This paper is devoted to the study of eigenvalue region of the doubly stochastic matrices which are also permutative, that is, each row of such a matrix is a permutation of any other row. We call these matrices as permutative doubly…

Let $\lambda_1 \geq \lambda_2 \geq \lambda_3 \geq \lambda_4 \geq \lambda_5 \geq -\lambda_1$ be real numbers such that $\sum_{i=1}^5 \lambda_i =0$. In \cite{oren}, O. Spector prove that a necessary and sufficient condition for $\lambda_1,…

In this paper we study algebras with trace and their trace polynomial identities over a field of characteristic 0. We consider two commutative matrix algebras: $D_2$, the algebra of $2\times 2$ diagonal matrices and $C_2$, the algebra of $2…

We derive an expression for the product of the Pfaffians of two skew-symmetric matrices A and B as a sum of products of the traces of powers of AB and an expression for the inverse matrix A$^{-1}$, or equivalently B$^{-1}$, as a…

We study an invariant, the secondary trace, attached to two commuting endomorphisms of a 2-dualizable object in a symmetric monoidal higher category. We establish a secondary trace formula which encodes the natural symmetries of this…

Methods for stochastic trace estimation often require the repeated evaluation of expressions of the form $z^T p_n(A)z$, where $A$ is a symmetric matrix and $p_n$ is a degree $n$ polynomial written in the standard or Chebyshev basis. We show…

We study the ergodicity of backward product of stochastic and doubly stochastic matrices by introducing the concept of absolute infinite flow property. We show that this property is necessary for ergodicity of any chain of stochastic…

The aim of this paper is to show that various known characterizations of traces on classical pseudodifferentials operators (PsiDOs) can actually be obtained by very elementary considerations on PsiDOs, using only basic properties of these…

We study the problem when every matrix over a division ring is representable as either the product of traceless matrices or the product of semi-traceless matrices, and also give some applications of such decompositions. Specifically, we…

Let $M$ be a random matrix chosen according to Haar measure from the unitary group $\mathrm{U}(n,\mathbb{C})$. Diaconis and Shahshahani proved that the traces of $M,M^2,\ldots,M^k$ converge in distribution to independent normal variables as…

The problem of determining necessary and sufficient conditions for a set of real numbers to be the eigenvalues of a symmetric nonnegative matrix is called the symmetric nonnegative inverse eigenvalue problem (SNIEP). In this paper we solve…

In this paper, we introduce a new concept namely degree polynomial for vertices of a simple graph. This notion leads to a concept namely degree polynomial sequence which is stronger than the concept of degree sequence. After obtaining the…

In this paper, we describe the entire structure of the vector space $Sym_2^0$ of all symmetric matrices of size $2$ having trace zero. This is motivated by the geometrical interpretation of any arbitrary element of $Sym_2^0$. We further…

We use the well-known isomorphism between operator algebras and function spaces equipped with a star product to study the asymptotic properties of certain matrix sequences in which the matrix dimension $D$ tends to infinity. Our approach is…

Let $M$ be chosen uniformly at random w.r.t. the Haar measure on the unitary group $U_n$, the unitary symplectic group $USp_{2n}$ or the orthogonal group $O_n$. Diaconis and Shashahani proved that the traces…

The problem of determining $DS_n$, the complex numbers that occur as an eigenvalue of an $n$-by-$n$ doubly stochastic matrix, has been a target of study for some time. The Perfect-Mirsky region, $PM_n$, is contained in $DS_n$, and is known…

A symmetric doubly stochastic matrix A is said to be determined by its spectra if the only symmetric doubly stochastic matrices that are similar to A are of the form $P^TAP$ for some permutation matrix P. The problem of characterizing such…

The concepts of differentiation and integration for matrices were introduced for studying zeros and critical points of complex polynomials. Any matrix is differentiable, however not all matrices are integrable. The purpose of this paper is…

We study skew-orthogonal polynomials with respect to the weight function $\exp[-2V(x)]$, with $V(x)=\sum_{K=1}^{2d}(u_{K}/{K})x^{K}$, $u_{2d} > 0$, $d > 0$. A finite subsequence of such skew-orthogonal polynomials arising in the study of…
