Jacobi Sum Matrices

چکیده
In this article we identify several beautiful properties of Jacobi sums that become evident when these numbers are organized as a matrix and studied via the tools of linear algebra. In the process we reconsider a convention employed in computing Jacobi sum values by illustrating how these properties become less elegant or disappear entirely when the standard definition for Jacobi sums is utilized. We conclude with a conjecture regarding polynomials that factor in an unexpected manner. 1. JACOBI SUMS. Carl Jacobi’s formidable mathematical legacy includes such contributions as the Jacobi triple product, the Jacobi symbol, the Jacobi elliptic functions with associated Jacobi amplitudes, and the Jacobian in the change of variables theorem, to but scratch the surface. Among his many discoveries, Jacobi sums stand out as one of the most brilliant gems. Very informally, a Jacobi sum adds together certain roots of unity in a manner prescribed by the arithmetic structure of the finite field on which it is based. (We will supply a precise definition momentarily.) For a given finite field a Jacobi sum depends on two parameters, so it is natural to assemble these values into a matrix. We have done so below for the Jacobi sums arising from the field with eight elements. We invite the reader to study this collection of numbers and identify as many properties as are readily apparent.

Sum Rules for Jacobi Matrices and Their Applications to Spectral Theory
We discuss the proof of and systematic application of Case’s sum rules for Jacobi matrices. Of special interest is a linear combination of two of his sum rules which has strictly positive terms. Among our results are a complete classification of the spectral measures of all Jacobi matrices J for which J − J0 is Hilbert–Schmidt, and a proof of Nevai’s conjecture that the Szegő condition holds if...

We show that various Hamiltonians and Jacobi matrices have no absolutely continuous spectrum by showing that under a trace class perturbation they become a direct sum of finite matrices.

This paper aims to construct a general formulation for the shifted Jacobi operational matrices of integration and product. The main aim is to generalize the Jacobi integral and product operational matrices to the solving system of Fredholm and Volterra integro--differential equations which appear in various fields of science such as physics and engineering. The Operational matr...
متن کاملA Canonical Factorization for Meromorphic Herglotz Functions on the Unit Disk and Sum Rules for Jacobi Matrices
We prove a general canonical factorization for meromorphic Herglotz functions on the unit disk whose notable elements are that there is no restriction (other than interlacing) on the zeros and poles for their Blaschke product to converge and there is no singular inner function. We use this result to provide a significant simplification in the proof of Killip-Simon [5] of their result characteri...
متن کاملSum Rules and the Szegő Condition for Orthogonal Polynomials on the Real Line
We study the Case sum rules, especially C0, for general Jacobi matrices. We establish situations where the sum rule is valid. Applications include an extension of Shohat’s theorem to cases with an infinite point spectrum and a proof that if lim n(an− 1) = α and lim nbn = β exist and 2α < |β|, then the Szegő condition fails.
