Conditions of P for existence of orthogonal matrix Q and permutation matrix U satisfying QP = PU
Question: Let $P\in \mathbb{R}^{d\times n}$ be a $d$-rank real matrix and $PP^T = c I_d$ with a certain constant $c > 0$. Under what additional conditions of $P$ does there exist an orthogonal ...

A Dynkin type classification result in linear algebra
Let $G$ be a finite directed acyclic graph. The Cartan matrix $C_G=C$ of $G$ is defined as the matrix with rows and colums indexed by the vertices of $G$ and $c_{i,j}$ counts the number of paths from $...

Subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}_n$ stabilizing linear subspace skew-symmetric matrices
I am currently reading "Schiffer variations and the generic Torelli theorem for hypersurfaces" by Voisin, where it is claimed that the subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}_{2m}$ ($m \geq 3$) which preserves a ...

Are there nice isomorphisms $\operatorname{S}^2(k^n)\cong\Lambda^2(k^{n+1})$?
This might be forced to migrate to math.SE but let me still risk it.
The spaces $\operatorname{S}^2(k^n)$ and $\Lambda^2(k^{n+1})$ from the title have equal dimensions. Is there a natural isomorphism ...

Is anything known about the eigenspectrum of the regular representation of the permutation group?
I am looking for information like upper bounds on how many times any eigenvalue can occur or something like how many eigenvalues can be there in some given range. Is anything like this known?
The ...
