Parametrization of real-valued SU(N)

I want to construct a $SU(N)$ matrix $V$, with the following property: All the elements of the first row are given, i.e. $V_{1,j}=a_i$ (with $\sum_i a_i^2=1$) All matrix elements are real, i.e. $V_{i,...

Representation over matrices $A_i^3=I$, $A_0A_1^\dagger+A_1A_2^\dagger+A_2A_0^\dagger=0$, $A_0^\dagger A_1+A_1^\dagger A_2+A_2^\dagger A_0=0$

I would like to know what all the possible finite-dimensional representations of the following relations are. $$A_0^3 = A_1^3 = A_2^3 = I \tag{1}$$ $$A_0 A_1^\dagger + A_1 A_2^\dagger + A_2 A_0^\...

relationships between $AA^T$ and $[(I-A)(I-A)^T]^{-1}$ with $A$ being strictly lower triangular

I have a matrix $A$ which is strictly lower triangular. Now, I am trying to find some general statements/relationships of following matrices $U,D,V,K$ defined as: $AA^T=VKV^H$, $[(I-A)(I-A)^T]^{-1}=...

A sufficient condition (or not) for positive semidefiniteness of a matrix?

Let $A\in M_{n}(\mathbb{C})$ be a Hermitian matrix. If for all $z_1,...,z_n\in\mathbb{C}$, $$\sum_{i,j=1}^{n}A_{ij}z_{i}\overline{z_{j}}\ge 0$$ then A is positive semidefinite. I do not think the ...

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 ...

Method to Generate Random Mutually Orthogonal Unitary Matrices

The title says it all, I'd like to know if such a method exists to generate random mutually orthogonal unitary matrices. If so, any supplementary references would be very much obliged. Thanks again!

Similarity about unitary matrices

Suppose $G_1, \ldots, G_k$ are unitary, Hermitian, and anti-commuting matrices, and assume the same for $F_1, \ldots, F_k$. Suppose these matrices are similar, i.e. there exists $T \in GL_n(\mathbb{C})...
