The ordered eigenvalues define a Lipschitz map on the real vector space of Hermitian $d \times d$ matrices. We prove that this map acts continuously, but not uniformly continuously, by superposition on the Sobolev spaces $W^{1,q}$, for all…

Symplectic eigenvalues are conventionally defined for symmetric positive-definite matrices via Williamson's diagonal form. Many properties of standard eigenvalues, including the trace minimization theorem, are extended to the case of…

Finite dimensional modular Lie superalgebras over algebraically closed fields with indecomposable Cartan matrices are classified under some technical, most probably inessential, hypotheses. If the Cartan matrix is invertible, the…

We revisit the classic Wigner semi-circle from two different angles. One consists in studying the Stieltjes transform directly on the real axis, which does not converge to a fixed value but follows a Cauchy distribution that depends on the…

An infinite family of integrable vortex equations is studied and related to the Cartan geometry of the underlying Riemann surfaces. This Cartan picture gives an interpretation of the vortex equations as the flatness of a non-Abelian…

Starting from a self-dual formulation of gravity, we obtain a noncommutative theory of pure Einstein theory in four dimensions. In order to do that, we use Seiberg-Witten map. It is shown that the noncommutative torsion constraint is solved…

A Toeplitz matrix is one in which the matrix elements are constant along diagonals. The Fisher-Hartwig matrices are much-studied singular matrices in the Toeplitz family. The matrices are defined for all orders, $N$. They are parametrized…

The iterative algorithm recently proposed by Waxman for solving eigenvalue problems, which relies on the method of moments, has been modified to improve its convergence considerably without sacrificing its benefits or elegance. The…

Let ${\mathfrak{g}}$ be a complex semisimple Lie algebra with Borel subalgebra ${\mathfrak{b}}$ and corresponding nilradical ${\mathfrak{n}}$. We show that singular Whittaker modules $M$ are simple if and only if the space $\hbox{Wh}\,M$ of…

A method for successive synthesis of a Weyl matrix (or Dirichlet-to-Neumann map) of an arbitrary quantum tree is proposed. It allows one, starting from one boundary edge, to compute the Weyl matrix of a whole quantum graph by adding on new…

The $2^{nd}$ variation formula of the Seiberg-Witten functional is obtained in order to estimate the Morse index of redutible solutions $(A,0)$. It is shown that their Morse index is given by the dimension of the largest negative eigenspace…

Subspace iterations are used to minimise a generalised Ritz functional of a large, sparse Hermitean matrix. In this way, the lowest $m$ eigenvalues are determined. Tests with $1 \leq m \leq 32$ demonstrate that the computational cost (no.…
