Consider the space Hom(Z^n,G) of pairwise commuting n-tuples of elements in a compact Lie group G. This forms a real algebraic variety, which is generally singular. In this paper, we construct a desingularization of the generic component of…
We investigate the variety of commuting matrices. We classify its components for any number of matrices of size at most 7. We prove that starting from quadruples of size 8 matrices, this scheme has generically nonreduced components, while…
We introduce an algebra of elliptic commuting variables involving a base $q$, nome $p$, and $2r$ noncommuting variables. This algebra, which for $r=1$ reduces to an algebra considered earlier by the author, is an elliptic extension of the…
We study the geometry of the algebraic set of tuples of composable matrices which multiply to a fixed matrix, using tools from the theory of quiver representations. In particular, we determine its codimension $C$ and the number $\theta$ of…
Comtrans algebras, arising in web geometry, have two trilinear operations, commutator and translator. We determine a Gr\"obner basis for the comtrans operad, and state a conjecture on its dimension formula. We study multilinear polynomial…
We consider the space of $n$-tuples of pairwise commuting elements in the Lie algebra of $U(m)$. We relate its one-point compactification to the subquotients of certain rank filtrations of connective complex $K$-theory. We also describe the…
Suppose $\mathfrak{R}$ is a $2$,$3$-torsion free unital alternative ring having an idempotent element $e_1$ $\left(e_2 = 1-e_1\right)$ which satisfies $x \mathfrak{R} \cdot e_i = \{0\} \rightarrow x = 0$ $\left(i = 1,2\right)$. In this…
For commuting linear operators $P_0,P_1,..., P_\ell$ we describe a range of conditions which are weaker than invertibility. When any of these conditions hold we may study the composition $P=P_0P_1... P_\ell$ in terms of the component…
We study the properties of singular values of mixing matrices embedded within an experimentally determined interval matrix. We argue that any physically admissible mixing matrix needs to have the property of being a contraction. This…
In this paper, using techniques of value distribution theory, we give a uniqueness theorem for meromorphic mappings of C^m into P^n with (3n+1) moving targets and truncated multiplicities.
Zeta-regularized determinants are well-known to fail to be multiplicative. Hence one is lead to study the n-fold multiplicative anomaly M_n(A_1,...,A_n) :=\frac{\det_\zeta\Big(\prod_{i=1}^n A_i\Big)}{\prod_{i=1}^n \det_\zeta(A_i)} attached…
Matrix multiplication (hereafter we use the acronym MM) is among the most fundamental operations of modern computations. The efficiency of its performance depends on various factors, in particular vectorization, data movement and arithmetic…
Algebraic matrix multiplication algorithms are designed by bounding the rank of matrix multiplication tensors, and then using a recursive method. However, designing algorithms in this way quickly leads to large constant factors: if one…
The connection between the commutativity of a family of $n\times n$ matrices and the generalized joint numerical ranges is studied. For instance, it is shown that ${\cal F}$ is a family of mutually commuting normal matrices if and only if…
We show that whenever a contractive $k$-tuple $T$ on a finite dimensional space $H$ has a unitary dilation, then for any fixed degree $N$ there is a unitary $k$-tuple $U$ on a finite dimensional space so that $q(T) = P_H q(U) |_H$ for all…
Groups with commuting inner mappings are of nilpotency class at most two, but there exist loops with commuting inner mappings and of nilpotency class higher than two, called loops of Cs\"org\H{o} type. In order to obtain small loops of…
A question going back to Halmos asks when two approximately commuting matrices of a certain kind are close to exactly commuting matrices of the same kind. It has long been known that there is a winding number obstruction for approximately…
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…
Several sequences of free cumulants that count binary plane trees correspond to sequences of classical cumulants that count the decreasing versions of the same trees. Using two new operations on colored binary plane trees that we call…
We obtain a series of new results on the problem of irreducibility of commuting varieties associated with symmetric pairs or, in other words, $Z_2$-graded simple Lie algebras. In particular, we present many examples of reducible commuting…
