Given two nilpotent endomorphisms, we determine when their lattices of hyperinvariant subspaces are isomorphic. The study of the lattice of hyperinvariant subspaces can be reduced to the nilpotent case when the endomorphism has a…

A linear Lie rack structure on a finite dimensional vector space $V$ is a Lie rack operation $(x,y)\mapsto x\rhd y$ pointed at the origin and such that for any $x$, the left translation $\mathrm{L}_x:y\mapsto \mathrm{L}_x(y)= x\rhd y$ is…

In this paper, we define two relations one by orthogonality in vector lattices named as strong relation and the other by bounded linear functionals in normed spaces named as weak relation. It turns out that strong relation is an equivalence…

Let $V$ be a finite-dimensional vector space over the finite field ${\mathbb F}_q$ and suppose $W$ and $\widetilde{W}$ are subspaces of $V$. Two linear transformations $T:W\to V$ and $\widetilde{T}:\widetilde{W}\to V$ are said to be similar…

Let $\Phi$, $\Phi'$ be Leonard systems over a field $\mathbb{K}$, and $V$, $V'$ the vector spaces underlying $\Phi$, $\Phi'$, respectively. In this paper, we introduce and discuss a balanced bilinear form on $V\times V'$. Such a form…

This paper is a modern exposition of old ideas. The setting is a Euclidian space $E$ of dimension $n$ with associated vector space $V$ of dimension $n$. A (non-zero) sliding vector is a vector in $V$ that is free to move, but only within a…

Any sufficiently often differentiable curve in the orbit space $V/G$ of a real finite-dimensional orthogonal representation $G \to O(V)$ of a finite group $G$ admits a differentiable lift into the representation space $V$ with locally…

We study the combinatorial description of the LDU decomposition of totally positive matrices. We give a description of the lower triangular L, the diagonal D, and the upper triangular U matrices of the LDU decomposition of totally positive…

The paper is divided into two parts. In the first part we lay down the foundation for defining the joint annihilation-preservation-creation decomposition of a finite family of, not necessarily commutative random variables, and show that…

Consider a unital C*-algebra A, a von Neumann algebra M, a unital sub-C*-algebra C of A and a unital *-homomorphism $\pi$ from C to M. Let u: A --> M be a decomposable map (i.e. a linear combination of completely positive maps) which is a…

A double algebra is a linear space $V$ equipped with linear map $V\otimes V\to V\otimes V$. Additional conditions on this map lead to the notions of Lie and associative double algebras. We prove that simple finite-dimensional Lie double…

A q-design with parameters t-(v,k,lambda_t)_q is a pair (V, B) of the v-dimensional vector space V over GF(q) and a collection B of k-dimensional subspaces of V, such that each t-dimensional subspace of V is contained in precisely lambda_t…

It is known that if $(A,B)$ is a Leonard pair, then the linear transformations $A$, $B$ satisfy the Askey-Wilson relations A^2 B - b A B A + B A^2 - g (A B+B A) - r B = h A^2 + w A + e I, B^2 A - b B A B + A B^2 - h (A B+B A) - s A = g B^2…

Given a bicovariant differential calculus $(\mathcal{E}, d)$ such that the braiding map is diagonalisable in a certain sense, the bimodule of two-tensors admits a direct sum decomposition into symmetric and anti-symmetric tensors. This is…

We introduce ballot matrices, a signed combinatorial structure whose definition naturally follows from the generating function for labeled interval orders. A sign reversing involution on ballot matrices is defined. We show that matrices…

Vertical decomposition is a widely used general technique for decomposing the cells of arrangements of semi-algebraic sets in $d$-space into constant-complexity subcells. In this paper, we settle in the affirmative a few long-standing open…

We study copositive matrices which admit a decomposition into a sum of a positive semidefinite matrix and a matrix with nonnegative entries. Our main result shows that if the off-diagonal entries of a copositive matrix are nondecreasing in…

A simple ansatz is proposed for two-color R-matrix satisfying the tetrahedron equation. It generalizes, on one hand, a particular case of the eight-vertex model to three dimensions, and on another hand - Hietarinta's permutation-type…

We present a matrix version of a known method of constructing common eigenvectors of two diagonalizable commuting matrices, thus enabling their simultaneous diagonalization. The matrices may have simple eigenvalues of multiplicity greater…

We determine the irreducible components of the space of 3x3 matrices of linear forms with vanishing determinant. We show that there are four irreducible components and we identify them concretely. In particular, under elementary row and…
