This article has two interpenetrating motifs. One is an exposition of some major ideas and techniques behind the use of <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/mathematics/block-matrix">block matrices</a>, and especially their positivity <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/mathematics/sigma-property">properties</a>. This is done by focussing on one major problem: characterisation of operators whose numerical radius is bounded by one. So, the article could serve as an introduction to that topic as well.

Let&nbsp;&lambda;j&nbsp;and&nbsp;ajj,&nbsp;1&le;j&le;n, be the eigenvalues and the diagonal entries of a <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/mathematics/hermitian-matrix">Hermitian matrix</a> A, both enumerated in the increasing order. We prove some inequalities that are stronger than the Schur majorisation inequalities&nbsp;&sum;j=1r&lambda;j&le;&sum;j=1rajj,&nbsp;1&le;r&le;n.

Let f be a transformation on the Euclidean space such that f(0) = 0, and f preserves distances. Then f is linear, and this makes it easier to analyze f. The Mazur—Ulam theorem generalizes this to maps between real normed linear spaces. We discuss this theorem and its proofs.

Affine Anosov Representations and Proper Actions

In this paper we study the convergence of dynamical discrete web (DyDW) to the dynamical Brownian web (DyBW) in the path space topology. We show that almost surely the DyBW has RCLL paths taking values in an appropriate metric space and as a sequence of RCLL paths, the scaled dynamical discrete web converges to the DyBW. This proves weak convergence of the DyDW process to the DyBW process

Singular Gauss sums, Polya–Vinogradov inequality for GL(2) and growth of primitive elements

We develop a calculus that gives an elementary approach to enumerate partition-like objects using an infinite number-theoretic matrix. We call this matrix the partition-frequency enumeration (PFE) matrix. This matrix unifies a large number of results connecting number-theoretic functions to partition-theoretic functions. The calculus is extended to arbitrary generating functions, and functions with Weierstrass products. As a by-product, we recover (and extend) some well-known recurrence relations for many number-theoretic functions, including the sum of divisors function, Ramanujan’s 𝜏<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mi>τ</mi></math>&nbsp;function, sums of squares and triangular numbers, and for 𝜁(2𝑛)<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mi>ζ</mi><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mn>2</mn><mi>n</mi><mo stretchy="false">)</mo></math>, where n is a positive integer. These include classical results due to Euler, Ewell, Ramanujan, Lehmer, and others.
