Skew Symmetric Matrix

A combinatorial construction proves an identity for the product of the Pfaffian of a skew-symmetric matrix by the Pfaffian of one of its submatrices. Several applications of this identity are followed by a brief history of Pfaffians.

Skew Symmetric Matrix

We provide geometrical conditions on the manifold for the existence of the Liao's factorization of stochastic flows [10]. If M is simply connected and has constant curvature, then this decomposition holds for any stochastic flow, conversely, if every flow on M has this decomposition, then M has constant curvature. Under certain conditions, it is possible to go further on the factorization: φt = ξt°Ψt° Θt, where ξt and Ψt have the same properties of Liao's decomposition and (ξt°Ψt) are affine transformations on M. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the isometric component ξt via rotation matrix, providing a Furstenberg–Khasminskii formula for this skew-symmetric matrix.

Skew Symmetric Matrix

In a recent paper (3)* the following theorem was proved for real matrices.Theorem 1. If A is a symmetric matrix and Q is a skew-symmetric matrix such that A + Q is non-singular, then1is a cogredient automorph (c.a.) of A whose determinant is + 1 and having theproperty that A and I + P span the same row space.Conversely, if P is a c.a. of A whose determinant is + 1 and if P has theproperty that I + P and A span the same row space, then there exists a skew symmetricmatrix Q such that P is given by equation (1).Theorem 1 reduces to the well-known Cayley parameterization in the case where A is non-singular. A similar and somewhat simpler result (Theorem 4) was given for the case when the underlying field is the complex field. It was also shown that the second part of the theorem (in either form) is false when the characteristic of the underlying field is 2. The purpose of this paper is to simplify the proof of Theorem 1 and at the same time, to extend these results to matrices over an arbitrary field of characteristic ≠ 2.
