In this paper we consider power means of positive Hilbert space operators both in the conventional and in the Kubo-Ando senses. We describe the corresponding isomorphisms (bijective transformations respecting those means as binary…

In this work we examine quantum states which have non-negative amplitudes (in a fixed basis) and the channels which preserve them. These states include the ground states of stoquastic Hamiltonians and they are of interest since they avoid…

Let H be a complex Hilbert space and denote by Bs(H) the set of all self-adjoint bounded linear operators on H. In this paper we describe the form of all bijective maps (no linearity or continuity is assumed) on Bs(H) which preserve the…

Given a unitary representation $U$ of an Abelian group $G$ and a subgroup $H$, we characterise the positive operator valued quotient group $G/H$ and covariant with respect to $U$.

The structure of cones of positive and k-positive maps acting on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space is investigated. Special emphasis is given to their duality relations to the sets of superpositive and k-superpositive maps. We characterize…

We demonstrate new abstract characterizations for unital and non-unital operator spaces. We characterize unital operator spaces in terms of the cone of accretive operators (operators whose real part is positive). Defining the gauge of an…

Continuing the study initiated in our earlier article [7], this paper aims to characterize various continuity properties of nonlinear composition operators acting on some sequence spaces, giving special attention to the space of sequences…

We use classical results from the theory of linear preserver problems to characterize operators that send the set of pure states with Schmidt rank no greater than k back into itself, extending known results characterizing operators that…

We study the connections between operator moment sequences ${\mathcal T}=\displaystyle(T_n)_{n\in\mathbb{Z}_+}$ of self-adjoint operators on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ and the local moment sequences $\langle{\mathcal T}x,x\rangle…

The class of stochastic maps, that is, linear, trace-preserving, positive maps between the self-adjoint trace class operators of complex separable Hilbert spaces plays an important role in the representation of reversible dynamics and…

We show that a positive linear map preserves local continuity (convergence) of the entropy if and only if it preserves finiteness of the entropy, i.e. transforms operators with finite entropy to operators with finite entropy. The last…

It is well known that positive Green's operators are not necessarily positivity preserving. In this paper we investigate the matter of just how far from being positivity preserving a positive Green's operator can be. We will also identify a…

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…

We consider a closed set S in R^n and a linear operator \Phi on the polynomial algebra R[X_1,...,X_n] that preserves nonnegative polynomials, in the following sense: if f\geq 0 on S, then \Phi(f)\geq 0 on S as well. We show that each such…

In this work we study positivity preservers $T:\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]\to\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ with constant coefficients and define their generators $A$ if they exist, i.e., $\exp(A) = T$. We use the theory of regular Fr\'echet Lie…

Let $A_{i}\ (i=1, 2, ..., k)$ be bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space. This paper aims to show characterizations of operator order $A_{k}\geq A_{k-1}\geq...\geq A_{2}\geq A_{1}>0$ in terms of operator inequalities. Afterwards, an…

Completely positive trace-preserving maps $S$, also known as quantum channels, arise in quantum physics as a description of how the density operator $\rho$ of a system changes in a given time interval, allowing not only for unitary…

This is a revised form of the previous paper in which we study cones of positive maps of B(H) into itself. We add the result that the dual cone of a symmetric mapping cone is itself a symmetric mapping cone. As applications we obtain…

Let $H_{n}^{+}(\mathbb{R})$ be the cone of all positive semidefinite $n\times n$ real matrices. We describe the form of all surjective maps on $H_{n}^{+}(\mathbb{R}) $, $n\geq 3$, that preserve the minus partial order in both directions.

We provide a complete picture of contractivity of trace preserving positive maps with respect to $p$-norms. We show that for $p>1$ contractivity holds in general if and only if the map is unital. When the domain is restricted to the…
