We introduce a remarkable new family of norms on the space of $n \times n$ complex matrices. These norms arise from the combinatorial properties of symmetric functions, and their construction and validation involve probability theory,…

We prove using a novel random matrix model that all right-angled Artin groups have a sequence of finite dimensional unitary representations that strongly converge to the regular representation. We deduce that this result applies also to:…

We obtain using exponential quadratic sums, explicit expressions for the number of triple persymmetric matrices over F_2 of given rank. (A matrix [a(i,j)] is persymmetric if a(i,j) = a(r,s) for i+j = r+s)

Using Jacobian Elliptic functions, we introduce a novel parametrization of a hyperbolic pencil of coaxal circles which reveals a remarkable group structure on the pencil. The geometric properties of the group elements lead to a new proof of…

The work is devoted to investigation of the canonical structure of regular, in domain of definition ${\cal U}\subseteq {\mathbb R}^{m}$, the pencil of matrix-functions $A(x)+\lambda B(x)$. It is supposed that $\det A(x)\equiv 0$ and $\det…

An $n\times n$ matrix is said to have a self-interlacing spectrum if its eigenvalues $\lambda_k$, $k=1,\ldots,n$, are distributed as follows $$ \lambda_1>-\lambda_2>\lambda_3>\cdots>(-1)^{n-1}\lambda_n>0. $$ A method for constructing sign…

We develop a theory of levels for irreducible representations of symmetric groups of degree $n$ analogous to the theory of levels for finite classical groups. A key property of level is that the level of a character, provided it is not too…

Let six points $1, ...6$ lie in general position in the real projective plane and consider the pencil of nodal cubics based at these points, with node at one of them, say 1. This pencil has five reducible cubics. We call combinatorial cubic…

In this paper, we prove the following. First, every square matrix whose entries are multivariable rational functions over a field $\mathbb{F}$ has a Bessmertny\u{i} realization, i.e., is the Schur complement of an affine linear square…

In this article, we classify all symmetric generalized numerical semigroups in $\mathbb{N}^d$ of embedding dimension $2d+1$. Consequently, we show that in this case the property of being symmetric is equivalent to have a unique maximal gap…

We consider subalgebras $\mathcal{A}$ of the algebra $M_n$ of $n \times n$ complex matrices that contain all diagonal matrices, known in the literature as the structural matrix algebras (SMAs). Let $\mathcal{A} \subseteq M_n$ be an…

Results on matrix canonical forms are used to give a complete description of the higher rank numerical range of matrices arising from the study of quantum error correction. It is shown that the set can be obtained as the intersection of…

A maniplex of rank n s an n-valent properly edge-coloured graph that generalises, simultaneously, maps on surfaces and abstract polytopes. The problem of stability in maniplexes is a natural variant of the problem of stability in graphs. A…

We study several variants of decomposing a symmetric matrix into a sum of a low-rank positive semidefinite matrix and a diagonal matrix. Such decompositions have applications in factor analysis and they have been studied for many decades.…

Let S be a principally embedded sl_2 subalgebra in sl_n for n > 2. A special case of results of the third author and Gregg Zuckerman implies that there exists a positive integer b(n) such that for any finite-dimensional irreducible sl_n…

We consider the spherical complementary series of rank one Lie groups $H_n=\SO_0(n, 1; \mathbb F)$ for $\mathbb F=\mathbb R, \mathbb C, \mathbb H$. We prove that there exist finitely many discrete components in its restriction under the…

In this paper we illustrate by some examples the connection between the number of solutions of polynomial equations satisfying degree conditions and the number of rank I matrices related to persymmetric matrices.

We show that the number of linear spaces on a set of $n$ points and the number of rank-3 matroids on a ground set of size $n$ are both of the form $(cn+o(n))^{n^2/6}$, where $c=e^{\sqrt 3/2-3}(1+\sqrt 3)/2$. This is the final piece of the…

We calculate the maximal dimension of linear spaces of symmetric and hermitian matrices with given high rank, generalizing a well-known result of Adams {\em et al.}

This paper presents a fast, randomized divide-and-conquer algorithm for the definite generalized eigenvalue problem, which corresponds to pencils $(A,B)$ in which $A$ and $B$ are Hermitian and the Crawford number $\gamma(A,B) =…
