Review text

Let \(A=(a_{ij})\) be a complex skew-symmetric \(m\times m\)-matrix with singular values \(s_i\). Loosely speaking, the diagonal elements of certain submatrices of \(A\) are called partial superdiagonal elements of \(A\). In particular the entries \(a_{12},a_{34},a_{56},\ldots\) are the superdiagonal elements of \(A\). The author considers matrices \(A'=U^TAU\) where \(U\) ranges in the unitary group and sets of partial superdiagonal elements of all such \(A'\). Then all those partial superdiagonal elements can be characterized by inequalities in terms of the singular values \(s_i\). The paper contains a long list of references on the topic to characterize the diagonal elements of certain matrices in terms of their eigenvalues or singular values such as those of \textit{A. Horn} [Am. J. Math. 76, 620-630 (1954; Zbl 0055.24601)], \textit{F. Y. Sing} [Canadian Math. Bull. 19, 89-92 (1976; Zbl 0341.15007)] or \textit{R. C. Thompson} [SIAM J. Appl. Math. 32, 39-63 (1977; Zbl 0361.15009)].
