Suppose two Hermitian matrices $A,B$ almost commute ($\Vert [A,B] \Vert \leq \delta$). Are they close to a commuting pair of Hermitian matrices, $A',B'$, with $\Vert A-A' \Vert,\Vert B-B'\Vert \leq \epsilon$? A theorem of H. Lin shows that…

The paper is devoted to the following question: consider two self-adjoint $n\times n$-matrices $H_1,H_2$, $\|H_1\|\le 1$, $\|H_2\|\le 1$, such that their commutator $[H_1,H_2]$ is small in some sence. Do there exist such self-adjoint…

We show that a pair of almost commuting self-adjoint, symmetric matrices is close to a pair of commuting self-adjoint, symmetric matrices (in a uniform way). Moreover we prove that the same holds with self-dual in place of symmetric. The…

We show that the norm of the commutator defines "almost a metric" on the quotient space of commuting matrices, in the sense that it is a semi-metric satisfying the triangle inequality asymptotically for large matrices drawn from a "good"…

This paper deals with inference in a class of stable but nearly-unstable processes. Autoregressive processes are considered, in which the bridge between stability and instability is expressed by a time-varying companion matrix $A_{n}$ with…

Our main result is a theorem saying that a bounded operator $A$ on a Hilbert space belongs to a certain set associated with its self-commutator $[A^*,A]$, provided that $A-zI$ can be approximated by invertible operators for all complex…

Let $A$ and $B$ be almost commuting (i.e, $AB-BA\in\bS_1$) self-adjoint operators. We construct a functional calculus $\f\mapsto\f(A,B)$ for $\f$ in the Besov class $B_{\be,1}^1(\R^2)$. This functional calculus is linear, the operators…

The matrix Schroedinger equation with a selfadjoint matrix potential is considered on the half line with the general selfadjoint boundary condition at the origin. When the matrix potential is integrable, the high-energy asymptotics are…

Let $A$ be a complex square matrix, and write its polar decomposition as $A=U|A|$. For $0<\lambda<1$, the $\lambda$-Aluthge transform of $A$ is defined by $$ \Delta_\lambda(A)=|A|^\lambda U|A|^{1-\lambda}. $$ In 2007, Huang and Tam…

The Mertens' first theorem gives us the following asymptotic formula \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{p\leq x\\ p~prime}}\frac{lnp}{p}=lnx+O(1), \end{equation*} and the Mertens' second theorem indicates that there exists a constant…

Anderson's paving conjecture, now known to hold due to the resolution of the Kadison-Singer problem asserts that every zero diagonal Hermitian matrix admits non-trivial pavings with dimension independent bounds. In this paper, we develop a…

We consider two theorems from the theory of compressive sensing. Mainly a theorem concerning uniform recovery of random sampling matrices, where the number of samples needed in order to recover an $s$-sparse signal from linear measurements…

Resolving a conjecture of von Neumann, Ogata's theorem in arXiv:1111.5933 showed the highly nontrivial result that arbitrarily many matrices corresponding to macroscopic observables with $N$ sites and a fixed site dimension $d$ are…

This is a conitunation of [1] and [2]. We prove that if function $f$ belongs to the class $\Lambda_{\omega} \overset{\text{def}}{=} \{f: \omega_{f}(\delta)\leq \text{const} \omega(\delta)\} $ for an arbitrary modulus of continuity $\omega$,…

We shall consider a double infinite, hermitian, complex entry matrix $A=[a_{x,y}]_{x,y\in\mathbb Z}$, with $a_{x,y}^*=a_{y,x}$, $x,y\in\mathbb Z$. Assuming that the matrix is almost of a finite bandwidth, i.e. there exists an integer $n> 0$…

In this document we study the local connectivity of the sets whose elements are $m$-tuples of pairwise commuting normal matrix contractions. Given $\varepsilon>0$, we prove that there is $\delta>0$ such that for any two $m$-tuples of…

In this paper, we consider Strassen's version of optimal transport (OT) problem, which concerns minimizing the excess-cost probability (i.e., the probability that the cost is larger than a given value) over all couplings of two given…

In this short note we prove that a matrix $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n,n}$ is self-adjoint if and only if it is equivariant with respect to the action of a group $\Gamma\subset {\bf O}(n)$ which is isomorphic to $\otimes_{k=1}^n\mathbf{Z}_2$.…
