In this note we introduce a sufficient condition for the Orlik-Solomon algebra associated to a matroid M to be l-adic and we prove that this condition is necessary when M is binary (in particular graphic). Moreover, this result cannot be…

In this work some results on the structure-preserving diagonalization of selfadjoint and skewadjoint matrices in indefinite inner product spaces are presented. In particular, necessary and sufficient conditions on the symplectic…

We consider a set of N linearly coupled harmonic oscillators and show that the diagonalization of this problem can be put in geometrical terms. The matrix techniques developed here allowed for solutions in both the classical and quantum…

In this paper, we study the action of special $n\times n $ linear (resp. symplectic) matrices which are homotopic to identity on the right invertible $n\times m$ matrices. We also prove that the commutator subgroup of $\rm{O}_{2n}(R[X])$ is…

In this talk a sufficient condition for a diagonal orthogonally transitive cylindrical $G_2$ metric to be geodesically complete is given. The condition is weak enough to comprise all known diagonal perfect fluid cosmological models that are…

This paper studies the unitary diagonalization of matrices over formal power series rings. Our main result shows that a normal matrix is unitarily diagonalizable if and only if its minimal polynomial completely splits over the ring and the…

In a previous Note we established a necessary and sufficient condition for a multivariate Weyl--Heisenberg system G({\phi},{\Lambda}) to be a frame when the window is a generalized Gaussian (squeezed coherent state) and {\Lambda} a…

We draw attention to the fact that a Hermitian matrix is always diagonalizable and has real discrete spectrum whereas the Hermitian Schr{\"o}dinger Hamiltonian: $H=p^2/2\mu+V(x)$, may not be so. For instance when $V(x)=x, x^3, -x^2$, $H$…

An $n\times n$ matrix is said to have a self-interlacing spectrum if its eigenvalues $\lambda_k$, $k=1,\ldots,n$, are distributed as follows $$ \lambda_1>-\lambda_2>\lambda_3>\cdots>(-1)^{n-1}\lambda_n>0. $$ A method for constructing sign…

Every commuting set of normal matrices with entries in an AW*-algebra can be simultaneously diagonalized. To establish this, a dimension theory for properly infinite projections in AW*-algebras is developed. As a consequence, passing to…

We consider the canonical Wiener-Hopf factorisation of $2 \times 2$ symmetric matrices $\mathcal M$ with respect to a contour $\Gamma$. For the case that the quotient $q$ of the two diagonal elements of $\mathcal M$ is a rational function,…

Any associative bilinear multiplication on the set of n-by-n matrices over some field of characteristic not two, that makes the same vectors orthogonal and has the same trace as ordinary matrix multiplication, must be ordinary matrix…

We introduce a family of compatible Poisson brackets on the space of $2\times 2$ polynomial matrices, which contains the reflection equation algebra bracket. Then we use it to derive a multi-Hamiltonian structure for a set of integrable…

We form a sequence of oblong matrices by evaluating an integrable vector-valued function along the orbit of an ergodic dynamical system. We obtain an almost sure asymptotic result for the permanents of those matrices. We also give an…

We present a prescription for forming matrices with specified eigenvalues and known eigenvectors. With this method, we can form Hermitian, anti-Hermitian, symmetric and general matrices with arbitrary eigenvalues. In addition we propose an…

A new sufficient condition for a list of real numbers to be the spectrum of a symmetric doubly stochastic matrix is presented; this is a contribution to the classical spectral inverse problem for symmetric doubly stochastic matrices that is…

This paper concentrates on optical Hamiltonian systems of $T*\T^n$, i.e. those for which $\Hpp$ is a positive definite matrix, and their relationship with symplectic twist maps. We present theorems of decomposition by symplectic twist maps…

Associated with every $2n\times 2n$ real positive definite matrix $A,$ there exist $n$ positive numbers called the symplectic eigenvalues of $A,$ and a basis of $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ called the symplectic eigenbasis of $A$ corresponding to…

We prove that the range of a symmetric matrix over F_2 contains the vector of its diagonal elements. We apply the theorem to a generalization of the "Lights Out" problem on graphs.

A $2n\times 2n$ real matrix $A$ is said to be a Hamiltonian matrix if $A^{T}J+JA=0$, where $J=\left( \begin{array}{cc} 0 & I_{n} \\ -I_{n} & 0\\ \end{array} \right)$. Hamiltonian matrices appear in many areas of applications, such as linear…
