This paper studies commuting matrices in max algebra and nonnegative linear algebra. Our starting point is the existence of a common eigenvector, which directly leads to max analogues of some classical results for complex matrices. We also…

Let $\mathscr{F}$ be a field. A matrix $A$ of order $n \times n$ over $\mathscr{F}$ is a product of two nilpotent matrices if and only if it is singular, except if $A$ is a nonzero nilpotent matrix of order $2 \times 2$. This result was…

Let $A$ be a complex square matrix, and write its polar decomposition as $A=U|A|$. For $0<\lambda<1$, the $\lambda$-Aluthge transform of $A$ is defined by $$ \Delta_\lambda(A)=|A|^\lambda U|A|^{1-\lambda}. $$ In 2007, Huang and Tam…

The paper is devoted to the study of finite dimensional complex evolution algebras. The class of evolution algebras isomorphic to evolution algebras with Jordan form matrices is described. For finite dimensional complex evolution algebras…

For a complex nilpotent finite dimensional Lie algebra of matrices,and a Jordan-H\"older basis of it, we prove a spectral radius formula which extends a well-known result for commuting matrices.

We consider the fluctuations of the number of eigenvalues of $n\times n$ random normal matrices depending on a potential $Q$ in a given set $A$. These eigenvalues are known to form a determinantal point process, and are known to accumulate…

The classical concept of Fenchel conjugation is tailored to extended real-valued functions defined on linear spaces. In this paper we generalize this concept to functions defined on arbitrary sets that do not necessarily bear any structure…

The starting points for this paper are simple descriptions of the norm and strong* closures of the unitary orbit of a normal operator in a von Neumann algebra. The statements are in terms of spectral data and do not depend on the type or…

A classical inequality, which is known for families of monotone functions, is generalized to a larger class of families of measurable functions. Moreover we characterize all the families of functions for which the equality holds. We apply…

In this paper, we show how a construction of an implicit complexity model can be implemented using concepts coming from the core of von Neumann algebras. Namely, our aim is to gain an understanding of classical computation in terms of the…

We prove a uniqueness theorem for a large class of functional equations in the plane, which resembles in form a classical result of Aczel. It is also shown that functional equations in this class are overdetermined in the sense of Paneah.…

We give the definition of an invariant random positive definite function on a discrete group, generalizing both the notion of an invariant random subgroup and a character. We use von Neumann algebras to show that all invariant random…

We generalize Lindeberg's proof of the central limit theorem to an invariance principle for arbitrary smooth functions of independent and weakly dependent random variables. The result is applied to get a similar theorem for smooth functions…

In this paper we give alternate proofs of some well-known matrix inequalities. In particular, we show that under certain conditions the inequality holds \begin{align}\sum \limits_{\lambda_i\in \mathrm{Spec}(ab^{T})}\mathrm{min}\{\log…

Choose a random linear operator on a vector space of finite cardinality N: then the probability that it is nilpotent is 1/N. This is a linear analogue of the fact that for a random self-map of a set of cardinality N, the probability that…

We consider the correlations of invariant observables for the $O(N)$ and $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^{N-1}$ models at zero coupling, namely, with respect to the natural group-invariant measure. In the limit where one takes a large power of the…

The classical Hausdorff-Young inequality for locally compact abelian groups states that, for $1\le p\le 2$, the $L^p$-norm of a function dominates the $L^q$-norm of its Fourier transform, where $1/p+1/q=1$. By using the theory of…

We prove a general criterion for a von Neumann algebra $M$ in order to be in standard form. It is formulated in terms of an everywhere defined, invertible, antilinear, a priori not necessarily bounded operator, intertwining $M$ with its…

In this work we discuss whether the non-commuting graph of a finite group can determine its nilpotency. More precisely, Abdollahi, Akbari and Maimani conjectured that if $G$ and $H$ are finite groups with isomorphic non-commuting graphs and…

We study random vectors of the form $(\operatorname {Tr}(A^{(1)}V),...,\operatorname {Tr}(A^{(r)}V))$, where $V$ is a uniformly distributed element of a matrix version of a classical compact symmetric space, and the $A^{(\nu)}$ are…
