Let $\rho(A)$ denote the spectral radius of a square matrix $A$. Let $r,d$ be positive integers. Let $X_1,\dots,X_r$ be $d\times d$-real matrices. Then do we necessarily have $$\rho(X_1\dots X_r)^{2/r …

Let $d,m$ be positive integers. Suppose that $A_{i,j}$ is a $d\times d$-matrix with real entries whenever $i,j\in\{1,\dots m\}$. Let $A$ be the $dm\times dm$ matrix that can be written as a block matr …

Let $V$ be a finite dimensional complex Hilbert space. Let $L(V)$ denote the collection of all linear operators from $V$ to $V$. An operator $\mathcal{E}:L(V)\rightarrow L(V)$ is said to be positive i …

Let $V$ be a finite dimensional complex inner product space. If $A_1,\dots,A_r\in L(V)$, then define a mapping $\Phi(A_1,\dots,A_r):L(V)\rightarrow L(V)$ by letting $\Phi(A_1,\dots,A_r)(X)=A_1XA_1^*+\ …

If $Z_1,\dots,Z_r$ are complex $m\times m$-matrices, then let $\Phi(A_1,\dots,A_r):M_m(\mathbb{C})\rightarrow M_m(\mathbb{C})$ be the linear mapping defined by $\Phi(A_1,\dots,A_r)(X)=A_1XA_1^*+\dots+ …

Let $V$ be a complex finite dimensional inner product space. If $A_{1},\dots,A_{n}:V\rightarrow V$ are linear operators, then let $\Phi(A_{1},\dots,A_{n}):L(V)\rightarrow L(V)$ be the superoperator de …

If $X$ is a complex matrix, then let $\overline{X}=(X^T)^*=(X^*)^T$ (this means that $\overline{X}$ is the matrix obtained by replacing every entry in $X$ with its complex conjugate), and let $\rho(X) …

If $A$ is a matrix, then let $\rho(A)$ denote the spectral radius of $A$. If $A=(a_{i,j})_{i,j}$, then let $\overline{A}=(\overline{a_{i,j}})_{i,j}$. Suppose that $A_1,\dots,A_r\in M_{n}(\mathbb{C})$ …
