We introduce two equations expressing the inverse determinant of a full rank matrix $\mathbf{A} \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ in terms of expectations over matrix-vector products. The first relationship is $|\mathrm{det} (\mathbf{A})|^{-1} =…
Gauss and Dedekind have shown a bijection between the set of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$-equivalence classes of primitive positive definite binary quadratic $\mathbb{Z}$-forms of the discriminant of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{\Delta<0})$ and the…
Algebras generated by strictly positive matrices are described up to similarity, including the commutative, simple, and semisimple cases. We provide sufficient conditions for some block diagonal matrix algebras to be generated by a set of…
We show that the set of maximal lower bounds of two symmetric matrices with respect to the L\"owner order can be identified to the quotient set $O(p,q)/(O(p)\times O(q))$. Here, $(p,q)$ denotes the inertia of the difference of the two…
We give two examples of algebras of differential operators associated to families of matrix valued orthogonal polynomials arising from representations of SU$(N+1)$. The first one gives a commutative algebra and the second one a…
The paper is devoted to representation theoretic and algebraic geometric aspects of the theory of orthogonal decompositions of Lie algebra sl(n) into Cartan subalgebras orthogonal with respect to Killing form and the relevant theory of…
We give some very interesting matrices which are orthogonal over groups and, as far as we know, referenced, but in fact undocumented. This note is not intended to be published but available for archival reasons.
Let $M$ be a T-motive. We introduce the notion of duality for $M$. Main results of the paper (we consider uniformizable $M$ over $F_q[T]$ of rank $r$, dimension $n$, whose nilpotent operator $N$ is 0): 1. Algebraic duality implies analytic…
Motivated by the study of polytopes formed as the convex hull of permutation matrices and alternating sign matrices, we define several new families of polytopes as convex hulls of sign matrices, which are certain {0,1,-1}-matrices in…
Orthogonal sets of idempotents are used to design sets of unitary matrices, known as constellations, such that the modulus of the determinant of the difference of any two distinct elements is greater than $0$. It is shown that unitary…
L.Huang [Linear Algebra Appl. 331 (2001) 21-30] gave a canonical form of a quaternion matrix $A$ with respect to consimilarity transformations $\tilde{S}^{-1}AS$ in which $S$ is a nonsingular quaternion matrix and $\tilde{h}:=a-bi+cj-dk$…
C.M. Bender and G. V. Dunne showed that linear combinations of words $q^{k}p^{n}q^{n-k}$, where $p$ and $q$ are subject to the relation $qp - pq = \imath$, may be expressed as a polynomial in the symbol $z = \tfrac{1}{2}(qp+pq)$. Relations…
We construct explicit (i.e., non-random) examples of Salem sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$ of dimension $s$ for every $0 \leq s \leq 2$. In particular, we give the first explicit examples of Salem sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$ of dimension $0 < s < 1$.…
We investigate the signed support, that is, the set of the exponent vectors and the signs of the coefficients, of a multivariate polynomial $f$. We describe conditions on the signed support ensuring that the semi-algebraic set, denoted as…
We study which signs can occur among Hamiltonian circles in simple plane signed graphs. Using a face-based viewpoint, we relate the sign of a Hamiltonian circle to the product of the signs of the faces inside it, and we introduce…
We characterize which systems of sign vectors are the cocircuits of an oriented matroid in terms of the cocircuit graph.
In this note we prove that: \begin{theorem} for $2\leq s<\frac{n}{2}$ or $1\leq s<\frac{2n}{n+1}$ or $1\leq s<\frac{n}{2}$ but n is even, $(-\Delta)^{s}(u)=|u|^{q-2}u,q=\frac{2n}{n-2s}$ has infinitely many sign changing solutions or…
We determine the structure of linear maps on complex (real) square matrices sending unitary (orthogonal) matrices to multiples of unitary (orthogonal) matrices. The result is used to determine the linear preservers of matrix pairs…
Following Verde-Star, Linear Algebra Appl. 627 (2021), we label families of orthogonal polynomials in the $q=1$ Askey scheme together with their hypergeometric representations by three sequences $x_k, h_k, g_k$ of polynomials in $k$, two of…
After a short introduction to anti-linearity, bounds for the number of orthogonal (skew) conjugations are proved. They are saturated if the dimension of the Hilbert space is a power of two. For the other dimensions this is an open problem.
