Hermitian forms over $K\times K$
Let $V$ be a finitely generated module over the ring $R=K\times K$ where $K$ is a field. We fix the switch involution on the ring $R$. Let $H$ be a hermitian form over $V$.
When $V$ is a free module, ...

Projecting solutions of Hermitian forms over local rings
Let $R$ be a local ring (commutative and with $1$) with maximal ideal $M$, with an involution $\theta$. Let $h$ be a Hermitian form on $R^n$, i.e. $h:R^n\times R^n\rightarrow R$ such that $h$ is $R$-...

Can we write unitary matrices as positive linear combinations of Hermitian matrices?
The space $M_n:=M_n(\mathbb{C})$ of complex $n\times n$ matrices has the structure of a finite-dimensional complex vector space.
The space of Hermitian matrices forms a cone in this vector space $M_n$...
