The numerical radius of exterior powers (Q1239210)

Let \(\lambda_1\) and \(\alpha_1\) be respectively the eigenvalue of largest modulus and the largest singular value of the linear Operator \(A\). Then \(A\) is called radial if \(|\lambda_1|=\alpha_1\). This paper examines radial compound matrices. Investigation of the radial property for compound matrices is equivalent to an investigation of the case of equality in the classical inequalities of H. Weyl relating products of eigenvalues and singular values. It is shown that if \(A\) is an \(n\)-square complex matrix with eigenvalues \(\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_n\) and \(\lambda_1=\dots=\lambda_s\cdot>\lambda_{s+1}\geq\dots\geq\lambda_n\) and \(1\geq s>m\geq n\), then the \(m\)-th compound of \(A\) is radial if and only if \(A\) is radial.
