Eigenvalues of a block matrix with zero diagonal blocks

Suppose $A$ is a $k_1\times k_2$ matrix with real entries, $k_1<k_2$. Let $M$ be the matrix \begin{equation} M:=\begin{pmatrix} 0_{k_1} & A\\ A^\top & 0_{k_2} \end{pmatrix}, \end{equation} ...

eigenvalues of a square block matrix

How can we show that there are not defective eigenvalues for this square block matrix of dimension $2d \times 2d $: \begin{bmatrix} A&B\\-B& 0 \end{bmatrix} where A, B are real matrices, $A =\...

Eigenvalues of block-hermitian matrices with zero diagonal blocks

I have a matrix of the form $$D = \left( \begin{array}{cc} 0 & C \\ C^{\dagger} & 0 \end{array} \right)$$ where $C$ is not necessarily hermitian. In general, can we say anything about the ...
