Lattices From Hermitian Function Fields, Albrecht Böttcher, Lenny Fukshansky, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Hiren Maharaj Jan 2016

Lattices From Hermitian Function Fields, Albrecht Böttcher, Lenny Fukshansky, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Hiren Maharaj

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

We consider the well-known Rosenbloom-Tsfasman function field lattices in the special case of Hermitian function fields. We show that in this case the resulting lattices are generated by their minimal vectors, provide an estimate on the total number of minimal vectors, and derive properties of the automorphism groups of these lattices. Our study continues previous investigations of lattices coming from elliptic curves and finite Abelian groups. The lattices we are faced with here are more subtle than those considered previously, and the proofs of the main results require the replacement of the existing linear algebra approaches by deep results of …

On The Quantization Of Zero-Weight Super Dynamical R-Matrices, Gizem Karaali Jan 2012

On The Quantization Of Zero-Weight Super Dynamical R-Matrices, Gizem Karaali

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

Solutions of the classical dynamical Yang-Baxter equation on a Lie superalgebra are called super dynamical r-matrices. A super dynamical r-matrix r satisfies the zero weight condition if

[h ⊗ 1 + 1 ⊗ h, r(λ)] = 0 for all h ∈ ɧ, λ ∈ ɧ ∗ .

In this paper we explicitly quantize zero-weight super dynamical r-matrices with zero coupling constant for the Lie superalgebra gl(m, n) . We also answer some questions about super dynamical R-matrices. In particular, we prove a classification theorem and offer some support for one particular …


Two Remarks About Nilpotent Operators Of Order Two, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Bob Lutz '13, D. Timotin Jan 2012

Two Remarks About Nilpotent Operators Of Order Two, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Bob Lutz '13, D. Timotin

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

We present two novel results about Hilbert space operators which are nilpotent of order two. First, we prove that such operators are indestructible complex symmetric operators, in the sense that tensoring them with any operator yields a complex symmetric operator. In fact, we prove that this property characterizes nilpotents of order two among all nonzero bounded operators. Second, we establish that every nilpotent of order two is unitarily equivalent to a truncated Toeplitz operator.


Unitary Equivalence To A Truncated Toeplitz Operator: Analytic Symbols, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Daniel E. Poore '11, William T. Ross Jan 2012

Unitary Equivalence To A Truncated Toeplitz Operator: Analytic Symbols, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Daniel E. Poore '11, William T. Ross

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

Unlike Toeplitz operators on H², truncated Toeplitz operators do not have a natural matricial characterization. Consequently, these operators are difficult to study numerically. In this paper we provide criteria for a matrix with distinct eigenvalues to be unitarily equivalent to a truncated Toeplitz operator having an analytic symbol. This test is constructive, and we illustrate it with several examples. As a byproduct, we also prove that every complex symmetric operator on a Hilbert space of dimension ≤ 3 is unitarily equivalent to a direct sum of truncated Toeplitz operators.


Unitary Equivalence To A Complex Symmetric Matrix: Low Dimensions, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Daniel E. Poore '11, James E. Tener '08 Jan 2012

Unitary Equivalence To A Complex Symmetric Matrix: Low Dimensions, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Daniel E. Poore '11, James E. Tener '08

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

A matrix TMn(C) is UECSM if it is unitarily equivalent to a complex symmetric (i.e., self-transpose) matrix. We develop several techniques for studying this property in dimensions three and four. Among other things, we completely characterize 4×4 nilpotent matrices which are UECSM and we settle an open problem which has lingered in the 3×3 case. We conclude with a discussion concerning a crucial difference which makes dimension three so different from dimensions four and above.

On The Matrix Equation Xa + Ax_T = 0, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Amy L. Shoemaker '14 Jan 2012

On The Matrix Equation Xa + Ax_T = 0, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Amy L. Shoemaker '14

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

The matrix equation XA+AXT=0, which has relevance to the study of Lie algebras, was recently studied by De Terán and Dopico (Linear Algebra Appl. 434 (2011), 44–67). They reduced the study of this equation to several special cases and produced explicit solutions in most instances. In this note we obtain an explicit solution in one of the difficult cases, for which only the dimension of the solution space and an algorithm to find a basis of this space were known previously


Classical Kloosterman Sums: Representation Theory, Magic Squares, And Ramanujan Multigraphs, Patrick S. Fleming, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Gizem Karaali Jan 2011

Classical Kloosterman Sums: Representation Theory, Magic Squares, And Ramanujan Multigraphs, Patrick S. Fleming, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Gizem Karaali

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

We consider a certain finite group for which Kloosterman sums appear as character values. This leads us to consider a concrete family of commuting hermitian matrices which have Kloosterman sums as eigenvalues. These matrices satisfy a number of “magical” combinatorial properties and they encode various arithmetic properties of Kloosterman sums. These matrices can also be regarded as adjacency matrices for multigraphs which display Ramanujan-like behavior.


Spatial Isomorphisms Of Algebras Of Truncated Toeplitz Operators, Stephan Ramon Garcia, William T. Ross, Warren R. Wogen Jan 2011

Spatial Isomorphisms Of Algebras Of Truncated Toeplitz Operators, Stephan Ramon Garcia, William T. Ross, Warren R. Wogen

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

We examine when two maximal abelian algebras in the truncated Toeplitz operators are spatially isomorphic. This builds upon recent work of N. Sedlock, who obtained a complete description of the maximal algebras of truncated Toeplitz operators.

Some New Classes Of Complex Symmetric Operators, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Warren R. Wogen Jan 2010

Some New Classes Of Complex Symmetric Operators, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Warren R. Wogen

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

We say that an operator $T \in B(H)$ is complex symmetric if there exists a conjugate-linear, isometric involution $C:H\to H$ so that $T = CT^*C$. We prove that binormal operators, operators that are algebraic of degree two (including all idempotents), and large classes of rank-one perturbations of normal operators are complex symmetric. From an abstract viewpoint, these results explain why the compressed shift and Volterra integration operator are complex symmetric. Finally, we attempt to describe all complex symmetric partial isometries, obtaining the sharpest possible statement given only the data $(\dim \ker T, \dim \ker T^*)$.
