The open problem of determining the exact value of the $n$-th linear polarization constant $c_n$ of $\R^n$ has received considerable attention over the past few years. This paper makes a contribution to the subject by providing a new lower…
We prove that given any set of $n$ unit vectors $\{v_i\}_{i=1}^{n}\subset \mathbb R^n,$ the inequality \[ \sup\limits_{\Vert x \Vert_{\mathbb R^n} =1} \vert \langle x, v_1 \rangle \cdots \langle x, v_n\rangle\vert \ge n^{-n/2} \] holds for…

The polarization constant of a Banach space $X$ is defined as $$\mathbf c(X):= \limsup\limits_{k\rightarrow \infty} \mathbf c(k, X)^\frac{1}{k},$$ where $\mathbf c(k, X)$ stands for the best constant $C>0$ such that $ \Vert…
Let A be an n by n matrix with determinant 1. We show that for all n > 2 there exist dimensional strictly positive constants C_n such that the average over the orthogonal group of log rho(A X) d X > C_n log ||A||, where ||A|| denotes the…
We prove pfaffian and hafnian versions of Lieb's inequalities on determinants and permanents of positive semi-definite matrices. We use the hafnian inequality to improve the lower bound of R\'ev\'esz and Sarantopoulos on the norm of a…
The main result of this paper is that for any norm on a complex or real $n$-dimensional linear space, every extremal basis satisfies inverted triangle inequality with scaling factor $2^n-1$. Furthermore, the constant $2^n-1$ is tight. We…

A well-known fact in linear algebra is that $A^T A$ is always positive semi-definite for any real matrix $A$. We consider a generalization of this fact via the following decision problem. Given a symbolic product of length $k$, consisting…
