Abstract

We find equivalent hypergeometric- and difference-equation-based formulas, Q(k,α)=G1k(α)G2k(α)Q(k,\alpha)= G_1^k(\alpha) G_2^k(\alpha), for k=1,0,1,,9k = -1, 0, 1,\ldots,9, for that (rational-valued) portion of the total separability probability for generalized two-qubit states endowed with random induced measure, for which the determinantal inequality ρPT>ρ|\rho^{PT}| >|\rho| holds. Here ρ\rho denotes a 4×44 \times 4 density matrix and ρPT\rho^{PT}, its partial transpose, while α\alpha is a Dyson-index-like parameter with α=1\alpha = 1 for the standard (15-dimensional) convex set of two-qubit states. The dimension of the space in which these density matrices is embedded is 4×(4+k)4 \times (4 +k). For the symmetric case of k=0k=0, we obtain the previously reported Hilbert-Schmidt formulas, with (the two-re[al]bit case) Q(0,12)=29128Q(0,\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{29}{128}, (the standard two-qubit case) Q(0,1)=433Q(0,1)=\frac{4}{33}, and (the two-quater[nionic]bit case) Q(0,2)=13323Q(0,2)= \frac{13}{323}. The factors G2k(α)G_2^k(\alpha) can be written as the sum of weighted hypergeometric functions pFp1_{p}F_{p-1}, p7p \geq 7, all with argument 2764=(34)3\frac{27}{64} =(\frac{3}{4})^3. We find formulas for the upper and lower parameter sets of these functions and, then, equivalently express G2k(α)G_2^k(\alpha) in terms of first-order difference equations. The factors G1k(α)G_1^k(\alpha) are equal to (2764)α1(\frac{27}{64})^{\alpha-1} times ratios of products of six Pochhammer symbols involving the indicated parameters. Some remarkable α\alpha- and kk-specific invariant asymptotic properties (again, involving 2764\frac{27}{64} and related quantities) of separability probability formulas emerge.
