A natural way to obtain a system of partial differential equations on a manifold is to vary a suitably defined sesquilinear form. The sesquilinear forms we study are Hermitian forms acting on sections of the trivial $\mathbb{C}^n$-bundle…

We devise a method that reduces the problem of classifying systems of forms and linear mappings to the problem of classifying systems of linear mappings. Canonical matrices of (i) bilinear or sesquilinear forms, (ii) pairs of symmetric,…

We develop a theory of sesquilinear forms over finite fields, investigating their representations via polynomials and coefficient matrices, along with classification results for these forms. Through their connection to quadratic forms, we…

We give a canonical form for a complex matrix, whose square is normal, under transformations of unitary similarity as well as a canonical form for a real matrix, whose square is normal, under transformations of orthogonal similarity.

The possibility of defining sesquilinear forms starting from one or two sequences of elements of a Hilbert space is investigated. One can associate operators to these forms and in particular look for conditions to apply representation…

We give canonical forms of selfadjoint and isometric operators on a complex vector space $U$ with scalar product given by a positive semidefinite Hermitian form, and of Hermitian forms on $U$. For an arbitrary system of semiunitary spaces…

We give a canonical form of matrices of a cycle of linear or semilinear mapping V_1 --- V_2 --- ... --- V_t --- V_1 in which all V_i are complex vector spaces, each line is an arrow ---> or <---, and each arrow denotes a linear or…

Docovic and Szechtman, [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 133 (2005) 2853-2863] considered a vector space V endowed with a bilinear form. They proved that all isometries of V over a field F of characteristic not 2 have determinant 1 if and only if V…

Using a part of XJC-correspondence by Pirio and Russo, we classify cubic forms $f$ whose Hessian matrices induce matrix factorizations of themselves. When it defines a reduced hypersurface, it satisfies the "secant-singularity"…

We construct and investigate certain (unbalanced) superalgebra structures on $\text{End}_K(V)$, with $K$ a field of characteristic $0$ and $V$ a finite dimensional $K$-vector space (of dimension $n\geq 2$). These structures are induced by a…

A unitary (Euclidean) representation of a quiver is given by assigning to each vertex a unitary (Euclidean) vector space and to each arrow a linear mapping of the corresponding vector spaces. We recall an algorithm for reducing the matrices…

We consider inhomogeneous supersymmetric bilinear forms, i.e., forms that are neither even nor odd. We classify such forms up to dimension seven in the case when the restrictions of the form to the even and odd parts of the superspace are…

We use representation theory to construct spaces of matrices of constant rank. These spaces are parametrized by the natural representation of the general linear group or the symplectic group. We present variants of this idea, with more…
