We characterize maps , and , that have the multiplicative spectrum or trace preserving property: where is the set of doubly stochastic, row stochastic, or column stochastic matrices, or the space spanned by one of these sets. Linearity is assumed when . We show that every stochastic matrix contains a real doubly stochastic component that carries the spectral information. In consequence, the multiplicative spectrum or trace preservers on these sets are linked to the corresponding preservers on the space of doubly stochastic matrices. Moreover, when , multiplicative trace preservers always coincide with multiplicative spectrum preservers.

In this paper, we describe the explicit construction of parabolically induced representations of the group for and establish an irreducibility criterion for these representations. Additionally, we determine the number of irreducible constituents in the case of reducibility. Furthermore, we study the primitive cuspidal representations and explore the representations of using the Whittaker and Kirillov model.

Given two tuples of subspaces, can you tell whether the tuples are isomorphic? We develop theory and algorithms to address this fundamental question. We focus on isomorphisms in which the ambient vector space is acted on by either a unitary group or general linear group. If isomorphism also allows permutations of the subspaces, then the problem is at least as hard as graph isomorphism. Otherwise, we provide a variety of polynomial-time algorithms with Matlab implementations to test for isomorphism.

In this paper, we will compute the characteristic polynomials for finite dimensional representations of classical complex Lie algebras and the exceptional Lie algebra of type , which can be obtained through the orbits of integral weights under the action of their corresponding Weyl groups and the invariant polynomial theory of the Weyl groups. We show that the characteristic polynomials can be decomposed into products of irreducible orbit factors, each of which is invariant under the action of their corresponding Weyl groups.

We compute the quadratic embedding constant for complete bipartite graphs with disjoint edges removed. Moreover, we study the quadratic embedding property for theta graphs, i.e., graphs consisting of three paths with common initial points and common endpoints. As a result, we provide an infinite family of primary graphs that are not quadratically embeddable.

This paper investigates the optimization of dual frame pairs in the context of erasure problems in data transmission, using a graph theoretical approach. Frames are essential for mitigating errors and signal loss due to their redundancy properties. We address the use of spectral radius and operator norm for error measurements, presenting conditions for the optimality of dual pairs for one and two erasures. Our study shows that a tight frame generated by connected graphs and its canonical dual pair is optimal for one-erasure scenarios. Additionally, we compute the spectral radius of the error operator for one and two erasures in graph-generated frames, establishing necessary conditions for dual pair optimality.

In this paper we analyze PageRank of a complex network as a function of its personalization vector. By using this approach, a complete characterization of the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of the PageRank of a graph is given in terms of the number and nature of its strongly connected components. The method presented essentially follows the classic Power's Method by means of a feedback-PageRank that allows to precisely compute the fixed points, in terms of the (left-hand) Perron vector of each strongly connected component.
