A case study is added to our recent work on Quillen phenomenon. Pointwise positivity of polynomials on generalized lemniscates of the complex plane is related to sums of hermitian squares of rational functions, and via operator quantization, to essential subnormality.

In this note, compound-commuting additive maps on matrix spaces are studied. We show that compound-commuting additive maps send rank one matrices to matrices of rank less than or equal to one. By using the structural results of rank-one nonincreasing additive maps, we characterize compound-commuting additive maps on four types of matrices: triangular matrices, square matrices, symmetric matrices and Hermitian matrices.
