This paper is devoted to the theory of $GL_n({\mathbb Z})$-conjugacy classes of regular integer $n\times n$ matrices. Such a matrix is $GL_n({\mathbb Q})$-conjugate to the companion matrix of its characteristic polynomial. But the set of…
The joint numerical range $W(F)$ of three hermitian $3$-by-$3$ matrices $F=(F_1,F_2,F_3)$ is a convex and compact subset in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Generically we find that $W(F)$ is a three-dimensional oval. Assuming $\dim(W(F))=3$, every one- or…
The commuting variety of matrices over a given field is a well-studied object in linear algebra and algebraic geometry. As a set, it consists of all pairs of square matrices with entries in that field that commute with one another. In this…
Kippenhahn's Theorem asserts that the numerical range of a matrix is the convex hull of a certain algebraic curve. Here, we show that the joint numerical range of finitely many Hermitian matrices is similarly the convex hull of a…
