چکیده
We prove the most general reflection positivity results for both scalar fields and Dirac fields on a Riemannian manifold, and comment on applications to quantum field theory. As another application, we prove the inequality C D ≤ C N between Dirichlet and Neumann covariance operators on a manifold with a reflection.

In this paper we discuss symmetrically self-dual spaces, which are simply real vector spaces with a symmetric bilinear form. Certain subsets of the space will be called q-positive, where q is the quadratic form induced by the original bilinear form. The notion of q-positivity generalizes the classical notion of the monotonicity of a subset of a product of a Banach space and its dual. Maximal q-...

Hermitian positive definite, totally positive, and nonsingular M -matrices enjoy many common properties, in particular (A) positivity of all principal minors, (B) weak sign symmetry, (C) eigenvalue monotonicity, (D) positive stability. The class of GKK matrices is defined by properties (A) and (B), whereas the class of nonsingular τ matrices by (A) and (C). It was conjectured that (A), (B) =⇒ (...
متن کاملOn the Canonical c-Function in 4-d Field Theories Possessing Supergravity Duals
We study monotonicity and other properties of the canonical c-function (defined through the correlator of the energy-momentum tensor) in some holographic duals of 4-d quantum field theories. The canonical c-function and its derivatives are related to the 5d Green’s function of the dual supergravity theory. While positivity of the canonical c-function is obvious, we have not found a general proo...
متن کاملExtremum-Preserving Limiters for MUSCL and PPM
Limiters are nonlinear hybridization techniques that are used to preserve positivity and monotonicity when numerically solving hyperbolic conservation laws. Unfortunately, the original methods suffer from the truncation-error being 1 order accurate at all extrema despite the accuracy of the higher-order method [1, 2, 3, 4]. To remedy this problem, higherorder extensions were proposed that relie...
