Inequality involving minors of an orthogonal matrix

Fix $n \geq 3$ and take any orthonormal vectors $x,y,z \in \mathbb{R}^n$. Let also $A \in M_n(\mathbb{R})$ be a symmetric matrix with positive entries ($A_{ij} = A_{ji} > 0$). Is the following ...

What is special in dimension $2$ (When characterizing isometries using the cofactor matrix)?

Let $A$ be a real $n \times n$ matrix. Denote by $\operatorname{cof} A$ The cofactor matrix of $A$. By definition, $A (\operatorname{cof} A)^T=\det A \cdot I$. Thus, it is immediate that $A \in \...

MInors related problem [closed]

A matrix $A$ has $m$ rows and $n$ colums, such that $m \leq n$. We know that each row of $A$ has the norm $1$ (the norm of an element $x=(x_1,x_2,...,x_n) \in \mathbb{R}^n$ is $||x||=\sqrt{x_1^2+x_2^2+...
