The paper investigates free and projective ${\bf L}$-spaces, where ${\bf L}$ is a given normed space. These spaces form a far-reaching generalization of known $p$-multinormed spaces; in particular, if ${\bf L}=L_p(X)$, the ${\bf L}$-spaces…
This paper presents an overview of close parallels that exist between the theory of positive operator-valued measures (POVMs) associated with a separable Hilbert space and the theory of frames on that space, including its most important…
We initiate an investigation into how much the existing theory of (nonselfadjoint) operator algebras on a Hilbert space generalizes to algebras acting on L^p spaces. In particular we investigate the applicability of the theory of real…
We show that the set of projections in an operator system can be detected using only the abstract data of the operator system. Specifically, we show that if $p$ is a positive contraction in an operator system $V$ which satisfies certain…
We show that a partition of the unity (or POVM) on a Hilbert space that is almost orthogonal is close to an orthogonal POVM in the same von Neumann algebra. This generalizes to infinite dimension previous results in matrix algebras by…
In a recent paper it was shown that all the Hilbert space formulas for quantum probabilities can be realized as functions of geometric properties of the associated projective space, but those functions were expressed using the structures of…
A Hilbert space approach to the classical Fantappie transform, based on the concept of Gel'fand triples of locally convex spaces, leads to a novel proof of Martineau-Aizenberg duality theorem. A study of Fantappie transforms of positive…
We describe conditions that characterize amenability for groups in terms of positive definite functions valued in a von Neumann algebra.
The reflection positivity property has played a central role in both mathematics and physics, as well as providing a crucial link between the two subjects. In a previous paper we gave a new geometric approach to understanding reflection…
We here extend the well known Positive Real Lemma (also known as the Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov Lemma) to complex matrix-valued generalized positive rational function, when non-minimal realizations are considered. We then exploit this result…
Relativistic positioning systems are interesting {\em technical objects} for applications around the Earth and in the Solar system. But above all else, they are basic {\em scientific objects} allowing developing relativity from its own…
The main purpose of our paper is a new approach to design of algorithms of Kaczmarz type in the framework of operators in Hilbert space. Our applications include a diverse list of optimization problems, new Karhunen-Lo\`eve transforms, and…
We identify a positivity property for partition functions in quantum systems with a unitary symmetry group, and we call this "twist positivity." The existence of Feynman-Kac measures and the existence of zero-mass limits are both related to…
With view to applications, we establish a correspondence between two problems: (i) the problem of finding continuous positive definite extensions of functions $F$ which are defined on open bounded domains $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}$, on the…
Using Lusztig's total positivity in split real Lie groups V. Fock and A. Goncharov have introduced spaces of positive (framed) representations. For general semisimple Lie groups a generalization of Lusztig's total positivity was recently…
In this paper we will turn our attention to the problem of obtaining phase-space probability density functions. We will show that it is possible to obtain functions which assume only positive values over all its domain of definition.
Hyper-Positive Real, matrix-valued, rational functions are associated with absolute stability (the Lurie problem). Here, quantitative subsets of Hyper-positive functions, related through nested inclusions, are introduced. Structurally, this…
Let $(W,H,\mu)$ be an abstract Wiener space and $L$ be a probability density of class LlogL. Using the measure transportation of Monge-Kantorovitch, we prove that the kernel of the projection of L on the second Wiener chaos defines an…
This paper presents necessary and sufficient conditions for a positive bounded operator on a separable Hilbert space to be the sum of a finite or infinite collection of projections (not necessarily mutually orthogonal), with the sum…
In the present paper, we introduce and investigate a new class of positively $p$-nuclear operators that are positive analogues of right $p$-nuclear operators. One of our main results establishes an identification of the dual space of…
