The unassisted classical capacity of the generalized amplitude-damping channel

Claims that for every γ,ν∈[0,1]\gamma,\nu\in[0,1] the unassisted classical capacity of Aγ,ν\mathcal A_{\gamma,\nu} equals its one-shot Holevo capacity, given by max⁡p∈[0,1][h((1−γ)p+γν)−g(γν(1−ν)+γ(1−γ)(p−ν)2)]\max_{p\in[0,1]}[h((1-\gamma)p+\gamma\nu)-g(\gamma\nu(1-\nu)+\gamma(1-\gamma)(p-\nu)^2)] in bits, with gg the entropy of a qubit state of given determinant, attained by two equiprobable pure signals of opposite phase and their independent products. It also claims additivity of one-shot Holevo capacity, minimum output entropy and regularized classical capacity under tensoring with any finite-dimensional channel. It does NOT give the quantum or private capacity of the channel, entanglement-assisted settings, or a closed form for the maximizing pp.
