Let $A,\;B$ be the positive semidefinite matrices. A matrix version of the famous Powers-St{\o}rmer's inequality $$2Tr(A^\alpha B^{1-\alpha})\geq Tr(A+B-|A-B|),\;\;\;0\leq\alpha\leq 1,$$ was proven by Audenaert et. al. We establish a…

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we obtain a Schwarz-Pick type lemma for the $\alpha$-harmonic mapping $u=P_{\alpha}[\phi]$, where $\phi\in L^{p}(\mathbb{S}^{n-1},\mathbb{R} )$ and $p\in[1,\infty]$. We get an explicit form of the…

Let $A, B$ and $X$ be $n\times n$ matrices such that $A, B$ are positive semidefinite. We present some refinements of the matrix Cauchy-Schwarz inequality by using some integration techniques and various refinements of the Hermite--Hadamard…

We use a new idea that emerged in the examination of exposed positive maps between matrix algebras to investigate in more detail the difference between positive maps on $M_2(C)$ and $M_3(C)$. Our main tool stems from classical Grothendieck…

Let C be an additive subgroup of $\Z_{2k}^n$ for any $k\geq 1$. We define a Gray map $\Phi:\Z_{2k}^n \longrightarrow \Z_2^{kn}$ such that $\Phi(\codi)$ is a binary propelinear code and, hence, a Hamming-compatible group code. Moreover,…

A graph is Schur-positive if its chromatic symmetric function expands non-negatively in the Schur basis. We determine a full Schur-positivity classification for complete multipartite graphs by showing that a complete multipartite graph…

The partial transpose map is a linear map widely used quantum information theory. We study the equality condition for a matrix inequality generated by partial transpose, namely $\rank(\sum^K_{j=1} A_j^T \otimes B_j)\le K \cdot…

Let $\varphi$ be a normal state on the algebra $B(H)$ of all bounded operators on a Hilbert space $H$, $f$ a strictly positive, continuous function on $(0, \infty)$, and let $g$ be a function on $(0, \infty)$ defined by $g(t) =…

Recall that if $(M^n,g)$ satisfies $\mathrm{Ric}\geq 0$, then the Li-Yau Differential Harnack Inequality tells us for each nonnegative $f:M\to \mathbb{R}^+$, with $f_t$ its heat flow, that $\frac{\Delta f_t}{f_t}-\frac{|\nabla…

The concept of the {\em half density matrix} is proposed. It unifies the quantum states which are described by density matrices and physical processes which are described by completely positive maps. With the help of the half-density-matrix…

Kadison--Schwarz (KS) maps form a natural class of positive linear maps lying strictly between positivity and complete positivity. Despite their relevance in operator algebras and quantum dynamics, explicit analytic sufficient conditions…

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 continue the study of real polynomials acting entrywise on matrices of fixed dimension to preserve positive semidefiniteness, together with the related analysis of order properties of Schur polynomials. Previous work has shown that,…

For positive integers $n,n'$, we give a combinatorial characterization for the set of quadratic inequalities on minors that are valid for all $n\times n'$ totally nonnegative matrices. This is obtained as a consequence from our earlier…

The dual of a matrix ordered space has a natural matrix ordering that makes the dual space matrix ordered as well. The purpose of these notes is to give a condition that describes when the linear map taking a basis of the n by n matrices to…

Given two Hermitian matrices, $A$ and $B$, we introduce a new type of spectral measure, a $\textit{tracial joint spectral measure}$ $\mu_{A, B}$ on the plane. Existence of this measure implies the following two results: 1) any…

In this work, we adapt Sinkhorn-Knopp theorem for rectangular positive maps $(T:M_k\rightarrow M_m)$. We extend their concepts of support and total support to these maps. We show that a positive map $T:M_k\rightarrow M_m$ is equivalent to a…

In this note, we prove that the index of primitivity of any primitive unital Schwarz map is at most $2(D-1)^2$, where $D$ is the dimension of the underlying matrix algebra. This inequality was first proved by Rahaman for Schwarz maps which…

In this paper, we aim to replace in the definitions of covariance and correlation the usual trace {\rm Tr} by a tracial positive map between unital $C^*$-algebras and to replace the functions $x^{\alpha}$ and $x^{1-\alpha}$ by functions $f$…

In this paper, we first present simple proofs of Choi's results [4], then we give a short alternative proof for Fiedler and Markham's inequality [6]. We also obtain additional matrix inequalities related to partial determinants.
