Congruential automorphism groups of general matrices. (Q1415305): Difference between revisions

Two square complex matrices \(A\) and \(B\) are said to be congruent, if \(B=C^*AC\) for a non-singular matrix \(C\). The equivalence class is a group in the case \(A=B\), called the automorphism group \(\Aut (A)\) of \(A\). It is shown that if \(A\) is non-singular and \(A^{-1}A^*\) is not similar to a unitary matrix, then the group \(\Aut(A)\) is unbounded with respect to a matrix norm.
