We associate with k hermitian N\times N matrices a probability measure on R^k. It is supported on the joint numerical range of the k-tuple of matrices. We call this measure the joint numerical shadow of these matrices. Let k=2. A pair of…

The topic of this paper is the typical behavior of the spectral measures of large random matrices drawn from several ensembles of interest, including in particular matrices drawn from Haar measure on the classical Lie groups, random…

It is well known from the Perron-Frobenius theory that the spectral gap of a positive square matrix is positive. In this paper, we give a more quantitative characterization of the spectral gap. More specifically, using a complex extension…

For Green-Schwarz superstring sigma-model on curved backgrounds, we introduce a non-metric measure $\Phi \equiv \epsilon^{i j} \epsilon^{I J} (\partial_i \varphi^I) (\partial_j \varphi^J)$ with two scalars $\varphi^I (I = 1, 2)$ used in Two…

It is known [Dai and Sun, J. Funct. Anal. 268 (2015), 2464--2477] that there exist spectral measures with arbitrary Hausdorff dimensions, and it is natural to pose the question of whether similar phenomena occur for other dimensions of…

The non-perturbative equivalence of four-dimensional N=2 superstrings with three vector multiplets and four hypermultiplets is analysed. These models are obtained through freely acting orbifold compactifications from the heterotic, the…

We show that if $f$ is a non-negative superquadratic function, then $A\mapsto\mathrm{Tr}f(A)$ is a superquadratic function on the matrix algebra. In particular, \begin{align*} \tr f\left( {\frac{{A + B}}{2}} \right) +\tr f\left(\left|…

Spectral properties of Hermitian Toeplitz, Hankel, and Toeplitz-plus-Hankel random matrices with independent identically distributed entries are investigated. Combining numerical and analytic arguments it is demonstrated that spectral…

Let $\mu_{M,D}$ be the planar self-affine measure generated by an expansive integer matrix $M\in M_2(\mathbb{Z})$ and a non-collinear integer digit set $D=\left\{\begin{pmatrix} 0\\0\end{pmatrix},\begin{pmatrix} \alpha_{1}\\ \alpha_{2}…

The associative spectrum of a groupoid (i.e., a set with a binary operation) measures its nonassociativity while the associative-commutative spectrum measures both nonassociativity and noncommutativity of the groupoid. The two spectra are…

Using the spectral subspaces obtained in [HS], Brown's results on the Brown measure of an operator in a type II_1 factor (M,tr) are generalized to finite sets of commuting operators in M. It is shown that whenever T_1,..., T_n in M are…

It is well-known that, in general, an appearance of an algebraic hypersurface of finite multiplicity in the projective joint spectrum of an operator tuple does not imply the existence of a finite-dimensional common invariant subspace.We…

Let $\mathbb F$ be a field of characteristic not $2$, and let $(A,B)$ be a pair of $n\times n$ matrices over $\mathbb F$, in which $A$ is symmetric and $B$ is skew-symmetric. A canonical form of $(A,B)$ with respect to congruence…

We consider a family of measures $\mu$ supported in $\br^d$ and generated in the sense of Hutchinson by a finite family of affine transformations. It is known that interesting sub-families of these measures allow for an orthogonal basis in…

In the paper we fully describe Taylor spectrum of pairs of isometries given by diagrams. In most cases both isometries in such pairs have non-trivial shift part and its Taylor spectrum is a proper subset (of Lebesgue measure in $(0,\pi^2)$)…

In this work we introduce a new measure for the dispersion of the spectral scale of a Hermitian (self-adjoint) operator acting on a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space that we call spectral spread. Then, we obtain some…

We consider operators of the form $\mathbf{T}=\mathbf{A^*}(V\mu)\mathbf{A}$ in $\mathbb{R}^\mathbf{N}$, where $\mathbf{A}$ is a pseudodifferential operator of order $-l$, $\mu$ is a compactly supported singular measure, order $s>0$…

The adjoint method introduced in [Eva] and [Tra] is used, to construct analogs to the Aubry-Mather measures for non convex Hamiltonians. More precisely, a general construction of probability measures, that in the convex setting agree with…

We give canonical matrices of a pair (A,B) consisting of a nondegenerate form B and a linear operator A satisfying B(Ax,Ay)=B(x,y) on a vector space over F in the following cases: (i) F is an algebraically closed field of characteristic…

We compute the Brown measure of the non-normal operators $X = p + i q$, where $p$ and $q$ are Hermitian, freely independent, and have spectra consisting of $2$ atoms. The computation relies on the model of the non-trivial part of the von…
