Proof of the Agler--McCarthy entropy conjecture
Jialin Lei, Teng Zhang
In 2021, J.~Agler and J.~E. McCarthy proposed a two-step programme toward the celebrated Krzyż conjecture. The first step is to prove an entropy conjecture for polynomials whose ze…
Intersections of Convex Hulls of Polynomial Shifts and Critical Points
Teng Zhang
Let be a complex polynomial of degree . For each , let denote the convex hull of the zeros of , and let denote the convex hull of…
An operator triangle inequality for the quadratic symmetric modulus
Teng Zhang
50 years after Thompson's famous triangle inequality for the operator right modulus, we establish a triangle inequality for the quadratic symmetric modulus. We also discuss the cor…
Johnson's determinantal identity for contiguous minors of Toeplitz matrices, with an accretive extension
Teng Zhang
Let be an real Toeplitz matrix satisfying , where is the all-ones matrix.If denotes the contiguous sub…
Schur--Horn type inequalities for hyperbolic polynomials
Teng Zhang
We establish a Schur--Horn type inequality for symmetric hyperbolic polynomials. As an immediate consequence, we resolve a conjecture of Nam Q. Le on Hadamard-type inequalities for…
Positive representations over real closed fields
Xenia Flamm, Nicolas Tholozan, Tianqi Wang +1
We develop the theory of -positive representations from general Fuchsian groups to linear groups over real closed fields. Our definition, which does not assume the boundary map…
Topology of the space of -pleated surfaces
Sara Maloni, Giuseppe Martone, Filippo Mazzoli +1
Given a maximal geodesic lamination on a closed oriented surface of genus , the space of -pleated surfaces with pleating locus is an open subset of $\mathrm{Hom}(…
Sharp Schoenberg type inequalities and the de Bruin--Sharma problem
Quanyu Tang, Teng Zhang
In this paper, we confirm two conjectures proposed by Georgiev, Gómez-Serrano, Tao, and Wagner~\cite{GGTW25} on Schoenberg type inequalities of order , thereby providing a compl…
A new proof of Lee's conjecture on the Frobenius norm via the matrix Cauchy-Schwarz inequality
Teng Zhang
In 2010, Eun-Young Lee conjectured that if are two complex matrices and are the absolute values of , respectively, then \[…
Proof of Audenaert-Kittaneh's Conjecture
Teng Zhang
By using the Three-lines theorem for a certain analytic function defined in terms of the trace and a duality argument method, we prove Audenaert-Kittaneh's conjecture related to $p…
Theoretical Guarantees for Sparse Principal Component Analysis based on the Elastic Net
Teng Zhang, Haoyi Yang, Lingzhou Xue
Sparse principal component analysis (SPCA) is widely used for dimensionality reduction and feature extraction in high-dimensional data analysis. Despite many methodological and the…
