We see that u, v = uT Dv = (uT Dv)T = vT Du = h i v, u . And, αu, v + w = α(uT D(v + w)) = α( u, v + u, w ). Therefore, the first three properties h i h i h i h i for an inner product all hold true. 7 0 1. For u, v := 7u1v1 + 1.2u2v2, the diagonal matrix D = . Therefore, u, u := h i 0 1.2 h i 7u2 +1.2u2 0, with equality if and only if the vector u = 0, i.e. this is a valid innerproduct. 1 2 ≥ A vector orthogonal to the given y satisfies u, y := 7u1(2) + 1.2u2 = 0, e.g. we could set 1 h i u1 = 1 and get that u = − .

Therefore, u, u := 7u h i − − 0 1.2 h i − 1 − − 1.2u2 < 0, if the vector u = 0, i.e. this is not a valid innerproduct. 2 6 2 7 0 2 2 3. For u, v := 7u1v1 1.2u2v2, the matrix D = . Therefore, u, u := 7u 1.2u < h i − 0 1.2 h i 1 − 2 2 − 0, if the vector u = 0, and u2 < 1.2u2 , i.e. this is not a valid innerproduct. 6 1 7 END SOLUTION. 4 Inner Product in 3 *** S Let 3 denote the vector space of 3 3 symmetric matrices.

(b) tr S(T+V) = tr (ST+SV) = tr ST+tr SV, where the last equality follows straight from the definition of taking the sum of the diagonal elements. (c) tr αS= αtr S, again follows from the definition, i.e. both are equal to i(αSii). (d) S,S = trSS = trS2 = S2 0 and it is = 0 if an only if each S2 = 0, i.e. if and h i ij ij ≥ ijP only if S = 0. P 2. We first note that tr S1S2 =1+1+1 3 = 0, i.e. S1 S2. Therefore, we can apply one − ⊥ step of the process. But we need a matrix that is linearly independent to both S1,S2. By observation the matrix 0 0 0 S3 = 0 0 0 0 0 1 2d a d − works and in fact is orthogonal to both. Note that any matrix of the form a 0 b d b c does the job. Also, note we could also choose a random matrix (linearly independent with 3 1 1 0 S1,S2) and then apply one step of the process, e.g. choose R = 1 1 0 . Then we can 0 0 0 find the third matrix by subtracting the projection onto the span of the first two, i.e. R,S1 R,S2 ˆ h i h i S3 = R S1,S1 S1 S2,S2 S2 − 2h i 2− h i = R 4 S1 −12 S2 − 1 − 1 = R S1 + S2 − 2 6 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 = 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 + 1 0 3 0 − 2 6 − 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 2/3 1 1/3 − = 1 0 0 1/3 0 0 − 3.

We denote by Mn(F) the algebra of n×n matrices over F. Given a nonempty subset S of Mn(F), a map : Mn(F) ! Mn(F) is called commuting on S (respectively, additive on S) if (A)A = A (A) for all A 2 S (respectively, (A + B) = (A) + (B) for all A; B 2 S). In 2012, using Breˇsar'sresult [1, Theorem A], Franca [3] characterized commuting additive maps on invertible (respectively, singular) matrices of Mn(F). He continued to characterize commuting additive maps on rank k matrices of Mn(F) in [4], where 2 6 k 6 n is a fixed integer, and commuting additive maps on rank one matrices of Mn(F) in [5].

David Kastor, Sourya Ray and Jennie Traschen Department of Physics University of Massachusetts Amherst, MA 01003 ABSTRACT Killing-Yano tensors are natural generalizations of Killing vec- tors. We investigate whether Killing-Yano tensors form a graded Lie algebra with respect to the Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket. We find that this proposition does not hold in general, but that it arXiv:0705.0535v1 [hep-th] 3 May 2007 does hold for constant curvature spacetimes. We also show that Minkowski and (anti)-deSitter spacetimes have the maximal num- ber of Killing-Yano tensors of each rank and that the algebras of these tensors under the SN bracket are relatively simple exten- sions of the Poincare and (A)dS symmetry algebras.

  • 8 Rank of a Matrix
    8 Rank of a matrix We already know how to figure out that the collection (v1;:::; vk) is linearly dependent or not if each n vj 2 R . Recall that we need to form the matrix [v1 j ::: j vk] with the given vectors as columns and see whether the row echelon form of this matrix has any free variables. If these vectors linearly independent (this is an abuse of language, the correct phrase would be \if the collection composed of these vectors is linearly independent"), then, due to the theorems we proved, their span is a subspace of Rn of dimension k, and this collection is a basis of this subspace. Now, what if they are linearly dependent? Still, their span will be a subspace of Rn, but what is the dimension and what is a basis? Naively, I can answer this question by looking at these vectors one by one. In particular, if v1 =6 0 then I form B = (v1) (I know that one nonzero vector is linearly independent). Next, I add v2 to this collection. If the collection (v1; v2) is linearly dependent (which I know how to check), I drop v2 and take v3. If independent then I form B = (v1; v2) and add now third vector v3. This procedure will lead to the vectors that form a basis of the span of my original collection, and their number will be the dimension. Can I do it in a different, more efficient way? The answer if \yes." As a side result we'll get one of the most important facts of the basic linear algebra.

  • 2.2 Kernel and Range of a Linear Transformation
    2.2 Kernel and Range of a Linear Transformation Performance Criteria: 2. (c) Determine whether a given vector is in the kernel or range of a linear trans- formation. Describe the kernel and range of a linear transformation. (d) Determine whether a transformation is one-to-one; determine whether a transformation is onto. When working with transformations T : Rm → Rn in Math 341, you found that any linear transformation can be represented by multiplication by a matrix. At some point after that you were introduced to the concepts of the null space and column space of a matrix. In this section we present the analogous ideas for general vector spaces. Definition 2.4: Let V and W be vector spaces, and let T : V → W be a transformation. We will call V the domain of T , and W is the codomain of T . Definition 2.5: Let V and W be vector spaces, and let T : V → W be a linear transformation. • The set of all vectors v ∈ V for which T v = 0 is a subspace of V . It is called the kernel of T , And we will denote it by ker(T ). • The set of all vectors w ∈ W such that w = T v for some v ∈ V is called the range of T . It is a subspace of W , and is denoted ran(T ). It is worth making a few comments about the above: • The kernel and range “belong to” the transformation, not the vector spaces V and W . If we had another linear transformation S : V → W , it would most likely have a different kernel and range.

  • 23. Kernel, Rank, Range
    23. Kernel, Rank, Range We now study linear transformations in more detail. First, we establish some important vocabulary. The range of a linear transformation f : V ! W is the set of vectors the linear transformation maps to. This set is also often called the image of f, written ran(f) = Im(f) = L(V ) = fL(v)jv 2 V g ⊂ W: The domain of a linear transformation is often called the pre-image of f. We can also talk about the pre-image of any subset of vectors U 2 W : L−1(U) = fv 2 V jL(v) 2 Ug ⊂ V: A linear transformation f is one-to-one if for any x 6= y 2 V , f(x) 6= f(y). In other words, different vector in V always map to different vectors in W . One-to-one transformations are also known as injective transformations. Notice that injectivity is a condition on the pre-image of f. A linear transformation f is onto if for every w 2 W , there exists an x 2 V such that f(x) = w. In other words, every vector in W is the image of some vector in V . An onto transformation is also known as an surjective transformation. Notice that surjectivity is a condition on the image of f. 1 Suppose L : V ! W is not injective. Then we can find v1 6= v2 such that Lv1 = Lv2. Then v1 − v2 6= 0, but L(v1 − v2) = 0: Definition Let L : V ! W be a linear transformation. The set of all vectors v such that Lv = 0W is called the kernel of L: ker L = fv 2 V jLv = 0g: 1 The notions of one-to-one and onto can be generalized to arbitrary functions on sets.

For every 2 × 2 matrix A, there exists a 2 × 2 matrix B such that det(A + B) 6= det A + det B. Solution note: False! Take A to be the zero matrix for a counterexample. 2. If the change of basis matrix SA!B = ~e4 ~e3 ~e2 ~e1 , then the elements of A are the same as the element of B, but in a different order. Solution note: True. The matrix tells us that the first element of A is the fourth element of B, the second element of basis A is the third element of B, the third element of basis A is the second element of B, and the the fourth element of basis A is the first element of B. 6 6 3. Every linear transformation R ! R is an isomorphism. Solution note: False. The zero map is a a counter example. 4. If matrix B is obtained from A by swapping two rows and det A < det B, then A is invertible. Solution note: True: we only need to know det A 6= 0. But if det A = 0, then det B = − det A = 0, so det A < det B does not hold. 5. If two n × n matrices have the same determinant, they are similar.

  • The Determinant Inner Product and the Heisenberg Product of Sym(2)
    INTERNATIONAL ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF GEOMETRY VOLUME 14 NO. 1 PAGE 1–12 (2021) DOI: HTTPS://DOI.ORG/10.32323/IEJGEO.602178 The determinant inner product and the Heisenberg product of Sym(2) Mircea Crasmareanu (Dedicated to the memory of Prof. Dr. Aurel BEJANCU (1946 - 2020)Cihan Ozgur) ABSTRACT The aim of this work is to introduce and study the nondegenerate inner product < ·; · >det induced by the determinant map on the space Sym(2) of symmetric 2 × 2 real matrices. This symmetric bilinear form of index 2 defines a rational symmetric function on the pairs of rays in the plane and an associated function on the 2-torus can be expressed with the usual Hopf bundle projection 3 2 1 S ! S ( 2 ). Also, the product < ·; · >det is treated with complex numbers by using the Hopf invariant map of Sym(2) and this complex approach yields a Heisenberg product on Sym(2). Moreover, the quadratic equation of critical points for a rational Morse function of height type generates a cosymplectic structure on Sym(2) with the unitary matrix as associated Reeb vector and with the Reeb 1-form being half of the trace map. Keywords: symmetric matrix; determinant; Hopf bundle; Hopf invariant AMS Subject Classification (2020): Primary: 15A15 ; Secondary: 15A24; 30C10; 22E47. 1. Introduction This short paper, whose nature is mainly expository, is dedicated to the memory of Professor Dr. Aurel Bejancu, who was equally a gifted mathematician and a dedicated professor. As we hereby present an in memoriam paper, we feel it would be better if we choose an informal presentation rather than a classical structured discourse, where theorems and propositions are followed by their proofs.

  • Inner Product Spaces
    CHAPTER 6 Woman teaching geometry, from a fourteenth-century edition of Euclid’s geometry book. Inner Product Spaces In making the definition of a vector space, we generalized the linear structure (addition and scalar multiplication) of R2 and R3. We ignored other important features, such as the notions of length and angle. These ideas are embedded in the concept we now investigate, inner products. Our standing assumptions are as follows: 6.1 Notation F, V F denotes R or C. V denotes a vector space over F.
