In a recent paper [J.Math.Phys. vol42, 2236-2265 (2001)], we discussed differential operators within a quaternionic formulation of quantum mechanics. In particular, we proposed a practical method to solve quaternionic and complex linear…
In this note we mainly study the fine Jordan-Chevalley decomposition: a refinement of the classical Jordan-Chevalley decomposition of a matrix and we pay a particular attention to the field of the coefficients of the matrix. Moreover we…
The purpose of this note is to advertise an elegant algorithmic proof for the Jordan--Chevalley decomposition of a matrix, following and (slightly) revising the discussion of Couty, Esterle und Zarouf (2011). The basic idea of that method…
In this paper, we calculate the Jordan decomposition (or say, the Jordan canonical form) for a class of non-symmetric Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators with the drift coefficient matrix being a Jordan block and the diffusion coefficient matrix…
We give a generalization of the Jordan canonical form theorem for a class of bounded linear operators on complex separable Hilbert spaces in terms of direct integrals. Precisely, we study the uniqueness of strongly irreducible…
A square matrix $A$ has the usual Jordan canonical form that describes the structure of $A$ via eigenvalues and the corresponding Jordan blocks. If $A$ is a linear relation in a finite-dimensional linear space ${\mathfrak H}$ (i.e., $A$ is…
We prove a generalization of the Jordan canonical form theorem for a class of bounded linear operators on complex separable Hilbert spaces.
We apply the quaternionic Jordan form to classify the hypercomplex nilpotent almost abelian Lie algebras in all dimensions and to carry out the complete classification of 12-dimensional hypercomplex almost abelian Lie algebras. Moreover, we…
Although there are many simple proofs of Jordan's decomposition theorem in the literature (see [1], the references mentioned there, and [2]), our proof seems to be even more elementary. In fact, all we need is the theorem on the dimensions…
We provide a discussion of Jordan decompositions in the Lie algebra, and the dual Lie algebra, of a reductive group in as uniform a way as possible. We give a counterexample to the claim that Jordan decompositions on the dual Lie algebra…
We call a linear operator on a vector space over a field Jordanable if it has a Jordan canonical form. An almost Abelian Lie algebra has only one non-vanishing Lie bracket, which is given by a linear operator. If the latter is Jordanable…
We give a rigorous proof of Conjecture 3.1 by Prosen [Prosen T 2010 J. Stat. Mech. $\textbf{2010}$ P07020] on the nilpotent part of the Jordan decomposition of a quadratic fermionic Liouvillian. We also show that the number of the Jordan…
A theorem of Hukuhara, Levelt, and Turrittin states that every formal differential operator has a Jordan decomposition. This theorem was generalised by Babbit and Varadarajan to the case of formal $G$-connections where $G$ is a semisimple…
Let $\mathbb{F}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. Given a square matrix $A \in \mathbb{F}^{n \times n}$ and a polynomial $f \in \mathbb{F}[w]$, we determine the Jordan canonical form of the formal Fr\'{e}chet…
Motivated by a quaternionic formulation of quantum mechanics, we discuss quaternionic and complex linear differential equations. We touch only a few aspects of the mathematical theory, namely the resolution of the second order differential…
A well-known characterization of Jordan vectors of a matrix polynomial $L(z)$ is generalized to a characterization of Jordan vectors of the operator-valued function $Q(z)$ at an eigenvalue $\alpha \in \mathbb{C}$. The results are then…
A method of reducing general quaternion functions of first degree, i.e., linear quaternion functions, to quaternary canonical form is given. Linear quaternion functions, once reduced to canonical form, can be maintained in this form under…
The purpose of this paper is to point the effectiveness of the Jordan-Chevalley decomposition, i.e. the decomposition of a square matrix $U$ with coefficients in a field $k$ containing the eigenvalues of $U$ as a sum $U=D+N,$ where $D$ is a…
Determining the Jordan canonical form of the tensor product of Jordan blocks has many applications including to the representation theory of algebraic groups, and to tilting modules. Although there are several algorithms for computing this…
In this article we prove that the elliptic, hyperbolic and nilpotent (or unipotent) additive (or multiplicative) Jordan components of an endomorphism $X$ (or an isomorphism $g$) of a finite dimensional vector space are given by polynomials…
