Recently normalized Laplacian matrices of graphs are studied as density matrices in quantum mechanics. Separability and entanglement of density matrices are important properties as they determine the nonclassical behavior in quantum…

A result of A. Joseph says that any nilpotent or semisimple element $z$ in the Weyl algebra $A_1$ over some algebracally closed field $K$ of characterstic 0 has a normal form up to the action of the automorphism group of $A_1$. It is shown…

The equivalence group is determined for systems of linear ordinary differential equations in both the standard form and the normal form. It is then shown that the normal form of linear systems reducible by an invertible point transformation…

An arbitrary Mueller matrix can be decomposed into a sum of up to four deterministic Mueller-Jones matrices, with strengths given by the eigenvalues of an associated Hermitian matrix. A geometrical representation of the eigenvalues in terms…

We describe a standard form for the elements in the universal field of fractions of free associative algebras (over a commutative field). It is a special version of the normal form provided by Cohn and Reutenauer and enables the use of…

An algorithm is given to compute a normal form for hyperelliptic curves. The elliptic case has been treated in a previous paper. In this paper the hyperelliptic case is treated.

We study linear spaces of symmetric matrices whose reciprocal is also a linear space. These are Jordan algebras. We classify such algebras in low dimensions, and we study the associated Jordan loci in the Grassmannian.

For any odd prime $p$ we consider representations of a group of order $p$ in the symplectic group $Sp(p-1,Z[1/n])$ of $(p-1)\times(p-1)$-matrices over the ring $Z[1/n]$, $0\neq n\in N$. We construct a relation between the conjugacy classes…

V. I. Arnold [Russian Math. Surveys 26, no. 2, 1971, 29-43] constructed smooth generic families of matrices with respect to similarity transformations depending smoothly on the entries of matrices and got bifurcation diagrams of such…

In this note we investigate the existence of flat orthogonal matrices, i.e. real orthogonal matrices with all entries having absolute value close to $\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$. Entries of $\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$ correspond to Hadamard matrices,…

Particular class of skew orthogonal polynomials are introduced and investigated, which possess Laurent symmetry. They are also shown to appear as eigenfunctions of symplectic generalized eigenvalue problems. The modification of these…

The concept of centrally symmetric configurations of integer matrices is introduced. We study the problem when the toric ring of a centrally symmetric configuration is normal as well as is Gorenstein. In addition, Gr\"obner bases of toric…

We construct a resonant normal form for an area-preserving map near a generic resonant elliptic fixed point. The normal form is obtained by a simplification of a formal interpolating Hamiltonian. The resonant normal form is unique and…

We apply the quaternionic Jordan form to classify the hypercomplex nilpotent almost abelian Lie algebras in all dimensions and to carry out the complete classification of 12-dimensional hypercomplex almost abelian Lie algebras. Moreover, we…

Each simplicial complex and integer vector yields a vector configuration whose combinatorial properties are important for the analysis of contingency tables. We study the normality of these vector configurations including a description of…

Let (M,\omega) be a symplectic manifold, and Sigma a compact Riemann surface. We define a 2-form on the space of immersed symplectic surfaces in M, and show that the form is closed and non-degenerate, up to reparametrizations. Then we give…

A real symmetric matrix $M$ is completely positive semidefinite if it admits a Gram representation by (Hermitian) positive semidefinite matrices of any size $d$. The smallest such $d$ is called the (complex) completely positive semidefinite…

The exceptional Jordan algebra is the algebra of $3\times 3$ Hermitian matrices with octonionic entries. It is the only one from Jordan's algebraic formulation of quantum mechanics which is not equivalent to the conventional formulation of…

Invariant subspaces of a matrix $A$ are considered which are obtained by truncation of a Jordan basis of a generalized eigenspace of $A$. We characterize those subspaces which are independent of the choice of the Jordan basis. An…

This note documents the specification of normal forms in cubical type theory. The definition is already present in the proof of normalization for cubical type theory, but we present it in a more traditional style explicitly for reference.
