Associated to an Hadamard matrix $H\in M_N(\mathbb C)$ is the spectral measure $\mu\in\mathcal P[0,N]$ of the corresponding Hopf image algebra, $A=C(G)$ with $G\subset S_N^+$. We study here a certain family of discrete measures…

Let $R$ be an expanding matrix with integer entries and let $B,L$ be finite integer digit sets so that $(R,B,L)$ form a Hadamard triple on ${\br}^d$. We prove that the associated self-affine measure $\mu = \mu(R,B)$ is a spectral measure,…

Let $A$ be a $n\times n$ complex Hermitian matrix and let $\lambda(A)=(\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_n)\in \mathbb{R}^n$ denote the eigenvalues of $A$, counting multiplicities and arranged in non-increasing order. Motivated by problems arising…

We show that a complex symmetric matrix of the form $A(Y,B) = \begin{bmatrix}Y & B\\ B^\top & \overline{Y} \end{bmatrix},$ where $B$ is Hermitian positive semidefinite, has a nonnegative hafnian. These are positive scalar multiples of…

If a tuple of matrices has a common invariant subspace, its projective joint spectrum has an algebraic component. In general, the converse is not true, and there might be algebraic components in the projective joint spectrum without…

Given a diagonalizable $N\times N$ matrix $H$, whose non-degenerate spectrum consists of $p$ pairs of complex conjugate eigenvalues and additional $N-2p$ real eigenvalues, we determine all metrics $M$, of all possible signatures, with…

Let $\mu$ be a self-similar measure generated by iterated function system of four maps of equal contraction ratio $0<\rho<1$. We study when $\mu$ is a spectral measure which means that it admits an exponential orthonormal basis $\{e^{2\pi i…

Schatten class properties of commutators $[b,T]$ of pointwise multipliers $b$ and singular integral operators $T$ have been characterised in a variety of settings. An abstract framework, covering many of these results as special cases, was…

We compute spectra and Brown measures of some non self-adjoint operators in $(M_2(\cc), {1/2}Tr)*(M_2(\cc), {1/2}Tr)$, the reduced free product von Neumann algebra of $M_2(\cc)$ with $M_2(\cc)$. Examples include $AB$ and $A+B$, where A and…

A Borel probability measure $\mu$ on a locally compact group is called a spectral measure if there exists a subset of continuous group characters which forms an orthogonal basis of the Hilbert space $L^2(\mu)$. In this paper, we…

For a Borel probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, it is called a spectral measure if the Hilbert space $L^{2}(\mu)$ admits an orthogonal basis of exponential functions. In this paper, we study the spectrality of fractal measures…

Two trace formulas for the spectra of arbitrary Hermitian matrices are derived by transforming the given Hermitian matrix $H$ to a unitary analogue. In the first type the unitary matrix is $e^{i(\lambda\II - H)}$ where $\lambda$ is the…

Given a pair $A,B$ of matrices of size $n\times n$, we consider the matrix function $e^{At+B}$ of the variable $t\in\mathbb{C}$. If the matrix $A$ is Hermitian, the matrix function $e^{At+B}$ is representable as the bilateral Laplace…

The phenomenon of half-spectral unidirectional invisibility is introduced for one-dimensional periodic optical structures with tailored real and imaginary refractive index distributions in a non-$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric configuration. The…

We introduce, in the dual Macaev ideal of compact operators of a Hilbert space, the spectral weight $\rho(L)$ of a positive, self-adjoint operator $L$ having discrete spectrum away from zero. We provide criteria for its measurability and…

Uhlmann showed that there exists a positive, unital and trace-preserving map transforming a Hermitian matrix $A$ into another $B$ if and only if the vector of eigenvalues of $A$ majorizes that of $B$. In this work I characterize the…

Let $\textrm{Mat}_2(\mathbb{R})$ be the set of $2 \times 2$ matrices with real entries. For any $\varepsilon>0$ and any finitely--supported probability measure $\mu$ on $\textrm{Mat}_2(\mathbb{R})$, we prove that either \[ T(\mu) = \sum_{X,…

In recent papers a number of authors have considered Borel probability measures $\mu$ in $\br^d$ such that the Hilbert space $L^2(\mu)$ has a Fourier basis (orthogonal) of complex exponentials. If $\mu$ satisfies this property, the set of…
