For any n-by-n complex matrix T and any $1\leqslant k\leqslant n$, let $\Lambda_{k}(T)$ the set of all $\lambda\in \C$ such that $PTP=\lambda P$ for some rank-k orthogonal projection $P$ be its higher rank-k numerical range. It is shown…

The triangle of sorted binomial coefficients $\left\langle {n \atop k} \right\rangle = \binom{n}{\lfloor \frac{n - k}{2} \rfloor}$ for $0 \leq k \leq n$ has appeared several times in recent combinatorial works but has evaded dedicated…

We prove that the (hermitian) rank of $QP^d$ is bounded from below by the rank of $P^d$ whenever $Q$ is not identically zero and real-analytic in a neighborhood of some point on the zero set of $P$ in $\mathbb{C}^n$ and $P$ is a polynomial…

This paper solves the two-sided version and provides a counterexample to the general version of the 2003 conjecture by Hadwin and Larson. Consider evaluations of linear matrix pencils $L=T_0+x_1T_1+\cdots+x_mT_m$ on matrix tuples as…

We show that for a given set $\Lambda$ of $nk$ distinct real numbers $\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \ldots, \lambda_{nk}$ and $k$ graphs on $n$ nodes, $G_0, G_1,\ldots,G_{k-1}$, there are real symmetric $n\times n$ matrices $A_s$, $s=0,1,\ldots,…

There has been significant interest in studying the asymptotics of certain generalised moments, called the moments of moments, of characteristic polynomials of random Haar-distributed unitary and symplectic matrices, as the matrix size $N$…

The higher rank numerical ranges of generic matrices are described in terms of the components of their Kippenhahn curves. Cases of tridiagonal (in particular, reciprocal) 2-periodic matrices are treated in more detail.

We prove a higher-rank analogue of a well-known result of W. M. Schmidt concerning almost everywhere pointwise discrepancy bounds for lattices in Euclidean space (see Theorem 1 [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 95 (1960), 516-529]). We also…

Let $K$ be a number field, let $A$ be a finite-dimensional $K$-algebra, let $\mathrm{J}(A)$ denote the Jacobson radical of $A$, and let $\Lambda$ be an $\mathcal{O}_{K}$-order in $A$. Suppose that each simple component of the semisimple…

We use category-theoretic techniques to provide two proofs showing that for a higher-rank graph $\Lambda$, its cubical (co-)homology and categorical (co-)homology groups are isomorphic in all degrees, thus answering a question of Kumjian,…

If \A is a complex hyperplane arrangement, with complement X, we show that the Chen ranks of G=\pi_1(X) are equal to the graded Betti numbers of the linear strand in a minimal, free resolution of the cohomology ring A=H^*(X,\k), viewed as a…

A number $\lambda \in \mathbb C $ is called an {\it eigenvalue} of the matrix polynomial $P(z)$ if there exists a nonzero vector $x \in \mathbb C^n$ such that $P(\lambda)x = 0$. Note that each finite eigenvalue of $P(z)$ is a zero of the…

We use tools of additive combinatorics for the study of subvarieties defined by {\it high rank} families of polynomials in high dimensional $\mathbb{F} _q$-vector spaces. In the first, analytic part of the paper we prove a number properties…

Let $A$ and $B$ designate $n\times n$ matrices with coefficients in a field $F$. In this paper, we completely answer the following question: For $A$ fixed, what are the possible characteristic polynomials of $A+B$, where $B$ ranges over…

Let $r$ and $n$ be positive integers such that $r<n$, and $\mathbb{K}$ be an arbitrary field. In a recent work, we have determined the maximal dimension for a linear subspace of $n$ by $n$ symmetric matrices with rank less than or equal to…

In the paper, we first classify all polynomial maps of the form $H=(u(x,y,z),v(x,y,z), h(x,y))$ in the case that $JH$ is nilpotent and $\deg_zv\leq 1$. After that, we generalize the structure of $H$ to…

We make two observations regarding the invertibility of Keller maps. i.e., polynomial maps for which the determinant of their Jacobian matrix is identically equal to 1. In our first result, we show that if P is a n-dimensional Keller map,…

We study algebraic properties of full rank 1 algebras in a general framework and derive a method to verify if one such matrix polynomial sub-algebra is bispectral. We give two examples illustrating the method. In the first one, we consider…

Let $k\leq n$. Each polynomial $p\in\oR[x_1,...,x_n]$ can be uniquely written as $p=\sum_{\mu}\mu p_{\mu}$, where $\mu$ ranges over the set $M$ of all monomials in $\oR[x_1,...,x_k]$ and where $p_{\mu}\in\oR[x_{k+1},...,x_n]$. If $p$ is…
