We define a new class of sets -- stable sets -- of primes in number fields. For example, Chebotarev sets $P_{M/K}(\sigma)$, with $M/K$ Galois and $\sigma \in \Gal(M/K)$, are very often stable. These sets have positive (but arbitrary small)…

K-theoretic Hall algebras (KHAs) of quivers with potential $(Q,W)$ are a generalization of preprojective KHAs of quivers, which are conjecturally positive parts of the Okounkov-Smironov quantum affine algebras. In particular, preprojective…

We consider a matrix semigroup $T: [0,\infty) \to \mathbb{R}^{d \times d}$ without assuming any measurability properties and show that, if $T$ is bounded close to $0$ and $T(t) \ge 0$ entrywise for all $t$, then $T$ is continuous. This…

Let $\mathcal H$ be a complex Hilbert space and $\mathcal F_s (\mathcal H)$ the real vector space of all self-adjoint finite rank bounded operators on $\mathcal H$. We generalize the famous Wigner's theorem by characterizing linear maps on…

We study the problem of characterizing linear preserver subgroups of algebraic varieties, with a particular emphasis on secant varieties and other varieties of tensors. We introduce a number of techniques built on different geometric…

Let $A$ be an algebra over a field $K$ of characteristic zero, let $\d_1, >..., \d_s\in \Der_K(A)$ be {\em commuting locally nilpotent} $K$-derivations such that $\d_i(x_j)=\d_{ij}$, the Kronecker delta, for some elements $x_1,..., x_s\in…

Given any separable complex Hilbert space, any trace-class operator $B$ which does not have purely imaginary trace, and any generator $L$ of a norm-continuous one-parameter semigroup of completely positive maps we prove that there exists a…

The problem of characterizing GKLS-generators and CP-maps with an invariant appeared in different guises in the literature. We prove two unifying results which hold even for weakly closed *-algebras: First, we show how to construct a normal…

Given a pair of finite posets $A \subseteq P$, the function counting integer-valued order preserving extensions of an order preserving map $\lambda : A\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}$ from $A$ to $P$ is given by a piecewise polynomial in $\lambda$.…

Completely positive and trace preserving (CPT) maps are important for Quantum Information Theory, because they describe a broad class of of transformations of quantum states. There are also two other related classes of maps, the unital…

This paper studies the K-theory of categories of partially cancellative monoid sets, which is better behaved than that of all finitely generated monoid sets. A number of foundational results are proved, making use of the formalism of…

Let $A$ be a not necessarily commutative monoid with zero such that projective $A$-acts are free. This paper shows that the algebraic K-groups of $A$ can be defined using the +-construction and the Q-construction. It is shown that these two…

Let $X$ be an $n$-dimensional variety over a field $k$ of characteristic zero, regular in codimension 1 with singular locus $Z$. In this paper we study the negative $K$-theory of $X$, showing that when $Z$ is sufficiently nice, $K_{1-n}(X)$…

We describe a procedure to compute the rational nonstable K-groups of A$\mathbb{T}$-algebras. As an application, we show that an A$\mathbb{T}$-algebra is K-stable if and only if it has slow dimension growth.

We prove the well-posedness of non-autonomous linear evolution equations for generators $A(t): D(A(t)) \subset X \to X$ whose pairwise commutators are complex scalars and, in addition, we establish an explicit representation formula for the…

We study finitely generated projective modules over noncommutative tori. We prove that for every module $E$ with constant curvature connection the corresponding element $[E]$ of the K-group is a generalized quadratic exponent and,…

Let $X$ be an arbitrary poset and $K$ an arbitrary field. We describe linear unital invertibility preservers of the finitary incidence algebra $FI(X,K)$ in terms of certain maps of the power set algebra $\mathcal{P}(X)$ and linear maps…

We develop a theory of partially defined complete positivity preservers, extending Schoenberg's classical characterization to functions defined only on discrete subsets or constrained domains. We frame the extension problem through the…

We study the $K$-theory and Swan theory of the group ring $R[G]$, when $G$ is a finite group and $R$ is any ring or ring spectrum. In this setting, the well-known assembly map for $K(R[G])$ has a companion called the coassembly map. We…

A linear map between matrix spaces is positive if it maps positive semidefinite matrices to positive semidefinite ones, and is called completely positive if all its ampliations are positive. In this article quantitative bounds on the…
