Asymptotic Rigidity and Boundary Structure of Yang's Numerical Invariants for the Bidisk Submodules $[z^k-w^\ell]$

Abstract

Let \[ M_{k,\ell}=[z^k-w^\ell]\subset H^2(\mathbb D^2), \qquad k,\ell\in\mathbb N,\quad k\ne\ell . \] We study the large-index asymptotics of Yang's numerical invariants and the boundary structure of their generating function. Starting from the exact staircase formula obtained in our preceding work, we prove that \[ Σ_j(M_{k,\ell}) = \frac{C_{k,\ell}}{j} + O(j^{-2}), \] where \[ C_{k,\ell} = \int_0^\infty \frac{x^2} {(x+1/k)^2(x+1/\ell)^2}\,dx . \] The first strict descent together with $C_{k,\ell}$ recovers the unordered pair $\{k,\ell\}$, yielding an asymptotic rigidity principle. At the next order we obtain a periodic correction \[ Σ_j(M_{k,\ell}) = \frac{C_{k,\ell}}{j} + \frac{Ψ_{k,\ell}(j)}{j^2} + O(j^{-3}), \] whose least period is \(\operatorname{lcm}(k,\ell)\), and we determine the leading amplitudes of the strict drops. For Yang's generating function \[ \mathcal P_{k,\ell}(t) = \sum_{j=0}^{\infty}Σ_j(M_{k,\ell})t^j, \] we prove that it has radius of convergence one and a logarithmic singularity at $t=1$; hence it is never a polynomial for $k\ne\ell$, giving a negative answer to Yang's polynomiality question within this quasi-homogeneous family. The periodic higher-order corrections generate root-of-unity polylogarithmic boundary modes. The leading logarithmic coefficient together with the second-order boundary support determines the unordered pair $\{k,\ell\}$, while successive renormalized boundary limits recover the Fourier coefficients of every finite-order periodic asymptotic term.

Positive definite functions of noncommuting contractions, Hua-Bellman matrices, and a new distance metric

We study positive definiteness of Hua-Bellman matrices (i.e., matrices of the form $[\det(I-A_i^*A_j)^{-α}]_{ij}$, where $A_i$ and $A_j$ are strict contractions and $α\in\mathbb{R}$). We start by revisiting a 1959 work of Bellman (Representation theorems and inequalities for Hermitian matrices; Duke Mathematical J., 26(3), 1959) that studies positive definiteness of Hua-Bellman matrices and claims a strengthening of Hua's representation-theoretic results (Inequalities involving determinants; Acta Mathematica Sinica, 5 (1955)). We uncover a critical error in Bellman's proof that has surprisingly escaped notice to date, and we show by an explicit example that his claim itself is false. We then provide conditions under which $\det(I-A^*B)^{-α}$ is a positive definite function. For complex contractions our condition is the known sharp one, with the integer exponents below Hua's range reached by an elementary argument. For real symmetric contractions we recover the part of Bellman's claims that survives. Building on our result, we introduce a new Poincaré-like distance metric on noncommuting strict contractions, and yet another `log-det' based distance in the appendix.

Sharp perturbation bounds on the Frobenius norm of subunitary and positive polar factor

Leveraging tools from convex analysis and incorporating additional singular value information of matrices, we completely resolve the problem of establishing perturbation bounds for the Frobenius norm of subunitary and positive polar factors. We derive corresponding sharp upper and lower bounds. As corollaries, we refine the results of Li and Sun [SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 23 (2002), pp. 1183--1193] and strengthen the classical Araki-Yamagami inequality [Comm. Math. Phys., 81 (1981), no. 1, pp. 89--96]. The versatility of our method also allows us to strengthen Lee's conjecture, providing a sharper version along with a matching sharp lower bound. Furthermore, we generalize the classical matrix arithmetic-geometric mean inequality and Cauchy-Schwarz inequality into tighter and more robust forms. Finally, we establish a sharp lower bound for a result by Kittaneh [Comm. Math. Phys., 104 (1986), no. 2, pp. 307--310].

On the Dilation Theory and Canonical Decomposition of $\mathbfΘ_n$-Contractions

This paper investigates the domain $\mathbfΘ_n$ from an operator-theoretic perspective. We establish several characterizations of $\mathbfΘ_n$-contractions, $\mathbfΘ_n$-unitaries, and $\mathbfΘ_n$-isometries, and explore their connections with $Γ_n$- and tetrablock operator tuples, as well as with the corresponding operator classes associated with $\mathbfΘ_{n+1}$. We prove that every $\mathbfΘ_n$-contraction admits a canonical decomposition as the direct sum of a $\mathbfΘ_n$-unitary and a completely non-unitary $\mathbfΘ_n$-contraction. We further develop the conditional dilation theory for $\mathbfΘ_n$-contractions and establish necessary conditions for the existence of $\mathbfΘ_n$-isometric dilations. We show that the conditions in Theorem~\ref{Conditional Dilation} are not, in general, sufficient by constructing a $\mathbfΘ_3$-contraction that admits a $\mathbfΘ_3$-isometric dilation although condition~(2) of Theorem~\ref{Conditional Dilation} fails. We further study pure $\mathbfΘ_n$-isometric dilations of $\mathbfΘ_n$-contractions and establish a Hardy space characterization of such dilations. We show that the resulting $\mathbfΘ_n$-isometric dilation is minimal. We also study isometric dilations of doubly commuting $\mathbfΘ_n$-contractions under suitable Hardy space compatibility conditions. Finally, we identify a special class of $\mathbfΘ_2$-contractions that admits a $\mathbfΘ_2$-isometric dilation.
