We consider the following question: Which real sequences (a(n)) that satisfy a linear recurrence with constant coefficients are positive for sufficiently large n? We show that the answer is negative for both (a(n)) and (-a(n)), if the…
We show that under reasonable conditions, a random $n\times (2+\epsilon) n$ integer matrix is surjective on $\mathbb{Z}^{n}$ with probability $1-O(e^{-cn})$. We also conjecture that this should hold for $n\times (1+\epsilon)n$, and provide…
Recent years have seen a surprising connection between the physics of scattering amplitudes and a class of mathematical objects--the positive Grassmannian, positive loop Grassmannians, tree and loop Amplituhedra--which have been loosely…
We show that Connes' embedding conjecture on von Neumann algebras is equivalent to the existence of certain algebraic certificates for a polynomial in noncommuting variables to satisfy the following nonnegativity condition: The trace is…
A real symmetric matrix $A$ is said to be completely positive if it can be written as $BB^t$ for some (not necessarily square) nonnegative matrix $B$. A simple graph $G$ is called a completely positive graph if every doubly nonnegative…
The main result of the note describes certain optimal-score partitions, which can be interpreted as optimal resource allocations. This result is based on the fact that any nonnegative square matrix whose column sums are the same as the…
For polyhedral convex cones in ${\mathbb R}^d$, we give a proof for the conic kinematic formula for conic curvature measures, which avoids the use of characterization theorems. For the random cones defined as typical cones of an isotropic…
We consider cones in a Hilbert space associated to two von Neumann algebras and determine when one algebra is included in the other. If a cone is assocated to a von Neumann algebra, the Jordan structure is naturally recovered from it and we…
Let $H_{n}^{+}(\mathbb{R})$ be the cone of all positive semidefinite $n\times n$ real matrices. We describe the form of all surjective maps on $H_{n}^{+}(\mathbb{R}) $, $n\geq 3$, that preserve the minus partial order in both directions.
We present a simple proof to a fact recently established in [5]: let $\xi$ be a symmetric random variable that has variance $1$, let $\Gamma=(\xi_{ij})$ be an $N \times n$ random matrix whose entries are independent copies of $\xi$, and set…
A multidimensional nonnegative matrix is called polystochastic if the sum of its entries at each line is equal to $1$. The set of all polystochastic matrices of order $n$ and dimension $d$ is a convex polytope $\Omega_n^d$. In the present…
A real square matrix is algebraically positive if there exists a real polynomial $f$ such that $f(A)$ is a positive matrix. In this paper, we give a sufficient condition for a sign pattern matrix to allow algebraic positivity, and give some…
Goulden-Rattan polynomials give the exact value of the subdominant part of the normalized characters of the symmetric groups in terms of certain quantities ($C_i$) which describe the macroscopic shape of the Young diagram. The…
All correlation measures, classical and quantum, must be monotonic under local operations. In this paper, we characterize monotonic formulas that are linear combinations of the von Neumann entropies associated with the quantum state of a…
A matrix is homogeneous if all of its entries are equal. Let $P$ be a $2\times 2$ zero-one matrix that is not homogeneous. We prove that if an $n\times n$ zero-one matrix $A$ does not contain $P$ as a submatrix, then $A$ has an $cn\times…
Nuclear $C^*$-algebras having a system of completely positive approximations formed with convex combinations of a uniformly bounded number of order zero summands are shown to be approximately finite dimensional.
Positive curvature and bosons Compact positive curvature Riemannian manifolds M with symmetry group G allow Conner-Kobayashi reductions M to N, where N is the fixed point set of the symmetry G. The set N is a union of smaller-dimensional…
In this paper, motivated by the work of Edelman and Strang, we show that for fixed integers $d\geq 2$ and $n\geq d+1$ the configuration space of all facet volume vectors of all $d$-polytopes in $\mathbb R^{d}$ with $n$ facets is a full…
In this paper, we consider radial symmetry property of positive solutions of an integral equation arising from some higher order semi-linear elliptic equations on the whole space $\mathbf{R}^n$. We do not use the usual way to get symmetric…
In this paper, we showed that the adjoint polynomial of a polyhedral cone equals the multidegree polynomial of the toric ideal with multigrading, both given by the vertex rays. This fact implies a conjecture of Aluffi, to the effect that…
