We study a matrix-based notion of matroid representation over local commutative rings obtained by replacing linear independence with modular independence. This construction always defines an independence system, though not necessarily a…
A Theorem of V.Ovsienko characterizes sequences of positive integers $(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n)$ such that the $(2\times2)$-matrix $\begin{pmatrix} a_n & -1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}\cdots \begin{pmatrix} a_1 & -1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$ is equal…
This paper is concerned with the statistical properties of the Gram matrix $\mathbf{W}=\mathbf{H}\mathbf{H}^\dagger$, where $\mathbf{H}$ is a $2\times2$ complex central Gaussian matrix whose elements have arbitrary variances. With such…
We obtain several norm and eigenvalue inequalities for positive matrices partitioned into four blocks. The results involve the numerical range of the off-diagonal block X, especially the distance from 0 to W(X).
We make progress towards characterizing the algebraic matroid of the determinantal variety defined by the minors of fixed size of a matrix of variables. Our main result is a novel family of base sets of the matroid, which characterizes the…
We show, using a hybrid analysis/linear algebra argument, that the diagonal vector of an infinite symmetric matrix over ${\mathbb Z}_2$ is contained in the range of the matrix. We apply this result to an extension, to the countable infinite…
Ideal class pairings map the rational points of rank $r\geq 1$ elliptic curves $E/\Q$ to the ideal class groups $\CL(-D)$ of certain imaginary quadratic fields. These pairings imply that $$h(-D) \geq \frac{1}{2}(c(E)-\varepsilon)(\log…
We calculate the autocorrelation functions (or shifted moments) of the characteristic polynomials of matrices drawn uniformly with respect to Haar measure from the groups U(N), O(2N) and USp(2N). In each case the result can be expressed in…
The problem is related to all-or-nothing transforms (AONT) suggested by Rivest as a preprocessing for encrypting data with a block cipher. Since then there have been various applications of AONTs in cryptography and security. D'Arco,…
We consider a discrete-time process adapted to some filtration which lives on a (typically countable) subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 2$. For this process, we assume that it has uniformly bounded jumps, is uniformly elliptic (can advance…
In this note the following is shown. Consider the quadratic form on (complex) matrices Q(A):=tr(A^2). Let A be such a matrix. Then an ellipse can be found, with the vector from center to focus determined by the value of Q at the traceless…
In this paper we show a characterization of the joint spectral radius of a set of matrices as the limit of the $p$-radius of an associated probability distribution when $p$ tends to $\infty$. Allowing the set to have infinitely many…
Given an $r\times r$ complex matrix $T$, if $T=U|T|$ is the polar decomposition of $T$, then, the Aluthge transform is defined by $$ \Delta(T)= |T|^{1/2} U |T |^{1/2}. $$ Let $\Delta^{n}(T)$ denote the n-times iterated Aluthge transform of…
We prove that the range of a symmetric matrix over F_2 contains the vector of its diagonal elements. We apply the theorem to a generalization of the "Lights Out" problem on graphs.
We enumerate the number of 0/1-matrices avoiding 2x2 submatrices satisfying certain conditions. We also provide corresponding exponential generating functions.
The eigenvalue spacing of a uniformly chosen random finite unipotent matrix in its permutation action on lines is studied. We obtain bounds for the mean number of eigenvalues lying in a fixed arc of the unit circle and offer an approach…
We use ergodic theory to prove a quantitative version of a theorem of M. A. Berger and Y. Wang, which relates the joint spectral radius of a set of matrices to the spectral radii of finite products of those matrices. The proof rests on a…
This continues the investigation of a combinatorial model for the variation of dynamics in the family of rational maps of degree two, by concentrating on those varieties in which one critical point is periodic. We prove some general results…
Let $D$ be a bounded convex domain in $\mathbb{C}$ with a regular analytic boundary. Suppose that the numerical range $W(A)$ of a bounded linear operator $A$ is contained in $\overline{D}$. If $\overline{W(A)}$ intersects the boundary…
In this article, we are going to introduce the weighted numerical range which is a further generalization both the c-numerical range and the rank k numerical range. If the boundaries of weighted numerical ranges of two matrices (possibly of…
