We consider a symmetric matrix, the entries of which depend linearly on some parameters. The domains of the parameters are compact real intervals. We investigate the problem of checking whether for each (or some) setting of the parameters,…

We provide a countable set of conditions based on elementary symmetric polynomials that are necessary and sufficient for a trace class integral operator to be positive semidefinite, which is an important cornerstone for quantum theory in…

We give the following characterization of rectifiable metric spaces. A metric space with positive lower Hausdorff density is rectifiable if and only if, for any subset $F$ and $f:F\to Y$, a Lipschitz map into a metric space with positive…

In this paper, we generalize some matrix inequalities involving matrix power and Karcher means of positive definite matrices. Among other inequalities, it is shown that if ${\mathbb A}=(A_{1},...,A_{n})$ is a $n$-tuple of positive definite…

Two scaling functions $\varphi_A$ and $\varphi_B$ for Parseval frame wavelets are algebraically isomorphic, $\varphi_A \simeq \varphi_B$, if they have matching solutions to their (reduced) isomorphic systems of equations. Let $A$ and $B$ be…

We provide a partial classification of positive linear maps in matrix algebras which is based on a family of spectral conditions. This construction generalizes celebrated Choi example of a map which is positive but not completely positive.…

We prove some refinements of a reverse AM-GM operator inequality due to M. Lin [Studia Math. 2013;215:187-194]. In particular, we show the operator inequality \begin{eqnarray*} \Phi^p\left(A\nabla_\nu B+2rMm(A^{-1}\nabla B^{-1}-A^{-1}\sharp…

Let f be a function defined on positive numbers. The subject is the trace inequality $Tr f(A) + Tr f(P_2AP_2) \le Tr f(P_{12}AP_{12}) + \Tr f(P_{23}AP_{23})$, where $A$ is a positive operator, $P_1,P_2,P_3$ are orthogonal projections such…

We introduce a property of a matrix-valued linear map $\Phi$ that we call its "non-m-positive dimension" (or "non-mP dimension" for short), which measures how large a subspace can be if every quantum state supported on the subspace is…

Given two Hermitian matrices, $A$ and $B$, we introduce a new type of spectral measure, a $\textit{tracial joint spectral measure}$ $\mu_{A, B}$ on the plane. Existence of this measure implies the following two results: 1) any…

Spectral characterization of graphs is an important topic in spectral graph theory, which has received a lot of attention from researchers in recent years. It is generally very hard to show a given graph to be determined by its spectrum.…

The (chordal) Loewner differential equation encodes certain curves in the half-plane (aka traces) by continuous real-valued driving functions. Not all curves are traces; the latter can be defined via a geometric condition called the local…

Given an n-tuple {b_1, ..., b_n} of self-adjoint operators in a finite von Neumann algebra M and a faithful, normal tracial state tau on M, we define a map Psi from M to R^{n+1} by Psi(a) = (tau(a), tau(b_1a), ..., tau(b_na)). The image of…

Let $\psi$ and $F$ be positive definite forms with integral coefficients of equal degree. Using the circle method, we establish an asymptotic formula for the number of identical representations of $\psi$ by $F$, provided $\psi$ is…

Let $A$ be a simple separable exact $C^*$-algebra that has traces. We show the following existed regularity properties are equivalent: \quad(1) $l^\infty(A)/J_A$ has real rank zero, where $J_A$ is the trace kernel ideal. \quad(2) $A$ is…

Let G be a locally compact group and let $\phi$ be a positive definite function on G with $\phi(e)=1$. This function defines a multiplication operator $M_\phi$ on the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of $G$. The aim of this paper is to classify the…

Some real functions f induce mean of positive numbers and the matrix monotonicity gives a possibility for means of positive definite matrices. Moreover, such a function f can define linear mapping beta on matrices (which is basic in the…

A linear map between matrix spaces is positive if it maps positive semidefinite matrices to positive semidefinite ones, and is called completely positive if all its ampliations are positive. In this article quantitative bounds on the…

This paper investigates spectral properties of certain classes of positive operators originated from different matrices appeared in linear complementarity problem. These positive operators play a crucial role in various areas of mathematics…

We characterize the completely positive trace-preserving maps on qutrits (qutrit channels) according to their covariance and symmetry properties. Both discrete and continuous groups are considered. It is shown how each symmetry group…
