Geometry of 2×2 Hermitian matrices over any division ring

Let D be a division ring with an involution-,H2(D) be the set of 2 × 2 Hermitian matrices over D. Let ad(A,B) = rank(A-B) be the arithmetic distance between A,B ∈ H2(D) . In this paper,the fundamental theorem of the geometry of 2 × 2 Hermitian matrices over D(char(D) = 2) is proved:if  :H2(D) → H2(D) is the adjacency preserving bijective map,then  is of the form (X) = tP XσP +(0) ,where P ∈ GL2(D) ,σ is a quasi-automorphism of D. The quasi-automorphism of D is studied,and further results are obtained.     

Geometry of 2 × 2 hermitian matrices

LetD be a division ring which possesses an involution a → α . Assume that is a proper subfield ofD and is contained in the center ofD. It is pointed out that ifD is of characteristic not two, D is either a separable quadratic extension of F or a division ring of generalized quaternions over F and that if D is of characteristic two,D is a separable quadratic extension ofF. Thus the trace map Tr:D → F, a → a + a is always surjective, which is formerly posed as an assumption in the fundamental theorem of n×n hermitian matrices overD when n ≥ 3 and now can be deleted. WhenD is a field, the fundamental theorem of 2 × 2 hermitian matrices overD has already been proved. This paper proves the fundamental theorem of 2×2 hermitian matrices over any division ring of generalized quaternions of characteristic not two This research was completed during a visit to the Academy of Mathematics and System Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The Geometry of 2 × 2 Systems of Conservation Laws

We consider one typical two-parameter family of quadratic systems of 2 × 2 conservation laws, and study the geometry of the behaviour of the possible solutions of the Riemann problem near an umbilic point, following the geometric approach presented by Isaacson, Marchesin, Palmeira, Plohr, in A global formalism for nonlinear waves in conservation laws, Commun. Math. Phys. (1992). The corresponding phase portraits for the rarefaction curves, shock curves and composite curves are discussed. Financial support from FCT and Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.

Criteria for unitary congruence of complex 2 × 2 matrices

Canonical forms of 2 × 2 matrices with respect to unitary congruence transformations are described. This makes it possible to formulate simple criteria for checking whether the given matrices are unitarily congruent.     

Perturbation of spectra for a class of 2×2 operator matrices

In this paper, we study the perturbation of spectra for 2 × 2 operator matrices such as M _X = ( _{0 B} ^{A X} ) and M _Z = ( _{Z B} ^{A C} ) on the Hilbert space H ?? K and the sets $\bigcap\limits_{X \in \mathcal{B}(K,H)} {P_\sigma (M_X )} ,\bigcap\limits_{X \in \mathcal{B}(K,H)} {R_\sigma (M_X )} $ and $\bigcap\limits_{Z \in \mathcal{B}(H,K)} {\sigma (M_Z )} ,\bigcap\limits_{Z \in \mathcal{B}(H,K)} {P_\sigma (M_Z )} ,\bigcap\limits_{Z \in \mathcal{B}(H,K)} {R_\sigma (M_Z )} ,\bigcap\limits_{Z \in \mathcal{B}(H,K)} {C_\sigma (M_Z )} $ , where R(C) is a closed subspace, are characterized

Characterizations of perturbations of spectra of 2×2 upper triangular operator matrices

When $A\in B\left(H\right)$ and $B\in B\left(K\right)$ are given, we denote by $M_C$ the operator acting on the infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space $H\oplus K$ of the form $M_C=\left(\begin{array}{cc}\hfill A\hfill & \hfill C\hfill \\ \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill B\hfill \end{array}\right)$. In this paper, we first give some necessary and sufficient conditions for $M_C$ to be a left invertible operator (an upper semi-Weyl, upper semi-Fredholm) operator for some $C\in B(K,H)$, which extend the corresponding results in Cao et al. (2006) [4], Cao and Meng (2005) [5], Hwang and Lee (2001) [12] and Li and Du (2006) [15]. Then we present some counter-examples.

Lorentzian geometry for 2 × 2 real matrices

We give an interpretation and a natural proof of the lemma of Herglotz on 2 × 2 symmetric matrices from the point of view of 3-dimensional Lorentz geometry and 2-dimensional hyperbolic geometry. This interpretation leads naturally to an analogous result on 2 × 2 matrices with trace 0.     

Limiting-type theorem for conditional distributions of products of independent unimodular 2×2 matrices

We consider a random process which is some version of the Brownian bridge in the space SL(2,R). Under simplifying assumptions we show that the increments of this process increase as t as in the case of the usual Brownian motion in the Euclidean space. The main results describe the limiting distribution for properly normed increments.
