In this paper we show that Korn's inequality \cite{ref:korn1906} holds for vector fields with a zero normal or tangential trace on a subset (of positive measure) of the boundary of Lipschitz domains. We further show that the validity of…

Let $\phi$ be analytic and univalent ({\it i.e.,} one-to-one) in $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}: |z|<1\}$ such that $\phi(\mathbb{D})$ has positive real part, is symmetric with respect to the real axis, starlike with respect to $\phi(0)=1,$…

Let $A$ be a positive operator on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ with $0<m\leq A\leq M$ and $X$ and $Y$ are two isometries on $\mathcal{H}$ such that $X^{*}Y=0$. For every 2-positive linear map $\Phi$, define…

We prove that for $\alpha \in (d-1,d]$, one has the trace inequality \begin{align*} \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} |I_\alpha F| \;d\nu \leq C |F|(\mathbb{R}^d)\|\nu\|_{\mathcal{M}^{d-\alpha}(\mathbb{R}^d)} \end{align*} for all solenoidal vector…

In what follows we improve an inequality related to matrix theory. T. Laffey proved (2013) a weaker form of this inequality [2].

We introduce the notion of one-sided mapping cones of positive linear maps between matrix algebras. These are convex cones of maps that are invariant under compositions by completely positive maps from either the left or right side. The…

We consider some $q$-series which depend on a pair of positive integers $(k,m)$. While positivity of these series holds for the first few values of $(k,m)$, the situation is quite unclear for other values of $(k,m)$. In addition, our series…

We square operator P\'{o}lya--Szeg\"{o} and Diaz--Metcalf type inequalities as follows: If operator inequalities $0<m_{1}^{2} \leq A\leq M_{1}^{2}$ and $0<m_{2}^{2}\leq B\leq M_{2}^{2}$ hold for some positive real numbers $m_{1}\leq M_{1}$…

In this short note we study nonexistence result of biharmonic maps from a complete Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature. Assume that $\phi:(M,g)\to (N, h)$ is a biharmonic map, where $(M, g)$…

For a rational matrix function $\Phi$ with poles outside the unit circle, we estimate the degree of the unique superoptimal approximation $\A\Phi$ by matrix functions analytic in the unit disk. We obtain sharp estimates in the case of…

In this paper, a generalized Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for positive sesquilinear maps with values in noncommutative Lp-spaces for p > 1 are obtained. Bound estimates for their real and imaginary parts are also provided, and, as an…

A generalization of Powers-St$\o$rmer's inequality for operator monotone functions on $[0, +\infty)$ and for positive linear functional on general $C^*$-algebras will be proved. It also will be shown that the generalized Powers-St$\o$rmer…

An order-preserving Freiman 2-isomorphism is a map $\phi:X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that $\phi(a) < \phi(b)$ if and only if $a < b$ and $\phi(a)+\phi(b) = \phi(c)+\phi(d)$ if and only if $a+b=c+d$ for any $a,b,c,d \in X$. We show that…

Some subadditivity results involving symmetric (unitarily invariant) norms are obtained. For instance, if $g(t)=\sum_{k=0}^m a_kt^k$ is a polynomial of degree $m$ with non-negative coefficients, then, for all positive operators $A,\,B$ and…

We present a formula for the trace of any symmetric power of a $n\times n$ matrix (with coefficients in a field) in terms of the ordinary powers of the matrix, an arbitrarily chosen linear function which vanishes on the identity matrix, and…

We consider convex trace functions $\Phi_{p,q,s} = Trace[ (A^{q/2}B^p A^{q/2})^s]$ where $A$ and $B$ are positive $n\times n$ matrices and ask when these functions are convex or concave. We also consider operator convexity/concavity of…

It is proven that a certain class of positive maps in the matrix algebra $M_n$ consists of optimal maps, i.e. maps from which one cannot subtract any completely positive map without loosing positivity. This class provides a generalization…

It is shown that the polynomial \[p(t) = \text{Tr}[(A+tB)^m]\] has positive coefficients when $m = 6$ and $A$ and $B$ are any two 3-by-3 complex Hermitian positive definite matrices. This case is the first that is not covered by prior,…

We give several versions of local and global inverse mapping theorem for tame non necessarily smooth, mappings. Here tame mapping means a mapping which is subanalytic or, more generally, definable in some o-minimal structure. Our sufficient…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space which is locally absolutely retract and let $\phi: C(X)\to C(Y, M_n)$ be a unital homomorphism, where $Y$ is a compact metric space with ${\rm dim}Y\le 2.$ It is proved that there exists a sequence of $n$…
