We present a unified approach to the study of separable and Frobenius algebras. The crucial observation is that both types of algebras are related to the nonlinear equation RR = RR = RR, called the FS-equation. Given a solution to the FS-equation satisfying a certain normalizing condition, we can construct a Frobenius algebra or a separable algebra A(R) the normalizing condition is different in...

A natural generalization of the classical Moore-Penrose inverse is presented. The so-called S-Moore-Penrose inverse of a m × n complex matrix A, denoted by AS, is defined for any linear subspace S of the matrix vector space Cn×m. The S-Moore-Penrose inverse AS is characterized using either the singular value decomposition or (for the nonsingular square case) the orthogonal complements with resp...

Bialgebras and Frobenius algebras are different ways in which monoids and comonoids interact as part of the same theory. Such theories feature in many fields: e.g. quantum computing, compositional semantics of concurrency, network algebra and component-based programming. In this paper we study an important sub-theory of Coecke and Duncan’s ZX-calculus, related to strongly-complementary observab...

We study the general theory of Frobenius algebras with group actions. These structures arise when one is studying the algebraic structures associated to a geometry stemming from a physical theory with a global finite gauge group, i.e. orbifold theories. In this context, we introduce and axiomatize these algebras. Furthermore, we define geometric cobordism categories whose functors to the catego...

Our interest in the diagram (1.1) comes from questions related to the action of the Frobenius map on vector bundles like e.g. surjectivity of V , density of Frobenius-stable bundles, loci of Frobenius-destabilized bundles (see [LP]). These questions are largely open when the rank of the bundles, the genus of the curve or the characteristic of the field are arbitrary. In [LP] we made use of the ...

Sadrzadeh et al (2013) present a compositional distributional analysis of relative clauses in English in terms of the Frobenius algebraic structure of finite dimensional vector spaces. The analysis relies on distinct type assignments and lexical recipes for subject vs object relativisation. The situation for Dutch is different: because of the verb final nature of Dutch, relative clauses are amb...

This article provides sufficient conditions for positive maps on the Schatten classes Jp; 1 p < 1 of bounded operators on a separable Hilbert space such that a corresponding Perron-Frobenius theorem holds. With applications in quantum information theory in mind sufficient conditions are given for a trace preserving, positive map on J1, the space of trace class operators, to have a unique, stric...

We study the optimal and superoptimal Frobenius operators in a general matrix vector space and in particular in the multilevel trigonometric matrix vector spaces, by emphasizing both the algebraic and geometric properties. These general results are used to extend the Korovkin matrix theory for the approximation of block Toeplitz matrices via trigonometric vector spaces. The abstract theory is t...

Quantum homogeneous vector bundles are introduced by a direct description of their sections in the context of Woronowicz type compact quantum groups. The bundles carry natural topologies inherited from the quantum groups, and their sections furnish projective modules over algebras of functions on quantum homogeneous spaces. Further properties of the quantum homogeneous vector bundles are invest...
