AbstractLet n = 2m be even and denote by Spn(F) the symplectic group of rank m over an infinite field F of characteristic different from 2. We show that any n × n symmetric matrix A is equivalent under symplectic congruence transformations to the direct sum of m × m matrices B and C, with B diagonal andC tridiagonal. Since the Spn(F)-module of symmetric n × n matrices over F is isomorphic to the adjoint module spn(F), we infer that any adjoint orbit of Spn(F) in spn(F) has a representative in the sum of 3m − 1 root spaces, which we explicitly determine.

Abstract Given a combinatorially symmetric matrix A whose graph is a tree T and its eigenvalues, edges in T can be classified in four categories, based upon the change in geometric multiplicity of a particular eigenvalue, when the edge is removed. We investigate a necessary and sufficient condition for each classification of edges. We have similar results as the case for real symmetric matrices whose graph is a tree. We show that a g-2-Parter edge, a g-Parter edge and a g-downer edge are located separately from each other in a tree, and there is a g-neutral edge between them. Furthermore, we show that the distance between a g-downer edge and a g-2-Parter edge or a g-Parter edge is at least 2 in a tree. Lastly we give a combinatorially symmetric matrix whose graph contains all types of edges.

Let k be an infinite field and A a standard G-algebra. This means that there exists a positive integer n such that A = R/I where R is the polynomial ring R := k[Xv …, Xn] and I is an homogeneous ideal of R. Thus the additive group of A has a direct sum decomposition A = ⊕ At where AiAj ⊆ Ai+j. Hence, for every t ≥ 0, At is a finite-dimensional vector space over k. The Hilbert Function of A is defined by

We consider the algebra of invariants of [Formula: see text]-tuples of [Formula: see text] matrices under the action of the orthogonal group by simultaneous conjugation over an infinite field of characteristic [Formula: see text] different from two. It is well known that this algebra is generated by the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of all products of generic and transpose generic [Formula: see text] matrices. We establish that in case [Formula: see text] the maximal degree of indecomposable invariants tends to infinity as [Formula: see text] tends to infinity. In other words, there does not exist a constant [Formula: see text] such that it only depends on [Formula: see text] and the considered algebra of invariants is generated by elements of degree less than [Formula: see text] for any [Formula: see text]. This result is well-known in case of the action of the general linear group. On the other hand, for the rest of [Formula: see text] the given phenomenon does not hold. We investigate the same problem for the cases of symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices.

AbstractAn algebra A is homogeneous if the automorphism group of A acts transitively on the one dimensional subspaces of A. Suppose A is a homogeneous algebra over an infinite field k. Let La denote left multiplication by any nonzero element a ∈ A. Several results are proved concerning the structure of A in terms of La. In particular, it is shown that A decomposes as the direct sum A = ker La Im La. These results are then successfully applied to the problem of classifying the infinite homogeneous algebras of small dimension.

AbstractIn the last six lines of Turnbull's 1948 paper, he left an enigmatic statement on a Capelli-type identity for skew-symmetric matrix spaces. In the present paper, on Turnbull's suggestion, we show that certain Capelli-type identities hold for this case. Our formulae connect explicitly the central elements inU(gln) to the invariant differential operators, both of which are expressed with permanent. This also clarifies the meaning of Turnbull's statement from the Lie-theoretic point of view.

In this paper, we give an application of the perturbation inequality to the low rank matrix recovery problem and provide a condition on the linear map of underdetermined linear system that every minimal rank symmetric matrix [Formula: see text] can be exactly recovered from the linear measurement [Formula: see text] via some Schatten [Formula: see text] norm minimization. Moreover it is shown that the explicit bound on exponent [Formula: see text] in the Schatten [Formula: see text] norm minimization can be exactly extracted.

In this paper, we describe explicitly the LU -factorization of a symmetric matrix of order n with n ≤ 7 when each of its ordered principal minors is nonzero. By using this result and some other related results on non-singularity previously given by Smith, Beslin, Hong, Lee and Ligh in the literature, we establish several theorems concerning LU -factorizations of power GCD matrices, power LCM matrices and reciprocal power GCD matrices and reciprocal power LCM matrices.

In the domain of real symmetric matrices ordered by the positive definiteness criterion, the symmetric matrix Riccati differential equation has the unusual property of preserving the ordering of its solutions as the independent variable changes, Here is is shown that, subject to a continuity restriction, the Riccati equation is unique among comparable equations in possessing this property.

In this paper, Cayley formula is derived for 4 × 4 semi-skew-symmetric real matrices in [Formula: see text]. For this purpose, we use the decomposition of a semi-skew-symmetric matrix A = θ1A1 + θ2A2 by two unique semi-skew-symmetric matrices A1 and A2 satisfying the properties [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] Then, we find Lorentzian rotation matrices with semi-skew-symmetric matrices by Cayley formula. Furthermore, we give a way to find the semi-skew-symmetric matrix A for a given Lorentzian rotation matrix R such that R = Cay (A).
