It is shown that a fixed point of a completely positive map on a semi-finite von Neumann algebra must commute with the operators determining the map (the Lueders phenomenon) if the element is finite or has finite square.

A linear map between real symmetric matrix spaces is positive if all positive semidefinite matrices are mapped to positive semidefinite ones. A real symmetric matrix is separable if it can be written as a summation of Kronecker products of…

We show that some abstract results on propagation of fixed points for completely positive maps on $C^*$-algebras provide a natural approach to unify recent Noether type theorems on the equivalence of symmetries with conservation laws for…

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra. Let $E$ and $F$ be Hilbert $A$-modules with $E$ being full. Suppose that $\theta : E\to F$ is a linear map preserving orthogonality, i.e., $<\theta(x), \theta(y) > = 0$ whenever $<x, y > = 0$. We show in this…

Admissible vectors lead to frames or coherent states under the action of a group by means of square integrable representations. This work shows that admissible vectors can be seen as weights with central support on the (left) group von…

We consider 2-positive almost order zero (disjointness preserving) maps on C*-algebras. Generalizing the argument of M. Choi for multiplicative domains, we give an internal characterization of almost order zero for 2-positive maps. It is…

If $\mu_1,\mu_2,\dots$ are positive measures on a measurable space $(X,\Sigma)$ and $v_1,v_2, \dots$ are elements of a Banach space ${\mathbb E}$ such that $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \|v_n\| \mu_n(X) < \infty$, then $\omega (S)= \sum_{n=1}^\infty…

We show that for every "locally finite" unit-preserving completely positive map P acting on a C*-algebra, there is a corresponding *-automorphism \alpha of another unital C*-algebra such that the two sequences P, P^2,P^3,... and \alpha,…

We interpret the probabilistic notion of unimodularity for measures on the space of rooted locally finite connected graphs in terms of the theory of measured equivalence relations. It turns out that the right framework for this consists in…

We prove that for a bijective, unital, linear map between absolute order unit spaces is an isometry if, and only if, it is absolute value preserving. We deduce that, on (unital) $JB$-algebras, such maps are precisely Jordan isomorphisms.…

The notions of joint and outer spectral radii are extended to the setting of Hilbert $C^*$-bimodules. A Rota-Strang type characterisation is proved for the joint spectral radius. In this general setting, an approximation result for the…

For a class of linear maps on a von Neumann factor, we associate two objects, bounded operators and trace class operators, both of which play the roles of Choi matrices. Each of them is positive if and only if the original map on the factor…

We extend Deuber's theorem on $(m,p,c)$-sets to hold over the multidimensional positive integer lattices. This leads to a multidimensional Rado theorem where we are guaranteed monochromatic multidimensional points in all finite colorings of…

We introduce completely semi-$\varphi$-maps on Hilbert $C^*$-modules as a generalization of $\varphi$-maps. This class of maps provides examples of CP-extendable maps which are not CP-H-extendable, in Skeide-Sumesh's sense. Using the…

Idempotent integration is an analogue of the Lebesgue integration where $\sigma$-additive measures are replaced by $\sigma$-maxitive measures. It has proved useful in many areas of mathematics such as fuzzy set theory, optimization,…

An $n\times n$ symmetric matrix $A$ is copositive if the quadratic form $x^TAx$ is nonnegative on the nonnegative orthant. The cone of copositive matrices strictly contains the cone of completely positive matrices, i.e., all matrices of the…

We study measurable spaces equipped with a $\sigma$-ideal of negligible sets. We find conditions under which they admit a localizable locally determined version -- a kind of fiber space that describes locally their directions -- defined by…

Density of stable maps is the common thread of this paper. We review Whitney's contribution to singularities of differentiable mappings and Thom-Mather theories on $C^{\infty}$ and $C^{0}$-stability. Infinitesimal and algebraic methods are…

Let $R=\mathcal{R}(d(t),h(t))$ be a Riordan array, where $d(t)=\sum_{n\ge 0}d_nt^n$ and $h(t)=\sum_{n\ge 0}h_nt^n$. We show that if the matrix \begin{equation*} \left[\begin{array}{ccccc} d_0 & h_0 & 0 & 0 &\cdots\\ d_1 & h_1 & h_0 & 0 &\\…

We provide a novel tool which may be used to construct new examples of positive maps in matrix algebras (or, equivalently, entanglement witnesses). It turns out that this can be used to prove positivity of several well known maps (such as…
