Let $A$ be a matrix with nonnegative real entries. A nonnegative factorization of size $k$ is a representation of $A$ as a sum of $k$ nonnegative rank-one matrices. The space of all such factorizations is a bounded semialgebraic set, and we…

A connected 1-factorisation is a 1-factorisation of a hypergraph for which the union of each pair of distinct 1-factors is a connected hypergraph. A uniform 1-factorisation is a 1-factorisation of a hypergraph for which the union of each…

We show that the unitary factor U in the polar decomposition of a nonsingular matrix Z = U H is the minimizer for both ||Log(Q^* Z)|| and ||sym (Log(Q^*Z))|| over unitary Q, for any given invertible complex n-times-n matrix Z, for any…

In an earlier paper we explained how to convert the problem of symplectically embedding one 4-dimensional ellipsoid into another into the problem of embedding a certain set of disjoint balls into \CP^2 by using a new way to desingularize…

In 1977, Orlik--Randell construct a nice integral basis of the middle homology group of the Milnor fiber associated to an invertible polynomial of chain type and they conjectured that it is represented by a distinguished basis of vanishing…

We study the combinatorial, algebraic and geometric properties of the free product operation on matroids. After giving cryptomorphic definitions of free product in terms of independent sets, bases, circuits, closure, flats and rank…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebra with Cartan subalgebra $\mathfrak{h}$. We prove a unique factorization property for tensor products of parabolic Verma modules. More generally, we prove unique factorization for…

The implementation details of factorizing the 3x4 projection matrices of linear cameras into their left matrix factors and the 4x4 homogeneous central(also parallel for infinite center cases) projection factors are presented in this work.…

We disprove a conjecture by Ye and Lim, by showing that there are $3 \times 3$ complex matrices which can't be expressed as the product of two Toeplitz matrices of the same size. We also improve previous estimates by Ye and Lim on the…

We present a class of symplectic matrices which transform by similarity given $2n\times 2n$ -dimensional matrix into Bunse-Gerstner form. If the given matrix is skew-Hamiltonian, the transformation gives a solution of an antisymmetric…

Each element of the commutator subgroup of a group can be represented as a product of commutators. The minimal number of factors in such a product is called the commutator length of the element. The commutator length of a group is defined…

Following the works by Lin et al. (Circuits Syst. Signal Process. 20(6): 601-618, 2001) and Liu et al. (Circuits Syst. Signal Process. 30(3): 553-566, 2011), we investigate how to factorize a class of multivariate polynomial matrices. The…

Recently in symplectic geometry there arose an interest in bounding various functionals on spaces of matrices. It appears that Grothendieck's theorems about factorization are a useful tool for proving such bounds. In this note we present…

We construct analogs of the embedding of orthogonal and symplectic groups into unitary groups in the context of fusion categories. At least some of the resulting module categories also appear in boundary conformal field theory. We determine…

Let $D$ be the ring of integers of a quadratic number field $\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{d}]$. We study the factorizations of $2 \times 2$ matrices over $D$ into idempotent factors. When $d < 0$ there exist singular matrices that do not admit…

We obtain estimates on the character of the cohomology of an $S^1$-equivariant holomorphic vector bundle over a Kaehler manifold $M$ in terms of the cohomology of the Lerman symplectic cuts and the symplectic reduction of $M$. In…

We first prove semi-orthogonal decompositions of derived factorization categories arising from sums of potentials of gauged Landau-Ginzburg models, where the sums are not necessarily Thom--Sebastiani type. We then apply the result to the…

We introduce the notion of ungraded matrix factorization as a mirror of non-orientable Lagrangian submanifolds. An ungraded matrix factorization of a polynomial $W$, with coefficients in a field of characteristic 2, is a square matrix $Q$…

This paper is an introduction to polarizations in the symplectic and orthogonal settings. They arise in association to a triple of compatible structures on a real vector space, consisting of an inner product, a symplectic form, and a…
