We give partial answers to the following question: if $F$ is an $m$ by $m$ matrix on $\mathbb{R}^n$ satisfying a second order linear elliptic equation, does $\det F$ satisfy the strong unique continuation property? We give counterexamples…

The main goal of this article is to study the existence of a unique positive definite common solution to a pair of matrix equations of the form \begin{eqnarray*} X^r=Q_1 + \displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{m} {A_i}^*F(X)A_i \mbox{ and } X^s=Q_2 +…

According to a celebrated result by L\"owner, a real-valued function $f$ is operator monotone if and only if its L\"owner matrix, which is the matrix of divided differences $L_f=(\frac{f(x_i)-f(x_j)}{x_i-x_j})_{i,j=1}^N$, is positive…

For any finite field ${\mathbb F}_q$ with $q$ elements, we study the set ${\mathcal F}_{(q,m)}$ of functions from ${\mathbb F}_q^m$ into ${\mathbb F}^q$. We introduce a transformation that allows us to determine a linear system of $q^{m+1}$…

For open sets $U$ in some space $X$, we are interested in positive solutions to semi-linear equations $ Lu=\varphi(\cdot,u)\mu$ on $U$. Here $L$ may be an elliptic or parabolic operator of second order (generator of a diffusion process) or…

We investigate the $L_p \mapsto L_q$ boundedness of the Fourier multipliers. We obtain sufficient conditions, namely, we derive Hormander and Lizorkin type theorems. We also obtain the necessary conditions. For $M$-generalized monotone…

For two $n \times n$ complex matrices $A$ and $B$, we define the $q$-deformed commutator as $[ A, B ]_q := A B - q BA$ for a real parameter $q$. In this paper, we investigate a generalization of the B\"{o}ttcher-Wenzel inequality which…

We find all polynomials f,g,h over a field K such that g and h are linear and f(g(x))=h(f(x)). We also solve the same problem for rational functions f,g,h, in case the field K is algebraically closed.

This paper describes the expected characteristic polynomial of the commutator of randomly rotated matrices, in the context of the finite free probability theory initiated by Marcus, Spielman, and Srivastava. The key technical features are…

A formula for the commutator of tensor product matrices is used to shows that, for qubits, compatibility of quantum multiparty observables almost never implies local compatibility at each site and to predict when this happens/does not…

In 1942 I. J. Schoenberg proved that a function is positive definite in the unit sphere if and only if this function is a positive linear combination of the Gegenbauer polynomials. In this paper we extend Schoenberg's theorem for…

This paper is about the general truncated matrix-valued moment problem. Let $\mathcal{H}_q$ denote the complex Hermitian $q\times q$-matrices, $q\in \mathbb{N}$. Suppose that $(\mathcal{X},\mathfrak{X})$ is a measurable space and…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be the bilinear Hardy-Littlewood maximal function and $\vec{b}=(b,b)$ be a collection of locally integrable functions. In this paper, the authors establish characterizations of the weighted {\rm BMO} space in terms of…

Let $A$ be an algebra and let $f$ be a nonconstant noncommutative polynomial. In the first part of the paper, we consider the relationship between $[A,A]$, the linear span of commutators in $A$, and span$f(A)$, the linear span of the image…

Consider in a real Hilbert space $H$ the differential equation (inclusion) $(E)$: $p(t)u^{\prime \prime}(t)+q(t)u^{\prime}(t)\in Au(t)+f(t)$ for a.a. $t>0$, with the condition $(B)$: $u(0)=x \in \overline{D(A)}$, where $A\colon D(A)\subset…

The existence of a smooth, nonnegative, compactly supported function with monotone (on the half-line) Fourier transform satisfying two-sided decay bounds is demonstrated.

We prove a structure theorem for multiplicative functions which states that an arbitrary bounded multiplicative function can be decomposed into two terms, one that is approximately periodic and another that has small Gowers uniformity norm…

In this paper, we further investigate the problem of commutativity up to a factor (or $\lambda$-commutativity) in the setting of bounded and unbounded linear operators in a complex Hilbert space. The results are based on a new approach to…

We show that commutators of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms may have arbitrarily large Hofer norm. The proposed technique is applicable to positive genus surfaces and their products. This gives partial answer to a question by McDuff and…

The purpose of this this paper is to generalize the functors arising from the theory of Witt vectors duto to Cartier. Given a polynomial $g(q)\in \mathbb Z[q]$, we construct a functor ${\overline {W}}^{g(q)}$ from the category of $\mathbb…
