Abstract: Let A be a linear bounded operator acting on a Hilbert space H. The numerical range W (A) of A can be thought of as the image of the units sphere of H under the numerical range generating function fA : x 7→ (Ax, x). This talk is devoted to continuity −1 properties of the (multivalued) inverse mapping fA . In particular, strong continuity of −1 fA on the interior of W (A) is established.

Abstract: In 2013, Carden and Hansen proved that fixing µ1 ∈ W (A)\∂W (A), where A ∈ 3×3 C is a normal matrix with noncollinear eigenvalues, determines a unique number µ2 ∈ W (A) so that {µ1, µ2} forms a 2-Ritz set for A. They recognized that µ2 is the isogonal conjugate of µ1 with respect to the triangle formed by connecting the three eigenvalues of A. In this talk, we consider the analogous problem for a 4-by-4 normal matrix A. In particular, given µ1 ∈ W (A) in the interior of one of the quadrants formed by the diagonals of W (A), we prove that if {µ1, µ2} forms a 2-Ritz set, then µ2 lies in the convex hull of two eigenvalues of A and the two isogonal conjugates of µ1 with respect to the two triangles containing µ1. We examine how such a result can be used to understand 2-Ritz sets of n-by-n normal matrices. Co-author(s): Hugo J. Woerdeman (Department of Mathematics, Drexel University, USA).

The kth generalized numerical range of A ∈ Cn×n associated with G and χ is defined by { } G G ∗ ∈ Cn×k ∗ Wχ (A) = dχ (V AV ): V ,V V = Ik ,

G where dχ is the generalized matrix function associated with G and χ. It is closely related to the decomposable numerical range of derivations. When k = 1, it reduces to the classical G numerical range of A. In the talk, we shall discuss the geometric properties of Wχ (A) such as the convexity and star-shapedness.

For a bounded linear operator T on X , let the numerical range V (T ) of T is given by

V (T ) = {f(T x):(x, f) ∈ Π },

where Π is defined by Π = { (x, f) ∈ X × X ∗ : ∥f∥ = f(x) = ∥x∥ = 1 }.

In this talk I’ll introduce properties of numerical ranges of T .

The boundary curve of a numerical range is called a curve of constant width if its diameter and width are equal. In this talk, we provide an algorithm for computing the diameter and width of the numerical range, formulate the diameter of the numerical range of some unitary bordering matrices, and determine the condition for the boundary of the numerical range of certain Toeplitz matrices to be a curve of constant width.

For a Blaschke product B of degree d and λ on the unit circle, let ℓλ be the set of lines joining −1 each distinct two preimages in B (λ). The envelope of the family of lines {ℓλ}λ∈∂D is called the interior curve associated with B. In 2002, Daepp, Gorkin, and Mortini proved the interior curve associated with a Blaschke product of degree 3 forms an ellipse. −1 While let Lλ be the set of lines tangent to the unit circle at the d preimages B (λ) and consider the trace of the intersection points of each two elements in Lλ as λ ranges over the unit circle. This trace is called the exterior curve associated with B. The exterior curve associated with a Blaschke product of degree 3 forms a non-degenerate conic. In this talk, I explain the existence of a duality-like geometrical property lies between the interior curve and the exterior curve. Using this property, I create some examples of Blaschke products whose interior curves consist of two ellipses.

z2−0.47 z2−0.2 Figure 1: The envelope indicates the interior curve of B(z) = z 1−0.47z2 1−0.2z2 . The interior curve consists of two ellipses, one is inscribed in the family of pentagons and the other is inscribed in the family of pentagrams.

Rault ([email protected]) Department of Mathematics, University of Nebraska at Omaha, USA Title: Singularities of Base Polynomials and Gau-Wu Numbers Abstract: In 2013, Gau and Wu introduced a unitary invariant, denoted by k(A), of an n × n matrix A, which counts the maximal number of orthonormal vectors xj such that the scalar products ⟨Axj, xj⟩ lie on the boundary of the numerical range W (A). We refer to k(A) as the Gau–Wu number of the matrix A. We write H1 and iH2 for the Hermitian and skew-Hermitian parts of A (respectively), and use them to define the base polynomial F (x, y, t) = det(xH1 + yH2 + tI). In this talk we will take an algebraic-geometric ap- proach and consider the effect of the singularities of the base curve F (x : y : t) = 0, whose dual is the boundary generating curve, to classify k(A). This continues the work of Wang and Wu classifying the Gau-Wu numbers for 3 × 3 matrices. Our focus on singularities is inspired by Chien and Nakazato, who classified W (A) for 4 × 4 unitarily irreducible A with irreducible base curve according to singularities of that curve. When A is a unitarily irreducible n×n matrix, we give necessary conditions for k(A) = 2, characterize k(A) = n, and apply these results to the case of unitarily irreducible 4 × 4 matrices.

I will explain the general form of order isomorphisms between intervals of von Neumann algebras. In particular, I will explain that every order isomorphism between the positive cones of von Neumann algebras without commutative direct summands extends to a linear mapping.

Even though the two approaches are different, there is a close connection between them. In compressed sensing, based on four basic operator, we give a parametrized quasi-soft thresholding operator and its induced algorithm. Further, by updating parametrized quasi-soft thresholding operator in every iteration, the varied para- metric quasi-soft thresholding algorithm is obtained. Then we generalize both algorithms to suit matrix completion. Finally, the convergence of all algorithms are proved, and the numerical results given show that the new algorithms can effectively improve the accuracy to achieve compressed sensing and matrix completion.

In this talk we revisit standard concepts of thermodynamics for systems described by a non-Hemitian Hamil- tonian with real eigenvalues. We mainly focus on the standard case where the energy is the unique conserved quantity. However, other conserved quantities may be considered. Numerical range techniques are used.

We need indecomposable positive maps in order to PPT entanglement. We discuss what kinds of map do we need to detect nonzero volume of PPT entanglement. Exposedness arise naturally in this context. We exhibit several examples of exposed indecomposable positive maps in 3 ⊗ 3 and 2 ⊗ 2 ⊗ 2 cases. We also discuss how these maps can be used to study the structures of the convex set consisting of separable states.

Hyderabad, Sangareddy, Telangana, India-502 285 Title: On a subclass of norm attaining operators Abstract: A bounded linear operator T : H → H, where H is a Hilbert space, is said to be norm attaining if there exists a unit vector x ∈ H such that ∥T x∥ = ∥T ∥. Let RT denote the set of all reducing subspaces of T . Define

β(H) := {T ∈ B(H): T |M : M → M is norm attaining for every M ∈ RT }.

In this talk, we discuss properties and structure of positive operators in β(H) and compare with those of absolutely norm attaining operators (AN -operators). Co-author(s): Hiroyuki Osaka, Ritsumeikan University, BKC Campus, Kusatsu, Japan.

We discuss numerical radius inequalities related to the geometric means. Though the operator norm is unitarily invariant one, the numerical radius is not so and unitarily similar. In this talk, we show numerical radius inequalities related to the geo- metric means of negative power for positive invertible operators.

For A ∈ B (H), let w (A) and ∥A∥ denote the numerical radius and the usual operator norm of A, respectively. It is well known that 1 ∥A∥ ≤ w (A) ≤ ∥A∥ . 2 An improvement of the above inequality has been given by Kittaneh in 2005. It says that for A ∈ B (H), 1 1 ∥A∗A + AA∗∥ ≤ w2 (A) ≤ ∥A∗A + AA∗∥ . 4 2 In this talk, after reviewing recent results containing such inequalities, by using the prop- erties of convex functions, we improve under a certain condition and generalize these inequalities. Our trial to obtain improvements for the previous results depend on our tools of mathe- matical inequalities so that such an application to numerical radius inequalities is a new approach. Thus we hope to be useful for researchers in the field. Meanwhile we study this topic with geometrically convex functions, we obtained interesting scalar inequalities as a by-product.

Abstract: Let H be a complex Hilbert space with dim H ≥ 3, Bs(H) the Lie algebra of all bounded self-adjoint operators on H, and let F : B(H) → [d, ∞] with d ≥ 0 be a radial unitary similarity invariant function. A structure feature for maps ϕ on Bs(H) satisfying

F (ϕ(A)ϕ(B) − ϕ(B)ϕ(A)) = F (AB − BA)(A, B ∈ Bs(H))

is given. As an application of this result, a characterization of the maps on Bs(H) pre- serving the numerical radius, the maps preserving the p-norm, the maps preserving the pseudo spectral radius are obtained. Furthermore, complete classification of the maps on Bs(H) preserving the numerical range and the maps preserving the pseudo spectrum are also achieved. Co-author(s): Qingsen Xu (TYUT).

Abstract: Let Mm,n be the space of m × n real or complex rectangular matrices. Two ∗ ∗ matrices A, B ∈ Mm,n are disjoint if A B = 0n and AB = 0m. In this talk, a char- acterization is given for linear maps Φ : Mm,n → Mr,s sending disjoint matrix pairs to disjoint matrix pairs, i.e., A, B ∈ Mm,n being disjoint ensures that Φ(A), Φ(B) ∈ Mr,s being disjoint. The result is used to characterize nonsurjective linear maps that pre- serve JB∗-triple product, or just zero triple product, on rectangular matrices, defined by { } 1 ∗ ∗ A, B, C = 2 (AB C + CB A). The result is also applied to characterize linear maps between rectangular matrix spaces of different sizes preserving the Schatten p-norms or the Ky Fan k-norms.

Title: Ando-Hiai type inequalities for operator means and operator perspectives Abstract: When σ is an operator mean in the sense of Kubo-Ando and A, B > 0 are positive invertible operators, the Ando-Hiai inequality is typically stated as follows:

AσB ≤ I ⇒ ApσBp ≤ I (p ≥ 1),

AσB ≥ I ⇒ ApσBp ≥ I (p ≥ 1).

Since the first appearance in the case of weighted operator geometric means, Ando-Hiai type inequalities for operator means have been in active consideration, and have taken an important part in recent developments of multivariable operator means, in particular, of multivariable geometric means. We improve the existing Ando-Hiai inequalities for opera- tor means and present new ones for operator perspectives in several ways. We also provide the operator perspective version of the Lie-Trotter formula and consider the extension problem of operator perspectives to non-invertible positive operators.
