Relation between the eigenvalues of a block matrix and the eigenvalues of its diagonal blocks
Consider the $(m+n) \times (m+n)$ block matrix
$$M = \begin{bmatrix} A & B \\ C & D \end{bmatrix}$$
I need references where they are talking about the relation between the eigenvalues of $M$ ...

When does $\det \begin{pmatrix} A & X \\ X^T & A \end{pmatrix} = (\det A)^2 + (\det X)^2$?
Let $A$ be an $n \times n$ real symmetric matrix.
Let
$$
M = \begin{pmatrix} A & X \\ X^T & A \end{pmatrix}
$$
where $X$ is a real invertible $n \times n$ matrix. I am interested in finding ...

Singularity of symmetric block matrix with singular diagonal blocks
One can show that the following statement holds:
Given symmetric matrix $A \in \Re^{n \times n}$ and tall matrix $B \in \Re^{n \times p}$ with full column rank,
$$\begin{bmatrix}A & B \\ B^T &...

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 ...
