This paper solves the following problem about Hermitian matrices related to the theory of $2$-structures:\emph{ }Let $n$ be a positive integer and $k$ be an integer with $k\in \{3,\ldots,n-3\}$. Characterize the Hermitian matrices $A$ such…
A new reorthogonalized block classical Gram--Schmidt algorithm is proposed that factorizes a full column rank matrix $A$ into $A=QR$ where $Q$ is left orthogonal (has orthonormal columns) and $R$ is upper triangular and nonsingular. With…
We provide a computational framework for approximating a class of structured matrices; here, the term structure is very general, and may refer to a regular sparsity pattern (e.g., block-banded), or be more highly structured (e.g., symmetric…
If $L$ is a semisimple Lie algebra of vector fields on R^N with a split Cartan subalgebra C, then it is proved that the dimension of the generic orbit of C coincides with the dimension of C. As a consequence one obtains a local canonical…
Given a set of alternatives to be ranked, and some pairwise comparison data, ranking is a least squares computation on a graph. The vertices are the alternatives, and the edge values comprise the comparison data. The basic idea is very…
We study the asymptotic rank of adjacency matrices of a large class of edge-weighted configuration models. Here, the weight of a (multi-)edge can be any fixed non-zero element from an arbitrary field, as long as it is independent of the…
Representations of vertex operator algebras define sheaves of coinvariants and conformal blocks on moduli of stable pointed curves. Assuming certain finiteness and semisimplicity conditions, we prove that such sheaves satisfy the…
We determine some properties of the narrow 2-class field tower of those real quadratic number fields whose discriminants are not a sum of two squares and for which their 2-class groups are elementary of order $4$. Here in Part I, we…
We construct bases of the simple modules for partition algebras which are indexed by paths in an alcove geometry. This allows us to give a concrete interpretation (and new proof) of the monotone convergence property for Kronecker…
We study the problem of low-rank matrix completion for symmetric matrices. The minimum rank of a completion of a generic partially specified symmetric matrix depends only on the location of the specified entries, and not their values, if…
The nonnegative integer rank of a matrix is a variant of the classical nonnegative rank, introduced in the 1980s, where factorizations are required to have integer entries. While computing nonnegative integer rank is generally very hard, we…
In 2010, Cassidy and Vancliff extended the notion of a quadratic form on n generators to the noncommutative setting. In this article, we suggest a notion of rank for such noncommutative quadratic forms, where n = 2 or 3. Since writing an…
In 1882, Kronecker established that a given univariate formal Laurent series over a field can be expressed as a fraction of two univariate polynomials if and only if the coefficients of the series satisfy a linear recurrence relation. We…
The paper provides a study of pseudo MV-algebras with square roots. We introduce different notions of a square root on a pseudo MV-algebra, and present their main properties. We show that the class of pseudo-MV-algebras with square roots is…
Many questions in number theory concern the nonvanishing of determinants of square matrices of logarithms (complex or p-adic) of algebraic numbers. We present a new conjecture that states that if such a matrix has vanishing determinant,…
In this paper, we give a survey of the known results concerning the tensor rank of the multiplication in finite extensions of finite fields, enriched with some not published recent results as well as analyzes enhancing the qualitative…
We study a graded vector space of polynomials associated to a square matrix, defined by a finite difference condition along the rows. We show this space coincides with one defined by directional derivatives, and prove it is…
We will show that the roots of a polynomial equation in one variable of degree n are related to the solutions of a symmetric quadratic form in n-1 variables with constant positive integer coefficients. The classic polynomial notation will…
Let $ {\mathbf k} $ be a field and $Q\in {\mathbf k}[x_1, \ldots, x_s]$ a form (homogeneous polynomial) of degree $d>1.$ The ${\mathbf k}$-Schmidt rank $rk_{\mathbf k}(Q)$ of $Q$ is the minimal $r$ such that $Q= \sum_{i=1}^r R_iS_i$ with…
Let $\mathscr{L}$ denote the $\mathbf{Q}$-vector space of logarithms of algebraic numbers. In this expository work, we provide an introduction to the study of ranks of matrices with coefficients in $\mathscr{L}$. We begin by considering a…
