On the minimal spectral radii of skew-reciprocal integer matrices

Geometric Topology 2025-12-15 v2 Number Theory

Abstract

We determine the minimal spectral radii among all skew-reciprocal integer matrices of a fixed even dimension that are primitive or nonnegative and irreducible. In particular, except for dimension six, we show that each such class of matrices realises smaller spectral radii than the corresponding reciprocal class.
