Let V be a vector space of dimension n over a field K and let Symm(V) denote the space of symmetric bilinear forms defined on V x V. Let M be a subspace of Symm(V). We investigate a variety of hypotheses concerning the rank of elements in M…

Let K be a field of characteristic different from 2 and let V be a vector space of dimension n over K. Let M be a non-zero subspace of symmetric bilinear forms defined on V x V and let r=rank(M) denote the set of different positive integers…

Let $K$ be a field and let $V$ be a vector space of dimension $n$ over $K$. Let $M$ be a subspace of bilinear forms defined on $V\times V$. Let $r$ be the number of different non-zero ranks that occur among the elements of $M$. Our aim is…

Let V be a vector space of dimension n over the finite field F_q, where q is odd, and let Symm(V) denote the space of symmetric bilinear forms defined on V x V. We investigate constant rank r subspaces of Symm(V) in this paper. We have…

K be a field and let m and n be positive integers, where m does not exceed n. We say that a non-zero subspace of m x n matrices over K is a constant rank r subspace if each non-zero element of the subspace has rank r, where r is a positive…

We obtain upper bounds, independent of the ambient dimension, for the number of realizable zero-nonzero patterns and (over ordered fields) sign conditions of a finite family of polynomials $\mathcal P$ restricted to an algebraic subset $V$…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field, and $n \geq p \geq r>0$ be integers. In a recent article, Rubei has determined, when $\mathbb{F}$ is the field of real numbers, the greatest possible dimension for an affine subspace of $n$--by--$p$ matrices…

Let K be a field admitting a cyclic Galois extension of degree n. The main result of this paper is a decomposition theorem for the space of alternating bilinear forms defined on a vector space of odd dimension n over K. We show that this…

Let A be a k-vector space of dimension a. A subvector space M of End(A) is said to be of rank r if every non-zero f in M has rank r. The problem considered in this paper is to determine l(r;a) the maximal dimension of a rank r subspace of…

For a nonempty compact set D of R we determine the maximal possible dimension of a subspace X of polynomial functions of degree at most m which possesses a positive bases (where positivity is understood on D). The exact value of this…

Let K be a field and let M_n(K) denote the space of n x n matrices with entries in K. Let M be a subspace of M_n(K) of dimension d with the property that there are elements in M with non-zero determinant. Given a basis of M, we define the…

We introduce a novel concept of rank for subsets of finite metric spaces E^n_q (the set of all n-dimensional vectors over an alphabet of size q) equipped with the Hamming distance, where the rank R(A) of a subset A is defined as the number…

Let $b$ be a symmetric or alternating bilinear form on a finite-dimensional vector space $V$. When the characteristic of the underlying field is not $2$, we determine the greatest dimension for a linear subspace of nilpotent $b$-symmetric…

Let V be a finite-dimensional vector space over a field k and let W be a 1-dimensional k-vector space. Let < , >: V x V \to W be a symmetric bilinear form. Then < , > is called anisotropic if for all nonzero v \in V we have <v,v> \neq 0.…

The maximal dimension of commutative subspaces of $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ is known. So is the structure of such a subspace when the maximal dimension is achieved. We consider extensions of these results and ask the following natural questions: If…

In this paper, for n a positve integer, we compute the number of n degree representations for a dihedral group G of order 2m, m \geq 3 and the dimensions of the corresponding spaces of G invariant bilinear forms over a complex field C. We…

Let $b$ be a symmetric bilinear form on a finite-dimensional vector space over a field with characteristic $2$. Here, we determine the greatest possible dimension of a linear subspace of nilpotent $b$-symmetric or $b$-alternating…

Let ${\mathbb V}$ be an $n$-dimensional linear space over an algebraically closed base field. We provide a classification, up to equivalence, of all of the bilinear maps $f:{\mathbb V} \times {\mathbb V} \to {\mathbb V}$ such that…

We construct and investigate certain (unbalanced) superalgebra structures on $\text{End}_K(V)$, with $K$ a field of characteristic $0$ and $V$ a finite dimensional $K$-vector space (of dimension $n\geq 2$). These structures are induced by a…

Matrices of rank at most k are defined by the vanishing of polynomials of degree k + 1 in their entries (namely, their (k + 1)-times-(k + 1)-subdeterminants), regardless of the size of the matrix. We prove a qualitative analogue of this…
