Commutators of Skew-Symmetric Matrices
In this paper we develop a theory for analysing the size of a Lie bracket or commutator in a matrix Lie algebra. Complete details are given for the Lie algebra so(n) of skew symmetric matrices. 1 Norms and commutators in Mn[R] and so(n) This paper is concerned with the following question. Let g be a Lie algebra (Carter, Segal & Macdonald 1995, Humphreys 1978, Varadarajan 1984). Given X,Y ∈ g an...
متن کاملPrincipally Unimodular Skew-Symmetric Matrices
A square matrix is principally unimodular if every principal submatrix has determinant 0 or 1. Let A be a symmetric (0; 1)-matrix, with a zero diagonal. A PU-orientation of A is a skew-symmetric signing of A that is PU. If A 0 is a PU-orientation of A, then, by a certain decomposition of A, we can construct every PU-orientation of A from A 0. This construction is based on the fact that the PU-o...
متن کاملOn skew-symmetric differentiation matrices
The theme of this paper is the construction of finite-difference approximations to the first derivative in the presence of Dirichlet boundary conditions. Stable implementation of splitting-based discretisation methods for the convectiondiffusion equation requires the underlying matrix to be skew symmetric and this turns out to be a surprisingly restrictive condition. We prove that no skewsymmet...
متن کاملHyperdeterminantal relations among symmetric principal minors
The principal minors of a symmetric n×n-matrix form a vector of length 2n. We characterize these vectors in terms of algebraic equations derived from the 2×2×2-hyperdeterminant.
متن کاملSet Theoretic Defining Equations of the Variety of Principal Minors of Symmetric Matrices
The variety of principal minors of n× n symmetric matrices, denoted Zn, is invariant under the action of a group G ⊂ GL(2) isomorphic to (SL(2)) ×Sn. We describe an irreducible G-module of degree 4 polynomials that cuts out Zn set theoretically. This solves the set-theoretic version of a conjecture of Holtz and Sturmfels.
