conditions on $(k,t)$ for the existence of such graphs and provide a wide range of examples.

We improve and generalize some operator inequalities for positive linear maps. It is shown, among other inequalities, that if $0<m\le B\le m'<M'\le A\le M$ or $0<m\le A\le m'<M'\le B\le M$, then for each $2\le p<\infty $ and $\nu \in \left[…

Extending Wigner's theorem we give a characterization of positive maps of $B(H)$ into itself which map the set of rank k projections onto itself.

In [S. Basu, A. Gabrielov, N. Vorobjov, Semi-monotone sets. arXiv:1004.5047v2 (2011)] we defined semi-monotone sets, as open bounded sets, definable in an o-minimal structure over the reals, and having connected intersections with all…

Positive maps which are not completely positive are used in quantum information theory as witnesses for convex sets of states, in particular as entanglement witnesses and more generally as witnesses for states having Schmidt number not…

For a class of linear maps on a von Neumann factor, we associate two objects, bounded operators and trace class operators, both of which play the roles of Choi matrices. Each of them is positive if and only if the original map on the factor…

Bhat characterizes the family of linear maps defined on $B(\mathcal{H})$ which preserve unitary conjugation. We generalize this idea and study the maps with a similar equivariance property on finite-dimensional matrix algebras. We show that…

We show that the typical nonexpansive mapping on a small enough subset of a CAT($\kappa$)-space is a contraction in the sense of Rakotch. By typical we mean that the set of nonexpansive mapppings without this property is a $\sigma$-porous…

Using the polynomial method of Dvir \cite{dvir}, we establish optimal estimates for Kakeya sets and Kakeya maximal functions associated to algebraic varieties $W$ over finite fields $F$. For instance, given an $n-1$-dimensional projective…

A measure-scaling quasi-isometry between two connected graphs is a quasi-isometry that is quasi-$\kappa$-to-one in a natural sense for some $\kappa>0$. For non-amenable graphs, all quasi-isometries are quasi-$\kappa$-to-one for any…

Axiomatic approach to measurement theory is developed. All the possible statistical properties of apparatuses measuring an observable with nondegenerate spectrum allowed in standard quantum mechanics are characterized.

We propose to derive deviation measures through the Minkowski gauge of a given set of acceptable positions. We show that, given a suitable acceptance set, any positive homogeneous deviation measure can be accommodated in our framework. In…

Given a closed, convex and pointed cone K in R^n, we present a result which infers K-irreducibility of sets of K-quasipositive matrices from strong connectedness of certain bipartite digraphs. The matrix-sets are defined via products, and…

Besicovitch showed that a compact set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ which contains a unit line segment in every direction can have measure $0$. These constructions also work over other metric spaces like the $p$-adics and profinite integers. It is…

First, we study constructible subsets of $\A^n_k$ which contain a line in any direction. We classify the smallest such subsets in $\A^3$ of the type $R\cup\{g\neq 0\},$ where $g\in k[x_1,...,x_n]$ is irreducible of degree $d$, and $R\subset…

A linear map between matrix spaces is positive if it maps positive semidefinite matrices to positive semidefinite ones, and is called completely positive if all its ampliations are positive. In this article quantitative bounds on the…

Continuous-variable systems in quantum theory can be fully described through any one of the ${\rm s}$-ordered family of quasiprobabilities $\Lambda_{\rm s}(\alpha)$, ${\rm s} \in [-1,1]$. We ask for what values of $({\rm s}, a)$ is the…

We introduce and study a new type of mappings in metric spaces termed $n$-point Kannan-type mappings. A fixed-point theorem is proved for these mappings. In general case such mappings are discontinuous in the domain but necessarily…
