Dynamical Deformation of Toroidal Matrix Varieties

Abstract: In this document we study the local connectivity of the sets whose elements are

m

-tuples of pairwise commuting normal matrix contractions. Given

v a r e p s i l o n > 0

, we prove that there is

d e l t a > 0

such that for any two

m

-tuples of pairwise commuting normal matrix contractions

m a t h b f X := (X_{1}, l d o t s, X_{m})

and

i l d e m a t h b f X := (i l d e X_{1}, l d o t s, i l d e X_{m})

that are

d e l t a

-close with respect to some suitable distance

e t h

in

(m a t h b b C^{n i m e s n})^{m}

, we can find a

m

-tuple of matrix paths (homotopies) connecting

m a t h b f X

to

m a t h b f i l d e X

relative to the intersection of some

v a r e p s i l o n, e t h

-neighborhood of

m a t h b f X

with the set of

m

-tuples of pairwise commuting normal matrix contractions. One of the key features of these matrix homotopies is that

d e l t a

can be chosen independent of

n

. Some connections with topology and numerical matrix analysis will be outlined as well.
