Essentially Hermitian matrices revisited
Main Article Content
Abstract
The following case of the Determinantal Conjecture of Marcus and de Oliveira is
established. Let A and C be hermitian n × n matrices with prescribed eigenvalues a1,...,an and
c1,...,cn, respectively. Let κ be a non-real unimodular complex number, B = κC, bj = κcj for
j = 1,...,n. Then
n det(A − B) ∈ co{ ∏ (aj − bσ(j)); σ ∈ Sn }, j=1
where Sn denotes the group of all permutations of {1,...,n} and co the convex hull taken in the
complex plane.
