Horn's problem, i.e., the study of the eigenvalues of the sum $C=A+B$ of two matrices, given the spectrum of $A$ and of $B$, is re-examined, comparing the case of real symmetric, complex Hermitian and self-dual quaternionic $3\times 3$…

In a recent paper [J.Math.Phys. vol42, 2236-2265 (2001)], we discussed differential operators within a quaternionic formulation of quantum mechanics. In particular, we proposed a practical method to solve quaternionic and complex linear…

The exceptional euclidean Jordan algebra of 3x3 hermitian octonionic matrices, appears to be tailor made for the internal space of the three generations of quarks and leptons. The maximal rank subgroup of its automorphism group F4 that…

In this paper, we calculate the Jordan decomposition (or say, the Jordan canonical form) for a class of non-symmetric Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators with the drift coefficient matrix being a Jordan block and the diffusion coefficient matrix…

The matrix models attached to real symmetric matrices and the complex/quaternionic Hermitian matrices have been studied by many authors. These models correspond to three of the simple formally real Jordan algebras over R. Such algebras were…

Estimating the eigenvalues of non-normal matrices is a foundational problem with far-reaching implications, from modeling non-Hermitian quantum systems to analyzing complex fluid dynamics. Yet, this task remains beyond the reach of standard…

Conjugation covariants of matrices are applied to study the real algebraic variety consisting of complex Hermitian matrices with a bounded number of distinct eigenvalues. A minimal generating system of the vanishing ideal of degenerate…

We revisit the octonionic eigenvalue problem from a geometric perspective. In particular, we study a tautological sheaf defined on a sextic related to this problem, the Ogievetski\^i-Dray-Manogue sextic. We then define and study a twisted…

Solving linear systems and computing eigenvalues are two fundamental problems in linear algebra. For solving linear systems, many efficient quantum algorithms have been discovered. For computing eigenvalues, currently, we have efficient…

The complex-valued quantum mechanics considers quantum motion on the complex plane instead of on the real axis, and studies the variations of a particle complex position, momentum and energy along a complex trajectory. On the basis of…

For a given polynomial $V(x)\in \mathbb C[x]$, a random matrix eigenvalues measure is a measure $\prod_{1\leq i<j\leq N}(x_i-x_j)^2 \prod_{i=1}^N e^{-V(x_i)}dx_i$ on $\gamma^N$. Hermitian matrices have real eigenvalues $\gamma=\mathbb R$,…

The product of a Hermitian matrix and a positive semidefinite matrix has only real eigenvalues. We present bounds for sums of eigenvalues of such a product.

This is a transcription of a conference proceedings from 1985. It reviews the Jordan algebra formulation of quantum mechanics. A possible novelty is the discussion of time evolution; the associator takes over the role of $i$ times the…

Three ways of constructing a non-Hermitian matrix with possible all real eigenvalues are discussed. They are PT symmetry, pseudo-Hermiticity, and generalized PT symmetry. Parameter counting is provided for each class. All three classes of…

Building on previous work that provided analytical solutions to generalised matrix eigenvalue problems arising from numerical discretisations, this paper develops exact eigenvalues and eigenvectors for a broader class of $n$-dimensional…

We propose two different strategies to find eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a given, not necessarily Hermitian, matrix $A$. Our methods apply also to the case of complex eigenvalues, making the strategies interesting for applications to…

This paper establishes new upper bounds for the right eigenvalues of monic matrix polynomials over the quaternion division algebra. The noncommutative nature of quaternion multiplication presents fundamental challenges in eigenvalue…

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…

We characterize the relationship between the singular values of a complex Hermitian (resp., real symmetric, complex symmetric) matrix and the singular values of its off-diagonal block. We also characterize the eigenvalues of an Hermitian…

Here we demonstrate the emergence of Grassmann variables in matrix models based on the exceptional Jordan algebra. The Grassmann algebras are built naturally using the octonion algebra. We argue the appearance of Grassmann variables…
