Congruence of matrix spaces, matrix tuples, and multilinear maps

Publication date 12 February 2021

Abstract: Two matrix vector spaces

V, W s u b s e t m a t h b b C^{n i m e s n}

are said to be equivalent if

S V R = W

for some nonsingular

S

and

R

. These spaces are congruent if

R = S^{T}

. We prove that if all matrices in

V

and

W

are symmetric, or all matrices in

V

and

W

are skew-symmetric, then

V

and

W

are congruent if and only if they are equivalent. Let

F : U i m e s d o t s i m e s U o V

and

G : U^{'} i m e s d o t s i m e s U^{'} o V^{'}

be symmetric or skew-symmetric

k

-linear maps over

m a t h b b C

. If there exists a set of linear bijections

v a r p h i_{1}, d o t s, v a r p h i_{k} : U o U^{'}

and

p s i : V o V^{'}

that transforms

F

to

G

, then there exists such a set with

v a r p h i_{1} = d o t s = v a r p h i_{k}

.
