We show that separable, nuclear and strongly purely infinite C*-algebras have finite nuclear dimension. In fact, the value is at most three. This exploits a deep structural result of Kirchberg and R{\o}rdam on strongly purely infinite…
We state a kind of Euclidian division theorem: given a polynomial P(x) and a divisor d of the degree of P, there exist polynomials h(x),Q(x),R(x) such that P(x) = h(Q(x)) +R(x), with deg h=d. Under some conditions h,Q,R are unique, and Q is…
Extension dimension is characterized in terms of $\omega$-maps. We apply this result to prove that extension dimension is preserved by refinable maps between metrizable spaces. It is also shown that refinable maps preserve some…
Given an autohomeomorphism on an ordered topological space or its subspace, we show that it is sometimes possible to introduce a new topology-compatible order on that space so that the same map is monotonic with respect to the new ordering.…
We study $k$-positive linear maps on matrix algebras and address two problems, (i) characterizations of $k$-positivity and (ii) generation of non-decomposable $k$-positive maps. On the characterization side, we derive optimization-based…
For systems described by finite matrices, an affine form is developed for the maps that describe evolution of density matrices for a quantum system that interacts with another. This is established directly from the Heisenberg picture. It…
We present a comprehensive structural characterization of two different highly pure nuclear graphites that compasses all relevant length scales from nanometers to sub-mm. This has been achieved by combining several experiments and neutron…
We provide a class of optimal nondecomposable entanglement witnesses for 4N x 4N composite quantum systems or, equivalently, a new construction of nondecomposable positive maps in the algebra of 4N x 4N complex matrices. This construction…
We provide a constructive algorithm to find the best separable approximation to an arbitrary density matrix of a composite quantum system of finite dimensions. The method leads to a condition of separability and to a measure of…
We define the extra-nice dimensions and prove that the subset of locally stable 1-parameter families in $C^{\infty}(N\times[0,1],P)$, also known as pseudo-isotopies, is dense if and only if the pair of dimensions $(\dim N, \dim P)$ is in…
A matching $M$ in a graph $\Gamma$ is positive if $\Gamma$ has a vertex-labeling such that $M$ coincides with the set of edges with positive weights. A positive matching decomposition (pmd) of $\Gamma$ is an edge-partition $M_1,\ldots,M_p$…
Let $P$ and $Q$ be two simple polygons in the plane of total complexity $n$, each of which can be decomposed into at most $k$ convex parts. We present an $(1-\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm, for finding the translation of $Q$, which…
Quadrilaterals in the complex plane play a significant part in the theory of planar quasiconformal mappings. Motivated by the geometric definition of quasiconformality, we prove that every quadrilateral with modulus in an interval $[1/K,…
Can a large system be fully characterized using its subsystems via inductive reasoning? Is it possible to completely reduce the behavior of a complex system to the behavior of its simplest "atoms"? In the following paper we answer these…
Absolute Parallelism (AP) has many interesting features: large symmetry group of equations; field irreducibility with respect to this group; vast list of consistent second order equations not restricted to Lagrangian ones. There is the…
Density matrices are the most general descriptions of quantum states, covering both pure and mixed states. Positive semidefiniteness is a physical requirement of density matrices, imposing nonnegative probabilities of measuring physical…
We show that if X is a finite dimensional locally compact Hausdorff space, then the crossed product of C_0(X) by any automorphism has finite nuclear dimension. This generalizes previous results, in which the automorphism was required to be…
We develop a general procedure for reduction along strong Dirac maps, which are a broad generalization of Poisson momentum maps. We recover a large number of familiar constructions in Poisson and quasi-Poisson geometry, and we introduce new…
Originally developed for imputing missing entries in low rank, or approximately low rank matrices, matrix completion has proven widely effective in many problems where there is no reason to assume low-dimensional linear structure in the…
Quality of approximations is an important issue in modelling nuclear matter. It is shown that the Pad{\' e} approximation provides a useful tool for describing the symmetry energy in highly asymmetric systems. The focus is on the symmetry…
