The Kalman variety of a linear subspace in a vector space consists of all endomorphism that possess an eigenvector in that subspace. We study the defining polynomials and basic geometric invariants of the Kalman variety.
Given a subspace L of a vector space V, the Kalman variety consists of all matrices of V that have a nonzero eigenvector in L. Ottaviani and Sturmfels described minimal equations in the case that dim L = 2 and conjectured minimal equations…
We study the locus of square matrices having at least one eigenvector on a prescribed algebraic variety $X$. When $X$ is a linear subspace, this data locus is known as the Kalman variety of $X$ and was studied first by Ottaviani and…
The first author with B. Sturmfels studied the variety of matrices with eigenvectors in a given linear subspace, called Kalman variety. We extend that study from matrices to symmetric tensors, proving in the tensor setting the…
Kalman varieties of tensors are algebraic varieties consisting of tensors whose singular vector $k$-tuples lay on prescribed subvarieties. They were first studied by Ottaviani and Sturmfels in the context of matrices. We extend recent…
In this short note, we give a new sufficient condition for a linear map from a product of copies of a field to endomorphisms of a finite dimensional vector space over the same field to be an algebra homomorphism. We expect that this result…
A variety is a class of algebraic structures axiomatized by a set of equations. An equation is linear if there is at most one occurrence of an operation symbol on each side. We show that a variety axiomatized by linear equations has the…

In this paper we study the field of definition of abelian subvarieties $B\subset A_{\overline{K}}$ for an abelian variety $A$ over a field $K$ of characteristic $0$. We show that, provided that no isotypic component of $A_{\overline{K}}$ is…
A subspace $X$ of a vector space over a field $K$ is hyperinvariant with respect to an endomorphism $f$ of $V$ if it is invariant for all endomorphisms of $V$ that commute with $f$. We assume that $f$ is locally nilpotent, that is, every $…
Given a homogeneous component of an exterior algebra, we characterize those subspaces in which every nonzero element is decomposable. In geometric terms, this corresponds to characterizing the projective linear subvarieties of the Grassmann…
The Grassmannian of affine subspaces is a natural generalization of both the Euclidean space, points being zero-dimensional affine subspaces, and the usual Grassmannian, linear subspaces being special cases of affine subspaces. We show…
The aim of this work is to offer a solution to the problem of the classification of endomorphisms with an annihilating polynomial on arbitrary vector spaces. For these endomorphisms we provide a family of invariants that allows us to…
We define varieties of algebras for an arbitrary endofunctor on a cocomplete category using pairs of natural transformations. This approach is proved to be equivalent to the one of equational classes defined by equation arrows. Free…

Let K be an arbitrary (commutative) field and L be an algebraic closure of it. Let V be a linear subspace of M_n(K), with n>2. We show that if every matrix of V has at most one eigenvalue in K, then dim V<=1+n(n-1)/2. If every matrix of V…
A vector space is commonly defined as a set that satisfies several conditions related to addition and scalar multiplication. However, for beginners, it may be hard to immediately grasp the essence of these conditions. There are probably a…
