Monotone additive matrix transformations

We investigate additive transformations on the space of real or complex matrices that are monotone with respect to any admissible partial order relation. A complete characterization of these transformations is obtained. In the real case, we show that such transformations are linear and that all nonzero monotone transformations are bijective. As a corollary, we characterize all additive transformations that are monotone with respect to certain classical matrix order relations, in particular, with respect to the Drazin order, left and right *-orders, and the diamond order.     

Decompositions of continuity and complete continuity

We introduce the notions of δ-t-sets, δ_β-t-sets, δ-B-continuity and δ_β -B-continuity and obtain decompositions of continuity and complete continuity.     

Critical dynamics of the Potts model in several dimensionalities

We study critical dynamics of general q-state Potts models on d-dimensional hypercubic lattices. The master equation is formulated according to a theory recently presented by the author. A simple bond moving technique, followed by decimation, is used to obtain the dynamical exponents. Although this approximation yields poor results for the static exponents, the dynamic behaviour is closer to Monte Carlo simulations. We compare our results with those obtained with a different formulation of dynamics. A final discussion is included.     

Exact and approximate results for the Anderson impurity model

This paper provides exact and rigorous upper and lower bounds to the ground state energy of the Single Impurity Anderson Model in the limit of infiniteU. The upper bound approximates the ground state energy very well and the corresponding state may be used as a starting point for further investigations. The energy spectrum of the Single Impurity Anderson Model is calculated exactly for a special non-trivial model density of states describing the bare band electrons. All approaches introduced here are compared to this exact result and to other ground state energy calculations.
