Abstract

Given a PPT state $A=\sum_{i=1}^nA_i\otimes B_i \in M_k\otimes M_k$ and a vector $v\in\Im(A)\subset\mathbb{C}^k\otimes\mathbb{C}^k$ with tensor rank $k$, we provide an algorithm that checks whether the positive map $G_A:M_k\rightarrow M_k$, $G_A(X)=\sum_{i=1}^n tr(A_iX)B_i$, is equivalent to a doubly stochastic map. This procedure is based on the search for Perron eigenvectors of completely positive maps and unique solutions of, at most, $k$ unconstrained quadratic minimization problems. As a corollary, we can check whether this state can be put in the filter normal form. This normal form is an important tool for studying quantum entanglement. An extension of this procedure to PPT states in $M_k\otimes M_m$ is also presented.

Simplicity of reduced crossed products

We characterize the simplicity of reduced crossed product C*-algebras in terms of stabilizer subgroups. Specifically, we prove that if $G$ is a countable group and $X$ is a minimal $G$-flow, then the reduced crossed product C*-algebra $\mathrm{C}(X) \times_λG$ is simple if and only if there is a point in $X$ with a C*-simple stabilizer subgroup. Further, these conditions are equivalent to a generic point in $X$ having a C*-simple stabilizer subgroup. We also provide an example demonstrating that this result does not extend to uncountable groups. This completely resolves a question of Ozawa.

$\mathrm{C}^*$-selflessness of vigorous groups

We prove that countable groups which admit a faithful piecewise minimal-extremely-proximal action on the Cantor set are $\mathrm{C}^*$-selfless. In particular, topological full groups of second countable, Hausdorff, minimal, purely infinite, topologically principal, ample groupoids with compact unit spaces are $\mathrm{C}^*$-selfless. Examples include the Higman--Thompson groups and the Brin--Thompson groups.

Upper and lower limits of scales and the interchange of quantifiers

We define lower and upper limits for a family of structured subobjects of a fixed ambient object, as the direct limit of the meets over tails and the inverse limit of the joins over tails, and construct the canonical comparison morphism between them. The family need not be a diagram: its members are related only through the ambient object. We distinguish two senses in which the comparison may be invertible, before and after forgetting the structure, and prove that they coincide exactly when the forgetful functor reflects isomorphisms; they therefore agree for sets, for vector spaces and for Banach spaces, and separate for locally convex spaces. For countable scales of Banach spaces the separation cannot occur when the upper limit is ultrabornological, so under those hypotheses the obstruction is localised in the topology of that limit. Intermediate conditions correspond to factorisations of the forgetful functor, of which bornological convergence is one. In the cases that matter the comparison is an interchange of quantifiers: membership in the lower limit means that one value of the second index serves every value of the first, and membership in the upper limit that every value of the first is served by some value of the second. We exhibit this for spaces of test functions, for weighted Sobolev spaces, for Laurent series and for the adeles, and discuss three further conditions that suggest themselves.
