We establish an unbounded version of Stinespring's Theorem and a lifting result for Stinespring representations of completely positive modular maps defined on the space of all compact operators. We apply these results to study positivity…
Let $X$ be a real normed vector space with a cone $K\subseteq X$ satisfying either (i) $K$ is closed with non-empty interior or (ii) $K$ has non-zero extremals or (iii) $K$ is closed and $X$ is a Banach space. In this short note, we provide…
We first prove two new spectral properties for symmetric nonnegative tensors. We prove a maximum property for the largest H-eigenvalue of a symmetric nonnegative tensor, and establish some bounds for this eigenvalue via row sums of that…
We study second-order elliptic partial differential operators acting on sections of vector bundles over a compact manifold with boundary with a non-scalar positive definite leading symbol. Such operators, called non-Laplace type operators,…
We establish a factorisation theorem for invertible, cross-symmetric, totally nonnegative matrices, and illustrate the theory by verifying that certain cases of Holte's Amazing Matrix are totally nonnegative.
A unital $C^*$-algebra is called $N$-subhomogeneous if its irreducible representations are finite dimensional with dimension at most $N$. We extend this notion to operator systems, replacing irreducible representations by boundary…
It is known that for every Banach space X and every proper WOT-closed subalgebra A of L(X), if A contains a compact operator then it is not transitive. That is, there exist non-zero x in X and f in X* such that f(Tx)=0 for all T in A. In…
In this paper, we consider all possible variants of Choi matrices of linear maps, and show that they are determined by non-degenerate bilinear forms on the domain space. We will do this in the setting of finite dimensional vector spaces. In…
A matrix is $k$-nonnegative if all its minors of size $k$ or less are nonnegative. We give a parametrized set of generators and relations for the semigroup of $k$-nonnegative $n\times n$ invertible matrices in two special cases: when $k =…
Boundedness and compactness properties of multiplication operators on quantum (non-commutative) function spaces are investigated. For endomorphic multiplication operators these properties can be characterized in the setting of quantum…
In this paper we consider two versions of the Collatz-Wielandt quotient for a pair of nonnegative operators A,B that map a given pointed generating cone in the first space into a given pointed generating cone in the second space. If the two…
This paper provides a method to study the non-negativity of certain linear operators, from other operators with similar spectral properties. If these new operators are formally self-adjoint and non-negative, we can study the complex powers…
In this paper we describe bistochastic Kadison-Schawrz operators acting on $M_2(\mathbb{C})$. Such a description allows us to find positive, but not Kadison-Schwarz operators. Moreover, by means of that characterization we construct…
We show that the semigroup associated to a second-order elliptic system is positive if and only if the differential equations are essentially decoupled and the coefficients are real-valued. This means the system can be replaced by an…
We provide a combinatorial interpretation of Lah numbers by means of planar networks. Henceforth, as a conesquence of Lindstr\"om's lemma, we conclude that the related Lah matrix possesses a remarkable property of total non-negativity.
In the paper, we consider integral operators with non-negative kernels satisfying conditions, which are less restrictive than conditions studied earlier. We establish criteria for the boundedness of these operators in Lebesgue spaces.
By a result of Helton and McCullough, open bounded convex free semialgebraic sets are exactly open (matricial) solution sets D_L of a linear matrix inequality (LMI) L(X)>0. This paper gives a precise algebraic certificate for a polynomial…
The purpose of the paper is to establish weighted maximal $L_p$-inequalities in the context of operator-valued martingales on semifinite von Neumann algebras. The main emphasis is put on the optimal dependence of the $L_p$ constants on the…
This paper is devoted to the study of various maximal ergodic theorems in noncommutative $L_p$-spaces. In particular, we prove the noncommutative analogue of the classical Dunford-Schwartz maximal ergodic inequality for positive…
We study left symmetric and right symmetric elements in the space $\ell_{\infty}(K, \mathbb{X}) $ of bounded functions from a non-empty set $K$ to a Banach space $\mathbb{X}.$ We prove that a non-zero element $ f \in\ell_{\infty}(K,…
