In this talk we show that any spherically symmetric spacetime admits locally a maximal spacelike slicing. The above condition is reduced to solve a decoupled system of first order quasi-linear partial differential equations. The solution…

Let M be an irreducible Riemannian symmetric space. The index i(M) of M is the minimal codimension of a totally geodesic submanifold of M. In previous work the authors proved that i(M) is bounded from below by the rank rk(M) of M. In this…

In this short note we prove a lemma about the dimension of certain algebraic sets of matrices. This result is needed in our paper arXiv:1201.1672. The result presented here has also applications in other situations and so it should appear…

We devise a method that reduces the problem of classifying systems of forms and linear mappings to the problem of classifying systems of linear mappings. Canonical matrices of (i) bilinear or sesquilinear forms, (ii) pairs of symmetric,…

In this paper we generalize the notion of discriminant for symmetric matrices and some results about it to the case of symmetric spaces.

We give a characterization for the extreme points of the convex set of correlation matrices with a countable index set. A Hermitian matrix is called a correlation matrix if it is positive semidefinite with unit diagonal entries. Using the…

We prove some new bounds for the size of the maximal dissociated subset of structured (having small sumset, large energy and so on) subsets A of an abelian group.

In this paper we expose our main results about rank problems concerning persymmetric matrices over F_2 associated to some exponential sums.

We establish, for a generically big Hermitian line bundle, the convergence of truncated Harder-Narasimhan polygons and the uniform continuity of the limit. As applications, we prove a conjecture of Moriwaki asserting that the arithmetic…

By making use of the classification of real simple Lie algebra, we get the maximum of the squared length of restricted roots case by case, thus we get the upper bounds of sectional curvature for irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces of…

Recently, the first author together with Jens Marklof studied generalizations of the classical three distance theorem to higher dimensional toral rotations, giving upper bounds in all dimensions for the corresponding numbers of distances…

Motivated by questions arising in signal processing, computational complexity, and other areas, we study the ranks and border ranks of symmetric tensors using geometric methods. We provide improved lower bounds for the rank of a symmetric…

We obtain using exponential quadratic sums, explicit expressions for the number of triple persymmetric matrices over F_2 of given rank. (A matrix [a(i,j)] is persymmetric if a(i,j) = a(r,s) for i+j = r+s)

Let $\Gamma_n(\mathcal{\scriptstyle{O}}_{\mathbb{K}})$ denote the Hermitian modular group of degree $n$ over an imaginary quadratic number field $\mathbb{K}$ and $\Delta_{n,\mathbb{K}}^*$ its maximal discrete extension in the special…

In this paper, we investigate the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function on non-commutative symmetric spaces. We complete the results of T. Bekjan and J. Shao. Moreover, we refine the main results of the papers \cite{Bek} and \cite{Sh}.

We study linear spaces of symmetric matrices whose reciprocal is also a linear space. These are Jordan algebras. We classify such algebras in low dimensions, and we study the associated Jordan loci in the Grassmannian.

In a recent paper ([1],[2]) we have classified explicitely all the unitary highest weight representations of non compact real forms of semisimple Lie Algebras on Hermitian symmetric space. These results are necessary in order to construct…

Let $\mathbb F$ be a field of characteristic not $2$, and let $(A,B)$ be a pair of $n\times n$ matrices over $\mathbb F$, in which $A$ is symmetric and $B$ is skew-symmetric. A canonical form of $(A,B)$ with respect to congruence…

This paper is concerned with two extremal problems from matrix analysis. One is about approximating the top eigenspaces of a Hermitian matrix and the other one about approximating the orthonormal polar factor of a general matrix. Tight…

Let $n>m$, and let $A$ be an $(m\times n)$-matrix of full rank. Then obviously the estimate $\|Ax\|\leq\|A\|\|x\|$ holds for the euclidean norm of $x$ and $Ax$ and the spectral norm as the assigned matrix norm. We study the sets of all $x$…
