Given a conjugation C on separable complex Hilbert space H, bounded linear operator T H is said to be C-skew symmetric if CTC = -T*. This paper describes the maps, algebra of all operators acting that preserve difference for every H.

A relativistic modified gravity (MOG) called Scalar-Tensor-Vector Gravity (STVG) desribes a self-consistent, stable gravity theory that contains Einstein’s general relativity in a well-defined limit. The theory has an extra degree of freedom, a vector field called a “phion” field whose curl is a skew symmetric field that couples to matter (“fifth force”). The spacetime geometry is described by ...

The sensitivity of a multiple eigenvalue of a matrix under perturbations can be measured by its Hölder condition number. Various extensions of this concept are considered. A meaningful notion of structured Hölder condition numbers is introduced and it is shown that many existing results on structured condition numbers for simple eigenvalues carry over to multiple eigenvalues. The structures inv...

Many social phenomena involve a set of dyadic relations among agents whose actions may be dependent. Although individualistic approaches have frequently been applied to analyze social processes, these are not generally concerned with dyadic relations, nor do they deal with dependency. This article describes a mathematical procedure for analyzing dyadic interactions in a social system. The propo...

Abstract. Previously, self-dual codes have been constructed from weighing matrices, and in particular from conference matrices (skew and symmetric). In this paper, codes constructed from matrices of skew symmetric type whose determinants reach the EhlichWojtas’ bound are presented. A necessary and sufficient condition for these codes to be self-dual is given, and examples are provided for lengt...

We classify the connected pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature (p, q) with q ≥ 5 so that at each point of M the skew-symmetric curvature operator has constant rank 2 and constant Jordan normal form on the set of spacelike 2 planes and so that the skew-symmetric curvature operator is not nilpotent for at least one point of M .

We establish an information theoretic inequality concerning the binary skew-symmetric broadcast channel that was conjectured by one of the authors. This inequality helps to quantify the gap between the sum rate obtained by the inner bound and outer bound for the binary skew-symmetric broadcast channel.
