Linear subspaces of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{R})$ whose inverses are also linear subspaces

$\DeclareMathOperator\GL{GL}$We will call a subset $S \subset \GL_n(\mathbb{R})$ a linear subspace if it is of the form $S = S'\cap \GL_n(\mathbb{R})$ for some $S'\subset M_n(\mathbb{R})$ which is a ...

General Sylvester's linear matrix equation

For what conditions on $A$, $B$ and $C$ (square matrices of size $n$) would there be a unique solution to $$ ABX + AXC + XBC = D, $$ for any $D$? Can one expect a characterization similar to the ...

On the linear transformation between matrix space

Suppose we have two matrix subspaces, $n\times n$ matrix subspace $S_1$ and $m\times m$ matrix subspace $S_2$. Every element of $S_1$ and $S_2$ is complex symmetric matrix. Suppose there exists ...
