A matrix is totally positive if all of its minors are positive. This notion of positivity coincides with the type A version of Lusztig's more general total positivity in reductive real-split algebraic groups. Since skew-symmetric matrices…
Totally positive matrices are related with the shape preserving representations of a space of functions. The normalized B-basis of the space has optimal shape preserving properties. B-splines and rational Bernstein bases are examples of…
We consider the class of positive bounded and semi-continuous functions defined on the two dimensional torus If f belongs to this class, then f will be considered as the symbol of a Toeplitz operator truncated on a triangle parametrised by…
Theta series for indefinite quadratic lattices were introduced by Zwegers, for signature (m-1,1), Alexandrov, Banerjee, Manschot and Pioline, for signature (m-2,2), and Nazaroglu, for signature (m-q,q). These series are modular modular…
We prove the consistency of the theory ZFC + there is a strongly compact cardinal from the existence of a cardinal preserving embedding from the universe into an inner model. The proof almost shows that under SCH, every cardinal preserving…
We characterize all linear operators which preserve spaces of entire functions whose zeros lie in a closed strip. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the related problem with real entire functions, and some classical…
Let $\mathcal{T}_{+}(E)$ be the tensor algebra of a $W^{*}$-correspondence $E$ over a $W^{*}$-algebra $M$. In earlier work, we showed that the completely contractive representations of $\mathcal{T}_{+}(E)$, whose restrictions to $M$ are…
We prove the converse to a result of Karlin [Trans. AMS 1964], and also strengthen his result and two results of Schoenberg [Ann. of Math. 1955]. One of the latter results concerns zeros of Laplace transforms of multiply positive functions.…
A new pair of asymptotic invariants for finitely presented groups, called intrinsic and extrinsic tame filling functions, are introduced. These filling functions are quasi-isometry invariants that strengthen the notions of intrinsic and…
A quaternionic matrix-valued regular function is a map $F: \Omega \rightarrow M_n(\mathbb{H})$ whose entries are (left) regular functions of a quaternion variable, where $\Omega$ is a domain in $\mathbb{H}$. Our aim is to bring out some…
This work investigates preserving and reversing unimodality and convexity properties for sequences under transformations defined by sign-regular kernels. It is shown that these transformations only preserve these properties if the kernels…
Norm estimates for strongly continuous semigroups have been successfully studied in numerous settings, but at the moment there are no corresponding studies in the case of solution operators of singular integral equations. Such equations…
The density matrix is a widely used tool in quantum mechanics. In order to determine its evolution with respect to time, the Liouville-von Neumann equation must be solved. However, analytic solutions of this differential equation exist only…
In 1952 Lee and Yang proposed the program of analyzing phase transitions in terms of zeros of partition functions. Linear operators preserving non-vanishing properties are essential in this program and various contexts in complex analysis,…
A class of linear positive, trace preserving maps in $M_n$ is given in terms of affine maps in $\bBR^{n^2-1}$ which map the closed unit ball into itself.
For any closed $K\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$, in [P.\ J.\ di\,Dio, K.\ Schm\"udgen: $K$-Positivity Preserver and their Generators, SIAM J.\ Appl.\ Algebra Geom.\ 9 (2025), 794--824] all $K$-positivity preserver have been characterized, i.e., all…
We prove the (generalized) principal pivot transform is matrix monotone, in the sense of the L\"owner ordering, under minimal hypotheses. This improves on the recent results of J. E. Pascoe and R. Tully-Doyle, Monotonicity of the principal…
This article studies some new insertion algorithms that associate pairs of shifted tableaux to finite integer sequences in which certain terms may be primed. When primes are ignored in the input word these algorithms reduce to known…
Hyper-Positive Real, matrix-valued, rational functions are associated with absolute stability (the Lurie problem). Here, quantitative subsets of Hyper-positive functions, related through nested inclusions, are introduced. Structurally, this…
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 $\lambda$.…
