We prove the (generalized) principal pivot transform is matrix monotone, in the sense of the L\"owner ordering, under minimal hypotheses. This improves on the recent results of J. E. Pascoe and R. Tully-Doyle, Monotonicity of the principal…
A matrix is called a P-matrix if all its principal minors are positive. P-matrices have found important applications in functional analysis, mathematical programming, and dynamical systems theory. We introduce a new class of real matrices…

We present two different descriptions of positive partially transposed (PPT) states. One is based on the theory of positive maps while the second description provides a characterization of PPT states in terms of Hilbert space vectors. Our…
We prove that the principal pivot transform (also known as the partial inverse, sweep operator, or exchange operator in various contexts) maps matrices with positive imaginary part to matrices with positive imaginary part. We show that the…
In order to compute the Schmidt decomposition of $A\in M_k\otimes M_m$, we must consider an associated self-adjoint map. Here, we show that if $A$ is positive under partial transposition (PPT) or symmetric with positive coefficients (SPC)…
The theory of positive maps plays a central role in operator algebras and functional analysis, and has countless applications in quantum information science. The theory was originally developed for operators acting on complex Hilbert…
We show that if $A$ is an $n\times n$-matrix, then the diagonal entries of each power $A^{m}$ are uniquely determined by the principal minors of $A$, and can be written as universal (integral) polynomials in the latter. Furthermore, if the…
This paper discusses further properties of positive partial transpose matrices, with applications towards hyponormal, semi-hyponormal, and $(\alpha,\beta)$-normal matrices. The obtained results present extensions and improvements of many…
Accretive partial transpose (APT) matrices have been recently defined, as a natural extension of positive partial transpose (PPT) matrices. In this paper, we discuss further properties of APT matrices in a way that extends some of those…
This paper presents new properties of Primitive Pythagorean Triples (PPT) that have relevance in applications where events of different probability need to be generated and in cryptography.
In this short note, we prove a formula for the group inverse of a block matrix and consider the pseudo principal pivot transform expressed in terms of group inverses. Extensions of the usual principal pivot transform, where the usual…
We express the positive partial transpose (PPT) separability criterion for symmetric states of multi-qubit systems in terms of matrix inequalities based on the recently introduced tensor representation for spin states. We construct a matrix…
Convenient parameterizations of matrices in terms of vectors transform (certain classes of) matrix equations into covariant (hence rotation-invariant) vector equations. Certain recently introduced such parameterizations are tersely…
We generalize the nullity theorem of Gustafson [Linear Algebra Appl. (1984)] from matrix inversion to principal pivot transform. Several special cases of the obtained result are known in the literature, such as a result concerning local…
We characterize real and complex functions which, when applied entrywise to square matrices, yield a positive definite matrix if and only if the original matrix is positive definite. We refer to these transformations as sign preservers.…
Projection matrices are necessary for a large portion of rendering computer graphics. There are primarily two different types of projection matrices -- perspective and orthographic -- which are used frequently, and are traditionally treated…
We provide a generalization of the reduction and Robertson positive maps in matrix algebras. They give rise to a new class of optimal entanglement witnesses. Their structural physical approximation is analyzed. As a byproduct we provide a…
The main goal of the paper is to establish the existence of tensor product decompositions for those prime ideals P of the generic algebra A of quantum n by n matrices which are invariant under winding automorphisms of A. More specifically,…
This paper reviews some characterizations of positive matrices and discusses which lead to useful parametrizations. It is argued that one of them, which we dub the Schur-Constantinescu parametrization is particularly useful. Two new…
