Assuming a unitarily invariant norm $|||\cdot|||$ is given on a two-sided ideal of bounded linear operators acting on a separable Hilbert space, it induces some unitarily invariant norms $|||\cdot|||$ on matrix algebras $\mathcal{M}_n$ for…
A linear mapping $\phi$ on an algebra $\mathcal{A}$ is called a centralizable mapping at $G\in\mathcal{A}$ if $\phi(AB)=\phi(A)B=A\phi(B)$ for each $A$ and $B$ in $\mathcal{A}$ with $AB=G$, and $\phi$ is called a derivable mapping at…
For a finite and positive measure space $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$ and any weakly compact convex subset of $L\sp\infty(\Omega,\Sigma,mu)$, a fixed point theorem for a class of nonexpansive self-mappings is proved. An analogous result is obtained…
We give an overview of the question: which positive elements in an operator algebra can be written as a linear combination of projections with positive coefficients. A special case of independent interest is the question of which positive…
We introduce a large scale analogue of the classical fixed-point property for continuous maps, which shall apply to coarse maps. We also develop a coarse version of degree for coarse maps on Euclidean spaces. Then, applying a coarse…
In this article we study convexity properties of distance functions in infinite dimensional Finsler unitary groups, such as the full unitary group, the unitary Schatten perturbations of the identity and unitary groups of finite von Neumann…
Massive vector fields can be described in a gauge invariant way with the introduction of compensating fields. In the unitary gauge one recovers the original formulation. Although this gauging mechanism can be extended to noncommutative…
In this paper, we study the existence of fixed points for mappings defined on complete, (sequentially compact) cone metric spaces, satisfying a general contractive inequality depending of two additional mappings.
A parametric version of Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem, which is proven using the fixed-point index, states that for every continuous mapping $f : (X \times Y) \to Y$, where $X$ is nonempty, compact, and connected subset of a Hausdorff…
The concept of the {\em half density matrix} is proposed. It unifies the quantum states which are described by density matrices and physical processes which are described by completely positive maps. With the help of the half-density-matrix…
In this paper, we study the structure of the fixed point sets of noncommutative self maps of the free ball. We show that for such a map that fixes the origin the fixed point set on every level is the intersection of the ball with a linear…
We study fixed points of iterates of dynamically affine maps (a generalisation of Latt\`es maps) over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristic $p$. We present and study certain hypotheses that imply a dichotomy for the…
Consider the following property of a topological group G: every continuous affine G-action on a Hilbert space with a bounded orbit has a fixed point. We prove that this property characterizes amenability for locally compact sigma-compact…
For an infinite Toeplitz matrix $T$ with nonnegative real entries we find the conditions, under which the equation $\boldsymbol{x}=T\boldsymbol{x}$, where $\boldsymbol{x}$ is an infinite vector-column, has a nontrivial bounded positive…
We initiate a study of linear maps on $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ that have the property that they factor through a tracial von Neumann algebra $(\mathcal{A,\tau})$ via operators $Z\in M_n(\mathcal{A})$ whose entries consist of positive elements from…
In this paper we consider a one quartic operator on the $\mathbb{R}^2$ with positive coefficients. Positive fixed points for a quartic operator, were investigated. Theorems on number of positive fixed points of the quartic operator, are…
We prove that the fixed point iteration of arbitrary positive concave mappings with nonempty fixed point set converges geometrically for any starting point. We also show that positivity is crucial for this result to hold, and the concept of…
We show that a von Neumann algebra is finite if and only if its Grassmannians are small in a certain sense related to the atlas of affine coordinates.
It is proved that flatness of an analytic mapping germ from a complete intersection is determined by its sufficiently high jet. As a consequence, one obtains finite determinacy of complete intersections. It is also shown that flatness and…
It is shown that max-preserving maps (or join-morphisms) on the positive orthant in Euclidean $n$-space endowed with the component-wise partial order give rise to a semiring. This semiring admits a closure operation for maps that generate…
