Given a possibly singular matrix polynomial $P(z)$, we study how the eigenvalues, eigenvectors, root polynomials, minimal indices, and minimal bases of the pencils in the vector space $\mathbb{DL}(P)$ introduced in Mackey, Mackey, Mehl, and…

We study linear systems cut out by cones of fixed degree on a smooth complex curve $C\subset\mathbb{P}^{3}$. We develop a systematic study of the families of such systems, considering their limits, their infinitesimal behaviour and some…

We study real ternary forms whose real rank equals the generic complex rank, and we characterize the semialgebraic set of sums of powers representations with that rank. Complete results are obtained for quadrics and cubics. For quintics we…

We formulate conjectures regarding the maximum value and maximizing matrices of the permanent and of diagonal products on the set of stochastic matrices with bounded rank. We formulate equivalent conjectures on upper bounds for these…

In this article we study forbidden loci and typical ranks of forms with respect to the embeddings of $\mathbb P^1\times \mathbb P^1$ given by the line bundles $(2,2d)$. We introduce the Ranestad-Schreyer locus corresponding to supports of…

The aim of the present paper is to obtain a classification of all the irreducible modular representations of the symmetric group on $n$ letters of dimension at most $n^3$, including dimension formulae. This is achieved by improving an idea,…

We study the asymptotic distribution of level crossings for random matrix pencils A_n+\lambda B_n in several ensembles, including complex and real i.i.d. matrices and Gaussian/Hermitian settings. We derive a representation of the normalized…

The global Seiberg-Witten (SW) geometries for rank two theories with eight supercharges are studied. The theory is deformed generically so that there are only simplest $I_1$ or $\tilde{I}_1$ singularities on the Coulomb branch, which then…

We introduce a new class of structured matrix polynomials, namely, the class of M_A-structured matrix polynomials, to provide a common framework for many classes of structured matrix polynomials that are important in applications: the…

We analyze a combinatorial rule satisfied by the signs of principal minors of a real symmetric matrix. The sign patterns satisfying this rule are equivalent to uniform oriented Lagrangian matroids. We first discuss their structure and…

Given a $(k+1)$-tuple $A, B_1,...,B_k$ of $(m\times n)$-matrices with $m\le n$ we call the set of all $k$-tuples of complex numbers $\{\la_1,...,\la_k\}$ such that the linear combination $A+\la_1B_1+\la_2B_2+...+\la_kB_k$ has rank smaller…

The seminal work by Mackey et al. in 2006 (reference [21] of the article) introduced vector spaces of matrix pencils, with the property that almost all the pencils in the spaces are strong linearizations of a given square regular matrix…

The focus of the paper is on the maximal dimension of affine subspaces of nilpotent $n \times n $ matrices with fixed rank. In particular we obtain two results in the "border" cases rank equal to $n-1$ and rank equal to $1$.

The generalization of the N=2 supersymmetric chiral matrix (k|n,m)--GNLS hierarchy (Lett. Math. Phys. 45 (1998) 63, solv-int/9711009) to the case when matrix entries are bosonic and fermionic unconstrained N=2 superfields is proposed. This…

Let $\mathbf{a} = (a_{i})_{i \geq 1}$ be a sequence in a field $\mathbb{F}$, and $f \colon \mathbb{F} \times \mathbb{F} \to \mathbb{F}$ be a function such that $f(a_{i},a_{i}) \neq 0$ for all $i \geq 1$. For any tournament $T$ over $[n]$,…

We characterize under what conditions $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices $A_1$ and $A_2$ have the property that the spectrum of $\cos t A_1 + \sin t A_2$ is independent of $t$ (thus, the trigonometric pencil $\cos t A_1 + \sin t A_2$ is…

In this paper, we prove that each matrix in $M_{m\times n}(\mathbb Z_{\geq0})$ is uniformly column sign-coherent with respect to any $n\times n$ skew-symmetrizable integer matrix. Using such matrices, we introduce the definition of…

We prove that the rank-one convex hull of finitely many $2\times 2$ triangular matrices is a semialgebraic set, defined by linear and quadratic polynomials. We present explicit constructions for five-point configurations and offer evidence…

We obtain, using exponential quadratic sums, explicit expressions for the number of double persymmetric matrices with entries in F_2 of given rank. (A matix [a(i,j)) is persymmetric if a(i,j) = a(r,s) for i+j = r+s)

The standard way of solving the polynomial eigenvalue problem associated with a matrix polynomial is to embed the matrix polynomial into a matrix pencil, transforming the problem into an equivalent generalized eigenvalue problem. Such…
