This short but self-contained survey presents a number of elegant matrix/operator inequalities for general convex or concave functions, obtained with a unitary orbit technique. Jensen, sub or super-additivity type inequalities are…
We show that certain determinantal functions of multiple matrices, when summed over the symmetries of the cube, decompose into functions of the original matrices. These are shown to be true in complete generality; that is, no properties of…
We improve and expand in two directions the theory of norms on complex matrices induced by random vectors. We first provide a simple proof of the classification of weakly unitarily invariant norms on the Hermitian matrices. We use this to…
We generalise the inference procedure for eigenvectors of symmetrizable matrices of Tyler (1981) to that of invariant and singular subspaces of non-diagonalizable matrices. Wald tests for invariant vectors and $t$-tests for their individual…
In arXiv:1607.06679, Marcus proved that certain functions of multiple matrices, when summed over the symmetries of the cube, decompose into functions of the original matrices. In this note, we generalize the results from the Marcus paper to…
We provide a short proof of the theorem that every real multivariate polynomial has a symmetric determinantal representation, which was first proved in J. W. Helton, S. A. McCullough, and V. Vinnikov, Noncommutative convexity arises from…
Given $n\times n$ symmetric matrices $A$ and $B$, Dines in 1941 proved that the joint range set $\{(x^TAx,x^TBx)|~x\in\mathbb{R}^n\}$ is always convex. Our paper is concerned with non-homogeneous extension of the Dines theorem for the range…
Given a function on diagonal matrices, there is a unique way to extend this to an invariant (by conjugation) function on symmetric matrices. We show that the extension preserves regularity -- that is, if the original function is k times…
Dorff, proved in [2] that the convolution of two harmonic right-half plane mappings is convex in the direction of real axis provided that the convolution is locally univalent and sense preserving. Later, it was shown in [3] that the…
We prove two results on convex subsets of Euclidean spaces invariant under an orthogonal group action. First, we show that invariant spectrahedra admit an equivariant spectrahedral description, i.e., can be described by an equivariant…
In what follows we improve an inequality related to matrix theory. T. Laffey proved (2013) a weaker form of this inequality [2].
Let X and Y be two nxn Hermitian matrices. In the article "Proof of a conjectured exponential formula" (Linear and Multilinear Algebra (19) 1986, 187-197) R. C. Thompson proved that there exist two nxn unitary matrices U and V such that $$…
We give a simple proof of Kolmogorov's theorem on the persistence of a quasiperiodic invariant torus in Hamiltonian systems. The theorem is first reduced to a well-posed inversion problem (Herman's normal form) by switching the frequency…
The problem of diagonalizing hermitian matrices of continuous fiunctions was studied by Grove and Pederson in 1984. While diagonalization is not possible in general, in the presence of differentiability conditions we are able to obtain…
A hermitian matrix can be parametrized by a set consisting of its determinant and the eigenvalues of its submatrices. We established a group of equations which connect these variables with the mixing parameters of diagonalization. These…
We prove ultradifferentiable Chevelley restriction theorems for a wide range of ultradifferentiable classes. As a special case we find that isotropic functions, i.e., functions defined on the vector space of real symmetric matrices…
Some rearrangement inequalities for symmetric norms on matrices are given as well as related results for operator convex functions.
In the present paper, we derive several conditions of linear combinations and convolutions of harmonic mappings to be univalent and convex in one direction, one of them gives a partial answer to an open problem proposed by Dorff. The…
The BMV conjecture states that for $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices $A$ and $B$ the function $f_{A,B}(t)=trace{\, } e^{tA+B}$ is exponentially convex. Recently the BMV conjecture was proved by Herbert Stahl. The proof of Herbert Stahl is…
