Congruences and Canonical Forms for a Positive Matrix: Application to the Schweinler-Wigner Extremum Principle
It is shown that a real symmetric [complex hermitian] positive
definite matrix is congruent to a diagonal matrix modulo a
pseudo-orthogonal [pseudo-unitary] matrix in [ ], for any
choice of partition . It is further shown that the method of proof in
this context can easily be adapted to obtain a rather simple proof of
Williamson's theorem which states that if is even then is congruent
also to a diagonal matrix modulo a symplectic matrix in
[]. Applications of these results considered include a
generalization of the Schweinler-Wigner method of `orthogonalization based on
an extremum principle' to construct pseudo-orthogonal and symplectic bases from
a given set of linearly independent vectors.Comment: 7 pages, latex, no figure
Recursive parametrization of Quark flavour mixing matrices
We examine quark flavour mixing matrices for three and four generations using
the recursive parametrization of and matrices developed by some
of us in Refs.[2] and [3]. After a brief summary of the recursive
parametrization, we obtain expressions for the independent rephasing invariants
and also the constraints on them that arise from the requirement of mod
symmetry of the flavour mixing matrix
Grand canonical partition functions for multi level para Fermi systems of any order
A general formula for the grand canonical partition function for a para Fermi
system of any order and of any number of levels is derived.Comment: 9 pages, latex, no figure
Bounds on quark mass matrices elements due to measured properties of the mixing matrix and present values of the quark masses
We obtain constraints on possible structures of mass matrices in the quark
sector by using as experimental restrictions the determined values of the quark
masses at the energy scale, the magnitudes of the quark mixing matrix
elements , , , and , and the
Jarlskog invariant . Different cases of specific mass matrices are
examined in detail. The quality of the fits for the Fritzsch and Stech type
mass matrices is about the same with and
, respectively. The fit for a simple
generalization (one extra parameter) of the Fritzsch type matrices, in the
physical basis, is much better with . For
comparison we also include the results using the quark masses at the 2 GeV
energy scale. The fits obtained at this energy scale are similar to that at
energy scale, implying that our results are unaffected by the evolution
of the quark masses from 2 to 91 GeV.Comment: Evolution effects include
Identities involving elementary symmetric functions
A systematic procedure for generating certain identities involving elementary symmetric functions is proposed. These identities, as particular cases, lead to a hierarchy of identities for q-binomial coefficients
Mapping of non-central potentials under point canonical transformations
Motivated by the observation that all known exactly solvable shape invariant
central potentials are inter-related via point canonical transformations, we
develop an algebraic framework to show that a similar mapping procedure is also
exist between a class of non-central potentials. As an illustrative example, we
discuss the inter-relation between the generalized Coulomb and oscillator
systems.Comment: 11 pages article in LaTEX (uses standard article.sty). Please check
