We consider some multivariate rational functions which have (or are conjectured to have) only positive coefficients in their series expansion. We consider an operator that preserves positivity of series coefficients, and apply the inverse…

A matrix is called totally nonnegative (TN) if all its minors are nonnegative, and totally positive (TP) if all its minors are positive. Multiplying a vector by a TN matrix does not increase the number of sign variations in the vector. In a…

This paper grew out of the author's work on arXiv:2504.18460. Differential operators in the sense of Grothendieck acting between modules over a commutative ring can be interpreted as torsion elements in the bimodule of all operators with…

There is a cell decomposition of the nonnegative Grassmannian. For each cell, totally positive bases(TP-bases) is defined as the minimal set of Pl\"ucker variables such that all other nonzero Pl\"ucker variables in the cell can be expressed…

Using techniques from TRO equivalence of masa bimodules we prove various transference results: We show that when $\alpha$ is a group homomorphism which pushes forward the Haar measure of $G$ to a measure absolutely continuous with respect…

We formulate a relationship between finite-order rondle invariants with respect to triple-point modifications and the lower central series of subgroups of a pure twin group. Using our formulation, we construct infinitely many infinite…

A real sequence $(a_k)_{k=0}^\infty$ is called {\it totally positive} if all minors of the infinite Toeplitz matrix $ \left\| a_{j-i} \right\|_{i, j =0}^\infty$ are nonnegative (here $a_k=0$ for $k<0$). In this paper, which continues our…

Though algebraic geometry over $\mathbb C$ is often used to describe the closure of the tensors of a given size and complex rank, this variety includes tensors of both smaller and larger rank. Here we focus on the $n\times n\times n$…

We prove twisted homological stability with polynomial coefficients for automorphism groups of free nilpotent groups of any given class. These groups interpolate between two extremes for which homological stability was known before, the…

Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group with a Haar measure, and $Y$ be a measure space. Suppose that $H$ is a reproducing kernel Hilbert space of functions on $G\times Y$, such that $H$ is naturally embedded into $L^2(G\times Y)$ and is…

We show that positive elements with respect to the twisted convolutions, belonging to some ultra-test function space of certain order at origin, belong to the ultra-test function space of the same order everywhere. We apply the result to…

We consider eventually positive operator semigroups and study the question whether their eventual positivity is preserved by bounded perturbations of the generator or not. We demonstrate that eventual positivity is not stable with respect…

Decoupling multivariate polynomials is useful for obtaining an insight into the workings of a nonlinear mapping, performing parameter reduction, or approximating nonlinear functions. Several different tensor-based approaches have been…

We establish operator-valued versions of the earlier foundational factorization results for noncommutative polynomials due to Helton (Ann.~Math., 2002) and one of the authors (Linear Alg.~Appl., 2001). Specifically, we show that every…
