Problem arising in metrizability of connections: Simultaneously skewsymmetrizing matrices

Fact: Let $U$ and $V$ be two $ n \times n$ matrices with determinant $ 1.$ Assume that $S_1,S_2,....S_m$ are linearly independent $n \times n$ matrices such that $U^{-1}S_iU$ and $V^{-1}S_iV$ are ...

A geometric property of singular matrices

Let $S\subset M_{n}(\mathbb{R})$ be the singular points of the equation $Det=0$. That is $S$ is the critical points of the determinant function. What matrices belongs to $S$, precisely? Let $M=...

Geometric means of matrices beyond the positive definite cone

Recently a lot of work has been done on geometric means of positive definite matrices (see here and here for example). Has anyone extended this concept to larger sets of matrices (copositive, for ...
