We study Hermitian non-commutative quadratic polynomials of multiple independent Wigner matrices. We prove that, with the exception of some specific reducible cases, the limiting spectral density of the polynomials always has a square root…
We give canonical matrices of a pair (A,B) consisting of a nondegenerate form B and a linear operator A satisfying B(Ax,Ay)=B(x,y) on a vector space over F in the following cases: (i) F is an algebraically closed field of characteristic…
We consider the smallest eigenvalues of perturbed Hermitian operators with zero modes, either topological or system specific. To leading order for small generic perturbation we show that the corresponding eigenvalues broaden to a Gaussian…
We give an almost-complete description of orthogonal matrices $M$ of order $n$ that "rotate a non-negligible fraction of the Boolean hypercube $C_n=\{-1,1\}^n$ onto itself," in the sense that $$P_{x\in C_n}(Mx\in C_n) \ge n^{-C},\mbox{ for…
In the present work we show that the joint probability distribution of the eigenvalues can be expressed in terms of a differential operator acting on the distribution of some other matrix quantities. Those quantities might be the diagonal…
The main goal of this paper is to discuss the recent advancements of operator means for accretive matrices in a more general setting. In particular, we present the general form governing the well established definition of geometric mean,…
A common optimization problem is the minimization of a symmetric positive definite quadratic form $< x,Tx >$ under linear constrains. The solution to this problem may be given using the Moore-Penrose inverse matrix. In this work we extend…
We show that similarity (or equivalent) transformations enable one to construct non-Hermitian operators with real spectrum. In this way we can also prove and generalize the results obtained by other authors by means of a gauge-like…
An orthoset is a set equipped with a symmetric, irreflexive binary relation. With any (anisotropic) Hermitian space $H$, we may associate the orthoset $(P(H),\perp)$, consisting of the set of one-dimensional subspaces of $H$ and the usual…
The paper develops elementary linear algebra methods to compute the determinants of the tensor symmetrizations of quadratic and hermitian forms over fields of good characteristic. Explicit results are given for the partitions $(n)$,…
Here we consider the image of the principal minor map of symmetric matrices over an arbitrary unique factorization domain $R$. By exploiting a connection with symmetric determinantal representations, we characterize the image of the…
We review our recent results on pseudo-hermitian random matrix theory which were hitherto presented in various conferences and talks. (Detailed accounts of our work will appear soon in separate publications.) Following an introduction of…
Let $M$ be the $n$-square matrix partitioned into $\ell^2$ blocks $b_{ij}$ according to some partition $P=\{C_{1},\dots,C_{\ell}\}$ of index set $\{1,\dots,n\}$. The quotient matrix $Q=(q_{ij})$ is a $k$-square matrix, with $\ell \leq k…
General, especially spectral, features of compact normal operators in quaternionic Hilbert spaces are studied and some results are established which generalize well-known properties of compact normal operators in complex Hilbert spaces.…
We derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for the simple eigenvalues of rational matrix functions with symmetry structure to have the same normwise condition number with respect to arbitrary and structure-preserving perturbations.…
We construct six multi-parameter families of Hermitian quasi-exactly solvable matrix Schroedinger operators in one variable. The method for finding these operators relies heavily upon a special representation of the Lie algebra o(2,2) whose…
We take a first small step to extend the validity of Rudelson-Vershynin type estimates to some sparse random matrices, here random permutation matrices. We give lower (and upper) bounds on the smallest singular value of a large random…
We study the Rayleigh quotient of a Hermitian matrix with quaternionic coefficients and prove its main properties. As an application, we give some relationships between left and right eigenvalues of Hermitian and symplectic matrices.
In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic spectrum of complex or real Deformed Wigner matrices $(M_N)_N$ defined by $M_N=W_N/\sqrt{N}+A_N$ where $W_N$ is an $N\times N$ Hermitian (resp., symmetric) Wigner matrix whose entries have a…
