Subsets of a matrix algebra over a field that are invariant under conjugation and contain the linear span of each two of their commuting elements are described. They obviously include the subsets of diagonalizable and nilpotent matrices. In…

The present work develops certain analytical tools required to construct and compute invariant kernels on the space of complex covariance matrices. The main result is the $\mathrm{L}^1$--Godement theorem, which states that any invariant…

It is well-known that a nilpotent n by n matrix B is determined up to conjugacy by a partition of n formed by the sizes of the Jordan blocks of B. We call this partition the Jordan type of B. We obtain partial results on the following…

Invariant subspaces of a matrix $A$ are considered which are obtained by truncation of a Jordan basis of a generalized eigenspace of $A$. We characterize those subspaces which are independent of the choice of the Jordan basis. An…

We investigate how invariant subspaces corresponding to a single eigenvalue will change when a matrix is perturbed. We focus on the invariant subspaces corresponding to an eigenvalue associated with the Jordan blocks that have the same…

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…

We prove the Box Conjecture for pairs of commuting nilpotent matrices, as formulated by Iarrobino et al [28]. This describes the Jordan type of the dense orbit in the nilpotent commutator of a given nilpotent matrix. Our main tool is the…

We show that a formal power series in $2N$ non-commuting indeterminates is a positive non-commutative kernel if and only if the kernel on $N$-tuples of matrices of any size obtained from this series by matrix substitution is positive. We…

In this paper we characterize all nilpotent orbits under the action by conjugation that intersect the nilpotent centralizer of a nilpotent matrix $B$ consisting of two Jordan blocks of the same size. We list all the possible Jordan…

It is well known that the matrix exponential of a non-normal matrix can exhibit transient growth even when all eigenvalues of the matrix have negative real part, and similarly for the powers of the matrix when all eigenvalues have magnitude…

A problem that is frequently encountered in a variety of mathematical contexts, is to find the common invariant subspaces of a single, or set of matrices. A new method is proposed that gives a definitive answer to this problem. The key idea…

We introduce a practical construction of group-equivariant and permutation-invariant functions of $N$ variables given a finite-dimensional space stable with respect to the group action. The construction applies to any connected linear Lie…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field of characteristic different from $2$, and let $M_n(\mathbb{K})$ be the algebra of all $n\times n$ matrices over $\mathbb{K}$. We consider the corresponding special Jordan algebra $\mathcal{A}:=M_n(\mathbb{K})^+$…

We obtain a complete characterization for doubly commuting mixed invariant subspaces of the Hardy space over the unit polydisc. We say a closed subspace $\mathcal{Q}$ of $H^2(\mathbb{D}^n)$ is mixed invariant if $M_{z_{j}}(\mathcal{Q})…

Given two nilpotent endomorphisms, we determine when their lattices of hyperinvariant subspaces are isomorphic. The study of the lattice of hyperinvariant subspaces can be reduced to the nilpotent case when the endomorphism has a…

We review a known method of compounding two magic square matrices of order m and n with the all-ones matrix to form two magic square matrices of order mn. We show that these compounded matrices commute. Simple formulas are derived for their…

In this paper, we present a kernel subspace clustering method that can handle non-linear models. In contrast to recent kernel subspace clustering methods which use predefined kernels, we propose to learn a low-rank kernel matrix, with which…

This paper is devoted to the study of preservation of eigenvalues, Jordan structure and complementary invariant subspaces of structured matrices under structured perturbations. Perturbations and structure-preserving perturbations are…

Let $k$ be an infinite field. Fix a Jordan nilpotent $n$ by $n$ matrix $B = J_P$ with entries in $k$ and associated Jordan type $P$. Let $Q(P)$ be the Jordan type of a generic nilpotent matrix commuting with $B$. In this paper, we use the…
