We construct a binary mutation invariant for skew-symmetric integer matrices. The invariant is not an integer congruence invariant for matrices of odd size: we provide examples of congruent such matrices with different values for the…

We give a new and elementary proof that simultaneous similarity and simultaneous equivalence of families of matrices are invariant under extension of the ground field, a result which is non-trivial for finite fields and first appeared in a…

Two arrays form a periodic complementary pair if the sum of their periodic autocorrelations is a delta function. Finding such pairs, however, is challenging for large arrays whose entries are constrained to a small alphabet. One such…

Despite their popularity, many questions about the algebraic constraints imposed by linear structural equation models remain open problems. For causal discovery, two of these problems are especially important: the enumeration of the…

In our previous article [arXiv:1607.06041], we established an equivalence between pointed pivotal module tensor categories and anchored planar algebras. This article introduces the notion of unitarity for both module tensor categories and…

We show that the bilinear complexity of multiplication in a non-split quaternion algebra over a field of characteristic distinct from 2 is 8. This question is motivated by the problem of characterising algebras of almost minimal rank…

We study four (families of) sets of algebraic integers of degree less than or equal to three. Apart from being simply defined, we show that they share two distinctive characteristics: almost uniformity and arithmetical independence. Here,…

Kaplansky conjectured that if two positive-definite real ternary quadratic forms have perfectly identical representations over $\mathbb{Z}$, they are constant multiples of regular forms, or is included in either of two families parametrized…

Let F be a field. We investigate the greatest possible dimension t_n(F) for a vector space of n-by-n matrices with entries in F and in which every element is triangularizable over the ground field F. It is obvious that t_n(F) is greater…

In this paper we continue studying of matrix $n\times n$ linear differential intertwining operators. The problems of minimization and of reducibility of matrix intertwining operators are considered and criterions of weak minimizability and…

We investigate invertible matrices over finite additively idempotent semirings. The main result provides a criterion for the invertibility of such matrices. We also give a construction of the inverse matrix and a formula for the number of…

We develop a procedure for determining whether a square complex matrix is unitarily equivalent to a complex symmetric (i.e., self-transpose) matrix. Our approach has several advantages over existing methods. We discuss these differences and…

Denote by $M_n$ the set of $n\times n$ complex matrices. Let $f: M_n \rightarrow [0,\infty)$ be a continuous map such that $f(\mu UAU^*)= f(A)$ for any complex unit $\mu$, $A \in M_n$ and unitary $U \in M_n$, $f(X)=0$ if and only if $X=0$…

We consider certain functional identities on the matrix algebra $M_n$ that are defined similarly as the trace identities, except that the "coefficients" are arbitrary polynomials, not necessarily those expressible by the traces. The main…

Let $[n]=X_1\cup X_2\cup X_3$ be a partition with $\lfloor\frac{n}{3}\rfloor \leq |X_i|\leq \lceil\frac{n}{3}\rceil$ and define $\mathcal{G}=\{G\subset [n]\colon |G\cap X_i|\leq 1, 1\leq i\leq 3\}$. It is easy to check that the trace…

We present in this paper some fundamental tools for developing matrix analysis over the complex quaternion algebra. As applications, we consider generalized inverses, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, similarity, determinants of complex…

We propose a new approach to extending the notion of commutator and Lie algebra to algebras with ternary multiplication laws. Our approach is based on ternary associativity of the first and second kind. We propose a ternary commutator,…

In this talk I discuss and clarify some issues concerning chiral and nonchiral properties of the one-dimensional supermultiplets of the N-Extended Supersymmetry. Quaternionic chirality can be defined for N=4,5,6,7,8. Octonionic chirality…

We consider the primitive quaternionic reflection groups of type P for H^2 that are obtained from Blichfeldt's collineation groups for C^4.These are seen to be intimately related to the maximal set of five quaternionic mutually unbiased…

Structured canonical forms under unitary and suitable structure-preserving similarity transformations for normal and (skew-)Hamiltonian as well as normal and per(skew)-Hermitian matrices are proposed. Moreover, an algorithm for computing…
