Denote this smallest $k$ by $k(A)$. At least, one has (obvious) $$({\rm rk}(A)=1)\Longrightarrow(k(A)=1).$$ On the other hand, Wielandt's Theorem says that for every primitive matrix $A\ge0_n$, one ha …

After further thinking, I believe that the answer is positive for every $n\ge2$. Here is a tantative proof. Given an arbitrary vector $v$, we want to show that $q(v):=v^TP_{n-1}(A_1,,\ldots,A_{n-1})v …

Because of the lack of answers, I continued my investigations, and eventually got it ! Notation : because some expressions are too long for the command widehat, I'll sometimes denote ${\rm Cof}A$ for …

S. Kharlamov pointed out to me that it is a consequence of the diagonalization of the Laplacian $\Delta_S$ over the unit sphere. Its eigenvalues are the integers $\lambda_d=d(d+n-2)$, and the correspo …
