A real matrix $Q$ is quasi-orthogonal if $Q^{\top}Q=qI$, for some positive real number $q$. We prove that any $n\times n$ skew-symmetric matrix $S$ is a principal sub-matrix of a skew-symmetric quasi-orthogonal matrix $Q$, called a…

In this paper we have discussed different possible orthogonalities in matrices, namely orthogonal, quasi-orthogonal, semi-orthogonal and non-orthogonal matrices including completely positive matrices, while giving some of their…

A minor of a matrix is quasi-principal if it is a principal or an almost-principal minor. The quasi principal rank characteristic sequence (qpr-sequence) of an $n\times n$ symmetric matrix is introduced, which is defined as $q_1 q_2 \cdots…

We study the differential and metric structures of the set of real square roots of a non-singular real matrix, under the assumption that the matrix and its square roots are semi-simple, or symmetric, or orthogonal.

A weighing matrix $W$ is quasi-balanced if $|W||W|^\top=|W|^\top|W|$ has at most two off-diagonal entries, where $|W|_{ij}=|W_{ij}|$. A quasi-balanced weighing matrix $W$ signs a strongly regular graph if $|W|$ coincides with its adjacency…

There exists an exact relationship between the quasi-exactly solvable problems of quantum mechanics and models of square and rectangular random complex matrices. This relationship enables one to reduce the problem of constructing…

We investigate pairwise quasi-orthogonal subalgebras in $M_{p^{kn}}$ which are isomorphic to $M_{p^{k}}$ for $k \ge 1$, $n \ge 2$ and a prime number $p$ with $p \ge 3$. We prove there exist $p^{2kn}-1/p^{2k}-1$ such subalgebras and they…

We give a geometric characterization of the sets $E\subset \mathbb{R}$ that satisfy the following property: every quasisymmetric embedding $f: E \to \mathbb{R}^n$ extends to a quasisymmetric embedding $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}^N$ for some…

We introduce the notion of quasi-orthogonal cocycle. This is motivated in part by the maximal determinant problem for square $\{\pm 1\}$-matrices of size congruent to $2$ modulo $4$. Quasi-orthogonal cocycles are analogous to the orthogonal…

We show that almost commuting real orthogonal matrices are uniformly close to exactly commuting real orthogonal matrices. We prove the same for symplectic unitary matrices. This is in contrast to the general complex case, where not all…

Suppose $Q(x)$ is a real $n\times n$ regular symmetric positive semidefinite matrix polynomial. Then it can be factored as $$Q(x) = G(x)^TG(x),$$ where $G(x)$ is a real $n\times n$ matrix polynomial with degree half that of $Q(x)$ if and…

In this work it is shown that certain interesting types of quasi-orthogonal system of subalgebras (whose existence cannot be ruled out by the trivial necessary conditions) cannot exist. In particular, it is proved that there is no…

We study sum-of-squares representations of symmetric univariate real matrix polynomials that are positive semidefinite along the real line. We give a new proof of the fact that every positive semidefinite univariate matrix polynomial of…

We determine the central extensions of a whole family of Lie algebras, obtained by the method of graded contractions from so(N+1), N arbitrary. All the inhomogeneous orthogonal and pseudo-orthogonal algebras are members of this family, as…

We prove that an injection from the integer set into the real line admits a quasiconformal extension to the complex plane if and only if it is quasisymmetric.

We define a quasimodule Q over a bounded lattice L in an analogous way as a module over a semiring is defined. The essential difference is that L need not be distributive. Also for quasimodules there can be introduced the concepts of inner…

A harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian augmented by a non-Hermitian \pt-symmetric part and its su(1,1) generalizations, for which a family of positive-definite metric operators was recently constructed, are re-examined in a supersymmetric…

This is my PhD thesis supervised by Professor Jerzy Weyman. A symmetric quiver $(Q,\sigma)$ is a finite quiver without oriented cycles $Q=(Q_0,Q_1)$ equipped with a contravariant involution $\sigma$ on $Q_0\sqcup Q_1$. The involution allows…

In this note we investigate the existence of flat orthogonal matrices, i.e. real orthogonal matrices with all entries having absolute value close to $\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$. Entries of $\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$ correspond to Hadamard matrices,…

In this study, we introduce the concept of quasi n-absorbing elements of multiplicative lattices. A proper element q is said to be a quasi n-absorbing element of L if whenever $a^nb\le q$ implies that either $a^n\le q$ or $a^{n-1}b\le q$.…
