Telescopes often modify the input polarization of a source so that the measured circular or linear output state of the optical signal can be signficantly different from the input. This mixing, or polarization "cross-talk", is defined by the…
In this paper nondegenerate multidimensional matrices of boundary format in $V_0 \otimes ... \otimes V_p$ are investigated by their link with Steiner vector bundles on product of projective spaces. For any nondegenerate matrix $A$ the…
The paper discusses the role played by Mueller and Jones formalisms in polarization optics, by addressing the following aspects: restriction to the SU(2) symmetry, non-relativistic Stokes 3-vectors; Cartan 2-spinors in polarization optics;…
In this note we show that certain meromorphic orthogonal modular forms are magnetic, i.e.\ their Fourier coefficients satisfy special divisibility criteria. These meromorphic orthogonal modular forms are counterparts to the orthogonal cusp…
In modular invariant models of flavor, observables must be modular invariant. The observables discussed so far in the literature are functions of the modulus $\tau$ and its conjugate, $\bar\tau$. We point out that certain combinations of…
We describe the moduli spaces of morphisms between polarized complex abelian varieties. The discrete invariants, derived from a Poincare' decomposition of morphisms, are the types of polarizations and of lattice homomorphisms occurring in…
In this paper, we study polar quotients and \L ojasiewicz exponents of plane curve singularities, which are {\em not necessarily reduced}. We first show that the polar quotients is a topological invariant. We next prove that the \L…
It is well known that a set of non-defect matrices can be simultaneously diagonalized if and only if the matrices commute. In the case of non-commuting matrices, the best that can be achieved is simultaneous block diagonalization. Here we…
We develop an abstract look at linear optical networks from the viewpoint of combinatorics and permanents. In particular we show that calculation of matrix elements of unitarily transformed photonic multi-mode states is intimately linked to…
Invariant theory is concerned with functions that do not change under the action of a given group. Here we communicate an approach based on tensor networks to represent polynomial local unitary invariants of quantum states. This graphical…
Non-commutative versions of Arveson's curvature invariant and Euler characteristic for a commuting $n$-tuple of operators are introduced. The non-commutative curvature invariant is sensitive enough to determine if an $n$-tuple is free. In…
The multivariate Meixner polynomials are shown to arise as matrix elements of unitary representations of the $SO(d,1)$ group on oscillator states. These polynomials depend on $d$ discrete variables and are orthogonal with respect to the…
Convenient parameterizations of matrices in terms of vectors transform (certain classes of) matrix equations into covariant (hence rotation-invariant) vector equations. Certain recently introduced such parameterizations are tersely…
Decomposition of (finite-dimensional) operators in terms of orthogonal bases of matrices has been a standard method in quantum physics for decades. In recent years, it has become increasingly popular because of various methodologies applied…
Various definitions of chiral observables in a given Moebius covariant two-dimensional theory are shown to be equivalent. Their representation theory in the vacuum Hilbert space of the 2D theory is studied. It shares the general…
Every diagonalmatrix D yields an endomorphism on the n-dimensional complex vectorspace. If one provides this space with Hoelder norms, we can compute the operator norm of D. We define homogeneous weighted spaces as a generalization of…
Many books on polarization give tables of Mueller matrices. Here we give a table of Mueller matrices M, coherency matrices C, and coherency matrix factors F for different polarization components. F is not given for some complicated cases.…
We prove that the stationarity and the ergodicity of a quantum source are preserved by any trace-preserving completely positive linear map of the tensor product form ${\cal E}^{\otimes m}$, where a copy of ${\cal E}$ acts locally on each…
The paper presents the classification of matrix valued superpotentials corresponding to shape invariant systems of Schr\"odinger equations. All inequivalent irreducible matrix superpotentials realized by matrices of arbitrary dimension with…
A matrix (and any associated linear system) will be referred to as structured if it has a small displacement rank. It is known that the inverse of a structured matrix is structured, which allows fast inversion (or solution), and reduced…
