A classical linear group $G<GL(n)$ acts on $d$-tuples of $n\times n$ matrices by simultaneous conjugation. Working over an infinite field of characteristic different from two we establish that the ideal of free relations, i.e. relations…

Consider a tuple $(Y_1,\dots,Y_d)$ of normal operators in a tracial operator algebra setting with prescribed sizes of the eigenspaces for each $Y_i$. We address the question what one can say about the sizes of the eigenspaces for any…

We study several variants of decomposing a symmetric matrix into a sum of a low-rank positive semidefinite matrix and a diagonal matrix. Such decompositions have applications in factor analysis and they have been studied for many decades.…

For a rational matrix function R of one variable in general position, the matrix functions R(x)/R(y) and R(y)\R(x) of two variables are considered. For these matrix functions of two variables, representations which are analogous to the…

In this paper, we investigate the componentwise linearity and the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of symbolic powers of polymatroidal ideals. For a polymatroidal ideal $I$, we conjecture that every symbolic power $I^{(k)}$ is componentwise…

We define eventually symmetric functions to be those power series of bounded degree in infinitely many variables that are invariant under interchanging all the variables with large enough indices. We show how this ring $\tilde{\Lambda}$ is…

Makar-Limanov's conjecture states that if a division ring D is finitely generated and infinite dimensional over its center k then D contains a free k-subalgebra of rank 2. In this work, we will investigate the existence of such structures…

Let F_{n+m} be the free group of rank n+m, with generators x_1,...,x_{n+m}. An automorphism \phi of F_{n+m} is called partially symmetric if for each 1 \le i \le m, \phi(x_i) is conjugate to x_j or x_j^{-1} for some 1 \le j \le m. Let…

We introduce a basis of rational polynomial-like functions $P_0,\ldots,P_{n-1}$ for the free module of functions $Z/nZ\to Z/mZ$. We then characterize the subfamily of congruence preserving functions as the set of linear combinations of the…

A rational matrix is a matrix-valued function $R(\lambda): \mathbb{C} \rightarrow M_p$ such that $R(\lambda) = \begin{bmatrix} r_{ij}(\lambda) \end{bmatrix}_{p\times p}$, where $r_{ij}(\lambda)$ are scalar complex rational functions in…

We show that Csanky's fast parallel algorithm for computing the characteristic polynomial of a matrix can be formalized in the logical theory LAP, and can be proved correct in LAP from the principle of linear independence. LAP is a natural…
