Suppose a map $\phi$ on the set of positive definite matrices satisfies $\det(A+B)=\det(\phi(A)+\phi(B))$. Then we have $${\rm tr}(AB^{-1}) = {\rm tr}(\phi(A){\phi(B)}^{-1}).$$ Through this viewpoint, we show that $\phi$ is of the form…

The classic graphical Cheeger inequalities state that if $M$ is an $n\times n$ symmetric doubly stochastic matrix, then \[ \frac{1-\lambda_{2}(M)}{2}\leq\phi(M)\leq\sqrt{2\cdot(1-\lambda_{2}(M))} \] where…

Given its non-renormalization properties, low-energy supersymmetry provides an attractive framework for extending the Standard Model and for resolving the hierarchy problem. Models with softly broken N =1 supersymmetry were extensively…

We identify a region $\Bbb{W}_{\f{1}{3}}$ in a Grassmann manifold $\grs{n}{m}$, not covered by a usual matrix coordinate chart, with the following important property. For a complete $n-$submanifold in $\ir{n+m} \, (n\ge 3, m\ge2)$ with…

We investigate linear maps between matrix algebras that remain positive under tensor powers, i.e., under tensoring with $n$ copies of themselves. Completely positive and completely co-positive maps are trivial examples of this kind. We show…

This paper studies the behavior under iteration of the maps T_{ab}(x,y)=(F_{ab}(x)-y,x) of the plane R^2, in which F_{ab}(x)=ax if x>=0 and bx if x<0. The orbits under iteration correspond to solutions of the nonlinear difference equation…

For sp(n+2) and each exceptional Lie algebra a realization of depth 2 preserving the spaces spanned by a contact one-form and a bilinear form is given. For e_7 and e_6 a realization of depth 1 preserving a lightcone and the space spanned by…

Guardian maps are scalar maps that vanish when a matrix or polynomial is on the verge of stability. Several guardian maps have been proposed in the literature for Hurwitz stability based on the Kronecker sum, the second lower Schl\"aflian…

Harmonic morphisms, maps which preserve Laplace's equation, are intimately connected to the topic of minimal submanifolds. In this article we first characterise harmonic morphisms between Riemannian manifolds as the weakly horizontally…

We show that wave maps $\phi$ from two-dimensional Minkowski space $\R^{1+2}$ to hyperbolic spaces $\H^m$ are globally smooth in time if the initial data is smooth, conditionally on some reasonable claims concerning the local theory of such…

This paper studies a fascinating type of filter in residuated lattices, the so-called pure filters. A combination of algebraic and topological methods on the pure filters of a residuated lattice is applied to obtain some new structural…

In this paper, we study the fluctuation of linear eigenvalue statistics of Random Band Matrices defined by $M_{n}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{b_{n}}}W_{n}$, where $W_{n}$ is a $n\times n$ band Hermitian random matrix of bandwidth $b_{n}$, i.e., the…

The Perron-Frobenius theory for nonnegative matrices has been generalized to order-preserving homogeneous mappings on a cone and more recently to nonnegative multilinear forms. We unify both approaches by introducing the concept of…

The adjacency matrices of graphs form a special subset of the set of all integer symmetric matrices. The description of which graphs have all their eigenvalues in the interval [-2,2] (i.e., those having spectral radius at most 2) has been…

Linear preserver problems have been a central focus of research in matrix theory and operator theory for more than a century, beginning with Frobenius' 1897 characterization of determinant preserving linear maps on the space of complex…

Experiments suggest that typical finite sets of square matrices admit spectrum maximizing products (SMPs): that is, products that attain the joint spectral radius (JSR). Furthermore, those SMPs are often combinatorially "simple." In this…

We consider an interacting Lifshitz field with z=3 in a curved spacetime. We analyze the renormalizability of the theory for interactions of the form lambda phi^n, with arbitrary even n. We compute the running of the coupling constants both…

This paper studies the behavior under iteration of the maps T_{ab}(x,y) = (F_{ab}(x)- y, x) of the plane R^2, in which F_{ab}(x)= ax if x>0 and bx if x<0. These maps are area-preserving homeomorphisms of the plane that map rays from the…

This paper mainly concerns the KAM persistence of the mapping $\mathscr{F}:\mathbb{T}^{n}\times E\rightarrow \mathbb{T}^{n}\times \mathbb{R}^{n}$ with intersection property, where $E\subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ is a connected closed bounded…

We extend the results of our recent preprint [arXiv: 1811.00515] into higher dimensions $n \geq 4$. For minimizing harmonic maps $u\in W^{1,2}(\Omega,\mathbb{S}^2)$ from $n$-dimensional domains into the two dimensional sphere we prove: (1)…
