On a theorem of Carlson on the necessary and sufficient condition for a matrix to have $m$ real eigenvalues
Background: In the physics of open quantum systems the Lindbladian $\mathcal{L}$ governs the evolution of quantum states through the Lindblad master equation.
The Lindblad operator usually has ...

Massive dirac operator symmetric spectrum
Consider the Dirac operator
$$ H = \begin{pmatrix} m & -i\partial_z \\ -i\partial_{\bar z} & -m \end{pmatrix},$$
where $\partial_{\bar z}$ is the Cauchy-Riemann operator and $m \ge 0.$
It is ...

When is rank-1 perturbation to a positive operator still positive?
Let $A : \mathcal{H} \to \mathcal{H}$ and $B : \mathcal{H} \to \mathcal{H}$ be trace-class (hence compact) Hermitian operators on a separable Hilbert space. Assume that $A$ is strictly positive and ...
