Abstract: Milz and Strunz ({it J. Phys. A}: {�f{48}} [2015] 035306) recently studied the probabilities that two-qubit and qubit-qutrit states, randomly generated with respect to Hilbert-Schmidt (Euclidean/flat) measure, are separable. They concluded that in both cases, the separability probabilities (apparently exactly frac833 in the two-qubit scenario) hold {it constant} over the Bloch radii (r) of the single-qubit subsystems, jumping to 1 at the pure state boundaries (r=1). Here, firstly, we present evidence that in the qubit-qutrit case, the separability probability is uniformly distributed, as well, over the {it generalized} Bloch radius (R) of the qutrit subsystem. While the qubit (standard) Bloch vector is positioned in three-dimensional space, the qutrit generalized Bloch vector lives in eight-dimensional space. The radii variables r and R themselves are the lengths/norms (being square roots of {it quadratic} Casimir invariants) of these ("coherence") vectors. Additionally, we find that not only are the qubit-qutrit separability probabilities invariant over the quadratic Casimir invariant of the qutrit subsystem, but apparently also over the {it cubic} one--and similarly the case, more generally, with the use of random induced measure. We also investigate two-qutrit (3imes3) and qubit-{it qudit} (2imes4) systems--with seemingly analogous {it positive-partial-transpose}-probability invariances holding over what have been termed by Altafini, the {it partial} Casimir invariants of these systems.
