We study Hermitian random matrix models with an external source matrix which has equispaced eigenvalues, and with an external field such that the limiting mean density of eigenvalues is supported on a single interval as the dimension tends…
The octonions are one of the four normed division algebras, together with the real, complex and quaternion number systems. The latter three hold a primary place in random matrix theory, where in applications to quantum physics they are…
The search for a canonical set of eigenvectors of the discrete Fourier transform has been ongoing for more than three decades. The goal is to find an orthogonal basis of eigenvectors which would approximate Hermite functions -- the…

A real symmetric tensor is orthogonally decomposable (or odeco) if it can be written as a linear combination of symmetric powers of $n$ vectors which form an orthonormal basis of $\mathbb R^n$. Motivated by the spectral theorem for real…
In this paper we explore orthogonal systems in $\mathrm{L}_2(\mathbb{R})$ which give rise to a skew-Hermitian, tridiagonal differentiation matrix. Surprisingly, allowing the differentiation matrix to be complex leads to a particular family…
In this work we present a framework for studying the eigenvalues of a family of matrices with a particular displacement structure. The family admits a specific decomposition as the product of an upper and a lower triangular matrices having…

We study the sensitivity of the eigenvectors of random matrices, showing that even small perturbations make the eigenvectors almost orthogonal. More precisely, we consider two deformed Wigner matrices $W+D_1$, $W+D_2$ and show that their…
The method of computing eigenvectors from eigenvalues of submatrices can be shown as equivalent to a method of computing the constraint which achieves specified stationary values of a quadratic optimization. Similarly, we show computation…
According to celebrated Hurwitz theorem, there exists four division algebras consisting of R (real numbers), C (complex numbers), H (quaternions) and O (octonions). Keeping in view the utility of octonion variable we have tried to extend…
The eigenvector-eigenvalue identity relates the eigenvectors of a Hermitian matrix to its eigenvalues and the eigenvalues of its principal submatrices in which the jth row and column have been removed. We show that one-dimensional arrays of…
The problem of constructing an orthogonal set of eigenvectors for a DFT matrix is well studied. An elegant solution is mentioned by Matveev in his paper "Interwining relations between the Fourier transfom and discrete Fourier transform, the…
We introduce a natural notion of determinant in matrix JB$^*$-algebras, i.e., for hermitian matrices of biquaternions and for hermitian $3\times 3$ matrices of complex octonions. We establish several properties of these determinants which…
In 1934, Jordan et al. gave a necessary algebraic condition, the Jordan identity, for a sensible theory of quantum mechanics. All but one of the algebras that satisfy this condition can be described by Hermitian matrices over the complexes…
There exist many ways to build an orthonormal basis of $\mathbb{R}^N$, consisting of the eigenvectors of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). In this paper we show that there is only one such orthonormal eigenbasis of the DFT that is…
An orthonormal basis matrix $X$ of a subspace ${\cal X}$ is known not to be unique, unless there are some kinds of normalization requirements. One of them is to require that $X^{\rm T}D$ is positive semi-definite, where $D$ is a constant…
