Let $\mathbb V$ be an arbitrary linear space and $f:\mathbb V \times \ldots \times \mathbb V \to \mathbb V$ an $n$-linear map. It is proved that, for each choice of a basis ${\mathcal B}$ of $\mathbb V$, the $n$-linear map $f$ induces a…

A digraph $D$ with a subset $S$ of $V(D)$ is called $\boldsymbol{S}${\bf -strong} if for every pair of distinct vertices $u$ and $v$ of $S$, there is a $(u, v)$-dipath and a $(v, u)$-dipath in $D$. We define a digraph $D$ with a subset $S$…

We consider pairs of operators $A,B\in B(H)$, where $H$ is a Hilbert space, such that there exist a linear isometry $f$ from the span of $\{A,B\}$ into $\mathbb{C}^2$ mapping $A,B$ into orthonormal vectors. We prove some necessary…

We introduce the concept of bi-conformal transformation, as a generalization of conformal ones, by allowing two orthogonal parts of a manifold with metric $\G$ to be scaled by different conformal factors. In particular, we study their…

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…

Let $n,n'$ be positive integers and let $V$ be an $(n+n')$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$ equipped with a non-degenerate alternating, hermitian or quadratic form. We estimate the proportion of pairs $(U, U')$,…

In a triangulated symmetric monoidal closed category, there are natural dualities induced by the internal Hom. Given a monoidal functor f^* between two such catgories and adjoint couples (f^*,f_*) and (f_*,f^!), we prove the necessary…

Let $f:V\times V\to F$ be a totally arbitrary bilinear form defined on a finite dimensional vector space $V$ over a a field $F$, and let $L(f)$ be the subalgebra of $\gl(V)$ of all skew-adjoint endomorphisms relative to $f$. Provided $F$ is…

Let $\Theta=(\theta_{j,k})_{3\times 3}$ be a non-degenerate real skew-symmetric $3\times 3$ matrix, where $\theta_{j,k}\in [0,1).$ For any $\varepsilon>0$, we prove that there exists $\delta>0$ satisfying the following: if $v_1,v_2,v_3$ are…

We consider spectra of $n$-by-$n$ irreducible tridiagonal matrices over a field and of their $n-1$-by-$n-1$ trailing principal submatrices. The real symmetric and complex Hermitian cases have been fully understood: it is necessary and…

A commutative associative algebra A with an identity over the field of real numbers which has a basis, where all elements are invertible, is considered in the work. Moreover, among matrixes consisting of the structure constants of A, there…

This paper is about three classes of objects: Leonard pairs, Leonard triples, and the finite-dimensional irreducible modules for an algebra $\mathcal{A}$. Let $\K$ denote an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $V$ denote…

A linear map $\Phi$ between matrix spaces is called cross-positive if it is positive on orthogonal pairs $(U,V)$ of positive semidefinite matrices in the sense that $\langle U,V\rangle:=\text{Tr}(UV)=0$ implies $\langle…

The intersection index at a common point of two analytic varieties of complementary dimensions in $\Bbb C^n$ is positive. This observation, which has been called a ``cornerstone'' of algebraic geometry ([GH, p.~62]), is a simple consequence…

A digraph $D=(V, A)$ has a good pair at a vertex $r$ if $D$ has a pair of arc-disjoint in- and out-branchings rooted at $r$. Let $T$ be a digraph with $t$ vertices $u_1,\dots , u_t$ and let $H_1,\dots H_t$ be digraphs such that $H_i$ has…

A digraph is strongly connected if it has a directed path from $x$ to $y$ for every ordered pair of distinct vertices $x, y$ and it is strongly $k$-connected if it has at least $k+1$ vertices and remains strongly connected when we delete…

We prove a version of Schur--Weyl duality over finite fields. We prove that for any field $k$, if $k$ has at least $r+1$ elements, then Schur--Weyl duality holds for the $r$th tensor power of a finite dimensional vector space $V$. Moreover,…

In the homomorphism order of digraphs, a duality pair is an ordered pair of digraphs $(G,H)$ such that for any digraph, $D$, $G\to D$ if and only if $D\not\to H$. The directed path on $k+1$ vertices together with the transitive tournament…

Take a holomorphic Lie algebroid $(V,\phi)$ over a rationally connected smooth complex projective variety $X$. We show that, under certain conditions, a vector bundle $E$ over $X$ admits a $(V,\phi)$-connection if and only if $E$ is…
