Extreme points of the closed unit ball in C*-algebras

Rainer Berntzen (1997)

Colloquium Mathematicae

In this short note we give a short and elementary proof of a characterization of those extreme points of the closed unit ball in C*-algebras which are unitary. The result was originally proved by G. K. Pedersen using some methods from the theory of approximation by invertible elements.

Extreme points of the complex binary trilinear ball

Fernando Cobos, Thomas Kühn, Jaak Peetre (2000)

Studia Mathematica

We characterize all the extreme points of the unit ball in the space of trilinear forms on the Hilbert space 2 . This answers a question posed by R. Grząślewicz and K. John [7], who solved the corresponding problem for the real Hilbert space 2 . As an application we determine the best constant in the inequality between the Hilbert-Schmidt norm and the norm of trilinear forms.

Extreme topological measures

S. V. Butler (2006)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

It has been an open question since 1997 whether, and under what assumptions on the underlying space, extreme topological measures are dense in the set of all topological measures on the space. The present paper answers this question. The main result implies that extreme topological measures are dense on a variety of spaces, including spheres, balls and projective planes.

Extremely non-complex Banach spaces

Miguel Martín, Javier Merí (2011)

Open Mathematics

A Banach space X is said to be an extremely non-complex space if the norm equality ∥Id +T 2∥ = 1+∥T 2∥ holds for every bounded linear operator T on X. We show that every extremely non-complex Banach space has positive numerical index, it does not have an unconditional basis and that the infimum of diameters of the slices of its unit ball is positive.

Facial structures of separable and PPT states

Seung-Hyeok Kye (2011)

Banach Center Publications

A positive semi-definite block matrix (a state if it is normalized) is said to be separable if it is the sum of simple tensors of positive semi-definite matrices. A state is said to be entangled if it is not separable. It is very difficult to detect the border between separable and entangled states. The PPT (positive partial transpose) criterion tells us that the partial transpose of a separable state is again positive semi-definite, as was observed by M. D. Choi in 1982 from...
