We study algebro-geometric properties of determinantal loci of (n+1)th symmetric matrices and also their double covers for even ranks. Their singularities, Fano indices and birational geometries are studied in general. The double covers of…

In this paper first we give a partial answer to a question of L. Moln\'ar and W. Timmermann. Namely, we will describe those linear (not necessarily bijective) transformations on the set of self-adjoint matrices which preserve a unitarily…

We obtain, using exponential quadratic sums, explicit expressions for the number of double persymmetric matrices with entries in F_2 of given rank. (A matix [a(i,j)) is persymmetric if a(i,j) = a(r,s) for i+j = r+s)

Let $n$ and $s$ be fixed integers such that $n\geq 2$ and $1\leq s\leq \frac{n}{2}$. Let $M_n(\mathbb{K})$ be the ring of all $n\times n$ matrices over a field $\mathbb{K}$. If a map $\delta:M_n(\mathbb{K})\rightarrow M_n(\mathbb{K})$…

We determine all graphs for which the adjacency matrix has at most two eigenvalues (multiplicities included) not equal to $-2$, or $0$, and determine which of these graphs are determined by their adjacency spectrum.

The condition number of a diagonally scaled matrix, for appropriately chosen scaling matrices, is often less than that of the original. Equilibration scales a matrix so that the scaled matrix's row and column norms are equal. Scaling can be…

Let $X^{(2)}$ denote the second symmetric product space of a partially ordered vector space $X$, endowed with the projective cone. A characterization of linear maps $T\colon X^{(2)}\to X^{(2)}$ which preserve the set of all positive…

Let X be a compact (resp. compact and nonsingular) real algebraic variety and let Y be a homogeneous space for some linear real algebraic group. We prove that a continuous (resp. C^infinity) map f:X-->Y can be approximated by regular maps…

A topological space is called a submetrizable if it can be mapped onto a metrizable topological space by a continuous one-to-one map. In this paper we answer two questions concerning sequence-covering maps on submetrizable spaces.

A matrix space of size $m\times n$ is a linear subspace of the linear space of $m\times n$ matrices over a field $\mathbb{F}$. The rank of a matrix space is defined as the maximal rank over matrices in this space. A matrix space…

An n\times n matrix M is called a fooling-set matrix of size n, if its diagonal entries are nonzero, whereas for every k\ne \ell we have M_{k,\ell} M_{\ell,k} = 0. Dietzfelbinger, Hromkovi\v{c}, and Schnitger (1996) showed that n \le (\rk…

By studying cohomology classes that are related with $n$-harmonic morphisms and $F$-harmonic maps, we augment and extend several results on $F$-harmonic maps, harmonic maps in [1, 3, 14], $p$-harmonic morphisms in [17], and also revisit our…

We calculate the maximal dimension of linear spaces of symmetric and hermitian matrices with given high rank, generalizing a well-known result of Adams {\em et al.}

We give a concise proof of a classification of lens spaces up to orientation-preserving homeomorphisms. The chief ingredient in our proof is a study of the Alexander polynomial of ` symmetric' links in $S^3$.

A transversal matroid $M$ of rank $r$ on $[n]$ can be associated to a family of binary matrices corresponding to different presentations of $M$. We describe those matrices which arise from unique maximal presentations of size $r$- giving a…

A new class of sign-symmetric matrices is introduced in this paper. Such matrices are named J--sign-symmetric. The spectrum of a J--sign-symmetric irreducible matrix is studied under assumptions that its second compound matrix is also…

The equaliser of a set of homomorphisms $S: F(a, b)\rightarrow F(\Delta)$ has rank at most two if $S$ contains an injective map, and is not finitely generated otherwise. This proves a strong form of Stallings' Equaliser Conjecture for the…

The perfect matching association scheme is a set of relations on the perfect matchings of the complete graph on $2n$ vertices. The relations between perfect matchings are defined by the cycle structure of the union of any two perfect…

Matrix congruence can be used to mimic linear maps between homogeneous quadratic polynomials in $n$ variables. We introduce a generalization, called standard-form congruence, which mimics affine maps between non-homogeneous quadratic…

A class of linear positive, trace preserving maps in $M_n$ is given in terms of affine maps in $\bBR^{n^2-1}$ which map the closed unit ball into itself.
