Rank one preservers between spaces of Boolean matrices

In this paper, we characterize (i) linear transformations from one space of Boolean matrices to another that send pairs of distinct rank one elements to pairs of distinct rank one elements and (ii) surjective mappings from one space of Boolean matrices to another that send rank one matrices to rank one matrices and preserve order relation in both directions. Both results are proved in a more general setting of tensor products of two Boolean vector spaces of arbitrary dimension.     

Weighted Moore-Penrose inverses and fundamental theorem of even-order tensors with Einstein product

We treat even-order tensors with Einstein product as linear operators from tensor space to tensor space, define the null spaces and the ranges of tensors, and study their relationship. We extend the fundamental theorem of linear algebra for matrix spaces to tensor spaces. Using the new relationship, we characterize the least-squares (?) solutions to a multilinear system and establish the relationship between the minimum-norm (N) least-squares (?) solution of a multilinear system and the weighted Moore-Penrose inverse of its coefficient tensor. We also investigate a class of even-order tensors induced by matrices and obtain some interesting properties.     

Bijective linear rank preservers for spaces of matrices over antinegative semirings

We classify the bijective linear operators on spaces of matrices over antinegative commutative semirings with no zero divisors which preserve certain rank functions such as the symmetric rank, the factor rank and the tropical rank. We also classify the bijective linear operators on spaces of matrices over the max-plus semiring which preserve the Gondran-Minoux row rank or the Gondran-Minoux column rank.     

Invariants of linear maps on matrix algebras

Let L be a linear map on the space of n×n matrices over a field. We determine the structure of the maps L that preserve commutativity. We also determine the structure of all linear maps on complex matrices that preserve the higher numerical range. The main tool is the Fundamental Theorem of Projective Geometry.

On the Rational Canonical Form of a Matrix

Let L be a linear map on the space of n×n matrices over a field. We determine the structure of the maps L that preserve commutativity. We also determine the structure of all linear maps on complex matrices that preserve the higher numerical range. The main tool is the Fundamental Theorem of Projective Geometry.     

The direct product permuting matrices

A new matrix product is defined and its properties are investigated. The commutatuion matrix which flips a left direct product of two matrices into a right direct one is derived as a composition of two identity matrices. The communication matrix is a special case of the direct product permuting matrices defined in this paper which are matrix representations of the permutation operators on tensor spaces i e. the linear mappings which permute the order of the vectors in a direct product of them. Explicit expressions for these matrices are given. properties of the matrices are investigated and it is shown how these matrices, act on various representations of tensor spaces.     

Chapter 2:rank and tensor rank

Let Vbe a vector space of matrices over a field and ka fixed positive integer. In this chapter we first survey results concerning linear maps on certain types of Vthat preserve one of the following:(a) the set of rank kmatrices, (b) the set of matrices of rank less than k. We next survey results concerning linear maps on certain symmetry classes of tensors that preserve nonzero decomposable elements.

Linear Maps Preserving Idempotency of Products of Matrices on Upper Triangular Matrix Algebras

Let Tn be the algebra of all n × n complex upper triangular matrices. We give the concrete forms of linear injective maps on Tn which preserve the nonzero idempotency of either products of two matrices or triple Jordan products of two matrices.     

Refinable maps in dimension theory

This paper studies properties of refinable maps and contains applications to dimension theory. It is proved that refinable maps between compact Hausdorff spaces preserve covering dimension exactly and do not raise small cohomological dimension with any coefficient group. The notion of a c-refinable map is introduced and is shown to play a comparable role in the setting of normal spaces. For example, c-refinable maps between normal spaces are shown to preserve covering dimension and S-weak infinite-dimensionality. These facts do not hold for refinable maps.     

Multilinearity partitions of characters of embedded groups *

We show that a well-known polarization formula for Hermitian inner products on complex vector spaces generalizes to the case of inner products on Clifford modules. This observation allows us to conclude that norm-preserving linear maps of Clifford modules necessarily preserve the inner product. These results hold for modules over the quaternious as a special case.     

On linear preservers of normal maps

We study group induced cone (GIC) orderings generating normal maps. Examples of normal maps cover, among others, the eigenvalue map on the space of n × n Hermitian matrices as well as the singular value map on n × n complex matrices. In this paper, given two linear spaces equipped with GIC orderings induced by groups of orthogonal operators, we investigate linear operators preserving normal maps of the orderings. A characterization of the preservers is obtained in terms of the groups. The result is applied to show that the normal structure of the spaces is preserved under the action of the operators. In addition, examples are given.     

Transformations on tensor spaces II

We prove that a linear map of one tensor product space to another sending decomposable tensors to decomposable tensors is essentially a tensor product of linear maps of products of component factors of the domain into a selection of the factors of the range. The product of those factors of the domain not involved in the above is collapsed via a linear functional, and those factors in the range left out of the above provide a common factor in the range. In the statement of the main theorem the flanking maps are induced by permutations of the factors of the domain and the range and they present the products in manageable form. It is assumed that the underlying field has at least five members, but the necessity of this assumption is not settled. All vector spaces are finite dimensional and the tensor products have finitely many components.     

A polarization formula for clifford modules

We show that a well-known polarization formula for Hermitian inner products on complex vector spaces generalizes to the case of inner products on Clifford modules. This observation allows us to conclude that norm-preserving linear maps of Clifford modules necessarily preserve the inner product. These results hold for modules over the quaternious as a special case.     

Maps and f-normal spaces

It has long been known that hyper-real maps preserve realcompactness. In this paper we show that hyper-real maps preserve nearly realcompactness as well. We will also introduce the concepts of ε-perfect maps and f-normal spaces and explore them in a way that mirrors Rayburn's 1978 study of δ-perfect maps and h-normal spaces.     

Combinatorial formulas for certain sequences of multiple numbers

Duke and the second author defined a family of linear maps from spaces of weakly holomorphic modular forms of negative integral weight and level 1 into spaces of weakly holomorphic modular forms of half-integral weight and level 4 and showed that these lifts preserve the integrality of Fourier coefficients. We show that the generalization of these lifts to modular forms of genus 0 odd prime level also preserves the integrality of Fourier coefficients.     

Stable maps of Polish spaces

We define the notions of stable and transquotient maps and study the relation between these classes of maps. The class of stable maps contains all closed and open maps and their compositions. The transquotient maps preserve the property of being a Polish space, and every stable map between separable metric spaces is transquotient.

In particular, a composition of closed and open maps (the intermediary spaces may not be metric) preserves the property of being a Polish space. This generalizes the results of Sierpinski and Vainstein for open and closed maps.

     

Linear operators preserving certain functions on singular values of matrices

We study the structure of those linear operators on the rectangular complex or real matrix spaces that preserve certain functions on singular values. We first do a brief survey on the existing results in the area and then prove a theorem which covers and extends all of them. In particular. our theorem confirms two conjectures about the structure of those linear operators preserving the completely symmetric functions on powers of singular values of matrices.
