The $N\times N$ complex Hadamard matrices form a real algebraic manifold $C_N$. The singularity at a point $H\in C_N$ is described by a filtration of cones $T^\times_HC_N\subset T^\circ_HC_N\subset T_HC_N\subset\widetilde{T}_HC_N$, coming…

The index of codivisibility of a set of integers is the size of its largest subset with a common prime divisor. For large random samples of integers, the index of codivisibility is approximately normal.

Let $D(n)$ be the maximal determinant for $n \times n$ $\{\pm 1\}$-matrices, and ${\mathcal R}(n) = D(n)/n^{n/2}$ be the ratio of $D(n)$ to the Hadamard upper bound. We give several new lower bounds on ${\mathcal R}(n)$ in terms of $d$,…

Let $\a$ be a real-valued random variable of mean zero and variance 1. Let $M_n(\a)$ denote the $n \times n$ random matrix whose entries are iid copies of $\a$ and $\sigma_n(M_n(\a))$ denote the least singular value of $M_n(\a)$.…

Given an $n$-dimensional random vector $X^{(n)}$ , for $k < n$, consider its $k$-dimensional projection $\mathbf{a}_{n,k}X^{(n)}$, where $\mathbf{a}_{n,k}$ is an $n \times k$-dimensional matrix belonging to the Stiefel manifold…

A recent development in random matrix theory, the intrinsic freeness principle, establishes that the spectrum of very general random matrices behaves as that of an associated free operator. This reduces the study of such random matrices to…

Let $k$ be a field and $n,a,b$ natural numbers. A matrix pencil $P$ is given by $n$ matrices of the same size with coefficients in $k$, say by $(b\times a)$-matrices, or, equivalently, by $n$ linear transformations $\alpha_i\:k^a \to k^b$…

We prove an estimate on the smallest singular value of a multiplicatively and additively deformed random rectangular matrix. Suppose $n\le N \le M \le \Lambda N$ for some constant $\Lambda \ge 1$. Let $X$ be an $M\times n$ random matrix…

We prove a generalization to Jennrich's uniqueness theorem for tensor decompositions in the undercomplete setting. Our uniqueness theorem is based on an alternative definition of the standard tensor decomposition, which we call…

The divisor sequence of an irreducible element (\textit{atom}) $a$ of a reduced monoid $H$ is the sequence $(s_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ where, for each positive integer $n$, $s_n$ denotes the number of distinct irreducible divisors of $a^n$.…

Let $\sigma_n$ denote the largest mode-$n$ multilinear singular value of an $I_1\times\dots \times I_N$ tensor $\mathcal T$. We prove that $$ \sigma_1^2+\dots+\sigma_{n-1}^2+\sigma_{n+1}^2+\dots+\sigma_{N}^2\leq (N-2)\|\mathcal T\|^2 +…

This is an introductory survey, from a geometric perspective, on the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) for real matrices, focusing on the role of the Terracini Lemma. We extend this point of view to tensors, we define the singular space of…

We derive a lower bound on the smallest singular value of a random $d$-regular matrix, that is, the adjacency matrix of a random $d$-regular directed graph. More precisely, let $C_1<d< c_1 n/\log^2 n$ and let $\mathcal{M}_{n,d}$ be the set…

Matrices with displacement structure such as Pick, Vandermonde, and Hankel matrices appear in a diverse range of applications. In this paper, we use an extremal problem involving rational functions to derive explicit bounds on the singular…
