A Strange Phenomenon for the Singular Values of Commutators with Rank One Matrices∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
The singular values of XY − Y X are the objects under investigation. Here, X and Y are square matrices with complex entries, and one of them has rank one. Hence, there are at most two non-trivial numbers among the commutator’s singular values, and the pairs of interest can be depicted in the plane. The emphasis will lie on the unexpectedly intriguing case in which both matrices are of rank one – because the result then is astonishingly complex, and the problem gives rise to interpretations unveiling geometry acting in the background.

متن کاملSingular value inequalities for positive semidefinite matrices
In this note, we obtain some singular values inequalities for positive semidefinite matrices by using block matrix technique. Our results are similar to some inequalities shown by Bhatia and Kittaneh in [Linear Algebra Appl. 308 (2000) 203-211] and [Linear Algebra Appl. 428 (2008) 2177-2191].
متن کاملWeak log-majorization inequalities of singular values between normal matrices and their absolute values
This paper presents two main results that the singular values of the Hadamard product of normal matrices $A_i$ are weakly log-majorized by the singular values of the Hadamard product of $|A_{i}|$ and the singular values of the sum of normal matrices $A_i$ are weakly log-majorized by the singular values of the sum of $|A_{i}|$. Some applications to these inequalities are also given. In addi...
متن کاملAsymptotic Invariants of Groups
Nir Avni Counting representations of arithmetic groups I’ll talk about the rate of growth of the number of d-dimensional representations of a higher-rank arithmetic group G(Z), as d tends to infinity. This asymptotics is related to the distribution of random commutators in the congruence quotients of G(Z), the singular values of random matrices in Lie(G), and the geometry of the character varie...
متن کاملSingular values of convex functions of matrices
Let $A_{i},B_{i},X_{i},i=1,dots,m,$ be $n$-by-$n$ matrices such that $sum_{i=1}^{m}leftvert A_{i}rightvert ^{2}$ and $sum_{i=1}^{m}leftvert B_{i}rightvert ^{2}$ are nonzero matrices and each $X_{i}$ is positive semidefinite. It is shown that if $f$ is a nonnegative increasing convex function on $left[ 0,infty right) $ satisfying $fleft( 0right) =0 $, then $$2s_{j}left( fleft( fra...
