Abstract

In this paper we give an alternative proof that the family of matrices studied by Daeshik Choi in A proof of Crouzeix's conjecture for a class of matrices, Linear Algebra and its Applications, 438, no. 8 (2013), pp. 3247-3257, satisfy Crouzeix's conjecture. We also show that they satisfy the completely bounded version of the conjecture.

Conditional expectation operators on $C(X)$

At the COSAEF conference in 2021, several participants asked the question whether a conditional expectation operator in the sense of Kuo, Labaushagne and Watson could be constructed in vector lattices other than $\mathcal{L}_p$ spaces and in particular in $C(X)$. This work answers positively to this question and participates in an old discussion on integrals in $C(X)$ space.

Hypercontractivity for a family of quantum Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroups

We show that a family of quantum Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroups is hypercontractive. We also obtain the optimal order of the optimal time up to a constant. The main ingredient of our proof is Meixner polynomials. The goal of this paper is twofold: to provide more examples of hypercontractive quantum Markov semigourps on non-tracial von Neumann algebras, and to determine the optimal order of the optimal time for quantum Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroups.

Fixed Point Rigidity of the Operator $Γ_pΠ_p^\ast$ and the LYZ Conjecture

We characterize the fixed points of the operator $Γ_pΠ_p^\ast$ for $n\geq 3$ and $1 0$ if and only if $K$ is an origin-centered ellipsoid, thereby settling the Lutwak--Yang--Zhang fixed-point conjecture in this range. Our proof is based on a variational analysis along linear reflection shadow systems. To address the nonlinear structure of the $L_p$ setting, we introduce the $L_p$-Projection Rolodex, which provides a dimensional reduction of the volume of the polar $L_p$-projection body to weighted lower-dimensional sectional functionals. A suitable change of variables, together with Ball's harmonic Prékopa--Leindler inequality, yields the convexity needed along the shadow system. Under the fixed-point condition, a first-variation identity then forces $\operatorname{vol}_n(Π_p^\ast K_t)$ to remain constant throughout the deformation. The rigidity statement follows from the equality characterization under Steiner symmetrization.
