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} ...

Minimum rank of a product of two block diagonal matrices with an arbitrary matrix

Let us assume that we have an arbitrary full-rank $l\cdot b \times l\cdot p$ matrix, $\boldsymbol{H}$, with no specific structure (e.g., a realization of a Gaussian i.i.d. random matrix), an $m \times ...

Minimum of $\mathrm{rank}\left( \boldsymbol{W} \boldsymbol{H} \right)$, with $\boldsymbol{W}$ block diagonal

Let us assume that we have a full-rank $(n\cdot l)\times k$ matrix, $\boldsymbol{H}$, with no specific structure (e.g., a realization of a Gaussian i.i.d. random matrix), and an $m\times (n\cdot l)$ ...

Algebra of block matrices with scalar diagonals

I am interested in block matrices $A$, that is $A\in M_{n\times n}(R)$ where $R=M_{s\times s}(k)$ and $k$ is a field, such that for every positive integer $m$ the matrix $A^m$ has only scalar blocks ...

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 ...
