We give a simple direct proof of the Jamiolkowski criterion to check whether a linear map between matrix algebras is completely positive or not. This proof is more accesible for physicists than others found in the literature and provides a…

We give a complete structural characterisation of the map the positive branch of a one-way pattern implements. We start with the representation of the positive branch in terms of the phase map decomposition, which is then further analysed…

We establish explicit means via which natural dilations of completely positive (CP) maps can be constructed \`a la Kraus's IInd representation theorem. To obtain this, we rely on the Choi-Jamio{\l}kowski correspondence and develop a…

The purpose of this short note is to clarify and present a general version of an interesting observation by Piani and Mora (Physic. Rev. A 75, 012305 (2007)), linking complete positivity of linear maps on matrix algebras to decomposability…

We develop a Kubo--Ando theory on order intervals of completely positive maps. Using Arveson's Radon--Nikodym theorem as a structural tool, we define relative Kubo--Ando means \(\Phi\sigma_\Omega\Psi\) for completely positive maps dominated…

We show that an operator valued $\alpha$-completely positive map on a group G is given by a unitary representation of G on a Krein space which satisfies some condition. Moreover, two unitary equivalent such unitary representations define…

We introduce the family of $k$-gap-planar graphs for $k \geq 0$, i.e., graphs that have a drawing in which each crossing is assigned to one of the two involved edges and each edge is assigned at most $k$ of its crossings. This definition is…

A theorem of A. Ostrowski describing meromorphic functions f such that the family {f(kz):k in C*} is normal, is generalized to holomorphic maps from $C*$ to a projective space.

We introduce a countable collection of positivity classes for Hermitian symmetric functions on a complex manifold, and establish their basic properties. We study a related notion of stability. The first main result shows that, if the…

We consider 2-positive almost order zero (disjointness preserving) maps on C*-algebras. Generalizing the argument of M. Choi for multiplicative domains, we give an internal characterization of almost order zero for 2-positive maps. It is…

We characterize all translation invariant half planar maps satisfying a certain natural domain Markov property. For p-angulations with p \ge 3 where all faces are simple, we show that these form a one-parameter family of measures…

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.

For a nonnegative integer $k$, a graph $G$ is said to be $k$-factor-critical if $G-Q$ admits a perfect matching for any $Q\subseteq V(G)$ with $|Q|=k$. In this article, we prove spectral radius conditions for the existence of…

We provide a universal characterization of the construction taking a scheme $X$ to its stable $\infty$-category $\text{Mot}(X)$ of noncommutative motives, patterned after the universal characterization of algebraic K-theory due to…

In this paper, we investigate $\Phi$-maps associated to a certain type of $\alpha$-completely positive maps. We then prove a KSGNS (Kasparov--Stinespring--Gel'fand--Naimark--Segal) type theorem for $\alpha $-completely positive maps on…

For two positive maps $\phi_i:B(\mathcal{K}_i)\to B(\mathcal{H}_i)$, $i=1,2$, we construct a new linear map $\phi:B(\mathcal{H})\to B(\mathcal{K})$, where $\mathcal{K}=\mathcal{K}_1\oplus\mathcal{K}_2\oplus\mathbb{C}$,…

In this paper, we mainly study the trace norm of the adjacency matrix of a graph, also known as the energy of graph. We give the maximum trace norms for the graph and its complement. In fact, the above problem is stated and solved in a more…

In $\mathbb R^n$, we parametrize Kakeya sets using Kakeya maps. A Kakeya map is defined to be a map $$\phi:B^{n-1}(0,1)\times [0,1]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n}, (v,t)\mapsto (c(v)+tv,t),$$ where $ c:B^{n-1}(0,1)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n-1}$.…

We initiate a study of linear maps on $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ that have the property that they factor through a tracial von Neumann algebra $(\mathcal{A,\tau})$ via operators $Z\in M_n(\mathcal{A})$ whose entries consist of positive elements from…

For a singular probability measure $\mu$ on the circle, we show the existence of positive matrices on the unit disc which admit a boundary representation on the unit circle with respect to $\mu$. These positive matrices are constructed in…
