Given a finite set $\{M_0,\dots,M_{d-1}\}$ of nonnegative $2\times 2$ matrices and a nonnegative column-vector $V$, we associate to each $(\omega_n)\in\{0,\dots,d-1\}^\mathbb N$ the sequence of the column-vectors…

It is shown that a $N\times N$ real symmetric [complex hermitian] positive definite matrix $V$ is congruent to a diagonal matrix modulo a pseudo-orthogonal [pseudo-unitary] matrix in $SO(m,n)$ [ $SU(m,n)$], for any choice of partition…

We characterize diagonals of unbounded self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space H that have only discrete spectrum, i.e., with empty essential spectrum. Our result extends the Schur-Horn theorem from a finite dimensional setting to an…

We identify a class of remarkable algebraic relations satisfied by the zeros of the Krall orthogonal polynomials that are eigenfunctions of linear differential operators of order higher than two. Given an orthogonal polynomial family…

Let $-\im\Lie_\T$ (essentially Lie derivative with respect to $\T$, a smooth nowhere zero real vector field) and $P$ be commuting differential operators, respectively of orders 1 and $m\geq 1$, the latter formally normal, both acting on…

In this article, we first consider the $L^{2}$ \textit{Morse-Novikov cohomology} on a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ equipped with a parallel $1$-form which includes Vaisman manifold. Based on a vanishing theorem of $L^{2}$…

In the framework of a real Hilbert space, we address the problem of finding the zeros of the sum of a maximally monotone operator $A$ and a cocoercive operator $B$. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the trajectories generated by a second…

A matrix is called totally negative (totally non-positive) of order $k$, if all its minors of size at most $k$ are negative (non-positive). The objective of this article is to provide several novel characterizations of total negativity via…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition on a positive compact operator $T$ for the existence of a singular trace (i.e. a trace vanishing on the finite rank operators) which takes a finite non-zero value on $T$. This generalizes…

For every symmetrically normed ideal $\mathcal{E}$ of compact operators, we give a criterion for the existence of a continuous singular trace on $\mathcal{E}$. We also give a criterion for the existence of a continuous singular trace on…

The inverses of indecomposable Cartan matrices are computed for finite-dimensional Lie algebras and Lie superalgebras over fields of any characteristic, and for hyperbolic (almost affine) complex Lie (super)algebras. We discovered three yet…

Let $(\Omega,{\mathcal F},P)$ be a probability space and $L^0({\mathcal F})$ the algebra of equivalence classes of real-valued random variables defined on $(\Omega,{\mathcal F},P)$. A left module $M$ over the algebra $L^0({\mathcal…

Let $\mathscr{M}$ be a $II_1$ factor acting on the Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}$, and $\mathscr{M}_{\textrm{aff}}$ be the Murray-von Neumann algebra of closed densely-defined operators affiliated with $\mathscr{M}$. Let $\tau$ denote the…

We study the presence of $L$-orthogonal elements in connection with Daugavet centers and narrow operators. We prove that, if $\dens(Y)\leq \omega_1$ and $G:X\longrightarrow Y$ is a Daugavet center, then $G(W)$ contains some $L$-orthogonal…

This paper is concerned with developing a theory of traces for functions that are integrable but need not possess any differentiability within their domain. Moreover, the domain can have an irregular boundary with cusp-like features and…

Given a graph $G$ with vertices $\{v_1,\ldots,v_n\}$, we define $\mathcal{S}(G)$ to be the set of symmetric matrices $A=[a_{i,j}]$ such that for $i\ne j$ we have $a_{i,j}\ne 0$ if and only if $v_iv_j\in E(G)$. Motivated by the Graph…

Given an arbitrary (commutative) field K, let V be a linear subspace of M_n(K) consisting of matrices of rank lesser than or equal to some r<n. A theorem of Atkinson and Lloyd states that, if dim V>nr-r+1 and #K>r, then either all the…

Let $\fld$ denote a field and $V$ denote a nonzero finite-dimensional vector space over $\fld$. We consider an ordered pair of linear transformations $A: V \to V$ and $A^*: V \to V$ that satisfy (i)--(iii) below. Each of $A, A^*$ is…

We consider unimodular matrices $M$ such that neither $M$ nor $M^{-1}$ contain zero entries. Matrices typically exhibit a trade-off: small $M$ imply large $M^{-1}$. We investigate rare cases where both remain small, classify these matrices…

Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group over a field $k$, and let $V$ be a $G$-module. Recall that the nullcone of $(G,V)$ is the set of points $v$ in $V$ with the property that $f(v)=0$ for every positive degree homogeneous invariant $f$ in…
