We completely characterize the higher rank numerical range of the matrices of the form $J_n(\alpha)\oplus\beta I_m$, where $J_n(\alpha)$ is the $n\times n$ Jordan block with eigenvalue $\alpha$. Our characterization allows us to obtain…

For each certain "nice" piecewise linear function $f:[0,1] \to [0,1]$, we consider a family of growing Young diagrams $\{\lambda(f,N)\}_{N=1}^{\infty}$ by enlarging the region under the graph of $f$. We compute asymptotic formulas for the…

Using matrix function theory, Perron-Frobenius theory, combinatorial matrix theory, and elementary number theory, we characterize, classify, and describe in terms of the Jordan canonical form the matrix pth-roots of imprimitive irreducible…

In this article we prove that the elliptic, hyperbolic and nilpotent (or unipotent) additive (or multiplicative) Jordan components of an endomorphism $X$ (or an isomorphism $g$) of a finite dimensional vector space are given by polynomials…

Let $J_r$ denote an $r\times r$ matrix over a finite field $F$ with minimal and characteristic polynomials $(t-1)^r$. Suppose $r\leq s$. It is not hard to show that the Jordan canonical form of $J_r\otimes J_s$ is similar to…

In this paper we characterize all nilpotent orbits under the action by conjugation that intersect the nilpotent centralizer of a nilpotent matrix $B$ consisting of two Jordan blocks of the same size. We list all the possible Jordan…

Let $K$ be a field (finite or infinite) of char$(K)\neq 2$ and let $UT_n=UT_n(K)$ be the $n\times n$ upper triangular matrix algebra over $K$. If $\cdot $ is the usual product on $UT_n$ then with the new product $a\circ b=(1/2)(a\cdot b…

Determining the Jordan canonical form of the tensor product of Jordan blocks has many applications including to the representation theory of algebraic groups, and to tilting modules. Although there are several algorithms for computing this…

We significantly strengthen results on the structure of matrix rings over finite fields and apply them to describe the structure of the so-called weakly $n$-torsion clean rings. Specifically, we establish that, for any field $F$ with either…

In this paper we completely characterize all possible pairs of Jordan canonical forms for mutually annihilating nilpotent pairs, i.e. pairs $(A,B)$ of nilpotent matrices such that $AB=BA=0$.

Let $M_n(R)$ be the algebra of all $n\times n$ matrices over a unital commutative ring $R$ with 6 invertible. We say that $A\in M_n(R)$ is a Jordan product determined point if for every $R$-module $X$ and every symmetric $R$-bilinear map…

The classification, up to isomorphism, of two-dimensional (not necessarily commutative) Jordan algebras over algebraically closed fields and $\mathbb{R}$ is presented in terms of their matrices of structure constants.

Let $B$ be a nilpotent matrix and suppose that its Jordan canonical form is determined by a partition $\lambda$. Then it is known that its nilpotent commutator $N_B$ is an irreducible variety and that there is a unique partition $\mu$ such…

A square matrix is nonderogatory if its Jordan blocks have distinct eigenvalues. We give canonical forms (i) for nonderogatory complex matrices up to unitary similarity and (ii) for pairs of complex matrices up to similarity, in which one…

This work concerns in part the construction of conformal Jordan cells of infinite rank and their reductions to conformal Jordan cells of finite rank. It is also discussed how a procedure similar to Lie algebra contractions may reduce a…

In this paper, we present a determinist Jordan normal form algorithms based on the Fadeev formula: \[(\lambda \cdot I-A) \cdot B(\lambda)=P(\lambda) \cdot I\] where $B(\lambda)$ is $(\lambda \cdot I-A)$'s comatrix and $P(\lambda)$ is $A$'s…

Let J and J' be Jordan rings. We prove under some conditions that if J contains a nontrivial idempotent, then n-multiplicative maps and n-multiplicative derivations from J to J' are additive maps.

In this paper, we find an explicit combinatorial criterion for the existence of a nonzero GL_{n-1}(K)-high weight vector of weight (\lambda_1,...,\lambda_{i-1},\lambda_i-d,\lambda_{i+1},..., \lambda_{n-1}), where d<char K and K is an…
