In this paper, we find an upper bound for the exponent of the Schur multiplier of a pair $(G,N)$ of finite $p$-groups, when $N$ admits a complement in $G$. As a consequence, we show that the exponent of the Schur multiplier of a pair…

We establish a class of Oppenheim--Schur-type inequalities for the convolutional Jury product of positive semidefinite matrices. These results extend to a causal convolutional setting the classical Schur and Oppenheim inequalities…

We formulate conjectures regarding the maximum value and maximizing matrices of the permanent and of diagonal products on the set of stochastic matrices with bounded rank. We formulate equivalent conjectures on upper bounds for these…

The exponential of an NxN matrix can always be expressed as a matrix polynomial of order N-1. In particular, a general group element for the fundamental representation of SU(N) can be expressed as a matrix polynomial of order N-1 in a…

This paper explores some connections between rank one convexity, multiplicative quasiconvexity and Schur convexity. Theorem 5.1 gives simple necessary and sufficient conditions for an isotropic objective function to be rank one convex on…

About last 70s, Haynsworth [6] used a result of the Schur complement to refine a determinant inequality for positive definite matrices. Haynsworth's result was improved by Hartfiel [5]. We extend their result to a larger class of matrices,…

Finite dimensional linear spaces (both complex and real) with indefinite scalar product [.,.] are considered. Upper and lower bounds are given for the size of an indecomposable matrix that is normal with respect to this scalar product in…

A quantitative definition of numerical stiffness for initial value problems is proposed. Exponential integrators can effectively integrate linearly stiff systems, but they become expensive when the linear coefficient is a matrix, especially…

In an Euclidean Jordan algebra V of rank n, an element x is said to be majorized by an element y, if the corresponding eigenvalue vector of x is majorized by the eigenvalue vector of y in R^n. In this article, we describe pointwise…

We will consider completely positive maps defined on tensor products of von Neumann algebras and taking values in the algebra of bounded operators on a Hilbert space and particularly certain convex subsets of the set of such maps. We show…

Let D be a masa in B(H) where H is a separable Hilbert space. We find real numbers \eta_0 < \eta_1 < \eta_2 < ... < \eta_6 so that for every bounded, normal D-bimodule map {\Phi} on B(H) either ||\Phi|| > \eta_6, or ||\Phi|| = \eta_k for…

The paper is devoted to multidimensional $(0,1)$-matrices extremal with respect to containing a polydiagonal (a fractional generalization of a diagonal). Every extremal matrix is a threshold matrix, i.e., an entry belongs to its support…

Let \Gamma be the convex set consisting of all marginal tracial states on the tensor product B \otimes B of the algebra B of nxn matrices over the complex numbers. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for such a state to be extremal…

In this article, we prove that the Schur Multiplier of a finite $p$-group of maximal class of order $p^n ~(4 \leq n \leq p+1)$ is elementary abelian. The case $n = p+1$ settles a question raised by Primo\v{z} Moravec in an earlier article.

Computing the permanent of a non-negative matrix is a computationally challenging, \#P-complete problem with wide-ranging applications. We introduce a novel permanental analogue of Schur's determinant formula, leveraging a newly defined…

We consider M-estimators and derive supremal-inequalities of exponential-or polynomial type according as a boundedness- or a moment-condition is fulfilled. This enables us to derive rates of r-complete convergence and also to show r-qick…

For a positive linear map F and a normal matrix N, we show that |F(N)| is bounded by some simple linear combinations in the unitary orbit of F(|N|). Several elegant sharp inequalities are derived, especially for the Schur product.

The set of mxn singular matrix pencils with normal rank at most r is an algebraic set with r+1 irreducible components. These components are the closure of the orbits (under strict equivalence) of r+1 matrix pencils which are in Kronecker…

While many bounds have been proved for partial trace inequalities over the last decades for a large variety of quantities, recent problems in quantum information theory demand sharper bounds. In this work, we study optimal bounds for…

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group and $N$ be a normal subgroup of $G$, with $|N|=p^n$ and $|G/N|=p^m$. A result of Ellis (1998) shows that the order of the Schur multiplier of such a pair $(G,N)$ of finite $p$-groups is bounded by $…
