We give two new global and algorithmic constructions of the reproducing kernel Hilbert space associated to a positive definite kernel. We further present ageneral positive definite kernel setting using bilinear forms, and we provide new…

Let W be a Weyl group. We can define the notion of positivity of a W-module in terms of the corresponding module over the asymptotic Iwahori-Hecke algebra. We state a conjecture which says that certain explicit W-modules are positive and we…

The paper introduces a new characterisation of strictly positive definiteness for kernels on the 2-sphere without assuming the kernel to be radially (isotropic) or axially symmetric. The results use the series expansion of the kernel in…

We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the strict positive definiteness of a real, continuous, isotropic and positive definite kernel on a two-point compact homogeneous space. The characterization adds to others previously…

The classical Mercer's theorem claims that a continuous positive definite kernel $K({\mathbf x}, {\mathbf y})$ on a compact set can be represented as $\sum_{i=1}^\infty \lambda_i\phi_i({\mathbf x})\phi_i({\mathbf y})$ where…

Let $A=[a_{n,k}]_{n,k\ge 0}$ be an infinite lower triangular matrix defined by the recurrence $$a_{0,0}=1,\quad a_{n+1,k}=r_{k}a_{n,k-1}+s_{k}a_{n,k}+t_{k+1}a_{n,k+1},$$ where $a_{n,k}=0$ unless $n\ge k\ge 0$ and $r_k,s_k,t_k$ are all…

We introduce and study a class $\mathcal{M}$ of generalized positive definite kernels of the form $K\colon X\times X\to L(\mathfrak{A},L(H))$, where $\mathfrak{A}$ is a unital $C^{*}$-algebra and $H$ a Hilbert space. These kernels encode…

Let $k[X] = k[x_{i,j}: i = 1,..., m; j = 1,..., n]$ be the polynomial ring in $m n$ variables $x_{i,j}$ over a field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic. Denote by $I_2(X)$ the ideal generated by the $2 \times 2$ minors of the generic $m \times…

Models that provide experimentally testable violations of ordinary Quantum Mechanics have been recently proposed. These models are based on non-unitary time evolutions of density matrices that are generated by linear positive maps. We…

We study positive definiteness of kernels $K(x,y)$ on two-point homogeneous spaces. As opposed to the classical case, which has been developed and studied in the existing literature, we allow the kernel to have an (integrable) singularity…

Kolmogorov decomposition for a given completely positive definite kernel is a generalization of Paschke's GNS construction for the completely positive map. Using Kolmogorov decomposition, to every quantum dynamical semigroup (QDS) for…

As well as arising naturally in the study of non-intersecting random paths, random spanning trees, and eigenvalues of random matrices, determinantal point processes (sometimes also called fermionic point processes) are relatively easy to…

We show how to build a kernel \[ K_X(x,y)=\sum_{m=0}^Xh(\lambda_m/{\lambda_X})\varphi_m(x)\overline{\varphi_m(y)} \] on a compact Riemannian manifold $M$, which is positive up to a negligible error and such that $K_X(x,x)\approx X$. Here…

We discuss a (i) quantized version of the Jordan decomposition theorem for a complex Borel measure on a compact Hausdorff space, namely, the more general problem of decomposing a general noncommutative kernel (a quantization of the standard…

The Gamma kernel is a projection kernel of the form (A(x)B(y)-B(x)A(y))/(x-y), where A and B are certain functions on the one-dimensional lattice expressed through Euler's Gamma function. The Gamma kernel depends on two continuous…

We show that, for positive definite kernels, if specific forms of regularity (continuity, Sn-differentiability or holomorphy) hold locally on the diagonal, then they must hold globally on the whole domain of positive-definiteness. This…

We present new classes of positive definite kernels on non-standard spaces that are integrally strictly positive definite or characteristic. In particular, we discuss radial kernels on separable Hilbert spaces, and introduce broad classes…

In this paper, we give a new approach to the theory of strictly positive kernels. Our method is based on the structure of Fock spaces. As its applications, various examples of strictly positive kernels are given. Moreover, we give a new…

Convex sets of completely positive maps and positive semidefinite kernels are considered in the most general context of modules over $C^*$-algebras and a complete charaterization of their extreme points is obtained. As a byproduct, we…

This work explores new classes of nonstationary stochastic sequences associated with polynomial hypergroups. Their covariance structures are analyzed through positive definite kernels and corresponding Hilbert spaces. Novel consistent…
