We provide a formula for the Ehrhart polynomial of the connected matroid of size $n$ and rank $k$ with the least number of bases, also known as a minimal matroid. We prove that their polytopes are Ehrhart positive and $h^*$-real-rooted (and…
A trade in a complex Hadamard matrix is a set of entries which can be changed to obtain a different complex Hadamard matrix. We show that in a real Hadamard matrix of order $n$ all trades contain at least $n$ entries. We call a trade…
We consider spectra of $n$-by-$n$ irreducible tridiagonal matrices over a field and of their $n-1$-by-$n-1$ trailing principal submatrices. The real symmetric and complex Hermitian cases have been fully understood: it is necessary and…
Two submatrices $A,D$ of a Hadamard matrix $H$ are called complementary if, up to a permutation of rows and columns, $H=[^A_C{\ }^B_D]$. We find here an explicit formula for the polar decomposition of $D$. As an application, we show that…
We introduce qustochastic matrices as the bistochastic matrices arising from quaternionic unitary matrices by replacing each entry with the square of its norm. This is the quaternionic analogue of the unistochastic matrices studied by…
We construct a series HMT$(n)$ of $2$-dimensional simplicial complexes with torsion $H_1($HMT$(n))=(\mathbb{Z}_2)^{{k}\choose{1}} \times (\mathbb{Z}_4)^{{k}\choose{2}} \times \cdots \times (\mathbb{Z}_{2^k})^{{k}\choose{k}}$,…
In this note we investigate the existence of flat orthogonal matrices, i.e. real orthogonal matrices with all entries having absolute value close to $\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$. Entries of $\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$ correspond to Hadamard matrices,…
In a previous paper we completely described cyclotomic matrices--integer symmetric matrices of spectral radius at most 2. In this paper we find all minimal noncyclotomic matrices. As a consequence, we are able to determine all integer…
We prove that for any circle graph $H$ with at least one edge and for any positive integer $k$, there exists an integer $t=t(k,H)$ so that every graph $G$ either has a vertex-minor isomorphic to the disjoint union of $k$ copies of $H$, or…
We study n by n symmetric random matrices H, possibly discrete, with iid above-diagonal entries. We show that H is singular with probability at most exp(-n^c), and the spectral norm of the inverse of H is O(sqrt{n}). Furthermore, the…
A Hadamard matrix is balanced splittable if some subset of its rows has the property that the dot product of every two distinct columns takes at most two values. This definition was introduced by Kharaghani and Suda in 2019, although…
We present a preliminary study of Schur norms $\|M\|_{S}=\max\{ \|M\circ C\|: \|C\|=1\}$, where M is a matrix whose entries are $\pm1$, and $\circ$ denotes the entrywise (i.e., Schur or Hadamard) product of the matrices. We show that, if…
This paper presents sufficient conditions for Hamiltonian paths and cycles in graphs. Letting $\lambda\left( G\right) $ denote the spectral radius of the adjacency matrix of a graph $G,$ the main results of the paper are: (1) Let $k\geq1,$…
Given a diagonalizable $N\times N$ matrix $H$, whose non-degenerate spectrum consists of $p$ pairs of complex conjugate eigenvalues and additional $N-2p$ real eigenvalues, we determine all metrics $M$, of all possible signatures, with…
A famous result of Horn and Fitzgerald is that the $\beta$-th Hadamard power of any $n\times n$ positive semi-definite (p.s.d) matrix with non-negative entries is p.s.d $\forall \beta\geq n-2$ and is not necessarliy p.s.d for $\beta< n-2,$…
A real symmetric matrix $M$ is completely positive semidefinite if it admits a Gram representation by (Hermitian) positive semidefinite matrices of any size $d$. The smallest such $d$ is called the (complex) completely positive semidefinite…
Let $a$, $b$, $p$, $q$ be integers and~$(h_n)$ defined by $h_0=a$, $h_1=b$, $h_n=ph_{n-1}+qh_{n-2}$, $n=2,3,\dots$. Complementing to certain previously known results, we study the spectral norm of the circulant matrix corresponding to…
We use combinatorial and Fourier analytic arguments to prove various non-existence results on systems of real and complex unbiased Hadamard matrices. In particular, we prove that a complete system of complex mutually unbiased Hadamard…
We give a complete computation of the BNSR-invariants $\Sigma^m(H_n)$ of the Houghton groups $H_n$. Partial results were previously obtained by the author, with a conjecture about the full picture, which we now confirm. The proof involves…
We axiomatize and study the matrices of type $H\in M_N(A)$, having unitary entries, $H_{ij}\in U(A)$, and whose rows and columns are subject to orthogonality type conditions. Here $A$ can be any $C^*$-algebra, for instance $A=\mathbb C$,…
