We study functions f : (a,b) ---> R on open intervals in R with respect to various kinds of positive and negative definiteness conditions. We say that f is positive definite if the kernel f((x + y)/2) is positive definite. We call f negative definite if, for every h > 0, the function e^{-hf} is positive definite. Our first main result is a Levy--Khintchine formula (an integral representation) for negative definite functions on arbitrary intervals. For (a,b) = (0,infty) it generalizes classical results by Bernstein and Horn. On a symmetric interval (-a,a), we call f reflection positive if it is positive definite and, in addition, the kernel f((x - y)/2) is positive definite. We likewise define reflection negative functions and obtain a Levy--Khintchine formula for reflection negative functions on all of R. Finally, we obtain a characterization of germs of reflection negative functions on 0-neighborhoods in R.
In this article we specialize a construction of a reflection positive Hilbert space due to Dimock and Jaffe--Ritter to the sphere $mathbb{S}^n$. We determine the resulting Osterwalder--Schrader Hilbert space, a construction that can be viewed as the
In the present paper we continue our investigations of the representation theoretic side of reflection positivity by studying positive definite functions psi on the additive group (R,+) satisfying a suitably defined KMS condition. These functions tak
We prove that the only entrywise transforms of rectangular matrices which preserve total positivity or total non-negativity are either constant or linear. This follows from an extended classification of preservers of these two properties for matrices
Recently the behavior of operator monotone functions on unbounded intervals with respect to the relation of strictly positivity has been investigated. In this paper we deeply study such behavior not only for operator monotone functions but also for o
We specify the structure of completely positive operators and quantum Markov semigroup generators that are symmetric with respect to a family of inner products, also providing new information on the order strucure an extreme points in some previously studied cases.
