Comparison of matrix norms on bipartite spaces

Two non-commutative versions of the classical L^q(L^p) norm on the algebra of (mn)x(mn) matrices are compared. The first norm was defined recently by Carlen and Lieb, as a byproduct of their analysis of certain convex functions on matrix spaces. The second norm was defined by Pisier and others using results from the theory of operator spaces. It is shown that the second norm is upper bounded by a constant multiple of the first for all 1 <= p <= 2, q >= 1. In one case (2 = p < q) it is also shown that there is no such lower bound, and hence that the norms are inequivalent. It is conjectured that the norms are inequivalent in all cases.

Semiclassical Asymptotics on Manifolds with Boundary

We discuss semiclassical asymptotics for the eigenvalues of the Witten Laplacian for compact manifolds with boundary in the presence of a general Riemannian metric. To this end, we modify and use the variational method suggested by Kordyukov, Mathai and Shubin (2005), with a more extended use of quadratic forms instead of the operators. We also utilize some important ideas and technical elements from Helffer and Nier (2006), who were the first to supply a complete proof of the full semi-classical asymptotic expansions for the eigenvalues with fixed numbers.

New multiplicativity results for qubit maps

Let $Φ$ be a trace-preserving, positivity-preserving (but not necessarily completely positive) linear map on the algebra of complex $2 \times 2$ matrices, and let $Ω$ be any finite-dimensional completely positive map. For $p=2$ and $p \geq 4$, we prove that the maximal $p$-norm of the product map $Φ\ot Ω$ is the product of the maximal $p$-norms of $Φ$ and $Ω$. Restricting $Φ$ to the class of completely positive maps, this settles the multiplicativity question for all qubit channels in the range of values $p \geq 4$.
