R. Redheffer described an $n\times n$ matrix of 0's and 1's the size of whose determinant is connected to the Riemann Hypothesis. We describe the permutations that contribute to its determinant and evaluate its permanent in terms of integer…

For a matrix $T \in M_m(\mathbb{C})$, let $|T| : = \sqrt{T^*T}$. For $A \in M_m(\mathbb{C})$, we show that the matrix sequence $\big\{ |A^n|^{\frac{1}{n}} \big\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ converges in norm to a positive-semidefinite matrix $H$…

Let $w=(w_1,\dots,w_d)$ be a $d$-tuple of positive real numbers such that $\sum_{i}w_i =1$ and $w_1\geq \cdots \geq w_d$. A $d$-dimensional vector $x=(x_1,\dots,x_d)\in\mathbb{R}^d$ is said to be $w$-singular if for every $\epsilon>0$ there…

Let $n$ be a large integer and $M_n$ be a random $n$ by $n$ matrix whose entries are i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables (each entry is $\pm 1$ with probability 1/2). We show that the probability that $M_n$ is singular is at most $(3/4…

In this article we consider Wigner matrices $X_N$ with variance profiles (also called Wigner-type matrices) which are of the form $X_N(i,j) = \sigma(i/N,j/N) a_{i,j} / \sqrt{N}$ where $\sigma$ is a symmetric real positive function of…

Let $x_1, \dots, x_n$ be points in a metric space and define the distance matrix $D \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ by ${D}_{ij} = d(x_i, x_j)$. The Perron-Frobenius Theorem implies that there is an eigenvector $v \in \mathbb{R}^n_{}$ with…

Given two positive integers $n$ and $k$ and a parameter $t\in (0,1)$, we choose at random a vector subspace $V_{n}\subset \mathbb{C}^{k}\otimes\mathbb{C}^{n}$ of dimension $N\sim tnk$. We show that the set of $k$-tuples of singular values…

The singular values $\sigma >1$ of an $n \times n$ involutory matrix $A$ appear in pairs $(\sigma, \frac{1}{\sigma}),$ while the singular values $\sigma = 1$ may appear in pairs $(1,1)$ or by themselves. The left and right singular vectors…

Let $A=[a_{ij}]\in O_3(\mathbb{R})$. We give several different proofs of the fact that the vector $$ V:=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} \displaystyle \frac{1}{a_{23}+a_{32}} & \displaystyle \frac{1}{a_{13}+a_{31}} & \displaystyle…

We study largest singular values of large random matrices, each with mean of a fixed rank $K$. Our main result is a limit theorem as the number of rows and columns approach infinity, while their ratio approaches a positive constant. It…

Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ random matrix with independent, identically distributed mean 0, variance 1 subgaussian entries. We prove that $$ \mathbb{P}(A\text{ has distinct singular values})\geq 1-e^{-cn} $$ for some $c>0$, confirming a…

For a pair of coupled rectangular random matrices we consider the squared singular values of their product, which form a determinantal point process. We show that the limiting mean distribution of these squared singular values is described…

In this paper we discuss the notion of singular vector tuples of a complex valued $d$-mode tensor of dimension m_1 x ... x m_d. We show that a generic tensor has a finite number of singular vector tuples, viewed as points in the…

Let $G_n$ be a simple graph on $V_n=\{v_1,\dots, v_n\}$. The Seidel matrix $S(G_n)$ of $G_n$ is the $n\times n$ matrix whose $(ij)$'th entry, for $i\neq j$ is $-1$ if $v_i\sim v_j$ and $1$ otherwise, and whose diagonal entries are $0$. We…

Let $\left\{a_1, \dots, a_n\right\} \subset \mathbb{N}$ be a set of positive integers, $a_n$ denoting the largest element, so that for any two of the $2^n$ subsets the sum of all elements is distinct. Erd\H{o}s asked whether this implies…
