Suppose $A$ is a random real-valued $n\times n$ matrix and we want to know the difficulty of solving $Ax=b$ when entries of $b$ are sampled IID from Normal$(0,1)$. Can we say anything about the ...

Kostrikin and Manin, in their Linear Algebra and Geometry, state that: (The excerpt is on pp. 42-43.) The statement comes after a proof of general linear group over reals having two connected ...

Let $H$ be a Hilbert space, $T_+(H)$ the set of positive self-adjoint trace-class operators on $H$, and $f : T_+(H) \to [0,m]$ a non-negative, bounded, convex functional. I don't necessarily know that ...

There is few posts on MO that asked about reference on this topic, and I found some difficulty during the process of getting myself into the subject so here is the question. I really want to hear ...

Introduction: Let's assume we have a 2-form $\alpha=(1/2)\sum_{j,k=1}^n a_{jk}\ e_j\wedge e_k$, where $n=2m$, and $a_{jk}\in\mathbb C$. We know that $\alpha^{\wedge m}=\alpha\wedge\alpha\dots\wedge\...

I'm looking for an appropriate measure to quantify the extent to which two matrices commute. In other words, if A and B are two n×n Hermitian matrices, and [A,B]=C. I'd like a function μ:Cn×n→[0,∞) ...
