Let $V$ be a vector space over a field $\mathbb F$ with scalar product given by a nondegenerate sesquilinear form whose matrix is diagonal in some basis. If $\mathbb F=\mathbb C$, then we give canonical matrices of isometric and selfadjoint…

First, we prove that the set of $n\times n$ complex matrices is the closure of a certain open subset whose elements have a very specific canonical form under congruence, which is uniquely determined up to the values of some parameters, but…

In this paper many classes of sets of matrices with entries in F (F=R, F=C, F=H) are introduced. Each class with the corresponding topology determines a real analytical, complex or symplectic manifold for F=R, F=C or F=H respectively. Any…

A square matrix is nonderogatory if its Jordan blocks have distinct eigenvalues. We give canonical forms (i) for nonderogatory complex matrices up to unitary similarity and (ii) for pairs of complex matrices up to similarity, in which one…

In complex vector spaces maximal sets of equiangular lines, known as SICs, are related to real quadratic number fields in a dimension dependent way. If the dimension is of the form $n^2+3$ the base field has a fundamental unit of negative…

In this survey paper we study parametric versions of writing a matrix in $SL_n (\mathbb{C})$ as a product of lower and upper unitriangular matrices in interchanging order as well as generalizations to other classical groups. We give an…

We describe the variety of fixed points of a unipotent operator acting on the space of matrices. We compute the determinant and the rank of a generic (symmetric, or anti-symmetric) matrix in the fixed variety, yielding information about the…
