The spectrum of the Hamiltonian of the double compactified D=11 supermembrane with non-trivial central charge or equivalently the non-commutative symplectic super Maxwell theory is analyzed. In distinction to what occurs for the D=11…
The matricial range of the $2\times2$ matrix $E_{21}$ (i.e., the $2\times 2$ unilateral shift) is described very simply: it consists of all matrices with numerical radius at most $1/2$. The known proofs of this simple statement, however,…
We show that elliptic curves with complex multiplication (CM) naturally emerge in the spectral geometry of Hermitian one-matrix models in the two-cut phase. Focusing on a symmetric quartic potential, we derive the corresponding genus-one…
We say that a semigroup of matrices has a submultiplicative spectrum if the spectrum of the product of any two elements of the semigroup is contained in the product of the two spectra in question (as sets). In this note we explore an…
The celebrated elliptic law describes the distribution of eigenvalues of random matrices with correlations between off-diagonal pairs of elements, having applications to a wide range of physical and biological systems. Here, we investigate…
In approximate ground states obtained from imaginary-time evolution, the spectrum of the state -- its decomposition into exact energy eigenstates -- falls off exponentially with the energy. Here we consider the energy spectra of approximate…
In symmetric groups, studies of permutation factorizations or triples of permutations satisfying certain conditions have a long history. One particular interesting case is when two of the involved permutations are long cycles, for which…
New bounds are derived for the eigenvalues of sums of Kronecker products of square matrices by relating the corresponding matrix expressions to the covariance structure of suitable bi-linear stochastic systems in discrete and continuous…
We prove several results on products of conjugacy classes in finite simple groups. The first result is that there always exists a uniform generating triple. This result and other ideas are used to solve a 1966 conjecture of Peter Neumann…
We introduce a transfer matrix method for the spectral analysis of discrete Hermitian operators with locally finite hopping. Such operators can be associated with a locally finite graph structure and the method works in principle on any…
We study the problem of constructing explicit families of matrices which cannot be expressed as a product of a few sparse matrices. In addition to being a natural mathematical question on its own, this problem appears in various…
Many products amongst $v_2$-periodic families in the stable homotopy groups of spheres are shown not to vanish and some Toda brackets are shown not to contain zero. This is done by carefully studying the action of Adams operations on…
We investigate the product of $n$ complex non-Hermitian, independent random matrices, each of size $N\times N$ in the class of elliptic matrices, with independent identically distributed entries. The joint probability distribution of the…
We study the revenue maximization problem of a seller with n heterogeneous items for sale to a single buyer whose valuation function for sets of items is unknown and drawn from some distribution D. We show that if D is a distribution over…
We consider (max,+)-algebra products of random matrices, which arise from performance evaluation of acyclic fork-join queueing networks. A new algebraic technique to examine properties of the product and investigate its limiting behaviour…
We will consider cross products of finite graphs with a class of trees that have arbitrarily but finitely long line segments, such as the Fibonacci tree. Such cross products are called tree-strips. We prove that for small disorder random…
We describe some asymptotic properties of trigonometric skew-product maps over irrational rotations of the circle. The limits are controlled using renormalization. The maps considered here arise in connection with the self-dual Hofstadter…
We focus upon the relationship between Hamiltonian cycle products and efficient vectors for a reciprocal matrix $A$, to more deeply understand the latter. This facilitates a new description of the set of efficient vectors (as a union of…
Symmetric product orbifold theories are valuable due to their universal features at large $N$. Here we will demonstrate that they have features that are not as pervasive: we provide evidence of strange behaviour under deformations within…
We describe certain special consequences of certain elementary methods from group theory for studying the algebraic complexity of matrix multiplication, as developed by H. Cohn, C. Umans et. al. in 2003 and 2005. The measure of complexity…
