Feb 3, 2015 at 13:42 comment added Turbo can you update your answer? So that I could close.
Feb 3, 2015 at 13:42 comment added Felix Goldberg @Turbo Yes, I think it does.
Feb 3, 2015 at 12:38 comment added Turbo So you say in this case $rank(M\pm W)\in[rank(M)-2,rank(M)+2]$?
Feb 3, 2015 at 7:03 comment added Turbo Problem reduces to rank $2$ in symmetric case.
Feb 3, 2015 at 6:39 comment added Felix Goldberg @Turbo In that case, things are open again.... :( If you want to discuss the specific case, feel free to email me.
Feb 3, 2015 at 6:37 comment added Felix Goldberg @Turbo Yes, all you need is Hermitianness of $M$ and $W$. But as I said, having $\{0,1\}$ helps to perhaps pinpoint precisely which of the three cases occurs.
Feb 3, 2015 at 6:36 comment added Felix Goldberg @Turbo The magic works because it's a rank 1 update. It's possible to use interlacing for rank $k$ updates, but the bounds get progressively weaker, of course. The proof for rank $k$ is just an inductive application of Corollary 4.3.9 $k$ times (decompose $W$ as the sum of $k$ matrices of rank $1$).
Feb 3, 2015 at 6:34 comment added Felix Goldberg @Turbo It's proved in the reference I gave (the standard one on the subject).
