Abstract: There are various definitions of right and left polar decompositions of an $mimesn$ matrix $Finmathbb{K}^{mimesn}$ (where $mathbbK=mathbbC$ or $mathbbR$) with respect to bilinear or sesquilinear products defined by nonsingular matrices $Minmathbb{K}^{mimesm}$ and $Ninmathbb{K}^{nimesn}$. The existence and uniqueness of such decompositions under various assumptions on $F$, $M$, and $N$ have been studied. Here we introduce a new form of right and left polar decompositions, $F=WS$ and $F=S^{\prime }{W}^{\prime }$, respectively, where the matrix $W$ has orthonormal columns ($W^{\prime }$ has orthonormal rows) with respect to suitably defined scalar products which are functions of $M$, $N$, and $F$, and the matrix $S$ is selfadjoint with respect to the same suitably defined scalar products and has eigenvalues only in the open right half-plane. We show that our right and left decompositions exist and are unique for any nonsingular matrices $M$ and $N$ when the matrix $F$ satisfies $(F^{[M,N]}{)}^{[N,M]}=F$ and $F^{[M,N]}F$ ($F{F}^{[M,N]}$, respectively) is nonsingular, where $$ with $$ for real or complex bilinear forms and $$ for sesquilinear forms. When $M=N$, our results apply to nonsingular square matrices $F$. Our assumptions on $F$, $M$, and $N$ are in some respects weaker and in some respects stronger than those of previous work on polar decompositions.
