Eigenvalue of a convolution and a restriction?
Let $\epsilon>0$ be small. Let $\eta(t) = \frac{2\epsilon}{\epsilon^2+(2\pi t)^2}$ (the Fourier transform of $x\mapsto e^{-\epsilon |x|}$). Let $V$ be the space of integrable, bounded functions $f:\...

Eigenvalues of a certain combinatorially defined matrix
Let $A_n$ be the matrix whose rows and columns are indexed by pairs
$(i,j)$ with $1\leq i,j\leq n$ and $i\neq j$ (so $A$ is an
$n(n-1)\times n(n-1)$ matrix), whose $((i,j),(k,l))$-entry is 0 if
$i=k$ ...

Why is the second order correction to energy zero for a fully degenerate eigensystem? [closed]
Consider the system given by,
$$ H|n\rangle = E|n\rangle$$
where:
$H$ is the hamiltonian.
$|n\rangle$ is the eigenstate.
$E$ is the energy of the eigenstate.
Using degenerate perturbation theory and ...

Can the higher order corrections to energy be calculated the same way in degenerate perturbation theory as with non-degenerate perturbation theory?
Consider the system given by,
$$ H|n\rangle = E|n\rangle$$
where:
$H$ is the hamiltonian.
$|n\rangle$ is the eigenstate.
$E$ is the energy of the eigenstate.
Now from non-degenerate perturbation ...

max eigenvalue and schatten-1 norm of depolarizing channel acting on trace-0 Hermitian matrix
Denote $\mathcal{H}^n$ as the $n-$dimension Hermitian matrices. Depolarizing channel $\Delta_p:\mathcal{H}^2\to\mathcal{H}^2$ is defined as $\Delta_p(A)=p\text{ tr }(A)~I/2+(1-p)A$ where $A\in \...

Tight upper bound on a ratio involving symmetric PSD matrices and Kronecker products
Let $\mathbf{A}_i \in \mathbb{R}^{d \times d}$ ($i = 1, \dots, T$) be symmetric positive semidefinite (PSD) matrices. Define the quantity
$$
m = \frac{\lambda_{\max}\left(\sum_{i=1}^T \mathbf{A}_i^2\...
