Let F be a field and m,n be integers m,n > 3. Let SMn(F) and STn(F) denote the linear space of n × n per-symmetric matrices over F and the linear space of n × n per-symmetric triangular matrices over F, respectively. In this note, the structure of spaces of bounded rank-two matrices of STn(F) is determined. Using this structural result, a classification of bounded rank-two linear preservers ψ :...

We investigate the properties of bounded operators which satisfy a certain spectral additivity condition, and use our results to study Lie and Jordan algebras of compact operators. We prove that these algebras have nontrivial invariant subspaces when their elements have sublinear or submultiplicative spectrum, and when they satisfy simple trace conditions. In certain cases we show that these co...

We characterize the initial terms under a diagonal term order of the supersymmetric Schur/Weyl module S(V V ) associated to a row-convex shape D. We show the biwords corresponding to the initial terms of S are closed under dual-Knuth equivalence and that the recording tableaux for these words are decomposable in the sense of [10]. We consider the natural action of bases of S in which the elemen...

We study the large scale geometry of the upper triangular subgroup of PSL2(Z[ 1 n ]), which arises naturally in a geometric context. We prove a quasi-isometry classification theorem and show that these groups are quasi-isometrically rigid with infinite dimensional quasi-isometry group. We generalize our results to a larger class of groups which are metabelian and are higher dimensional analogue...

In this paper, we investigate the recently defined notion of inverse along an element in the context of matrices over a ring. Precisely, we study the inverse of a matrix along a lower triangular matrix, under some conditions.

For the all-ones lower triangular matrices, the upper and lower bounds on rigidity are known to match [13]. In this short note, we apply these techniques to the allones extended lower triangular matrices, to obtain upper and lower bounds with a small gap between the two; we show that the rigidity is θ( 2 r ).
