AbstractLet U(n) be the group of n × n unitary matrices. We show that if ϕ is a linear transformation sending U(n) into U(m), then m is a multiple of n, and ϕ has the formfor some V, W ∈ U(m). From this result, one easily deduces the characterization of linear operators that map U(n) into itself obtained by Marcus. Further generalization of the main theorem is also discussed.

Abstract Let $$T:A\rightarrow X$$ T : A → X be a bounded linear operator, where A is a $$\hbox {C}^*$$ C ∗ -algebra, and X denotes an essential Banach A-bimodule. We prove that the following statements are equivalent: (a) T is anti-derivable at zero (i.e., $$ab =0$$ a b = 0 in A implies $$T(b) a + b T(a)=0$$ T ( b ) a + b T ( a ) = 0 ); (b) There exist an anti-derivation $$d:A\rightarrow X^{**}$$ d : A → X ∗ ∗ and an element $$\xi \in X^{**}$$ ξ ∈ X ∗ ∗ satisfying $$\xi a = a \xi ,$$ ξ a = a ξ , $$\xi [a,b]=0,$$ ξ [ a , b ] = 0 , $$T(a b) = b T(a) + T(b) a - b \xi a,$$ T ( a b ) = b T ( a ) + T ( b ) a - b ξ a , and $$T(a) = d(a) + \xi a,$$ T ( a ) = d ( a ) + ξ a , for all $$a,b\in A$$ a , b ∈ A . We also prove a similar equivalence when X is replaced with $$A^{**}$$ A ∗ ∗ . This provides a complete characterization of those bounded linear maps from A into X or into $$A^{**}$$ A ∗ ∗ which are anti-derivable at zero. We also present a complete characterization of those continuous linear operators which are $$^*$$ ∗ -anti-derivable at zero.

1. Introduction and s t a t e m e n t of results. Let F be a field and Mn(F) the n X n matrices over F. Set GL(n, F) to be t he units in Mn(F). Suppose H is a subgroup of GL(n, F) and L is an L-linear operator on Mn(F) mapping H into itself. Can L be neatly characterized?Marcus [2] answered this question when F is the complex numbers C and H the unitary group. The set of such L is a group and L has the form L(A) = UAV or L(A) = UA'V where U, V are fixed unitary matrices and A’ is t he transpose of A.

AbstractWe provide a complete characterization of the possible sets of periods for Devaney chaotic linear operators on Hilbert spaces. As a consequence, we also derive this characterization for linearizable maps on Banach spaces.

Given a linear mapΦ:Mn→Mm, its multiplicity maps are defined as the family of linear mapsΦ⊗idk:Mn⊗Mk→Mm⊗Mk, whereidkdenotes the identity onMk. Let‖⋅‖1denote the trace-norm on matrices, as well as the induced trace-norm on linear maps of matrices, i.e.‖Φ‖1=max{‖Φ(X)‖1:X∈Mn,‖X‖1=1}. A fact of fundamental importance in both operator algebras and quantum information is that‖Φ⊗idk‖1can grow withk. In general, the rate of growth is bounded by‖Φ⊗idk‖1≤k‖Φ‖1, and matrix transposition is the canonical example of a map achieving this bound. We prove that, up to an equivalence, the transpose is the unique map achieving this bound. The equivalence is given in terms of complete trace-norm isometries, and the proof relies on a particular characterization of complete trace-norm isometries regarding preservation of certain multiplication relations.We use this result to characterize the set of single-shot quantum channel discrimination games satisfying a norm relation that, operationally, implies that the game can be won with certainty using entanglement, but is hard to win without entanglement. Specifically, we show that the well-known example of such a game, involving the Werner-Holevo channels, is essentially the unique game satisfying this norm relation. This constitutes a step towards a characterization of single-shot quantum channel discrimination games with maximal gap between optimal performance of entangled and unentangled strategies.

Throughout this paper, we suppose that T and R are continuous linear operators on the Banach spaces X and Y, respectively. One of the basic problems in the theory of automatic continuity is the determination of conditions under which a linear transformation S: X → Y which satisfies RS = ST is continuous or is discontinuous. Johnson and Sinclair [4], [6], [11; pp. 24–30] have given a variety of conditions on R and T which guarantee that all such S are automatically continuous. In this paper we consider the converse problem and find conditions on the range S(X) which guarantee that S is automatically discontinuous. The construction of such automatically discontinuous S is then accomplished by a simple modification of a technique of Sinclair's [10; pp. 260–261], [11; pp. 21–23].

Let F be a field, Mn(F) be the vector space of all w-square matrices with entries in F and a subset of Mn(F). It is of interest to determine the structure of linear maps T : Mn(F) →Mn(F) such that . For example: Let be GL(n, C), the group of all nonsingular n X n matrices over C [5]; the subset of all rank 1 matrices in MmXn(F) [4] (MmXn(F) is the vector space of all m X n matrices over F) ; the unitary group [2] ; or the set of all matrices X in Mn(F) such that det(X) = 0 [1]. Other results in this direction can be found in [3].

A collection of subspaces of a Hilbert space is called a nest if it is totally ordered by inclusion. The set of all bounded linear operators leaving invariant each member of a given nest forms a weakly-closed algebra, called a nest algebra. Nest algebras were introduced by J. R. Ringrose in [9]. The present paper is concerned with generating nest algebras as weakly-closed algebras, and in particular with the following question which was first raised by H. Radjavi and P. Rosenthal in [8], viz: Is every nest algebra on a separable Hilbert space generated, as a weakly-closed algebra, by two operators? That the answer to this question is affirmative is proved by first reducing the problem using the main result of [8] and then by using a characterization of nests due to J. A. Erdos [2].

Abstract The preservation principle of the local theta correspondence predicts the existence of a chain of irreducible supercuspidal representations of p-adic classical groups. In this paper, we give an explicit characterization of the chain starting from an irreducible supercuspidal representations of a unitary group of one variable or an orthogonal group of two variables. In particular, we define the Lusztig-like correspondence of generic cuspidal data for p-adic groups and establish its relation with local theta correspondence of supercuspidal representations for p-adic dual pairs.

Denote by𝒦n(F)the linear space of alln×nalternate matrices over a fieldF. We first characterize all linear bijective maps on𝒦n(F)(n≥4)preserving rank 2 whenFis any field, and thereby the characterization of all linear bijective maps on𝒦n(F)preserving the max-rank is done whenFis any field except for{0,1}. Furthermore, the linear preservers of the determinant (resp., adjoint) on𝒦n(F)are also characterized by reducing them to the linear preservers of the max-rank whennis even andFis any field except for{0,1}. This paper can be viewed as a supplement version of several related results.
